    thanks chaps , looks like its lock jack and foot ascender , i may look int the srt system at some point . i think one at the top i would still change over to lock jack and friction saver so would end up carrying even more kit imo

    great job mate , sadly we dont get many like that down here in cornwall

    i was impressed by the rope walker system , i am thinking of looking into using a foot ascender and hand ascender with a lock jack , with a bit of luck it will work in much the same way . anyone tried it before ??
  4. combined tree services
    yeah sounds like a good idea andy , any way there is always jonesie's show to meet up . where abouts is it being held ??
  5. combined tree services

    im with john and andy on this one , i drove up from cornwall yesterday , i didnt go to any of the workshops such as the AAAC aplication workshop because i only had a limited amount of time , next year a wanna camp up there and have plenty of time . also i keep reading that alot of people never got time to meet up with each other from AT so why not next year can we not get a stand sorted maybe reight next to jonesie's ??? or an AT camping area ???

    one of my chaps bought a pair 4 months ago , they have split , a few of the laicing eyelets have come of and the sole has just started to come away from the boot , i would expect this from someone wearing them 6 days a week but he has only been wearing them 3 days a week as he was at college . thankfully he has seen sence and gone for the mendel airstreams

    congrats mate hope your all good and well
  12. combined tree services
    they are ok i guess but depends on the type of tree work your doing , i do alot of LA work and the bigger end of domestic works so i have a slightly larger timberwolf but for smaller private work , line clearence work etc they are not too bad

    i have the tw 190 non turbo and yes it is well worth doing , i was quoted £14500 at the aa show yesterday from lister wilder , may be worth giving them a call but yeah now i have had a 190 i would never ever use a smaller chiper
  14. combined tree services
    yeah lets have some pics of un climbable trees , that should get this topic fired up again ha ha

    if its new is it an ms660 ??? only asking because i have heard of alot of fakes being sold at the moment and they are labeled as a stihl 66 0r ms66
  17. combined tree services
    not alot mate , i would not pay any more than £1100
  18. combined tree services
    i would wait and get a newer chipper where parts are more common , if you hang on a few weeks tere may be a load of jensen chippers being sold by fountains as i was told by mike at the green mech stand today thatfountains have just placed an order with them for arround 28 new chipers. may be worth a try , failing that keep looking on earborist , there is normally a bargaint to be had on there

    i thought it was a bit smaller than last year , i went with the intention of buying the new skylotec that was meant to be out but there was only one harness tht could not be sold to me because of thelack of a ce and it is the only one in the country, gutted !!!

  21. combined tree services
    i bought a stein hat with peltor ear defenders and was not impressed with the 4 self tapping screws to screw the ear defenders on with tbh , and to make it eeven worse i bought a pair of strech air trousers and the stitching looks really dodgy . any way it was great to meet some of you today , role on the next get together
  22. combined tree services
    yeah i saw it and thought it was a cunning publicity stunt , should have got my scooby sign writen ha ha
  23. combined tree services

    i think when people say outdated they really mean not what they prefer , i was told my method of climbing on a prussik was outdated but it has its place , i dont see the point in using my lock jack on a 30 foot tree tbh . neither can i be bothered to tie anything more that a prussik for a small job lol

    but as my LA found out when trying to use the hedgerow legislation the question brought up by the TREE/HEDGEROW owners legal representation was - when or how do you distinguish betwene a hedgerow ond a group of trees ? they felt that because the trees had been allowed to grow without being trimmed etc that they were there fore a stand of trees thus meaning that they were not included under the act and that they would not be made to cut them back or keep them as a hedge . the outcum was that the LA backed down !
