Not sure if I have spelt that right or not (distell) Wondering if anyone has a picture of a distell and micro pulley set up? I'm looking to change my set-up a bit and am struggling to work out how to tie the distell friction hitch.. Tried a VT already and couldn't really get on with it but have been recommended to try the distell. Has anyone else got any beads of light to throw at this?

Have had the same thing here... a few times...

I've put a load of pictures up on my Facebook page for all to see.. Matthew O'Brien's Photos - Carve Carrbridge 2009 | Facebook

LOL they are certainly that alright. If the shire's are too big, I would say that the Suffolk Punch would be immense as if you are relating a Shire to an oil tanker, then the punch has to be a super-tanker!!
-
Deffinatley not Suffolk Punch..... closer to clydesdale than the suffolk.. I see the ardennes is mentioned already though. Has anyone used shires at all?

Beale is a good option, or the tachyon

Please..... Not in public!!

Climber in Exeter (network rail)
Highland Forestry replied to highclimber&timberfallers's topic in Employment
Give AllyW a shout.... he may well be interested in the work.. -
Now there is an idea!!

I want to buy one of these.... I love the fact that it has two straps.... more stability. Have sent a PM asking some questions but no reply I'd just like to know where it was CE marked, and to what spec and also, does it have a EN number or a prEN and if so, what is the MBS. If it can satisfy the LOLER regs then put me down for one!!

The spey has burst it's banks just here with us, and whilst driving down the A9 today, the Tay was very high and part of the A9 was flodded thismorning near Pitlochry.... looks like we've had some serious rainfall in the last few days. Friends over the west coast were syaing it's been raining over there in parts almost non-stop for a month!

I'll second ed's appraisal. Matt - I would hate to get my helmet caught under a tractor!

Billy - what harness was it out of interest??? One thing I have learned in the last couple of years is not to be tight on buying kit.. buy shite buy twice and dont feel bad about spending good money on good equipment.
-
SWEET! That will make my life alot easier.

About bloody time!!! And will there be online account options for regular customers??
-
I'm with trust also and I cant rate them high enough... fantastic service, competitive reasonable prices and they know what they are talking about. I have my PL, EL, PI with them.
-
Jay, no driving license??? You'll struggle if you cant drive or don't have transport... also, if it's drink driving or motoring conviction related alot of companies wont touch you. Anyways, good luck etc but this thread should be in the employment forum mate... there's more chance of somebody with work available looking at it there and anybody with odd days available will post to that forum also.

Building bridges
Highland Forestry replied to David oakman's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
David - can't really tell in the photos - have you stapled chicken wire or something over them?? They will be like walking on ice in a couple of years time. Lovley wood by the way, looks a great way of using timber you already have. -
Billy - that is just not true, sorry. I think you will find that F R Jones are extremely competitve, especially with delivery and when buying multiple items. Infact, I have found the complete opposite to your statement above.

Give Cameron Yeo a call at Trust Insurance. 01604 492644 Dont bother with searching through quotes and comparrison sites, it's a very specialised insurance for the arb industry. Call Cameron, he'll keep you right.

I would just brace the tree and monitor. No need for a reduction and extra hassle. If at some point in the future the tree si still deemed to have a potential to fail and the situation looks worse then fell and re-plant.

This is such a shame, I feel a bit of a lump in my throat reading that report... My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife and family. I can only imagine what the emergency services had to deal with at the scene of this accident, and I cant help but wonder how this happened and why he was not helped quicker. It just goes to reiterate what a dangerous job this can be and how accidents even amoung the experienced can and will still happen.
