yeah thats the kit i have go. very good for £25 . I also use the stone and file to sharpen my axes. Def worth buying!

sound good. Though the need to invent something that will alert the owner. Like a pager on belt that goes off very loud if someones trying to break into your yard.... So you can run out there with a hammer and kneecap the feckers. I would get satisfaction out of that .

got one of those a weeks ago. Very good phone. 24 months warranty on it. Very good small but powerful lcd torch on it. tested in water and it has held up good. I am going to order an arm strap for my mobile as keeping it in my pocket up the tree is pain in ass. 2 good work phones out there. samsung solid / jcb mobile

yeah i was doing he ouside before and it was taking long time to do sharpen them. I think if i take my spikes off instead of walking on site with them would prob help though.

3,800!

i bought a sharping kit for spikes with instructions. Ordered it from u.s. Says do the inside only. use a flat file first then touch up with sharpening stone. Spend 1 hrdoin i the other week. razor sharp now. Kit costs around £20

don't understand why it wasn't dismantled a bit lower instead of destroying lawn. LiveLeak.com - Tree cutting mishap

I pay guys £70 a day . they have less experience and tickets than you. they also don't have there own saws. I Would prob give you £80 a day depending on how hard you work and ifyou are a half decent climber £100 a day. have all the tickets under the sun..but if you don't work hard its worth nothing.

barber chairing can happen to the best. Worked with a guy a few years back felling a tree 3 times the size of that one in vid. Barber chaired about 15ft up. The tree was straight conifer with slightly more branches on one side.

wouldn't it be great if everyday was like that.! One cut and home.

ha! i used these before. Really dam dangerous. Only used it for little while though as the guys were to dangerous to work for. Far as i have been told there are lots of blokes wih severe whip scars because of these machines. Ouch!

neverhad a problme wit them myself. spike up them taking the skirt off on way up ( watching it doesn't close on you ) mind you they are dirty trees and i often found rats in them. Chunk on way down as you do woth conifers. pretty straight forward to bomb down ..pain in as the rig.

went and priced a job the other day. There was 1 big dead ash tree. It has dropped a large limb on private hospital roof. Anyways this tree has been tagged over a year ago to be removed and they had just left it. The tree is right next to a school and ready to fall over and day. there is no way to get cherry picker in. No way of getting crane in...and the only way to remove it is from ash tree that next to it which shall be very interesting Anyway what really annoyed me is when i turned up to price it..the there were biulders there and they had dumped all there cement all around the base of the the live trees. I gave them all a good mouthfull explaining that you can't do that..but the costumer wasn't even interested..even though it is a conservation area! I gave them a crazy high price just because i was pissed off..told them it was real complex removal and if they looked after there trees none of this would have happened. they need to hand out high fines for this. Think i will will just go call council and see what they have to say.

hi- viz.

Just ordered a h-v camelbak from states. designed for workers and looks gd.

what type of trees are you removing? If its hardwood i will come pick some up.

the use those little picco files and they have smaller chains that come off all the time. I put a my bar and chain from my ms200 on it and it did work better. They are nice and light though..but not designed for hard out arb work.

drink fluids slowly throughout the day. I was removing big euc in so-cal and wa in tree for 5 hrs in 35% . came down and downed a bottle of water...the stomach pain after that was so bad..had to lay in shade for 2 hrs to recover. shock to stomach.

piece of junk!

he's got to be a tranny he/she. No way could you train for that!

Because i know you are on here regular ...and i plan to learn as much as i can about tree work from your expert advice.

Yeah .ouch! why would you!!!!!!

I have been training hard the last couple years and have got pretty strong. anyways i thought i would see how far a could push my chinups. I maxed out at 70.25Kilos for 2 reps attached to waste. Which is impressive..so i wrote to giuness world book of records to see if i can set a new one. The guy wrote back telling me there is no record been attempted of this type but there is a well known fact of a famous chinner who weighed 17.5stone and chinned 140kilos attached . In total that is around 250k ..1/4 a ton chinup for 5 reps! Man thats incredible..better work harder!

maybe a change of name for arbtalk...what about Egotalk! I can tell you most of the really good arborists don't hang at forums..they to busy running there business and climbing. Arbtalk is great place to leanr new things and see whats happening in the industry..but man does all this ego crap ruin it. does a good climber make a good tree worker = WHO REALLY GIVES A DAM! in tree work we will never stop learning.

QUOTE=chipper wallah;149207]In tests 10 out of 10 monkeys could climb a tree fast, but not many of them could do a good reduction. ha,ha well i think this guy has summed up the whole discussion. :lol
