    Those caritool can be a PITA sticking ut like that. I have large one on each side of my treemotion, but they are so flexible and yet tough, that when branches do get stuck, it isnt much to pull the branch out. Had it about 9 months now and i am withing for the caritools to go brittle mind, which so far they are not showing any signs of. I usually have a lanyard, a 200t, a couple of spare crabs sometimes and posibly a tape sling or two if i think i may need an extra foothold. and of course a first aid kit... I have never felt the need to adorn myself like a rag and bone man or rock climber....

    Yes they are. A friend of mine has them on a 130. Had hem for about 12 months so far in place of helper springs. Very happy with them. But then again he has never overloaded his landy like some do, although he does carry plenty of weight in it.

    Yada yada yad. Two hours- you should have it on the deck far faster than that if you are as experienced as you keep reminding us that you are Tony:001_tt2: The OP is, at his own admission, very inexperienced, and to offer the kind of advice you did to someone of his skill level is disgraceful. Sod the bloody tree health of the supporting tree, it will survive fine, and well you know it. What about the potential death of the inexperienced cutter. I am flabbergasted at your attitude here.

    :scared1:Tell me you are flippin joking mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Were you taught how to take down hung up trees safeley?????????? You are NEVER meant to do that. Okay, we all might do it, but this guy has just admitted to being new to this game and asked for experience, and you have given him some potentially lethal advice. The correct taught manner is to sever the root plate, attach a winch to the bottom of the stem and pull the stem until the crown falls to the floor, at no time walking or working under the hung up tree. edit- the safest way is to do what Steve Bullman said, and use that as a valid learning experience.

    I have seen a couple in the repair shop....or maybe the same one twice. TBH i can see a point in it, although it makes the nose so heavy that the saw HAS to be held two handed (lets not get onto any 'well it should be held 2 handed anyway' stuff BTW) so you may as well get a rear hander up in the tree anyway.

    The 346 all the way. I have recently been using a 357 with about a 15" bar on it. Very nippy and fairly light machine too.

    No they didnt......in those days it was much more them and us.......that sort of music never really made it into the charts. By about '92 there were commercialised versions of this genre coming into the mainstream, and soon the clubs themselves started cateing for the masses so it was possible to hear tunes in clubs, then maybe 6 months later, watered down chart versions of those tunes would apppear too. A famous example is this, although it hit the charts year after the original tune.... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iDz648nzT8]YouTube - Gat Decor - Passion (Original Mix)[/ame] and here's the awful commercial version that came out with vocals added to maki it saleable to the masses..... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ynm-_iJTIQ]YouTube - Gat Decor - Passion (Do You Want It Right Now Mix)[/ame]

    This could be called one of the early breakouts from the house/ disco scene that led to the drum and bass / breakbeat sound....one of the greatest tunes of all time IMO... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOLE1YE_oFQ&feature=related]YouTube - Frankie Knuckles - Your Love[/ame]

    Hama- this was the pinnacle of early 90's underground 'rave' music.....released in 1990...... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HROMVIHGpLE]YouTube - LFO - LFO[/ame] this was a number one single by some awful cheesy pop crap band in 1999 that reached number 1 in the charts...... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vRzgOig9b4&feature=fvsr]YouTube - Summer Girls - LFO[/ame] The first was high quality undergound dance, the second the absolute opposite.... Hence my last post of confusion....
  19. tommer9
