    Well well gentleman Such a simple job but with so many views but as was said by Jesse that's what this forum is all about So yes the client has been maintaining the trees for many a moon and im the new contractor Initially they asked the TO for a pollard but she would only allow a 20% reduction Given time these trees will either be re pollard or strategically removed and replaced with new trees but as the avenue alongside the river is so picturesque ( minus the dog eggs ) they want to try and keep the trees for as long as pos Personally it's a nice job and has also given me a chance to work with Mr Rule,the weather has been sweet and we are making good progress so feel free to continue the debate Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Alright chaps Have just changed my clutch and purchased new velocity rope and have found my SJ slipping badly when I'm climbing on my cocoon as their is almost no friction in my system. I Have now swapped my cocoon for a DMM revolver to see how different the SJ reacts Not ideal but I will give it a try. Has anyone experienced this with SJ/velocity/cocoon combo ?? Many thanks
