going to definitly do more srt, trouble is a lot of our trees are small so often go double just because its easy and familiar but srt is so much more effiecient on ascents and being able to put in a redirect anywhere is just ace. been blagging my mates bulldogbone lately and thats awesome, zero sit back and feels so postive definitely top of my shopping list. i think a lot of the youtube vids and discussions on srt can make it look and seem a lot more complex than it really needs to be and id say most people will have a lot of the essential components in their kit already, certainly worth getting the few extra bits and giving in a shot. carl

thanks spud

any links to online suppliers of the fuel solenoid or part numbers? local dealer had not heard of the part. thanks carl
-
top work as usual. how long did that take? did you chip fairly big bits? thanks for sharing. carl

thanks for all the replies, yes steve we were saying we should swap air filters to rule that out. although i have seen air filters that are crazy blocked up and the saw has always run ok but maybe the new m tronics are more fussy. id say we will try the fuel solinoid too , easy to do? would it be worth swapping with the working saw or better to just stick a new one on? thanks again for the replies. carl

got a 201tcm at work which keeps stalling on idle and just not running that great. we have put in a new plug and took it to a repair place who said it was a dirty air filter, although we have another saw which gets the same maintenance and runs fine. i feel the next step is a new air filter. any one experience these issue and get it sorted? cant stand climbing saws that dont idle. thanks carl.

anyone order machines of these guys on the net "agrieuro"? how where they to deal with and how was back up should the machine break? thanks carl
-
how do you think think the bigger 5092h compares with other makes of a similar price ie castlegarden? thanks carl
-
thanks for that in depth reply garden kit. that bigger model does look a lot of mower for the money. im just trying to help a friend get a mower. thanks again carl.

id say only on removals unless you need them on a prune ie taking so many branches off theres nothing left to stand on in which case id say spike marks are the least of the trees worries!! not best practice but does seem to happen. i wonder how does spike damage compare with pruning cuts in terms of the trees healing ability's?

any one have experience with this model and the stiga brand? thanks carl.
-
how are these units fairing with day to day use and how many people can be in contact with each other? had a quick go with something similar a subby brought along and they seemed really efficient. thanks carl

did the exact same thing a few years back, eventully released them but didnt get round to marking them in some way to see if they stuck around, although they did get a doing from other magpies. they are seriously noisy and hungry, i think i fed the boiled egg but it check online as to whats best. fair play for trying to help them. carl

howdo paul?? i would of thought a tipper truck and small plant trailer would be easier to use. how high is the bed of the truck? the jensen 530 tracked machines seem good dunno how heavy they are exactly around a ton i think. hope you are well. carl

you could try wiring the soleniod direct to the battery, that would bypass the control box and safety switches so you could rule out a problem there, the anti stress wont work so bear that in mind if chipping. i put a coil of wire on the chippers as a back up in case of control box problems.

i tried one because it was cheaper than a silky, but didnt cut as nice as a silky and the scabard broke pretty quick. worth paying for a silky imo.

if your trying to win your own jobs then there a lot of factors at play way before your climbing skill becomes a factor, your manner with clients, company image and if your new to the game then hows your tree knowledge and ability to assess the situation and client and provide the right job spec and the right price?? just my thoughts, hope things pick up for you. carl

cool thanks for all the replies, the reason i ask is we were planting wire rootballs the other day and someone was insisting that the wire and hessian had to be cut, we have planted hundreds of these over the years and have never touched the wire or hessian, and as far as i know they have all done fine, i have also had the pleasure of moving a lot of them at various stages down the line and it has always surprised me just how quickly the wire and hessian breaks down. also if one is using an under ground guy system then a strong solid rootball is essential therefore i would of thought not possible if the wire was removed. as always good to see other views and opinions on the subject. on a side note if there any growers reading this can you please come up with a medium in the rootballs that doesent weigh so much!!!! still surprises me just how bloody heavy they can be!!!!. thanks carl
-
when planting large rootballs wrapped in hessian and a wire cage do people remove the wire or hessian or cut it or just plant it as they got it??? thanks carl
-
a sheet of ply?? bit of and arse to move about but you can spin about without lawn damage, well a 6" machine is fine not sure about the tr8

i just use normal steel rigging ones, i prefer to have locking ones but i guess the ones in the picture are very light so good for tons on your harness.

being seen more easily is plus point for arb work and traveling on a road, cant reallly see any arguments against it to be honest. as for cyclists moaning about driver awareness?!! its kind of hard to be aware of something if you havent seen it,so why not help others to see you. there are so many different types of hi-vis clothing available for work these days comfort shouldnt be a problem. carl

yes he mentioned they where good on another thread. thanks carl
