some geneal tree pics heavy birch reduction was for line clearance specs

Some Saturday Ash milling for a mate

What vid are you watching out of interest? Tommy done this thread for me for whipping http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/splicing-forum/50621-pictures-josh.html

I reckon stevies 4x4 iveco would be the perfect vehicle-built to a heavier spec, comfortable yet tough interior, nice to drive if anything like its 2wd brother

Anything of little interest, nothing too exciting please

Tell us more Michael, please

That something to do with failing to submit a return in on time, new fines for this tax year or last, I forget-I read the rules for the then forth coming year but then went fully into the Swedish tax system

Sorry that should be carburettors, not exhausts

Rumour here in sweden is April, but a tree company who has been testing them for over 2 years, has said husky are changing or modifying the exhaust, so sounds like its still being developed!

Hopefully not another saw full of electrics! I wonder if old generation saws that run alkalyte petrol, meet the new generation emission guidelines?

What risk assessment forms?!

You don't need all the during stump grinding pics at the start of the grinding section, its just confusing. how about some captions in the rest if it?

Have you owned both?

Brilliant video vid rich! Had a go before Christmas

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 . . .
