I have driven a mog with a front loader, you might not think its Christmas when its been fitted

Band strapping machines, you need the banding and the metal clamps

The guys on the ground held the rope fast, it put a fair old bend in the stem before giving up what was an uneven fight with the lack of a pulley and all. When the rope let go the stem whipped the poor bugger like a top, his saw lanyard was a nice long one and allowed the saw to get maximum acceleration before it bashed him in the ribs (twice) All in all badly planned, under equipped and badly executed, its a great example in how quickly you can het out of your depth in tree work Hope the poor bugger was OK

If its not protected its fair game to protect If its not protected its fair game to fell -
If you are short for time and a TPO is imminent ring barking makes the TPO moot because the tree was dead before it was made.
-
But have a care that there is a break away in the system. If the bar pinches in the wood you don't want the saw and a chunk of timber hanging off your rope and anchor point.

Because they are representing the interests of their client, contractors aren't there to dob the client in, they are there to provide a service. The client wants the trees gone and the LA haven't yet served the TPO, there isn't time to fell the trees before an order is served but you cant serve an order on a dead tree so ring barking it is. If the planners had done their jobs better, ring barking the trees would have been illegal and probably wouldn't have happened. This is just the battle that developers have with planners, it only takes one or two enthusiastic tree huggers to get the entire planning system a bad name. Many developers are wary of tree issues because they can stand in the way of building and building is what they do.

Nope, put the discounted price in then bring it up to retail with admin and handling charges.

I have this type on my ifor Can't fault them Pair of 12v Square Rear LED Trailer Lights *3 YEAR WNTY* Stop/Tail/Indicator | eBay I also fitted some to a mates trailer and he still owes me for the lights...you know who you are......
-
That's the one:thumbup1:
-
A ballast resistor in the trailer circuit would sort that
-
I think they have a typo it should read Cack not Dack

I used to run the kids tree at the ISA climbing events. My advice would be,........... don't do that, its a lot of work.
-
This is very true, back in the day if you wanted a top handle saw it pretty much had to be the 020, if you were buying one saw from Stihl it made sense to get all your others at the same shop. I grew up on Stihl and but for this policy wouldn't have changed brands. I am predominantly Husky now I realise that I am one person in a small sector of the chainsaw market but I think there are a lot of one persons.

Good job
-
They showed the remains of the roots on the news report this morning, there wasn't a lot left from what I could see. Looked typical for meripilus. That's not a diagnosis but something had definitely been doing bad things to the roots.
-
You are probably right, its even made the pressure in the jockey wheel low
-
The 222 is quite long in the tooth now, there are plenty of clapped out examples but good ones are still out there.
-
I think you need to stop comparing one companies business practices with another. Just accept that what Petzl does is what Petzl does.
-
Anything you have modified is food for greasy lawyers. The court will decide based upon the evidence provided and the burden of proof would be on you to demonstrate that the rope you used was as suitable as the one the manufacturer provided. That's going to take some doing. And the bit in bold is putting words in my mouth and you need to stop doing that. I said nothing of the kind and throwing words like illegal and suicidal in is just unnecessary emotive rhetoric.
-
Don't do it, he will have the franchise police down on you, the seller will get banned and you will go to prison........... Forever
-
Absolutely, I have run my Grillon with all sorts of rope but I did so knowing that if it went wrong I would have no come back on the manufacturer because I was using the device outside its CE mark.
-
Definitely not when the highways agency get their tape measure out and charge for damage to the road surface:001_rolleyes: Not like they would struggle to find where you went.
-
WTF? Just in from the pub perhaps?
-
Its a Petzl thing, its what they do. As a business decision it makes sense to have the device and rope as a unit. It takes the variation an inappropriate rope would bring, out of the equation.
