  1. Profihopper4WD.flv - YouTube this might work
  2. i have it simple RAINFORDS TREE CARE Professional Tree Surgery landline number mobile number
  3. In that situation I would be strongly inclined to remove that tree. P. schweinitzii causes a brown rot in the stem and will lead to a brittle - across the grain - fracture.
  4. Are you small or far away?
  5. Yeah I do, I just need another pair of hands on this job I'm on so thought may aswell be a climber.
  6. good on you for getting out, little steps at a time the whitebeam is a Sorbus species, its quite dense wood and is surprisingly heavy. dont worry about not coming out, i am out on a job tomorrow and you are welcome to come down for a chat.
  7. haha sorry! thankfully i dont need a phone case! but i saw it and immediately want one, the full cover is very nice, although at nearly $250 its a tad pricey! https://www.miniot.com/webshop/?portlet=miniot&page=miniotcase&state=normal
  8. found this today, im saving for one for the ipad but cant decide which wood to choose! https://www.miniot.com/webshop/?portlet=miniot&page=index&show=1
  9. sorted now thanks
  10. cool beans, hopefully we can get another good group together again, a zipline shall be set up again i think
  11. in 2013/14 though! this year its £8100 ish
  12. unsure of exact pop, not lombardies, not black italian pops, bark reminds me of white pop with the diamonds on the bark but im unsure. reduce, 20% height, there are huge numbers of topped pops on this estate that were done by cowboys a while back, the residents will complain these will not be done the same, but we are pros, and dont do a cowboy job!
  13. bugger, got the number wrong sorry, didnt notice 07516 348002
  14. no interest? this will be a good day, easy drop zone, 3 guys make it an easier day on all of us.
  15. shall i put down 21st april then? seems theres a few keen on this so thats enough for me.
  16. How about may 12th? It's a Saturday. Or there's the 21st/22nd of April? I'm available all those days and would happily arrange a climbing day for then.
  17. the second part of that is something to be more proud of i think! i got a tan today! and a torrent of abuse from the local wino some comments included 'stop picking on the trees!' we were just taking out a few dead hanging branches! cant add any more comments, they were funny, but not well suited for this forum!
  18. unlucky! make sure you get insurance next time. sods law is the uninsured stuff gets nicked. ill keep an eye out for anything.
  19. I'm after a climber for Thursday. Got some pops to reduce and is a bit much for two people. Get paid on the day. 07515 348002 or pm here. Cheers.
  20. Using 11.7mm poison ivy today. I use a 12/13mm cam as I have a longer 13mm xtc rope too. In the pics above ive used 13mm line and found it worked well.
  21. I've sent you a pm
  22. Tried it today taking out a multi stemmed syccie. Worked very well and you can pull the tail of the rope up like on a HC/VT and it tends up slack smoothly. Quite pleased!
  23. i didnt think of just a crab really tbh, a dmm revolver would fit nice, but i dont want too many krabs knocking around my bridge and that little one and the pulley in the same ring worked nice.
  24. i am aware of that, but thanks for pointing it out. i had a few goes of this moving up and down and pulling the rope at different angles, it seemed tricky to get it to cause such an issue, although ive not had a proper test yet so it may change.
