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

Cheers

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 :-(

Ecoplugs!

Surely this would work with a bungee

Though ?

Wot we had to look out for is kid chucking a brick in from outside the cones

We had the exenco for years and refused an upgrade to the newly formed greenmech even though a few days before it threw a blade, it came out the shoot like ninja throwing stars embedding into the wooden clad leyland roadrunner

Sometimes when I think a trees not safe to climb ill think of the weather that we've had at the time and weight up has it been under stress .. If it has and there's no signs of horizontal cracks

or crotch movement then it's gonna take my stingy 11 stone , don't get me wrong my ass still twitches but it helps :-)
