    I think hse says that 10mm climbing line is the smallest diameter and 8mm friction cord im only making reference from the cs38 schedule

    Nice one jammy, was it done just with a saw or any other smaller tools?

    Schedule of rates really only work for highway works as generally the drag doesn't change. Company i used to work for based there work on dbh so 0-15 16-30 31-45 etc and then your price per tree dependant on works. Sometimes you will win and sometimes you lose though thats the problem

    Hi spud do you have a rough idea on how much it would cost to do your magic on a 357xp im guessing porting etc
  6. ben lightfoot
    Not doubting but when i first read spikes i thought they would be 6inch or summit. interesting to see
  7. ben lightfoot
    Stupid question but do they really make that much difference? well guess they do otherwise you wouldn't do it but can you feel a difference in the machine?

    So its looking to be the year of the toe spikes, I need a few pics if anyone has some to give me a bit of an idea and any advice on problems you encountered ( I dont have the stamina to hop to the top like mr flatters). Cheers all

    Have had a play with the 041 and played with some screws getting easier to start, reckon its been stood for a while. want to get a couple of tanks through it to get things running again could be a strip down as might have a slight fuel pipe leak on to the carb also the ht lead where it caps over the spark plug is heavily worn so a replacement needed. enjoying having a project though
  15. ben lightfoot
    Thanks for that will have a play tomorrow
  16. ben lightfoot
    If this can be answered simply then would really appreciate it, so whats the difference between the low screw and idle screw on carb? tried to fire up the 041 and only starts on half throttle and dies underload so needs a little fine tuning as i restored it to factory settings, any input greatly appreciated especially regarding my first question, cheers

    so the age of the saw is irrelavant because the oil quality is better? cheers spud

    My birthday present from some mates, so chuffed but wondering what fuel mix ratio you guys would run 50:1 or closer to 25:1? cheers

    im gonna throw one out there and say willow just because the way the bark is peeling, any advances?
  21. ben lightfoot
    Gristwood and toms are local to you and this would give you some great experience as they have some impressive kit but on the flip side you will soon learn about contractor rates and speed of climbing etc. Seeing some "arb approved" work its not always what arb approved is cracked up to be if you know what i mean and this isn't aimed at g&t by the way

    First 2 from a douglas looking over at the cedar and then the cedar looking back over at the douglas think we measured it to be about 120 foot

    I saw a 555 on a training course the other week which didn't seem too bad althought lacked the zing of the 560. cant wait for the 550 though, i'm tempted to retire the 357
  24. ben lightfoot
    i reckon the chogging down would have finished about the same time when the last bit of that mess went through the chipper lol
  25. ben lightfoot
