    basically the engine revs all usual but the rollers only rotate once then stop then go again and so on so, basically they act like when you stick a big lump of timber in but its like that all time and in reverse. also the battary went flat half way through the day so had to pull start it dont no what is wrong with it any ideas???? many thanks james

    ive found it really useful when spikeing up poles instead of pulling my self up. say you spike up conifer take all branches off then its time for lunch or whatever u stick your running bowline on wherever you are up the pole. then when you go back up again you stick the mini traxon on the single line and you can spike back up and it automatically runs though the pulley, but if you fell its got you. saves you haveing to stop and take slack out of rope all time when spikeing back up. properly sounds confuseing but its hard to explain. good bit of kit though.

    customer wanted a seat out of a cherry we dismantled today. so heres my 5min attempt at a seat. shame bout the boreing in cuts still left but cant be avoided really. would look good oiled and sanded has a really lovely grain to it.

    id rather use that machine rather than spraying all the bracken in a woodland definetly. horrible job spraying.

    amazing work wish i could do that.

    theres always a way i find to find enough space to wrap my rope into a throw bomb, goes over the branch and undoes its self and end comes back to you. takes practice and more practice to get good at your aim but its the basic skill you will need.

    bargain that is for someone.

    proberly this week is best job had to work on queens estate at sandringham at princess diannas old house. some really old amazing cedars and oaks. they had tree report done 16 trees needed work on them and they couldnt stretch the budget that far apparently so they only had 3/4 trees done instead.

    we also working opposite this what was a lovely oak tree. needed to be reduced cause of its location but obviously they got the cowboys in to do it.
  17. testcricket01
    done loads of little reductions today, this is just pic of the 3 little beech trees which were down for 30% reduction.

    i cant let my self give my lockjack a chance. Going up on lockjack is great but going down on it i cant get on with it no matter how long i practice with it. hitch for me

    beech have always been my favourite tree of all time and love climbing them aswell smooth bark, so easy to cut great to climb, but i also love straight up pines or populars cause there so easy to work in part from all the sap.
  20. testcricket01
    as all the above have said get used to re-directs, high anchor point, keeping your line as straight as possible going out on limbs. loads of slings different lengths to wrap around and use as footholds and just take your time.
  21. testcricket01

    prussic 90% of the time and 10% of time i use icicle hitch. have a icicle hitch on my lanyard all time. personally i find that the icicle bites better than others. only problem ive had is that it sometimes becomes hard to pull the slack out after it been loaded for a length of time.
