  1. How does this compare in the hand to other 11mm ropes? Such as Blaze and Velocity? Paddy
  2. Hi there Tom, I am after a little help on some work at my mums place in Berwick, I need some chipping done and some stumps ground out, wondered if you could give me an idea of price, its about half an hour of chipping, and I think 10 stumps, ranging from 15dbh, up to around 80dbh. Most are small though. Its all conifer, some scots, some spruce and a little cypress. I would think its a couple of hours grinding, no need to back fill as need to fill with soil as in the lawn, and I will take care of all tidy up. Its just off the A1 towards Coldstream. Access is great. If you want to take a look aswell thats ok.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

  3. I am also moving there at the same time, great to get a little info. Paddy
  4. Hi there, whats the work to do? where exactly is it? I have all your requirements. paddy
  5. I want a left handed one too.
  6. Any piece of webbing i find in the workshop thats long enough, stick a knot with a ring in at one end, and fishermans onto a krab at the other end.
  7. have sent you a pm. paddy
  8. I like it, dosn't really glaze at all I find. Very grippy, so may not self tend too well. That set up looks a bit long maybe? With mine I use a 3/3 VT. I think the cord is about 750mm.
  9. The only other short term option is to tie a bowline or double figure 8 with a big loop, so the bulk of the know sits above your hitch. Putting your rope onto the middle hope can help too as it makes the hc sit back a bit. I too used to have a rope with no splice, but it just dosn't work right.
  10. You should be using a low profile termination, either a splice or a sewn eye. They dont recomend the use of knots for this very reason.
  11. Heres some pics of this weeks work. Dead oak fell, scots pine fell, willow fell, and a pollard on the horse chestnut. Good couple of days.
  12. I've got one too, great little saw for the money, strop attachment is a bit rubbish, but great for what it is. I use it on the the smaller reductions and deadwoods too.
  13. This is my kit, also in Trading Place. Arborist, Tree Surgeon, Tree Climbing Kit. Marlow Petzl on eBay (end time 20-Mar-10 19:07:06 GMT)
  14. I use 8m of marlow gecko with a distel and micro pulley, using samson ice cord. Then I have the excess in a silverbull small hip bag, i really like it.
  15. Hi there Arc. Could I have some more information regards this position please. Many thanks Paddy Vero
  16. Hi all, looking for someone who can splice in the north east area. Need a lanyard spliced up. Its Blaze.
  17. So you only use them when doing inspections etc, or just hand saw work? You don,t take 2 pairs of boots out with you everyday do you?
  18. Do you guys wear these kind of boots when using a chainsaw in the tree?
  19. You don't want to sell me your cinch do you?

    Lanyard

    Which size Silverbull hip bag do you use?
  21. I always have one with me. Dosn't bother me at all. None of my colleagues carry one though. Personally I feel it is a vital thing to have with you.
  22. What range of rope sizes can you use in this? Would Yale Blaze be ok?
  23. 16th Jan, Les Houches. Hope the snows like last year!
