    I very rarely do anything intricate on big trees. I tried the spider jack, it wasn't for me, I tied VT, didn't like that either. Mainly down to strength, I just couldn't hold my weight that well while self tending, and then I thought it was quite an unsafe way of working, leaving myself open to falling. I am back to what I know, a Prussik. But on big open trees, where there is a lot of climbing over limbs and limb walking, it's a hindrance . If for some reason I had a lot of big reduction or deadwood to do, I would srt and rope wrench, that looks the business. I've never tried it, but it makes sense to me.

    Just ordered a Cat 302.7d. It's the newer model of the 1 I used last year daily. It's the zero turn, I was doing too much thinking so jumped in both feet. Their service was great and I like their salesman. So deal done, hopefully get it Thursday.

    That's what I'm after without the crane.

    I find that frustrating just to watch, everything needs double handled and it's just not doing it right. It's like Splitting logs with an axe, there's more energy wasted picking up the 2 bits that come off the block.

    It would need to be clamped imo

  23. Stephen Blair
    Good stuff, when do you get the new bigger 1?
  24. Stephen Blair
    Why did you sell it?
  25. Stephen Blair
    Cracking little digger! I used a 3 ton Cat a lot last year, I really liked it. The new model is a zero turn and some say not as good without the extra weight at the back. What's your thoughts?
