  1. cool , would love to do more of that sort of work
  2. well with a qoute of 35k!! id want a chipper a way bigger than 9", how many days are you planning to spend on it.?? check out tomd, s thread in the photo section!!!! bit more like it imo. carl
  3. no just a throw line.
  4. cool looks good, fancy something like that myself, unfortunately its more of a want rather than need... one day.
  5. is that your quoting run around!?? ( the porchse) great mog, crying out for sign writing on that huge white side
  6. great work, how many guys did you have helping? that tractor set up looks like an animal on the right job, thanks for sharing.
  7. ive had two pairs and have been happy with them, tough n comfy and proper leather so you can polish them etc.
  8. looks great, perfect for the rich "one man band" cut n hold n throw into the chipper no groundy required!
  9. thanks for the replies, i think iam leaning towards the cougar blue, well see, not the best time to be buying gear! thanks carl
  10. thanks will try him if not might try treestuff in us. thanks carl
  11. ive narrowed it down to three. 1 cougar blue, sounds good but a bit worried about varying quality? 2 yale kernmaster 11mm, too bouncy? too narrow? plus need a splice and only treestuff seem to sell it with the splice. 3 yale blue tounge, easy to get locally but not so hi vis colours. i climb mainly double rope on a lockjack and a bit of single rope with the rope wrench, our trees are generally under 70ft. help me deside thanks carl
  12. ive used a pantin under the geckos too, works okish, wouldnt dream of drilling into me carbon gecks!
  13. could you of speed lined it?? not being funny just curios. carl
  14. blunting chains!! now thats well out of order !!! seem harsh to dock that much money but then a pisser to lose that much through dopeyness,
  15. thanks for replies, kinda what i thought life span wise, funny tho once you retire them their true strength becomes apparent when you pull over trees, unbog vehicles etc, nice to know what a massive safety factor they have, that said i must still get a new one, cougar blue me thinks:thumbup1: carl
  16. as per title, i know it would be wear dependent just wondering what sort of life span people get from their ropes. thanks carl
  17. thanks.
  18. cheers must get saving
  19. anyone order this from them?? how long did the shipping take and did you have to pay extra duty?? iam shipping to ireland not uk so duty thing could be different. thanks carl
  20. why do you guys want an arb girl, wouldnt it be nice to talk about somthing different when you got home!?
  21. bump, did the op get hold of a saw??? thanks carl
  22. just had a quick flick through it, would be useful to accompany a course or go over with a new trainee, it seemed to just raise points not actually explain anything but maybe its not meant to. carl
  23. what happened to the long haired reg coates???
  24. my thoughts exactly:thumbup1:
  25. sorry gotta disagree on the mk 2 failing because of user error, it was a manufacturing flaw, iam a carefull climber and my mk2 broke in no time, the kit has to withstand some bashes etc whilst in the tree if it doesnt then its not fit for purpose imo, best of luck to those with the mk3 as it is a nice tool just not going to be in my kit bag anymore! carl
