do these count west hams half time entertainers the hammerettes

slings are the easy bit i find, the real hard thing is to estimate the weight of each lift as spot on as reg does, that is a real skill not to pre load the lifts to much so they pop off.

if you go for the hand winch option a good choice is to look on ebay for a ACE winch me and a few friends have bought them now £150 you get a solid well built winch with 20meters of cable and we really have tested pulling trees over with it, pulling stumps out, pulling cars out of a ditch in the ice never let me down yet 1 of my best buys so far i was thinking about 1 on the front of my tranny but i dont think i want to add more weight to it as it is

came across this on ebay looks in very good nick, as a total husky fan ive gotta say i do like the 660 STIHL MS660 CHAINSAW NEW 36" BAR TREE SURGEON | eBay

ooo yes it was getting to the point where the tops bending over not with the rest of the stem i just used my handsaw mostly because its easier/ safer to cut and hold with a hand saw rather than the chainsaw if i could have just dropped all the limbs i would have just spiked up with the saw running constantly taking everything off as i went, just some stuff needed lowering on the roadside.

looks quality that ive got some 2 inch planks of cedar im going to make into a coffee table or dineing table, but the question is i havent got a clue what to finish it with like wood stains varnish etc what do you usually use? many thanks
-
did you replace the wires connecting to the on/off switch aswell?
-
theres less light in the 2nd pic looks like a good job though always a pain reduceing over roads.
-
i would forget about hss they are useless and if they did manage to finally pull through and get you 1 it will have smashed up blades and will chip you a pile of ft long string
-
a nice copper beech to play around in today deadwood and reduce the tips on the massive low limb. quite a impressive beech i must say in the shear weight that is in it, mind you some one has thinned it right out so theres nothing till the last 5/6 ft in most places pics dont do it justice really.

hi ive just finished a RFS course this year, you need no qualifications in the trade to do it, it was part time 1 day a week in college, you learn theory side of trees how they work, tree surveys, latin names, fungi etc etc good starter course i would have said

i preordered my dual and received it day it was released its a very solid product, which you should never over load since it can take 3tons on it. i bought it simply because of the 2 bollards in 1 has endless possibilitys be it speedlines, tip tieing and butt tieing whole branches in 1. the only thing me and others have found is the pre tension arm is very fiddly, but reg assured me i would get used to it. but as of yet ive never really needed it so it never gets put on the device 9 outta 10 times as for the price it just rounds off the whole product
-
had a cedar to fell so i thought borrow a alaskan mill and get some planks for a table to hot for all this dismantling though

-
i shall remember ian. well today i got a chance to have a look at it took clutch etc off took the pump out sprayed WD40 through the gold colored outer pipe no worries, cleaned off the pump no worries, then i took out the black rubber pipe that goes inside the oil tank and that was blocked right up with sawdust it has a split in the oil tank end so it will need replacing soon but it works now. so thanks for your help spudulike

decayed tree dismantle useing false anchor
testcricket01 replied to testcricket01's topic in Video forum
how ever do i do that -
this video is basically to show a idea ive used a few times, dont no how much it is used by others, but its very handy especially on dead or dieing or decayed trees, if you needed rigging you can set up another seperate line for the rigging. its basically a zipline from 2 trees, with the tree your working on somewhere within that line and you set your climbing line anywhere on that line. for this tree i could have set my line from the willow alone but if the tree had snaped i would have had a nasty swing into the willow stem, with my line in thin air i would swing free of all objects. good thing about it is its fully installed from the ground and can be retreived from the ground simple set up but very useful.

furthest ive been is from kings lynn to winchester in hampshire that was a travellodge job but mostly if its my own work ill travel couple of hours each way max, if im subbing i dont want to be doing more than a hour each way max without chargeing extra on my day rate.

im just in a rush to fix it really doing some milling next wednesday ill need it oiling but ill give it a bash what you said tomorow and hopefully i can get it flowing again then the oil pump can be a spare in the draw.
