What I can see happening is the majority of arbs not adopting a system that is obviously gonna be hard to implement on a good percentage of jobs then if accidents do happen the personal insurance will be void

I haven’t seen a decent demonstration on a regular job yet not a big old oak with loads of room maybe a dense hawthorn or a multi stemmed Acer or ash reduction normal everyday stuff where throw bags are useless and fluid movement with one rope is hard enough already

hate topping conifer

hawthorn are a bitch

My mistake vocabulary wrong ... your right .. They are Certs !! .. So by puwer would that be a requirement

Question ... Do I need a polesaw licence to use one even if you've passed chainsaw use on the ground and in the tree ... also is it a legal requirement to have a polesaw licence

Must admit I'm slowing down a bit now.. My back hurts , my knees squeak I've got arthritis in my fingers ... I've gone from three core yacht rope to multi plait using bowline and prusik to prusik loops and then these new fandangled ropes and loops just started on the hitch climber and cambium savers with pulleys and I'm jumping on the spiderjack when it comes out .. Anything to help me speed up a little and climbing easier.. Problem is the more experienced you get the more difficult the jobs you get

Some of the lower stuff could be deer damage maybe .. Squirrel damage seems to me to be on smaller more tender branches

I'm going 54ft

Not a problem here

This thread reminds me of something I really need to do !

Cheers for that lads

Where are the screws I have to take out ... Is it just the two underneath or do I have to remove the handle and most of the plastic chassis and so on to remove what's left of the muffler? No taken the fuel tank off before :-( Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Mines cracked and falling off, is it a big job to replace or can I have a bash one evening , I believe the costs around £30 ?
