On the front is much simpler and where they are meant to be on a Mog, it balances them out. Just driving into a job and you are ready to go, no faffing about getting reversed in and frustration with people who can't guide you back. And it leaves room for other implements that aren't aswell suited on the front. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Looks like a an easy £100 for hours work for a climber from start to finish! A pile of brash with 2 trunks on top and walk away. They can get a tractor and loader in as it's in the countryside.

Glad you got home safe! Hotwheels van needed a good run. Hope you enjoyed the comfy leather(ish) seat:thumbup1:

Ouch! I did similar last year when I a flail slipped off the tail lift and landed on my finger!! I thought I was going to pass out! Mine was a big flappy bit of skin, the spray concealer from the Arbkit sorted it right out, and dickies it up myself as it was flowing like a river! Heal quick

If your a subby, get magnetic ones, or spend £150 ish on basic, name, number , email, we site etc and a tree. Best form of advertising imo.

If there was a formula, how would you apply it up a tree. Would you measure the branch, get out your calculator and do some workings? Just do it over and over again and your brain will eventually be the calculator. Muscle memory I think kicks in at 20,000 repetitions. My first cut on a tree is to see what it's doing that day. It will just come together.

My post count has slowed down by about 90% since becoming a mod! I think that was Steves plan! Get well soon to the OP , :thumbup1:hedge cutters are nasty! I always tell folk to throw it well away or stick it into whatever your falling onto if you take a wobble, it's usually on steps or balancing ladders against a big wobbly privette!

The cs100 will chip any leafy material presented to it, I chipped a clematis that was about 40' long and 10' wide. I pulled it off a big tin roof, inspected for debris, rolled it up like a sausage, cut it into 6' sausages , stuffed it in the chipper then put some big long conifer through with it, hey presto!

My apologies 10 bears, my eyes must be on the blink!! I checked 3 times before posting aswell. Right on track, carry on Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

There was no mention of an employer forcing the OP to do something dangerous. Keep this thread on track, if you wish to start a thread on H and S please do do on the appropriatte forum. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

That's brilliant!! -
Hiab them out in big bundles, you just need a 40 ft Hiab and a long rope, chain, lift it straight up and the branches will come right in, no need to boom in or out. Or Tracked chipper, chip into bulk bags and drab out with chipper, best get a safetrak as they have loads of grunt and brilliant clearance. Or take a digger down, dig a big hole and bury the branches and dress off with all your spare soil. Or just drag them out, get your head down and blitz if, coffee and cakes for good boys who don't complain about it. Digger with grab, pass it out in a few passes.

I've had a swivel on my sequoia for about 4 years, I wouldn't go back . I climb on a prussik so no problems with twisting like Rich said about VT. I've just picked up another 1, so ill be sticking that on so I've 2 on there. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I wonder if the guys who pick up the litter after a football match moan about how much David Beckham gets paid and why isn't he helping with the bags of rubbish:001_rolleyes:

Gutting Geoff!! Hope insurance pay out soon

Jonny I've had my Ldv for nearly 4 years now, she's a battlebus! She was parked up for 3 months , stuck the leads on her, and she hadn't missed a beat since. They are not as comfy or fast as the newer transits, for the money you can't go wrong imo Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Do you mean Utube?

Please find time to make a video of it in action!!
-
And where would you buy such a thing?

Mark, I'm not bothered about what the guys with go pros use to climb, I do my own thing, it works, it's always worked and I'm good at it. I've tried the others, I persivered , I didn't like, I went to what I know. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
