Went and ground out those 12 conifer stumps you helped create last week. That tap on the wall was getting frequent visits for a head under unfortunately that made all dust stick so came home looking like a Cole miner. Way too hot for swinging that rg13. Going to have camel back out tomorrow for this big hedge cutting marathon iv set myself. Hope it's cooler for Thurs when your helping me rig down this chestnut sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Conclusive proof that Ian from It trees loves Timberwolf

Yes, yes, and yes but I'll stick with my quadchip thanks, got led repeaters on the chipper and on the back of the trucks It's a minor point on an otherwise fairly good looking machine. Looks like tw have listened to customers gripes and done something about it. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile. -

That's why the quadchip travels with the hopper forward so there is no overhangs at the back. Don't know what the answer is but I know if I got a roadside inspection in the situation I mentioned I'd get a warning! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile. -

The 1 thing I didn't like was the light's are on the bottom of the hopper and turn with it so if I'm working a call out at evening Time and have the hopper turned onto the verge apart from the truck lights nowt pointing backwards so a higher risk of getting hit and with my clumsy feet kicking the lenses.

That pic is deceptive, where it rests on the 1st branch was 22m, according to laser meshering thing. Luckily didn't have much crown as was between to others and not yet in leaf. Hate pop's! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Ah gotyou, take it your mog was in the danger zone then. As they say do 1 thing everyday that scares you... And hopefully you'll servive. Did a big black pop a few months back that was lent into another, 26m tracked platform and still got a good 10m above me, pwm Paul who owns it bottled out and left me too it nibbling bits off with the pole saw from as far away as I could reach, came to the final bit I thought was holding the whole thing up so little nick's and bang the top comes of and the stem stays exactly where it was typical could have done the lot in much bigger bits. Just shows you never can tell with part failed trees. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Is that Paul as in pwm Paul? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Cuts like that from a platform I never tie the saw on as the consequences could be painful both physically and financially. Used the old gypsy stick from a bucket a few times so I can be just that bit further away but always scary when all that tension is released and bang it all go's crashing away. Any more photos of the whole thing? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Just watch some of Augustus hinckley and Bix vid on YouTube for some innovative camera. Ideas. Time laps I found every 10 gives a good show much more than this and it misses everything. As tree work is 80% getting ready 5% action. And 15% sorting out. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Simply up yes. Anything to save the pull push of prussic or split tail climbing systems even if your only progressing 3ft something that tends easily can only be a energy saving thing. As said before having a small pulley tending the slack has been around in 1 form or another for a long time, think I started doing something similar in 2000 ish but with a small prussic loop and tool clip holding the pulley but was never an efficient system due to get binding nature of the blakes hitch and prussic knot . Then came the vt, knut, etc which changed everything as they opened out when progressed so took a ot less effort to tend. Good to know people are still thinking because without it we'd not progress but il be sticking to my zz till something better comes along. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

In your 1st pictures I take it both cheeks of the pully are held by the clip, if so how can you detach your rope to re anchor when climbing? Hitch climber on a orig system or just go full on and get a zigzag, check out some good threads on that on here. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

If my 160 is anything to go by it would be the ideal chipper for behind my truck and the sort of work I get. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
