  1. love them chainsaw protective jeans always wondered where they get them:sneaky2: "This tree was going to be totally removed but we persuaded the customer to save tree" think they pretty much did remove it by the looks of it
  2. proberly do what i end up doing when i have time to spare, looking online through all the arb shops and spending loads of money on new shiney kit lol
  3. good vids very easy to understand cant wait till mine arrives try all these out.
  4. good job that, i saw on your videos your letting the lumps swing half way round the tree. just wondered how you were getting the line back since you havent got a floating pulley or anything that i saw, just tieing it on end of your rope or groundie swinging it back to you?
  5. i can feel the pain just looking at it. hope you havent got to chip it all horrible stuff to chip all kinds of weird and wonderful shapes some of that stuff normally.
  6. still yet to get a tree to try and do them cuts on really fancy trying it though. looks good that though now
  7. looks like abit of a tricky tree that any more pics?
  8. why not just use spikes be quicker than building a platform and sticking a ladder up it.
  9. i would say 40quid a day is more than enough for a placement maybe not useing your own fuel and oil is abit cheeky, but like all others have said just head down and show them what you can do. i started on 20quid a day when i had a placement 4 years ago, just got to bite the bullet and enjoy it best of luck.
  10. good link that some monster saws there
  11. aye to true, arbtalk just wouldnt be the same without ya
  12. whoopie sling for me to till i take delivery of my rc dual
  13. well i thought it explained it self but hey ho looks like we both no jack
  14. well that was what im going on since it was posted about the pics of chocking down of a short ash stem.
  15. cause usally when your lowering your doing so to protect whats under it, so it gets to a point where your chocking down and you might aswell not lower it cause its going hit deck before ropes catch it. you will get to that point sooner with useing slings, like i said with the not getting it perfect length slings, useing rope takes the maximum amount of slack out the system.
  16. be alot of messing about with the timber trying get the perfect length sling though, if its slightly to long your going to make the peice fall that extra bit.
  17. good videos and pics there looks like a beast of a tree that
