  2. Hey Ben the hitch you used when I worked with you was the same as Regs . I'm sure of that . Whats made you change as it seemed to work really well ? Ooh just noticed its your 666 th post .
  3. PM Sent . Hows things with you Ben ?
  4. Never really needed one , well until now . Is it a case of once bought it would change my views on rigging ? Could it really help else where ?
  5. Standard with the GRCS tell me about it . I was thinking of tensioning the said limb and lifting out of the target area with a hand winch only in small pieces 80 kg max .Then also having a line attached to The portawrap for added security .
  6. I just need to get all the slack out the lowering line . Then use a tag line . We got rubbish DZ .
  7. Love it . I thought of that today
  8. Cool I might even try it on a takedown or two
  9. As title says . Me and another arbtalk member are currently removing a large ash tree . The last two limbs are basically straight out from the trunk. The anchor point is as high as we could get it. Just under the limbs there is a garage / sheds and a caravan ? Now i'm thinking of using a tirfor or a large braked hand winch so when timber is cut it can be then lifted out of the danger zone ie targets below . I,m thinking of tip roping then pulling up with the winch . Your thoughts please .
  10. We had an 18hp Briggs and Stratton fitted to our old 186 Vermeer stumpy. It ran great for years with regular servicing . Until some muppet decided to mess with the governor spring . Granted it was more powerful but died within 2 weeks . All good if looked after
  11. Excellent so theres hope for me yet . you sound like you got OCD ha ha ha . No music no work
  12. I like it RR
  13. Cool huck Ive been listening to Mr Cash and Pink at the moment . To be honest I thought a lot of people would shoot me down for this . What with all the Health and safety at the moment . Deffo for the more experienced
  14. Yeah I've kept the volume down . Sure does help on the most horrid jobs ha ha ha thumbup:
  15. I have recently taken to listening to my Ipod when pruning . I find it nice and relaxing well depending on the tunes . I would never use it on a takedown . Surely I,m not the only one ?
  16. We do lots of pruning this time of year . Lots of Golf course work
  17. Come on what you broke ? Combined Tree Services is on the button .
  18. A tarp like this ?
  19. Cheers much obliged
  20. Quick thread derail . Crowborough . I stayed there in the old army barracks for two weeks back in the late 80s . Anyone know if its still there .
  21. Yeah as above ranger / mazda . My friend had one on a T plate and it had the head gasket go at 98k . Although to be fair he had worked the poor thing . He always commented on how nice it was to drive . After it was fixed it did another 16k then he sold it . Only to buy another
  22. Yeah there optional at a slight price increase . I thought two would be cool . Oh and the bags are detachable so can be cleaned . And they also come with a brolley holder . Now that was about the time I thought they'd be good for fishing
  23. I was looking at some large capacity black waterproof shopping trolleys the other day . Like the OAPs have £17 each .
  24. A wiseman indeedy
