Not directly Aspen related but one of the firms I work with has changed from the red 2 stroke oil to green. My modded and tuned 200t runs terrible when using this fuel. I haven't had a chance to run some regular 2 stroke mix through it yet but will be tomorrow. Would this effect it in any way, ie should I tweak the carb with the new fuel. Apparently the change in oil was brought about by the 4 mix hedgetrimmers coking up the plugs and cutting out all the time. Any thoughts Steve or Garden kit?

No, it is just a tree. Albeit a big one. Good work Ross, shame to see it go but safe and healthy is of paramount importance

Went back to finish the ash job. Decided to pretension the pieces with a block and tackle for one of the stems. Snatched the other stem.

Bolam to translate? Haha. I hope there on a Sunday to pay double time cos that's how long Bolams translator will need to decifer him.

According to the instructions the safe working load is 2000kg when cut into the tree. The bollard is provided with rubber feet if you are retaining the tree but the load is reduced to 500kg. I shaved the sides as my lower sling was about 6 inches too short, so I made the but a bit narrower.

The truck is a Renault. It managed, just . It did ok until he tried to reverse up to the chipper. So I positioned it with the Nav. Yes Robert it is an Armadillo roll back. Does the job. That little Quad chip did ok today. First time I have seen one in use and it did the biz!

Not my job mate, only contract climbing. Ideal for the fell into the paddock but the landlord of the property wanted it dismantled and the fell would have probabley knackered the retaining wall between the gardens and the paddock. Easy enough day, finished by 2pm, home by 2.15. Literally it was 2 miles from my house. Back tomorrow for more of the same. You keeping busy Max?

Picked up a few bits and pieces from Fr Jones. Impact block, 60m 16mm polydine rope and thought I would try out the newish RC2001, 2t fixed bollard. Tree was reduced about 3 years ago so all regrowth was just cut and chucked and then rigged the tips and timber. Took it easy as there was 2 days in the job. Had a truck load of chip, dumped in the paddock and a truck load of logs. Back tomorrow to finish off. The RC2001 is a great tool, lighter than the 3001 but rock solid when snatching timber. Took a few big bits to get worn in but once going it was fine.

Nice one Glen, well done mate. Your now fully qualified to tell Danny what type of tree he is cutting...

Some awesome athletes and clever workmanship in this clip. It reminds me of the Honda advert a couple of years ago. Enjoy. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0jmSsQ5ptw]The Athlete Machine - Red Bull Kluge - YouTube[/ame]

Fat Stem mate. Enjoy yourself tomorrow.

I had exactly the same email and result nearly 3 months ago. RESULT. They were more than helpful at Stuart Sports when I spoke to them and I couldnt believe how cheap they were.

My mate has a pair Mammut - bought from blacks and they are awesome. Cant find the model though but they are about 230 nicker. Personally, if I had to get other or the Crestas were not available I was going to go for the La Spotiva but in green. La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX Mens - Green - Telemark Pyrenees Ski and Mountain Equipment Cheeper than HB, and they only do red ones. Even with delivery they turned out t be competetive.
-
I nearly went for them Tommy. Decided on the Crestas instead. The others look as though they would not be able to handle the riggers of treeclimbing.
-
Well you asked for advice and then went and bought something different.

Best tip I can offer is don't touch skin with it. I have had 13 stitches over years with 2 bad silky cuts. Quite a few other knicks. The serious one have been slippage in a tree due to bad weather or in one case a branch snapped I was stood on and I wazzed the sugioi (The sharpest and largest of the Silky range, might I add) straight into my forearm. Basically don't touch skin.

Just do your license to allow you to drive, HGV? Saves all the agg. You know it makes sense in the long run.

Hope the lad heals quick.

I wear on the left and just rotate the rear plate to extend the lanyard.

I did an advanced rigging workshop ran by the AA about 5 or 6 years ago. It was a day course and cost about 35 quid iirc. Well worth it if one is being run in your area but no cert is offered. Sorry, not done a treevolution course, but I did the cs41 ticket a few years back with Kingswood and we covered pretty much the same stuff as the advanced course. The good think about Richard is he will try and tailor the content to the level of the candidates. Do you already have cs41?

Yup, sweet as a sweet thing!

Just come in and it's doing this right about now...
