-
depends what your sticking threw them in my experience 150 chips logs alot faster than 125 just for fact its got alot more power wouldnt have said it was twice as fast though

Does being a good climber mean he's a good tree worker??
testcricket01 replied to john@arbtech's topic in General chat
being a good tree worker could be a groundy or a climber dont always need to climb a tree to do tree work -
just gotta look at the price lists for stihl and husqvarna stihl r more expensive just look at the 880 vs 3120xp nearly 200quid difference in them
-
huskys for me because they alot cheaper they cut better and i have more feel with the saw than i do with a stihl personal prefrence really they basically the same just minor differences

if we followed all health and safety regs then no one would ever make any money or even get to work the worlds gone crazy people cant even stand on a chair and change a light bulb anymore rediculus as for the having a rescue climber i think the answer is in a ideal world you would have a rescue climber and paramedics and a hospital next door but in the real world esspecially in the finacial state at the moment people find it hard enough to get work without having to add to the costs having someone who has the CS38 isnt worth the paper its written on if you have a accident where by u cant move or do anything for your self you will properly be dead by time anyone gets to you anyways i think minimiseing the risks of being in a accident should be concentrated on more than the fact of you having a rescuer or not

yer id be well up for that sounds like a great idea
-
this was my lesson learned dont trust conifer branches cuting and chucking like you were dean and branch i was standing on broke and myself and running saw went flying and i landed ontop of my saw a few branches below lesson was i should have taken 2 minutes to put my spikes on but it was only a little thing thought id be alright but obviously not

-
cheers for the advice didnt think to go otherside of tree ill have to try that out i usually do tie my mainline in but its just cause had that big saw wanted to just do it quick as i could really and my mainline was jst stuck over tree in the gob from the cut before jst to hold some of the weight while groundy was cutting sections up nd handing me back the winch cable and strops etc i still had my lanyard and spikes but ill bare that in mind next time thanks for advice

yer i do agree with you people should wear gloves if useing chainsaws regularly i do use gloves on ground work now but not chainsaw gloves but i think alot of people would feel up tree its properly more dangrous makeing ya self wear gloves and not being able climb as well as if you didnt have gloves on
