  1. ok fair enough:001_smile:
  2. to be honest you are asking folks as to whether you have been fair, but as i see it it is impossible to say as you havent given any info on the employee ( new last week or been with you 15yrs? reliable or not?) or the actual emergency, " i need to get home now" could mean very different things for different people. whats done is done , if you thing your in the wrong then apologize. awkward situation for sure. carl
  3. pretty much my thoughts on the matter. id expect my boss and team mates to help me out if the poo hit the fan and iam sure they would expect the same from me, too hard to say without details.
  4. i think petzl are the last people id ask about whether its rated or not for srt!!!!
  5. all over if the rains heavy enough, i should of got on to them but never got round to it and i think to try and return a jacket thats over a year old would be a bit of a P. take. plenty of people love em so maybe i was just unlucky.
  6. would it of been easy to make the call without the picus test, any obvious external signs? good fell btw
  7. my cut and climb leaks, comfy though, wont be buying another! carl
  8. it sure needs it, our 261 has been a pig with the needle bearing, replacing , greasing every day etc!! our old 260 has been thrashed for about 10years never greased the bearing let alone replaced it, cant see how sthil got this so wrong really.. oh well . carl
  9. we use an 8x4 ifor plant with independent ramps for a 6" jensen chipper id imagine the tw would be similar, the trailer seems great, but to be honest ive not tried any others. carl
  10. looks like a neat addition although id imagine you could tip/or drag the chipper easily enough.
  11. yep never make a rope shorter on purpose.... plus i think its a bit better to have a different coloured lanyard carl
  12. cool thanks thats the splice i tried on it, found a fairly clear vid on youtube that helped, as always they made it look a lot easier,( no swearing, blisters tangles in sight!) wont be for climbing just practice or light rigging etc hope this pic uploads alright. thanks carl
  13. whats the correct splicing technique for an eye in cougar blue rope? thanks carl
  14. he doesent state how he did the job ???
  15. it seems the older the rope gets the more load it gets put under!!?? kinda odd really.
  16. thanks, good info , will look into this and change the sprocket if necessary:thumbup1:
  17. whilst shouting down" can i cut it here " every two foot!
  18. ours is 2015 and has a rim sprocket and the needle bearing has gone in next to no time,
  19. everyday god! not even a proper grease point on it like on the huskyies.
  20. took it back to the dealers and got the needle bearing fixed, they said that was the problem, hopefully it will start behaving itself . thanks for your help. carl
  21. how are these saws holding up??? do they have felling sight lines on the casing? carl
  22. i had a look and it did seem too wobbly to me, saws only a couple of months old mind, ill just replace and see. thanks carl
  23. wow quick on the draw guys thanks, yep it does just that, we,ll fit a new one and see if that clears up its idling woes!? thanks carl
  24. hi what are the symptoms when this small roller bearing is worn??? thanks carl
  25. i have the red peltor ones, they are pretty good, had them a few years and ok so far. easy to leave them switched on, and volume can be knocked by high collar jackets. i like them but i havent tried any others? carl
