Cool, is there more than one ring on some strops? Could you set it up like a ropeguide/pulley saver so its retrievable? If you could that would be fantastic

I use one, does have its limits, its bulky, not good on dead trees (used it on a slight back leaning dying/dead spruce, just ended up popping it up off the hinge resulting in te tree going backwards) But very effective once you use it a bit Those prices are a bit steep -
Awesome thank you Topping down strop-http://www.landmarktrading.co.uk/arborist-equipment/lowering-equipment/lowering-strops/topping-down-strop.asp

Can you post some pics of the rings in the slings please? Looks similar to old skool topping down strops

That was some great rigging in the latter half of the vid!

I worked with a guy who used them, he got on really well with it, and the saw after he used the guide would cut more aggressively than a new chain. I tried it but not for me
-
cheers the tops that came out were about 3-4m long give or take, so height reduction was around 3m on most
-
Birch reductions from today Bit of an urban myth (i think) over here that birches cant be pruned or reduced??? Thoughts? 5 reduced, 3 pruned and a pine pruned today, about 5 hours climbing time, half an hour swearing at the throwline some pictures are of the same tree from different views Reductions: the Pine prune and 2 of the 3 Birchs pruned

Have you brought it Adam? I saw what it made on eBay and was a bit shocked, but after my 560 broke down badly for the fourth time in as many months I understand why you paid a fair wack for it!

Aspen straight from the pump into the combi cans

Unlimited within reason Cheers Steve

What sort of weights would you be confident dropping onto that?
-
That's pretty much what I do. But have been asked for a static rope or suitable rope to compliment a new speedline setup
-
Recommendations please Or what "normal" rigging rope is good on speedlines

I prefer my husky technical extreme type a over my pfanner stretch airs type a

Do you have a uk or French licence? How does it work with insurance when you pick it up to drive it over? Do you plan on registering it in France with French plates?

Worked in -30, heavy snow Ropes and hitches freeze solid, carabiners freeze, skin sticks to metal, trees can be very brittle The novelty soon wears off I know of company's that go home at -25

The chains not tight, mine does that sluggish pickup if cold, or if not used for a few minutes requires 4-6 blips of the throttle to get it going, once hot its ok. unfortunatly the waiting for pickup has made me close to throwing the worst pro saw stihll have ever made out the tree. thankfully i have my first 020 rebuilt by spud, 2 spares, and had purchased one of the last 200's when in mainstream circulation/stock
-
Yeah I do on prunes, I there's any relatively long assents I pair the pantin up with a double hand assender with short strop to harness bridge

I've only used mini loaders, ferrari, avant and giant, artic steer not skid. They're a fantastic tool on the right job! Normally use the mick grab (below) as you can't grab brash with just the pallet forks, and logs ect dont fall off, if you're carefull on flat ground you can take up with it too
-
I've noticed it I notice it more with the HD2 filter fitted (which are awesome btw) Don't see it as a problem tbh
-
The best would to have a dedicated saw on it permantly. But then for that cost I'd be tempted to look at one of those little motorised capstan winches
-
Dave, I diddnt want to risk damaging the pump as not a dedicated saw, saws were a 441 and jonsred, so both attachments were used
