cheers stevie, never really done small reductions before in the uk, really enjoying them though, not having an 020 hanging off my belt, no helmet:001_rolleyes: and catching the rays whilst running round the tree. will have to get a new blade for the silky at this rate though

thismorning i woke up to a beautifull sunrise, blue skys and the morning sun burning off the nights dew drove 5 min to the worksite, a rather nice house with big oaks in the grounds, and at the waters edge, surroundings- spot the 020 mr will up an ash a little bat popped out of here, flew off before i got the camera had morning coffe out on a jetty at the waters edge this afternoons oak prune, supposed to be crown clean, and 50% thin, the clients wanted more evening light, so i decided a crownclean, and reduction would be more benifical to them. quite pleased with the result 1 before and a load of after shots about 2.5 hours with the silky, no guidance now just need a nice blonde swedish girl to give me a lapdance to round the day off nicely

cheers for the link mark!

they look good, although i knów the bluryness is to capture the speed, i think it looks better when the backrounds blurred, not the subject, like this pic 10_wm_01cas - 20100501_queens_0370

the boss here has just got a new transit connect 1.8(?)turbo diesel, fully loaded (air con, heated seats, engine warmer ect) it was about 5K cheaper than the vw caddy alternative. tows a fair weight, super economical, nippy, comfy, not too flash, looks the part sign written, plenty of space for kit. very good little van!

she was absoutly stunning dean, i mean properely beautifull, perfect, THATS the reason we're going back! i just couldnt resist taking a sneaky pic:001_tongue: tom, i couldnt agree more, hoping to travel and cut more and more over the next few years:001_cool:

the trucks unladen weight arent 5 tonnes, the gross vehicle weight is either a down rated/plated 3.5tonnes (suitable for all licence holders) or the full 5.5 tonnes(like it sounds mateys geting), which need either a pre97 licence or 7.5tonne+licence to drive definatly looking foward to the pics! sounds like a dream arb vehicle
-
awesome!!! lucky you mare, no wonder the counculs are penny pinching:001_tongue: thought it was 24 foward gears 4 reverse though?

no worries about interupting, youre interuption has made all the diffrence to my views of the product/system could you keep the anchor points as tc had, but use a craning/redirect pulley near the butt??? could be easier for multiple resetting, whilst giving the controll off the butt you demonstrated on the beech??? then if the redirect pulley could be released, the groundsmen would have the advantages of the higer anchor-for pulling the lowered limb away from the tree, e,g fence near trunk. could that be a possibility?
-
thanks for the reply tc,watching the vids again, i think why i couldnt see the benifits on youre vid, was because it seems like the butt pulley rope was high up with the tip pully perhaps? away from the butt?? which LOOKS like it decreased the ammount of control, whereas reg's vid in comparison, the beech branches are controlled much more because the butt pulley is close to the butt tie off point. youre opinion please? if you were to do the cedar again, would you do it diffrently? would you take off whole limbs to the trunk, if you had the butt pulley close to the butt, like how reg does in his vid? this is why discussions good! i can now appreciate how 2 ropes, with 2 pulleys speeds up the job, through lowering off bigger pieces, with more control
-
ok, now i can visualise the advantages, whereas before i couldnt see the advantages over the traditional techniques, thanks for the link from 2.48 its impressive the ammount of control you can acheive from the butt pulley being so close, and the 2 line system, im guessing the lines were pre tensioned with the lever? what weight can it lift? or is its primary role to tension? like i said above, its good to try new stuff out before its really needed, im still intrested in the users views, ease of use and experiences (people like TC or myself) as opposed to the manufacture/designers of new products (no offence reg, but you obviously know it inside out!)

read regs responce 1st!
-
nice one. all go smoothly?
-
to test it out fair enough, but that looked painfully slow. maybe if the top pully points were diffrent, and away from the main stem it could have an advantage. but looks like any of those limbs could have been lowered off flat with a capstan and cradle technique, or just capstan, or cut n chuck but good to test things out before its needed how do you reckon it will speed things up or help on some BIG limbs?

no clear winner, but about 60million loosers

HAHA i made the news! when i came here (sweden) for a week a month or so ago, it was when the british airway cabin crew strikes were on, i was interviewed, theyve quoted me on the bbc news website! BBC News - Government 'weakness' encourages strikes, Cameron says Heathrow passenger Josh Philpotts said: "I think the strikers are the ones in the wrong. I just think that in a recession they should be grateful for a job."

congrats peter and louisa
