3 positions and just 1 limb got the better of me and my 560/silky combo so the gypsie stick had to come out to get it clear of the BT line in little bits. Then stelth climbed to get some neat finishing cuts I just couldnt get close enough in to do because of the spread over a neighbour garden, Always the way! Was happy with the result

Went very well bud, twas 1 of those trees that could easily have been climbed on a perfect day like today but if it was wet it'd be a pig of a climb up and down shaping and reducing the upper tips so the mewp just made for a present day in the winter sun. Good to see the sawpod tshirt is fitting nicely now ;-)

It's worth it, got 2 for vehicles and might get a 3rd at end of tax year in the backpack for taking onto site when there is a big walk in and leave 1 of these in the yard. Fits nicely behind drivers seat in both landys or rb44 so not too bigger box really.

https://honeybros.com/Item/Forestry_Care_Emergency_First_Aid_Kit Fairly good kit with some very useful extras ontop of your normal parafanalia.

Like I said, like a landy :-P http://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/index.php/Sam_Vimes_Theory_of_Economic_Injustice Someone else posted this link yesterday which just about sums it up. Think as with all machines it depends on amount of use and length of time you intend to keep it and how long it'll take before its paid itself back, some may hav covered the purchase cost and be in cleared proffit after 6month some 6years just depends on your business model and availability of contracts.

Sounds to me like your over half way towards a good career with this sort of mindset towards gear and quals
-
Take my grandfather's advice - If you need it get the best you can afford at the time. If you want it save till you can afford the best available at the time and it'll last you longer and cost you less in the long run. If you can do your course and get a chance to use some different gear before getting your own it'll help you decide what you like in brands, size etc. Good luck with it all and post your progress and don't be shy to ask, there a lot on here willing to give good advice.

Did you have to declare any monetary insensitive for your vote ;-) Lovely looking town hall! Hate jobs like that where you've worked out a price it's been accepted but still can't get on with it because it down to committee to decide if they can actually pay you, normally parish council with me..

Try garath at arbfortraining in layburn, we did ours with him a month or so ago and was a good few days.

Overrunning jobs more likely;-)

Dam you, you'll have me selling the children to science to pay for this soon.......

Ah yes, fantasy now reajusted Thankyou Mr Blair for pointing out the floor in my dream machine ;-)

Wednesdays but better late than never Rather compromised ash tree with a lot of very brittle deadwood over the building which had to be cut and chuck then rig the timber. Was hardly worth chipping most of the branchwood as it smashed up so much on hitting the floor.

Ok not who I was thinking of...
-
Cheers guy's. All in good time Stephen, u1650 front mounted chipper and a crane on the back with a high side trailer behind, dream setup! But for now this'll do till I pay off the landy mewp... It's amazing what this thing will pull especially when it's got the trailer on, just need some puncture proof tyres on it ;-)

Nice to see the job from the other end of the roap for a change Who's the song by, voice is fermilier but can't place it

Iron Horse Sensative Thinning Job: A little job from earlier in the year, Nice to look back and see some sunshine

That's strange Paul, exact same platform I had on Wednesday for a gannaderma infested ash tree. That mog is a handy bit of kit!
-
Ah now it kinda makes sortof sensish.. Will pm you t answer.

Was one of those days where I just needed to climb something. Shame it's got the big G and will eventually succumb to gravity like some other giants in that area.
-
ZigZag recriational climb: Have a look at this vid I did last spring and you'll see the lot in action.
-
Not got any picks but done some video I hope to get edited together soon and onto youtube. It's so quick for setting slings and even choking around larger timber.

Don't think the groundy was a real person, more like a manican judging by the way a quite small branch flicked it to the side right at the end of the slomo clip. Imo - setup If not very nasty and shows why it should be left to those who have had training!
