    great stuff mate , i ant to get an ms660 as i currently have a husky 288xp but its starting to get a bit long in the tooth and the ms880 is a bit much to be taking up a tree when there is no need to

    when ross taylor was down working with me for 4 days he saw my strop thats just like yours also with a snap hook and he said that as a qualified LOLER inspector he would fail it as its not fit for purpose as the snap hook is not 3 way so i got rid of it last wekend when a bought a new set up form jonesie ,

    no not all of it , basicly we got it in because of the condition of some limbs and the way in which they were cable braced i felt that climbing it would not be the best of ideas as neither myself or the tree officer could work out what was keeping most of the tree standing , i will post some pictures of the climbing work .

    if you had said that before we started i would have paid to see you do it , the final cuts at the top required the 88 but only with a 36" bar

    you can also do this with the art positioner , the advantage with the atr positioner is that there is no not to get in the way , i use my strop from the attachment points for the sliding d on my skylotec i find it is alot more comfortable
  17. combined tree services
    never seen one let alone used one , what does it have over the art positioner ??
  18. combined tree services
    will pop down to the yard and have a look after dinner mate , yeah bramble is good still chewing anything he can get his paws on , when do you start your new job ?

  20. combined tree services

    verry true mate , it has happened to me as well and i learnt from it !! i think getting your cuts right is most important . but then if your using a big saw in a tree like 660 or an 880 you should have lot of experience using smaller saws first ! a noticed that my skylotec appears to have a tear away tool strop attachment point !

    i found that my stein allowed more through air than my old vertex vent but hey i guess its different for everyone
  23. combined tree services
    jonesie sold me a set of green peltor ear defenders to go on my stein helmet and they are just as good as husky of sordin ear defenders imo
  24. combined tree services
    i have beeu usin a petel for the last 3-4 years but last weekend at the arb show a bought a stein helmet with a smoked visor and a clear visor and this week have found it to be really comfortable , the air vents allow more air to circulate through the helmet and the plastic visors really keep out the saw dust . well worth the money , but from what i have been told neither are to be used on utility cutting according to a w.p.d authorising officer because of the vents in the helmet they provide a much lesser protection from electrical hazards . but i must say that is only what i have been told , other utility companies may be different

    i was taught to climb with your saw attached to your harness via a tool strop and if needed and its practical to do so use a tool line from the ground to support it , but when using any saw where there is a possibility that the saw may become trapped in the Kerf of the falling timber then un clip your saw from your harness an either clip it round a branch or clip it up short . accidents do happen i saw a chap get his saw caught in a section of falling timber but thankfully the strop he was using to cary the 660 was designed to tare away , didnt do the saw much good tho !!!!
