  1. Really? Care to give examples, or what the typical uk arb crew needs?
  2. Nice one dan, defiantly captured tree work in autumn, worthy winner!
  3. Before arbtalk existed and one with acacia Looked a nice job to do
  4. 1971 S11A landy, stihl 023, free willans harness, carabiner I found-steel screwgate, and a tow rope as a safety line, loppers, bow saw, chaps and dealer boots
  5. Haha, what happened to the wood?
  6. Nice job, I'd love to fell another welly, not really their climate here! Is that how you spell Edward (Edaward)?
  7. Like the redirect pulley attachment, clever!
  8. That's a much clearer video! Great job there
  9. Best edit of quotation ever!!!
  10. 6.5ton
  11. Don't sharpen the spikes to a different angle. stay topside of a lean as much as possible
  12. Cool:thumbup1:
  13. Great tree for a crane! I have some negative sounding questions but they're not supposed to be negative, genuinely interested Are you deliberately setting up the lift for the branches to move away from you as soon as the last cut releases the section? Do you/why do you seem to prefer doing the top cut first? I ask this as p prefer the opposite! In my mind I like to do the under cutfirst so once the saw is out, the weight can be lowered so te cut almost closes, then too cut in at an angle untill it is adequately stepped, saw out, reposition if needed, then signal for the lift Sometimes it looked like the second climber was in a bit of a dodgy area, or is this camera angle? Thanks
  14. Better than a transit then! Interesting prices Pete, what about propper lorrys, like. 7.5t iveco euro cargo tipper, what's that new? When I eventually return to the uk, and if I needed a chip/log truck it'd be a hgv, as its same with secondhand vehicles/prices I've noticed.
  15. Personally i think friction hitches days are short lived HSE wise, all it will take it is one person falling after climbing on an over worn hitch rope failing for HSE to look at what else is on the market. Think about it, try explaining to someone not in the industry, that you trust youre life in an 8mm bit of rope that you rub and deteriorate its condition everytime you move ...
  16. No offence but that's a **** idea Buy a mattock and save replacing bars, sprockets and saws as often
  17. Nice rich. What was the reason for he crane? Speed? What dia will the chipper take?
  18. Niftysteve fitted this burner to my mums new place. The hobbit, 4kw, biggest stove available to fit the gap already there. That will need small logs. If woodburners are about efficiency, what would be the point in having a big burner in a small room???
  19. I'll pre order one please Mark
  20. Very nice!
  21. Nice fell into a field adam
  22. Steamy autumn forest
