Search Facebook for Sveriges Arboristförbund and Svenska trädföreningen, a few months ago there was an article on one of them of a big alle planting project

Not in Stockholms climate or north of Stockholm, can't comment for the south and the warmer climate there though. Just asked Marie and neither if us can remember working on one or seeing bigger than 6inch dbh Tree species diversity is very limited compared to good old England!

Very cool and nice documentation David

Smmmmoooooooth

Oooohhh that all sounds exaggerated to me skip

Really nice, love the keyed mortise and tennon joints would look great in a pub!

This is a really good quote from member MOG on another thread Originally Posted by MOG cool vid bro, hopefully abit of helpful knowledge and something to think over..... i wont tip tie anything unless i got a winch pretty much. i think its just dodgy and you can get hit very easily by the piece of wood. i use steel bineer 65kn and done some very big pieces with it. if its getting big i just wrap it round the wood twice, so the friction round the wood takes the weight. i think/know rope on rope snaps with heat and friction. Slings are good but usually static and meant for straight pulls not dynamic loading. and when you choke it, haves the strength too. where as the rope is/should be more dynamic, and when tightening round the stem works like a shock absorber. this is just the way i think and my theory, which to me makes sense. kinda the same about using Knots ay, if a bowline can take upto 50% of the rope strength and a splice 90%. surely it break the rope at the knot before the bineer? so less knot and bends the better no? if the logs are huge then and big butty shackle is better. but i still think bineer would be ok, i snatched a 800kg log, with 3 wraps back on to bineer in Oz and was fine. i have only seen 1 or 2 old bent bineers and thats when they have been loaded on the nose. and i think a lower kn rating. some feedback/thoughts would be cool too? everyone different like you say, i got a fair bit experience and when you actually sit down and think about it all makes sense in theory...... and in my case so far touch wood, has worked fine. Mog Personally most of my rigging is running bowline or bowline with crab to choke the piece, followed by a half hitch, or 2 for big chogs, but will use slings for speedlining multiple branches on a rigging plate reasoning is that ive snapped slings before, 1 more item to fail, i think slings are clutter. but when speedlining, having a set of diffrent sized slings are great for attatching many branches to a rigging plate, to, for example, send down a whole whorl of pine branches i did hear about a test done on a tape sling, it had been on a climbers harness for at most 1 year, rated to 25kn, and failed at 600kgs

Awesome job and setup!

I like slings for speed lines and rigging plates but this job no everyone's different which is good!

Nice job I'm a non slinger, I've snapped a few slings but never deformed a steel rigging crab choked after a half hitch, or two for chogs Be an interesting test, cross loading steel crab vs slings of varying sizes and ages

I like the fact it looks like it won't twist the rope like some hitch setups, wonder if it will freeze up like hitches do in snow at -25 . . .

Ensure scabbard is free of debris and in good condition On older zubats the blade cuts through the scabbard overtime, full of debris the saw can get jammed in the scabbard, you naturally want to hold it where the cut plastic of the scabbard is, and when trying to pull them appart this can make a sudden nasty injury

Well according to that link seasoned dry lignum vitae can weigh 1370 kg so when wet and compressed chip, what could that weigh then? I didn't say fact just possibility a from the info in that table I have read that Solid wood has the DENSITY of 1.5 times that of water but not necessarily the weight

This is for dry wood Mass, Weight, Density or Specific Gravity of Wood then think about species, chipp size, density and moisture content could be between 200 kg and 1200 kg possibly

The tabs for skipping to first unread post and the ones to last post next to the last posters name are super long and an empty white box on iPhone but not on laptop, laptops fine

That chip box has gotta be coming on for two years now

A non pro shouldn't be climbing with a saw anyhows You don't need to be qualified to be professional IMO

Fast trac dude, what speed can you legally do on the road?

I think most dealers have common sense and can sus out if you're a pro or not as soon as they start speaking to you, if they're in doubt it's a nice policy to fall back on to decline a sale to you

I followed through on a fart once

Could you not just move the wheels to the centre on an A frame to balance the load a bit better? The lightness of the ladder is a big bonus I'd guess!

Matty do you not find you're lifting all the weight as the wheels are so far at the back? Martin that's great!

Looking at the website the gp gh and gx seem to be slightly different models/styles of construction and within each model is different sizes Why not go have a word with them if they're local

I just cut the front and back off a brown church rack for a 110

Sorry to derail Ross, but Why?
