Im stumped then...

Cheers for the feedback. The ivestigation isnt as hard as it may have been given impression of.. The lady got away with a fright and was told that we now would have to perform a risk evaluation and do a lot of paperwork due to her stupidity.... We have a system of reporting incidents, accidents and riskobservations these are all logged in a computersystem and have to go through the "H&S Commity" So basically todays meeting was just an interview and to fill out some forms where a part is to try to find solutions how to avoid similar situation in future. I think its a good way of improving safety and highlight safety issues or bad practise. My collegue brought up the idea of improving communication to adress potential risks (kids, retards, dogs, cats etc that sort of have legit reason to ignore gates...) So any issues with the headsets that you see as a problem? Crisp sound at all times? How far do they work? How are they for climbing?

Any updates on the subject? Are they the mutts nutts? Or are there a better option that I'm not aware of? How do they compare to Peltors? The issue was brought up on a H&S meeting today as we had a near miss (hit...) accident yesterday as I was lumping down a tree on a closed off pedestrian walkway... a lady climbed a snowpile to get access to our site and was wondering why we had closed down the road... and why we didnt clear the road from brash so she could pass... BACAUSE ITS DANGEROUS BEEING HERE!!!! HENCE THE GATES, CONES SIGNS AND POSTERS TELLING YOU WHY ITS CLOSED!!!! So the question was asked if there was a better way of comunicating than screaming on top of our voices (as my groundie had to do to get my attention, as I had my eyes on the two groundies managing traffic while I dropped logs onto the side of the street....) I said I would look into this... so whats the deal? Are they good for climbing, any improvements? Have previous issues been solved?

:lol:True! But I ment your OPEN AIR office.... by the looks of it they DO let you out once in a while...

Cracking pics! If only I had that view from my office...

Add a remote controlled gun turret with a paintball weapon and ask Steve to stick it up instead of the dailygame and let the procedings go towards The Childrens Trust.... Now that would be some fun charitywork... a pound a bullet?

Wont call you stupid but will point you to this fine thread that will enlighten you! http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/tree-health-care/440-coronet-not-coronet-now-question.html

Welcome to the right side of the pond!!!

Name an shame on noticeboards on local supermarkets? Just ask for names as they "forgotten" to pay for your logs at your outlet?

Gary Moore was found dead in Spain this morning.... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ct8SBOa8Vs]YouTube - Gary Moore & Phil Lynnot - Out in the Fields[/ame]

Is it this one? http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/picture-forum/19449-sams-not-technical-photo-thread-2.html

Probably needles in the gutters....and you know how dangerous that is! Agree with you MonkeyD, it would be nice to know the full story.

I must have missed it then... thought it was a good one. Link to the thread?

Fairsized tree and some rigging... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d63jGiUMli8&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - Sequoia 46 mt. abbattimento controllato, tree climbing controlled cut down big tree.[/ame]

Was searching for videos of Kauris, because we had a visit yesterday from New Zealand and I realized that I had no idea about the trees youve got!

Rollomatic E

As far as I'm aware the techniques are the important thing, not sure about the exact measurement of the trees for the unit. Don't think it's focused on diameter. Next unit is advanced felling...stormfelled trees, leaning include felling aids and multiple hangups.

Stihl 3636 if I remember correctly as for your other bar info...I haven't the faintest!

My intention was never to patronise... I didnt tell my full experience because I want/wanted the discussion and as much input as possible. Your points are still valuable AND will be taken into account before I make my mind up!

And Oregon does make a 1,6mm bar for the 0.325 pitch (Ive seen it! But supposedly it doesent exist:sneaky2: But my supplier got one...) Cheers for comment though! I will look into the Oregonbar you suggested.

Valid points there Morten... Couple of weeks ago I retook my CS30 and 31 eqvivalent in the swedish system. The Instructors (trained in the US) provided MS261, 361 with 18" bars and PMC3, 3/8 chains.... They outperformed any logging ive seen before...! Very good technique and ergonomics. This got me thinking. They are dedicated to Stihl which made me think about the Oregon bar as Stihl doesent make a 18" bar for 0,325 chains as far as I know?!? Of course this was in a training environment so speed and comercial performence wasn't the main issue. BUT the instructors also do logging and arboristwork as a part of their buisness and this combination is what they use! I used both the 261 and the 361 and quite liked the balance of the 261 (and didnt feel it was lacking power...) The saws I usually work with is a MS260 with a 13" bar or a Husky 346 with a 15" bar (these are old, and pre me in the company, and is due to be replaced.) Might be a MS200 rearhandle for the girls...! Yes there are some groundie girls with small hands:sneaky2:

Well I was thinking of having the bar as my primary one so the sprocket wouldnt need changing around... the idea behind the 0.325 would be to compensate for the long bar...but would 0,05 mm in cutting edge make up for it? The possitive side with a long bar would be reach and not nessesary logging. The benefit would be for limbing. The lighter saw would be easier on your arms...361 is a tad heavy to be swinging around all day. It would also be nice up in the tree for big stuff. Why would it increase the risk of getting stuck? Surely the bar thickness and kerf ratio is similar between the two Bars/chains? As for a big saw, I do have a Husky 372XP with a longbar for the bigger trunks...
