Just look at it as a bonus thing that we enjoyed for a few years and now its back the way it was. Seriously if you buy Stihl, what is there to go wrong between Apf visits? I've bashed them about for years up trees, in hoppers of chippers in transit, dropped out of trees and dropped 100 times a day on the ground while wrestling stuff at Chippers, and they keep going. I've got a couple of carcasses I can rob for casings or plasticky stuff. Stihl have been going for 90 years, turned £2.62 billion last year, they know what's best for their business.

A more tree like avatar wouldn't go a miss either:biggrin:

A tough call I bet for the head teacher, trying to keep hundreds of teenagers in line all day, that can't be easy. I think he will of used his best judgement at the time given all the circumstances. It may have been the case that it was best to send 4 well disciplined kids home to change than have an uproar from the noisy ones. The minute the press get a hold of something, I take it with a pinch of salt.

I'm after some attachments for the digger. A selector grab, rake and a mulcher/flail head. Something that will do gorse and light scrub. Advice welcome or should I say needed for what to look out for. I did find this while looking for stuff.

Your putting twice the down force on where it goes over, needs considering on small forks or Limbs.

I reckon they used the ports wrap because that's what they had. It's a simple way of tensioning and locking off .

Are Spiderjacks Only Worthwhile On Big Trees?
Stephen Blair replied to Thom's topic in Rigging and roping
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. -
Cracking jeep!!!!!
