There is a lot of evidence based facts in that film, the makers have obviously done their homework.
-
Pics would good, just out of interest, as I know a couple of guys who have used their own homemade lowering devices, one is a giant figure of 8(weighs about 5 stone) and the other is a crude version of the original portawrap.
-
Always good to see homemade stuff Tom, got any pics of the bollard set up?
-
Thanks for posting Reg, excellent video. The helmet-cam shots really help to see whats going on from the climber's point of view. The Hobbs definatley allows for a smoother run and is a lot more predictable than the Porty. The drop at 9.30 looks a bit close for comfort, maybe your groundie could've removed the slack before the drop? but I guess you wanted a little run, right? Thanks again for another great vid.

Is that a Monterey Cypress hedge being trimmed, and would he get shocked if he contacted the powerlines?
-
Amazing to see those old photos, do you have any tree removal pics from the 60s/70s?
-
Who is the main importer/distributor of Jensen's in the UK?
-
Worse thing was, the chipper was straight from the factory.
-
Make sure the wheel nuts are done up real tight, we lost a wheel on one of our 250s pulling out onto a very busy road, gouged a nice ditch in the tarmac, very expensive repair.
-
A proper chipper. Shame its too big for the neighbourhoods I work in, wouldn't get any chipping done cause all we'd be doing trying to manouver it into position, then it'd be time to go home.
-
Bandit 250, best chipper I've used. Would like to try the bigger drum versions sometime. Anyone here used one of the massive Bandit drum chippers?
-
Not sure if I've got the model names exactly right - I've used both the A530 and A528, and found the older A528 with the fold down feed hopper to be a better machine, seems to be better built and better for a wider variety of treework, the A530 with the solid sloped hopper is ok for certain jobs long straight branches that dont need much prepping etc. Only issue I have with the A528 is the push bar can get over-sensitive after a while, but its easily fixed. The turntable version of the A528 is also excellent and can make life a lot easier on many difficult access jobs.. Jensens are much better than Timberwolf and better value than Schleisings, IMHO.

Whats a 'plie'?

igottacabstar, When your cruising round Truro listening to Brian May with your shades on, elbow hanging out the window, spare a thought for the 1000s of African orphans who could have lived off the money you spent on your X5 for a decade.
-
That buying an X5 is excessive waste of money.
-
I'm selling a king cab pick up for a good price in Arbtalk Classifieds. if your interested pm me for more info.
-
You could plant a 100,000 trees with the money your spending on that X5, making the world a better place for your children and their children's children.

Good post. Maybe igottacabstar should read this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspicuous_consumption

Driving an X5, Cayenne, Range Rover etc attracts a lot of unwanted attention. Only recently a few streets from me, some gansters smashed through a front door to get the keys of an X5 ran over the owner who tried to stop them. He survived but he is going to buy a Saab estate now. Dont blame him. Nice cars Saabs. I run a proper 4x4 - Daihatsu Fourtrack.
-
For squirrels or something?
-
Fused bud growth from an Ash.
-
This is the oddest vta symptom I've ever seen, these strange woody growths were from a Horse Chestnut riddled with cankers, growth rings can even be seen on them. Anyone know what they are?
-
Similar idea to the last pic, this is from a stone dead Beech. CODIT failed to save the tree.
-
Is this CODIT in action or something else? Cross section through a Holly.
-
Same thing here on Beech - Wall 4 of CODIT attempting to seal area of fire damage.
