    i saw a variable tracked shiesling last week, now that was pretty cool, the guys using it said it was amazing. i think it was 40k worth:scared1:

    what do you mean by ported?is this a customised or off the shelf? i have always ran a 13inch bar on my 026s, wouldnt entertain anything bigger, makes them too slow imo:001_smile:

    i had the 200 on my u1200 great sized chipper and mog for domestics.

    it looks about 45degrees to me, maybe he is 40 foot out on a monster tree, or he has made the pic with his fancy computer gizmos:001_smile:

    my mate swears by timberwolf but hates jensen:001_smile: hey edd why dont you invent a tracked unit that you can swithch between, chipper,dumper,digger. thats where all the cost is. thunderbirds are go:001_smile:

    what about when some numpty has taken the head out a beech, then bottled it and you have to finish the job 20 years late with monster side limbs about 50 feet long, no top line, shuffle shuffle:scared1:

    sorry i thought there were pics of the chipper there, if you want to see some pics pm me. and edd is right, if you want top notch i have never heard a bad word about shiesling, i opted for tp because it was head and shoulders above the junkarri, and it was about 4k cheaper than jenson/greenmech. but i have since used the last 2 and still think tp are better.

    is it like strimmer handles, they are in the new stihl catalogue, have you seen the electric start on the back pack brushcutter, now that is clever.
  20. Stephen Blair
    thats about all they are good for, wasps of the chainsaw world, get an 026 mate:001_tongue:

    another point to make, the more branches your line touches the more the weight is being spread, so if you do have to go well out, bounce it off a few other limbs, takes the weight off what you are on and what you are tied onto:001_smile:
  22. Stephen Blair
    you still get small branches on take downs, great for epicormics. before my gekos i would always stick the silky between the leather straps in my spikes, but with the velcro straps on the gekos it fits on better. i should get some saw pod comission me thinks:001_tongue:

    i have a tp250 for sale mate, good chippers, easy to work,maintain and very well built. 4 years old, hasnt done much, couple of bashes hear and there on the spout and foot plate. pics of it in classifieds on the back of my mog:001_smile:
  24. Stephen Blair
    when putting the second strop/pulley onto the branch do you just lift it up yourself and clip it on. if so it could be pretty tricky with a big limb

    cool, guess what dean will be doing tomorrow.
