  1. I think perhaps the picture is deceptive and the guy is only standing on one foot.
  2. The spikes come with the short American style gaffs as standard, and I've found they don't protrude as far as my bashlins, which have a spacer welded on the side of the leg-iron. I found the short American gaffs to gaff out a lot, so have recently changed to the long gaffs, not shown here. I used a contract climber years ago who used the euro gaffs but I thought the long ones were better designed to slip further into the timber rather than tear a strip off. The long gaffs are still just short enough to not stab in the ground when walking around.
  3. Neighbour has been spelled that way since around AD1100. The 'u' has been removed by you guys.
  4. Alright lads, I need some replacement hydraulic oil for the Carlton Stump grinder, which is originally filled with Citgo AW32. I'm getting some automatic transmission fluid to top up the log splitter reservoir, so my question is, can I use the same oil for the grinder or is there a big difference? What's your take on this?
  5. a-ha! just what I was thinking...a good thread to share the knowledge... here's a few off the top of my head... soundcloud Wikipedia youtube (for documentaries) facefook bbc weather
  6. Further investment in the form of a mobile log splitter and new forst chipper to replace the timberwolf. Build pole barn and extend the woodstore by 20%. Extend the house to add dining room and another bedroom. Finish the 10month Isuzu grafter project!
  7. treeworker sell the Austria 2 and 1, the number 2 is my all time favourite harness, and I use the kolibri nowadays. Still use the Austria 2 for leylandii work where i only need a lanyard, it's so light and minimal, and the leg loops are a great design. The kolibri click tried to emulate these leg loops but got them the wrong way around.
  8. These look pretty awesome Glove Ward Anti-Syringe 304540
  9. Off topic, but how do you keep your 3MegaWatt woodburner supplied?

    what does it say on the rivetted plate?
  11. Yellow Pages = waste of money. We always ask where a customer gets our number, and it was NEVER Yellow Pages.
  12. Yeah it's a bit clunky but if you zoom in 4 clicks the trees start to appear. Hover over them for a while and the details appear. You can also add trees yourself, get them verified and the details are added to the database with your name on. cool.
