srt SRT/ddrt rope recommendations please
carlos replied to Carteeni's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
i use 60m of tefelburger Xstatic , it works great on srt with the rope runner, i also use it drt with a lockjack, its super stiff and runs well, the downside is it can be hard to grip with your hands and it doesnt have an eyesplice. most of our treees are small but i still find the longer rope handy on occasion and the excess just stays in the rope bag when not needed. i made my own knee asscender from a chest asscender, there are a few threads on here about making them, pretty straight forward to do. carl -
i dont think the stihl msa 220 is up to woodland work, could you try a small ported saw? or a back handled version of a climbing saw?
-
a quick google says there were 9 billionaires in the uk in 1989 and there are now 177!!! and yet society's key workers are still not being paid enough
-
ive never used on of these , but i rate the rope runner pro if your after and all mechanical srt device
-
iam starting to think we need a dedicated "petty argument" page!! absolutely no agreeing on anything... rather than all these different threads with all the same folk having a go at each other with an ever decreasing lack of humour and respect carl

Weight estimation for level load of Leylandii wood in single cab pickup
carlos replied to briscoe's topic in General chat
is an overloaded vehicle ever/ often a factor in an accident?? ive often thought to myself whats worse a under weight vehicle being driven by a dick or an over weight vehicle being driven cautiously?? in rural ireland weight doesn't seem to be an issue. -
to the OP, i would take the saw into a local mechanic as you have spent a fair bit on parts and have not fixed the problem, i suspect it could be something pretty simple, so doing it yourself may not be the cheapest option. anyway hope you get it sorted, carl

the lead singer from the "specials" has died, great band imo shame RIP

not such an easy thing to do these days though
-
cool sounds like a proper job, i could of done something similar in the first place but i didnt , time , funds , lack of knowledge etc, so i will have to make do, the MVHR principle does seem like a good idea and one can get small wall mounted options or multi room loft units. i thought the loft ones may be able to vent through a roof vent which would be easier than going through the stone wall as its 700mm thick and pot luck whether one finds a big stone! iam going to start with a basic kitchen wall extractor.
-
thanks for the replies, id agree that the proper job would be to remove all the cement render and lime plaster inside and out, but dont really fancy doing that right now and it would be a big job . woodworks did you put in ventilation from the inner part of the house or between the drylinning?
-
we live in old stone cottage that is cement rendered inside and out, it is has a lot of condensation in the corners etc , this is leading to mold patches. i didnt dryline it as there seemed to be so many conflicting opinions on how to do it properly. so iam thinking ventilation... my question is has anyone experience with modern mev systems or heat recovery systems?? i know these are aimed at more modern airtight houses but wondered if they may be of benefit to our house. thanks carl

we pay nearly 40 cent kilowatt for electric at the moment ( if i read the bill right) we dont have gas, so not sure about that. coal is €40 a bag!!! and that is for the compressesed nugget type as apparently you cant get proper house coal anymore, that and trying to ban fires and stoves in houses,it looking great!!!
-
any recommendations? i have seen a few online but dont want to end up with anything too hipsterish as its for a friend. thanks carl
-
we had some root balls delivered recently, christ those things are heavy, there was a triple axle trailer full, the tyres where squished to about 3". some of them weighed about 700/ 800kg each!!! our little digger wouldnt touch them.
-
learnt and laughed loads!! thanks
-
not sure about the word " reduce " in volume!! ive found the volume gradually increases during the day until you have to make the call.... er not going to get this done today ;(
-
cool thanks for the replies, we have a machine on long term hire, we have a small grab for it to help on tree jobs plus we have a ton of large root ball trees to plant with it. its a newish machine so i just wanted to do the right thing for it, is normal bearing grease okish? also are those special lock on grease gun heads good? i always seem to get grease all over myself!! thanks carl
-
are they carbon spikes!!! my mate has that harness and likes it
-
how often would you grease a mini digger( 1.7t) ? thanks carl
-
probably works out cheaper these days!!

carlos replied to Dan F.'s topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
