    I guess everyone is a bit different, I have used a TM for quite a few years and then used a Austria harness, I could hardly walk at the end of the day my hips were so sore. But some guys I work with just love the Austria.

    Hilux mk3 help!

    Dan replied to Owen Green's topic in Arb-Trucks

    What you need to do is buy a 57 plate extra cab. I'll sell you mine if you like. Cheers Dan

    It's an 07 with a 2.5lt non turbo so it's not great but drives well with a load on. I think the newer ones have a 3lt. The towing isn't as good as some, maybe 2.6t or 2.8t but as my chipper is only 600kg I dont worry about it. Perfect little set up for domestic sites tho. Dan

    I bought myself a 350 in november, love it. It's a bit tight in the cab but I am 6ft8 so most trucks are a bit tight. Just had it arbed up with a tool box, high sides and barn doors. Sign writing next.

    We've had these kits now for some time, but never had to use them thankfully. Greig came and did a days training for us a few weeks ago, it was great. He went through how to use the kit properly, and then first aid in the tree and airial rescue/self rescue. I've been climbing 20 years and that was one of the best training days I've done. The quallity of the arb aid kit bandages etc is so much better than a normal first aid kit.

    Thanks Mr Humphries, The coronet in the final pic was the biggest and took about 25 mins, but I was in a picker with an 044. I wouldn't fancy doing it from a rope and harness. The others were easier as I could let them rip out then make a few extra cuts. The tree has AOD (early Stages). Otherwise no real decay other than the usual rotted out branch stubs. No bats, or nests. I did see a red kite land in the next tree over whilst I was eating my sarnies. Hopefully something will move in now.

    Hi folks I did a major reduction on this oak today because it was in the glide path of the planes near a runway. It is on forestry commision land and they wanted to retain it for habitat. What do you recon?

    Can anyone help please, I would like a good sized load of hardwood cord (upto 26t) delivered to the Robinhoods bay area of North Yorkshire. Good access, for drop off in a farmyard. Is there anyone out there that can do this or any ideas on who would be a good contact in the area? Thanks for any help Dan

    Things you've made

    Dan replied to a topic in Woodcraft Forum

    Yes a six day course, starting by selecting a small ash tree to fell. then sixty hours of cutting shaping and whittling. hey presto, chair. Had a great time sleeping in the woods and getting back to nature.

    Hi arbtalkers, I did a nice little job on monday, felling 9 semi mature beech trees between Cambridge and Newmarket. The client wants to sell the wood if anyone is interested please PM me or call 07865399401. All the trees are roadside with good access, a telehandler may be available for loading if necessary. 2 stems have really nice spalting by the looks of it. Just wish I had time to mill it myself. Cheers Dan

    im too fat

    Dan replied to monkey boys's topic in Climbers talk

    I'm 6ft 8in and 15 stone. If I'm going out on something thin I just think of feathers, fairies and light summer breezes. Mind over matter. then again I've got a good reach so it's not such an issue.

    I've been climbing 16 years now and have worked at few places that encourage using spikes whilst pruning, one of them was an established AA approved contractor! I never stayed very long with any of them. I've also used spikes for retrenchment pruning for the national trust, to encourge regrowth. As a rule tho I like the right tool for the right job. Tall trees/bad access, invest in a big shot.

    milled oak

    Dan replied to Dan's topic in Panther Mill UK

    cheers guys, i've been using linseed oil, but i'm thinking of trying grape seed oil for the next project as it seems to have a more subtle effect.
