Interesting findings then ian, i wonder how the spiderjack would react different? Good to see these tests though especially regarding cam damage to the ropes

rope wrench test videos

looking forward to those dan as i run a spiderjack but am really confident in how reactive the sj is in biting the rope -
I have heard ted green saying he has proven its a native and calls it the celtic maple

I know this is competition but its still cool

Nice stunt fell, any lesser tree feller would have moved that tractor, or maybe taken the bucket off:biggrin: . Nice work

I expect he is reffering to nptc which was cs30,36 back then. If it was nptc then technically still "valid" but in the eyes of hse and some insurances you should still be taking refresher course every 3 years for infrequent users and 6 years for frequent users

Good looking job, be interesting to see the butt too. How come you didnt opt for a crane? Also can i add some photos of an old beech i have done some work on?

Had my first real day on it today and also having never had an srt setup was chuffed about the speed of ascent and felt bad for not having a setup sooner. Enjoyed the wrench although a little difficult branch walking back in but on pines wasnt too much of an issue. Was great doing a line of pines jumped across doing three from one anchor, dropped down and went back up the first and jumped to two more. i could have changed over at each if i was on drt but was good practice. also going up to change from srt to drt wasnt an issue so thumbs up so far, just needs practice

How far have you ran/cycled/swam today?
ben lightfoot replied to Christopher Schroeter's topic in General chat
Just finished my second half marathon in 1hr57, happy to be under 2hrs but could have shaved a few more minutes off. -
I tried one once but the pod plus epicormic led to a tantrum and not bothered since
-
Im guessing today was the last day so we can discuss (if not then hold off for tomorrow night) how do you all feel? Im feeling better than last year on the 5837 but my oral was rubbish
-
But your harness is closer to your arm than your leg? i thought this post was sarcasm but now i think your being serious?

I think someone is telling porkies, i would like to see a mid air shot.....great cranes though
-
I have always wondered how difficult it would be to remove the bats as you said the cracks close on removal of the weight. Those teupen are the best tracked mewp going i reckon, nice to not have to climb dodgy trees
-
Interesting job, did you have to do a bat inspection before work?
