  1. cool, i'll try them out tommorrow, cheers for that! any other tips? i havent yet experienced it crushing my hips like others and my collegues have mentioned, that may be because i like the back support on harnesses very low compared to most, below the belt line typically. yeah i did find it slips down a little, especially if i diddnt put the lanyard ring back on the caritool, or rest the lanyard in the caritool, and just had it hanging off the red ring. thats the one fault ive found so far-i cant easily tighten the harness whilst sitting in it, the treemagic í could just pull tight when hanging bigger saws off it
  2. lower side D's?? guessing the darker green loops where the bridge ties in? i havent but will definatly, its definatly a comfy harness, after nearly 3 years of my old one its going to take a bit of time to adjust to something new! liking youre tip on the caritools either side for the saws by the way:thumbup1: although 90% of the time im still using just the left one, and the right is for whoopie sling and pully when chunking down, handy little things!
  3. Tobias, the tree was in Stocksund, kaptanvägen i think the road was, dont know the insurance company but derek might Peter, the tree motions ok, its a bit of getting used too something diffrent but only been felling with it, need to move the caritools and use that string stuff which came with it. havent done any prunes in it yet which is where i think it will shine. really liking the imori rope now its bedding in. type As comming next week thank god! beaty swallox more like monsoon, 33c again today cheerd david and tommy, and mark, i thought youd like thisone, even a blind man would be able to see a bits come off:001_tongue:
  4. tack sa mycka stevie, rob och old snake david, the customer was over the moon with the whole job, safety was his no.1 priority, and trusted our/my advise after a quick inspection of the other limbs 100% . . . and insurance company agreed to pay for all the work over the phone! imo that was the best option for the tree . . . a fell would sure have been fun, but such a magnificent structure should be saved. reduction would just have looked daft. i hope it survives for a while. what age would you place it at factoring in its growing conditions??
  5. yeah it was a fair sized tree, was a bit dissapointed when i got in and uploaded the pics, in the pics it doesnt look nearly as grand as it is, be intrested to know how old she is. hope it survives for a few years:001_smile: i dont have bedposts mate . . . . just a pile of sawdust on the floor:001_tt2:
  6. been real warm thisweek, around 27c by 7.30, rising to 34c, then still 27c 930pm! almost too hot for type c's. working on this old girl today, been a pleasure to work on, 99%roped off because of fence, hedge, wire, well, carport ect the top blew out, flipped and landed on the house, with another branch hanging in the wind, climbed down the lodged limb swaying, nibbling little bits off, crane lifted the other limb off the house, akward to do at times as no center, my rope was about 6m from the new top, so guestimate the tree to 25m, maybe touching 30 before the damage. inspected another limb, found a 9inch hole i could get my arm in and a 4ft stick, so suggested pollarding pictures dont do it justice im afraid:001_huh: and monkeyd should be proud, youre big words finally got used:thumbup: convinced the boss and customer to retain the large split decayed stem for biodiversity, spot the Karabina resting on it. then pics of a sunrise, and me with a good christian girl

  19. cool! what about that style backround but the ARBTALK letters in arbtalk red?
  20. haha, yep you know the sort, DW a DED Elm, reduce by no more than 5%, Lift crown ONLY (despite thigh sized DW over footpath) computer drawn maps that might as well have been of the moon, numbers, tags, spec, species which dont correlate with each other yet the hands on guys you can phone up, they listen and take youre advise and judgement on problems and trust you without getting high and mighty!
  21. one bit of friendly advise is for most of the tree guys i know, myself included, is theres nothing worse than a tree officer or consultant with no hands on experience . . . appart from being asked to do rediclious things, spending time climbing all over diffrent trees day in day out you spot and learn things books and courses just cant teach. out of all the tree officers and consultants i knew and met, the ones who had 'served their time' getting their hands dirty had the best rapport with the guys, the others were almost hated!
