    well said dean , i know that lock jacks are relativly new and many climbers are not keen on them, when i first tried it out at first i was not that keen on it but after using it a bit more a soon realised just how much better i found it and how much more productive my time was when climbing . in my oppinio0n its a great bit of kit and worth the £180 i paid

    i spent most of today reducing a beech tree in the rain , i tend to use one end of my rope and a long strop . as the guys above have said take it slow and use redirects , also i bought some rock climbing webbing ring -strops of various lengths i use them to choker off round branches to put my feet in to climb out or you can add a revolver carab to it and use them like a re-direct , also tif you can get away with it just use a silky if you not cuttin anything too big off ! beats carrying an MS200 round a slipery tree in the rain any way good luck out in the industry

    hiya guys im looking at selling my 7.5 ton ex bt lift platform to get soething with a bit more reach and maybe a bit smaller , and was wondering what you guys are using , my current mewp has a reach of 15 meters and an out reach of 6-7 meters when 7 meters up , i find its ok for powerline work but still very restricting

    hi steve a couple questions for you -

    1 could you change my user name from combined tree seres to combined tree services please . and secondly is there any way that you could set up a catalogue of common fungy with pictures of fruiting boddies with the option that we could all add to it ??? just a thought not sure if its possible tho . and way hope your keeping well and the british wet summer aint getting to you too much lol

     

    all the best Dave

    i will get some from the ground and try to mark the areas of decay , thanks for responding mister tee:001_smile:
  24. combined tree services
    well im two years into it then lol only 8 more to go , nice job on your mog by the way
  25. combined tree services
    i have seen the same fungi on an old poor pruning cut roughly 12-15 foot up ! the tree appears to be in good condition at face value but when i climbed the tree i found several deep pockets of decay within the lower crown where the main scaffolds of the tree form , one of the pockets of decay extends down into the scaffold union by roughly 18 inches , so i feel a 20% reduction is in order , what are your thoughts ??
