i think stevie wants to know about actual companys, the company i worked for in the uk Acacia tree súrgery ltd has been going for close to 30 years now, before that it was called East anglian and metropolitan tree surgery i think, owned by the father, he had 2 boys stuart and paul cole (both now in their 60's), he handed the buisness down to them, they split it and set up 2 rival cambridge based companys. . both still going strong heres a bit lifted off the website Welcome to Acacia Tree Surgery, the leading Cambridge-based company of tree care specialists. Established for over 25 years and covering four family generations to give 100 years experience in arboriculture. to give the 4generations thing a bit of thought, it must have been stuart cole's grand father who first started it, as one of his daughters works on the admin side there we go, 4 generations/100+ years

i used + drove a long wheelbase merc 7.5, swb iveco 7.5, and an 18tonner iveco tipper with hiab, the merc was rubbish, the swb iveco was great, fill the box to the roof and it still drove well, nice trucks to drive and very manourevable. the 18tonner was great, normally the groundy would drive the 7.5 iveco for chip, and id have the hiab for cord, but occasionally we'd put a half length box on the hiab, chip on then load cord on the back with the grab, a great setup especially for distance work!

no, the not gripping thing, is all to do with they way you tie the vt, if like myself you like it to 'self tend' where as you pull up on the rope above the hitch, the slack falls through the hitch under the ropes tails own weight, the vt is tied as (eg) mys pic shows, tieing it this way, you cant just let go and be sure it will 'catch' you, you need to etither hold the hitch and rope as you lower youre weight on to the syster, or stretch the system up to grip. you can however tie it similar to a distel, where self tending doesnt really happen, but it will always grab (if i were to wrap one of the legs over the other leg on my system, it would alyays catch, but wouldnt self tend)

it does howevr, become second nature to just give it a quick grab with youre hand, you dont need to even look:001_smile:

look foward to meeting you then!
-
nice tom how long a walk to the beach?
-
yep, ART ropeguide get youreself down to the F R Jones show this friday and/or saturday in kent, come and have a play on the modern systems and see how you get on with them
-
hitch climbers a great step foward although can take some getting used to, around a week id guess. benifits are more ergonimical climbing, smoother decents, faster climbing too have you got a ropeguide? its a cambium saver, which has a pulley for the rope to go over, eliminating almost all friction, well worth trying

nice landy! oh, and nice jobs too:blushing:
