    THAT'S A GOOD PRICE👌👏 I presume you have to buy the rope separate but still a good price.

    X ring with 3 holes Steve. I'll get a pic
  4. Jake Andrews
    I'll get one eventually Jesse, what's the price tag on one? Think it would compliment the rings nicely 🖒

    that's......nuts!!!!!😨

    Probably doesn't need to be lowered as it's not PPE. If the wrench fails, the hitch grabs.
  8. Jake Andrews
    Only with your pruning spurs treequip. I hope your not condoning using your dismantling spurs in that way!😂

    😂😂 every mini victory counts

    Practise is KEY. I use a throwline for 90% of my trees. Never a ladder.

    You run with the glory and keep throwing. Iv got a three throw rule. If I get my target within three throws, it's going to be a great day. Any more, I'm grumpy😒

    Pros: -light weight -can get a higher right point by sharing the load. -cheap -constant usable friction every time. -controls stem wobble and less jerking. -strong Cons -not midline attachable -won't replace a pulley for every situation (pulling up) but most. People can add more as they see fit. Know matter how big or small your outfit, they'll find a usable place in your rigging bag.

    Working in Bristol city centre yesterday on a large Lime removal. X-rings getting a good beasting in a small drop zone.

    That's a cool idea Tommy. Like that🖒

    Spend that 25% untangling your throw line if your Al😂

    You won't be disappointed as a first devise for srt. Best to get it now and as you say, get the system sussed so you are prepared and confident in may.

    That trees massive Steve looking at the lowering drum at the Base of the tree. SRT a must.

    Better than the 'Farrel eye' thing!

    That's cool. We don't have many verges here in Bristol with trees on. Mainly trees paved to the trunks with tarmac. The only stumps around are about 1m high and it's because the LA won't usually pay for the grinding or replanting it seems. Stumps are still in the ground that I took down from 10 years ago when I used to do council work. I do like the daffodil idea though if it's more accepted by the public.

    :what: my bad:D still great cuts though.
  22. Jake Andrews
    Nice. you and your team certainly make artwork out of your cuts. Very detailed and realistic, I guess that's why the LA approve them and not a "Bart simpson" lookalike cut others may do.
  23. Jake Andrews
    And who wrote the spec for that David?
  24. Jake Andrews
    The thing I try to explain to people when throwlining is to aim above the fork you are going for. To many people aim directly at the fork and come up short. Also as MattyF said it's all in the swing.

    That's interesting Paul, iv always gone under the theory (and I have no evidence to back me up) that leaving a large stub from storm damage could delay the time taken for decay to set in the main stem. Again this can't always be done in a stately home but it may be achieved in other places like schools, parks, woodlands and other public places. Would tree officers see stubs a risk, or just unsightly?
