    I have heard that ratchet straps are supposed to be hooked on the hook part and not linked through the hook if that makes sense as this can lead to the ratchet hook splitting. see the picture of original post if that makes sense.

    I find the marlow stuff is not too bad although i need to trim the most used end off mine as its wearing through and i know she is gonna give in just when i need it. It does occasionally knot up but then that might be down to poor throwline management despite using a cube

    Try looking on the sprocket although this is a pain if its still a husky chain it should read on the depth gauge as .325 or if an oregon chain then just 25. And just read the above post and i thought i was being clever

  18. ben lightfoot

  20. ben lightfoot
    Im off to herefordshire for the weekend and looks like im allowed to go to an arboretum (woo hoo:thumbup:). Last time i was up that way i went to arley but a bit of a travel so has anyone been to queenswood arboretum between leominster and hereford? or know of any others worth doing? Cheers

    It would seem its like the reverse on when putting a cambium saver up with a throw line check out treeclimbers companion if you have one and then just reverse the procedure if your unfamiliar with it
  23. ben lightfoot
    hmmm discovery 4 thats got to be near on £40,000 worth of motor and yet they are gonna moan about price, maybe you could do a Top Gear test and see if their D4 can drive over 6 loads of chip and artic load of wood at the end of their drive that could build some revenue lol
  24. ben lightfoot
    I kind of want to thank you for starting this thread i have always assumed them being a bit of an expensive cambium saver but having followed this thread and points of view and watching the video i think its a pretty good idea (still expensive mind). Might be a treat at some point
  25. ben lightfoot
    I have the same problem with mine, im gonna have the thing apart tomorrow thanks for the potential solution
