    i have had a pair of the hi-viz stretch airs and mine have worn through the fabric round the crutch area , i think this is due to the ammount of time i spend in my harness , i also feel that the fabric is no any where near as durable as the standard stretch airs , why cant they strenghthen the high ware areas round the crutch area where they can ware like sip do ???

    i had the same problem with several pairs of stihl hi flex , i kept sending them back to my local stihl dealer and in the end i got in contact with andreas stihl and spoke to there P.P.E division and they were less than help full , they asked me to sent the trousers back to them at my cost and they might look into it , hence i will not buy another pair of stih trousers again , i strongly reccomend that you give justin at F.R Jones a call , i bought a pair from them at the AA show and the zip broke on the first day so i called him he asked me to sent them back and he sent me a brand new pair ! simples , i could not reccomend him highly enough .

    i would say christmas day would be about the best time to prune them lol
  11. combined tree services
    the question was asked because i wanted to see what oppinions other arborists had , i personally do not have my head firmly stuck u my own arse ! best practises change on a regular basis ( as would and tec cert or prof dip qualified arborist agree , i my self recomend that and heavy pruning is to be carried out during the dormant period . How ever as i stated i had been speaking to a Prof Dip qualified consultant and he was saying about carrying out heavy crown reductions and pollarding during the height of the growing period . may be just maybe if you had read what i had said and thought before you attempted to critisise me for wanting to learn from others and use this forum for its intended purpose you too may have learnt something as for skyhuk i think there should be a few more that think like you do , we could all learn a bit from each other !!!

    to be honest i was of the oppinion that this kind of work could only be done in the trees dormant period but after talking the my local tree officer and asking him why an avenue of limes were being pollarded now he said that its because now is a great time because of the high levels of photosynthesis and that the tree is in nbetter state to recover and allomos imediatly start to put on new growth , i have been monitoring the tree of the past month and yes they have already put on hew gtrowth , what do you guys think to this theory ???
  13. combined tree services
    i dont doubt for a minute that your not one , had i gone down the route of contract lifting with the crane company then yes i would have a qualified appointed person on site , so where did you do the training for that then bob ??? im interested
  14. combined tree services
    is that in new condition tho , what are the figures for older equioment ??
  15. combined tree services
    fair point bob , but still when lifting sections of the crown it can be quite hard to judge i made the mistake of taking off way more weight in ne go with a crane than i expected it to be , but hey i lernt from it
  16. combined tree services
    flail it then lol jokes
  17. combined tree services
    i will have to pop into the dealers tomorrow and see what they can do
  18. combined tree services
    anyone know if you can get them for an ms880 ????
  19. combined tree services
    verry true , with having the facts such as the S.W.L you can avoid over loading , but how do you judge exactly or even roughly how much the article you are lowering weighs ?? i was working with a crane driver on a job he was saying that out of all the lifts and types of lifts he does and he found that he could not acuratley judge the rough weight of a piece of timber being cut .
  20. combined tree services
    hiya the timberwolf tw190 turbo was hired from brandon hire in penzance , what are your views on the 190 turbo and 190 non- turbo ?? i personally have not seen any great diffrence other than the fact that the turbo seems to drink lots of fuel
  21. combined tree services
    in fairness i have also seen an approved lowering device that has failed , im not saying that a"home made" lowering device is acceptable to be used but if as brian says it has a cert of conformity then i would assume that this meets industry standards , any of you that know much about welding will understand the differences betwene a lloyds coded welder and a asme coded welder .
  22. combined tree services
    sorry was that 60 a day and trust you have your n.p.t.c fueling and starting lol
  23. combined tree services
    YET as brian said , i had a climber workinghere and he was starting the saw with the rear handel betwene his legs when he tried to start the saw on the compression stroke , thus leaving him roaling round on the floor like a baby ha ha , give brian his due he did carry on lifting timber all day:001_smile:
  24. combined tree services
    im sure brian will waist his money on that NOT lol i learn to start bigger saws from doing it and yes im sure we all have had similar accidents , i did when i first started out in the gme with a husky 3120
  25. combined tree services
    so where do you learn to start an ms880 then , i didnt think that there were any course's that tought that . but im sure if there is an ms880 starting course then brian will be on it !!!!!!
