Will do, now you mention it that's where I got my last one. Thanks

Can anyone advise me as to which online shop (uk) is selling Treemotion harness (non lightweight) at a competitive rate? I could just look myself but as there's so many online shops to check I thought one of you guys might be able to save me a few hours and £s. Thanks

I'm sub contracting on a working holiday visa. Just need an ABN, takes a week or so to come once you get here. Customs were a nightmare though. If I was doing it again I wouldn't mention the 'tree' on the parcel description.

Shut up and get back to work!

Thanks for the tips, but I'm not working in the rain (I'm in oz not Halifax, this year anyway). Keep my rope clean, always in a rope bag. Always slow descents, use figure of 8 when possible and use two fingers on the rope to take some friction (don't bother with the wooden thing, it came off years ago) I do however always use a rope saver even on take downs and think that takes it's toll on the cams. Anyway I'm not too fused about having to replace them, I think it's a fantastic piece of kit and if it costs me 50p a day to have it working at it's best then so be it. Thanks anyway guys

Jeanesy as in Dan Jeans? I reckon they should bring out a titanium one

When it stops locking and starts slipping, it goes in the bin. 16 months how often are you climbing on it? Do you use a rope saver?
-
Just curious to know how long your lockjack clutch/cams last? I seem to be burning them out pretty quick. A 12/13mm cam (on a Yale xtc fire rope with rope saver) lasts around 4/5 weeks. I keep my rope as clean as possible and I don't hammer it when descending. Can I get better results on a different rope? Cheers

Thanks very much chaps. All went very smoothly. Good advice and the video made it a lot less daunting. Thanks again. -
Got a huge split in the rubber manifold on my top handle ms 200t. I can't find any tutorial on the web but someone on Arbtalk mentioned it was v easy. Some rough guidance would be great. Thanks

Hello there, I noticed on one of your posts that you sold hand forged froes for £35. I was going to get my dad one as a birthday present. Are you still doing them?
Thanks

I having a problem finding a wastegate for a mitsubishi turbo, off a cummins engine, out of a Vermeer BC1000. I've been told it cant be baught seperatly and may have to buy a new turbo for at least £2,000! The wastegate (blow valve) is clearly detachable and so i cant see why I would have to go to such extreme lengths. If anyone can help in any way, i would be very much greatfull. Thanks Sam

Trees are at Holmfirth near Huddersfield

In need of a little advice please. I may soon be felling 140 trees. 30% Larch, 30% sitka spruce, 30% scots pine and 10% mixed hardwood. DBH ranges from 10" - 30". 50 - 90 feet tall. All nice and straight, seems too good to go for firewood! Can anyone tell me who might be interested in buying the timber in North England? Thanks
