  1. in a word . . . no agree with martyn1 100%, plus one of ours has broken an av rubber mount in a ball ache place way way overhyped
  2. wont be everyone's cup of tea, bu i reckon it looks awesome!
  3. 14month gaurentee sounds good, sure i can abuse them quicker than that and never buy a pair of boots again ordered a pair
  4. trying the new SIP Freedom 1, purley because they're half the price of stretch airs, 5 months in, and they're wearing BETTER than my last pair of stretch airs. i think they look smarter too
  5. As title, does anyone actually know how long will a new saw, from the dealers, last in a box with no use? would anything perish?
  6. Thanks for the great replys! having about 6 slings meant 6 or more branches can be sent down(2 or 3 closebranches can be half hitched by one sling) once all had been sent down, the groundie simply clipped the bunch to the end of my rope, whilst i was re-slinging, he was fixing the branches, simples! with no tag line we just 3-1'd the line and held on, no big weights, if there were more bigger branches like the top, would have put a lowering bollard to put controlable friction in the system. . it worked well though! around 1-1.2m i think, last time i ordered slings i ordered 2 of each length justin sells, they're so handy, and cheap just to add, the branches, where the camera was set at the beginning was on a low fence, the branches were being stacked just over the fence for collection later the day, so just moved a few meters. . . and the wood was just chogged down in 3m lenghts, and cut into 30-40cm rings and left at the base of the tree
  7. Yeah, old biners, old climbing pullys, rigging pullys, so there was about 6 setups ready to be used cheers drew, saved an estimated 1km of dragging +1km return journey, and more enjoyable than clearing a mess!
  8. With no big jobs recently, thought this might be interesting, 2 pine trees speedlined JoshJGP's Channel - YouTube my channel JoshJGP's Channel - YouTube
  9. i use on a weekly basis hiabs from 15meter reach to 23, i think a member here used a 35m a few weeks ago. rent a hiab waggon, and they can deliver it straight to your yard. or chog it down
  10. A large hi-ab would sort them out
  11. can you eat bacon yet huck???
  12. slowly taking an intrest, some shrooms i thought were pretty, yellow ones tasty, from an island ive been working on
  13. I enjoyed it why step below the plunged backcut? i would have thought that would cause the top's step to catch the stem's step tipping the tip of the top foward, where as stepping the top above the plunged backcut nothing would have snagged, maybe making the whole top land flat and avoided damaging the lawn . . . although the damage you made, which some others would worry about looks to me to be about 2minutes with a fork
  14. the full weeks intensive course, theory test and theory training day a few months before and practical test at the end of the week was around 1200, but that was a few years ago, and i think the tests might have changed which equals more money i guess
  15. just wait untill you're 21 like i did (only waited a few months mind) and for the same price as 7.5, get full rigid, be more use to companys that have hiab wagons then, aswell as 7.5'ers
  16. you will need to do either your 7.5tonner or big rigid before full artic or rigid/7.5t + trailer i believe, i went for biggest i could do at 21 with post 97 licence and that was rigid 33?T
  17. The fire service do what they can untill help arrives, a few years ago a tree fell across one of the main roads in Cambridge, by the time we got there the police had closed the road, the fire service were there tackling a 70ft chestnut with an axe. . . funny as it was, they were doing what they could with tools available. if they sat there doing nothing people would still mock them for that its not like they have tree surgery advertised on their trucks, or are competition they wernt doing tree surgery, they were trying to make a tree safe, the emergancy services are there for our safety too
  18. nice one ace! when i was first taught to fell, the guy told me if i had ballistics i wouldnt have respect and think i was invinsible, so fair play!
  19. As far as i know this is still sat there http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/trading-place/14329-bedford-timber-winch-sale.html QL with an RL cab loosly fitted, im back in the uk in september if you can wait Same as tommers last pic, not inc cab i believe
  20. Nice one phil on the multi tasking, rescuing and romancing Hows things going for you anyway mate?
  21. Sooooooo, a few months on, burried it in wood on take downs, crane work, pruning, and its still just ok, its lacking something especially when pruning and you want the revvy'ness you get with the 200, much prefer my 'spare' saw, a MS200t which is only a few months older -so a fair comparison Performance wise its not a better saw when side by side a new MS200t imo
  22. nice stuff
  23. She is so innocent
  24. haha the thing that gets in the way and is never used!
