  4. Thanks Charlie, am i right in my other assumptions? What about 50inch, down to 7?
  5. .404, rollomatic bar, standard saw
  6. Am i right in thinking a larger sprocket will increase chainspeed, but decrease torqueyness? if correct a shorter bar will benifit from a larger sprocket, but a longer bar will benifit from a smaller sprocket yes? What sprocket will suit an 880 best with 36inch bar, what sprocket for 50inch bar? Same question with a wojo style muffler mod?
  7. Dont underestimate the amount of arisings!
  8. Nice Reg, what and why are you using the big shackles for?
  9. Thanks, Its an honest video of my work, i could have edited it out but chose to keep it in, first full crane fell, made it all up as i went along, most importantly i knew exactly what i had done wrong as soon as it happened, it was a learning curve teaching myself

  11. In the past month we have rigged down large pines, Elms, Removed a 35M Elm with a crane, worked at linneaus gardens, straight felled 25m+ spruces, private and commercial jobs, worked on islands where the ony access is by boat, subtle reductions, thins, pollards, panted An 8 meter Birch, we also do the other end of tree work, 2 days hedge cutting (very rare to hedge cut) the odd commune job. had buffet lunches brought for us too! High quality of work (pruning epsecially), speed and safety are possibly the three most important aspects Derek wants, you need all 3 to have a chance of employment! Proffesionalism is highly important, BUT there is always a time and place to have a laugh at work too:thumbup: Some videos [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzVZIe2Yt5I]YouTube - ‪Slide show of tree work‬‏[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xWua6Btkk&feature=related]YouTube - ‪linne trädgård daytree 1‬‏[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYcrrz2cH6E&feature=related]YouTube - ‪Linné trädgård video 2‬‏[/ame] Any Questions ring Derek

  13. Nice one andy, we planted an 8M birch on tuesday with a hiab

  16. Todays jobs for me and new boy, poplar fell, then pine fell, then 4 birch to reduce
  17. Its fine If you get pleasure out of it, and you're neighbours are happy with it, keep it, get an professional arborist in to subtly reduce the tree to propper reduction points as and when it gets too big for you, its surroundings, or too close to the house. In a few years time it may need to be reduced frequently, maybe once a year, maybe once every 2 years, as unfortunatly trees do have a habit of growing! If we keep felling everything because theres a drain in the next county, a house within 100M, leaves on the lawn, urban areas are going to look very dull soon.
  18. Lots of good advice there thanks Never thought of standing in one position so the angles always the same!
  19. bloody hell mate! how many years that ging to take to build?
  20. be a bit more modern Bedford TM 8tonne 4 x 4 with crane ex military | eBay UK

  22. Those of you who can hit a target the size of a dustbin lid 20M away, how do you do it? My throwlining is crap, I normally take a bight, pass through the throwlines bag and hold the loop ive created and the tail, right hand. Tips appreciated!
