Nice set of pics Dan, not to many trees of that size come down, seemed like you had great weather for it too. Tidy work fella, Was that why you asked about my 56" Alsakan mill, Still havent got it back from its "short term loan". With another Dan, might have to pop round his.

how much are you paying ground workers?
Ian Flatters replied to shillo's topic in Business Management
£60- no tickets dragging donkey. £70-80 tickets and very low experienced climbers £90-100 Experienced groundies but from what i've learnt they all want to be climbers so i become the groundy. -
Keep going, might lead to other avenues of ideas. Keep innovating, i only think of ideas after someone has invented them

Found it easy [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQwESiTfjo0]rope wrench drop testing - YouTube[/ame] I guess this is the test its competing against.

Interesting, Dan. Would like to see albere idea done with a simple drop test like the RW i think it was 99kgs at a 4m fall and was still perfectly fine and dropped something like 6-10 inches max.

Did i see the climber getting lowered with one of the last bits on the 2nd tree?????

Bump, So i need to know if your thinking of coming but for those who already are 10am Salhouse Bell, nr13 6rw.

Hi, The last section was over a huge limb hence the jumpy friction from trying to lower the end section. The sling was attached for my work positioning as i climb SRT all the time now. Just makes life easier and i can make sure its kept clear of the rigging line when lowering. I used it originally in the earlier part to position just beyond the limb as it sat vertical so i could in comfort strip it out. Hope that makes it understandable? Ian

Yep Its more compact than the ZK1 but still loving it and the solid bar is good. But i did feel there is going to be some who like a stiff tether and some who dont, im currently torn between the two on video its the soft tether but off cam when im climbing i seem to be on the solid one. Either way Bar or not people will now love the wrench.

Always and Facebook is an easy place to store them either under yourself or under a business, its much easier than the old days when i actually had to take a photo album around.

True,

When you drive for 1 1/2 hrs to site to remove a tree with all the saws rigging kit and no climbing kit............... Nice day for a drive tho.

Heres some pictures from work we carried out in 2010 better scale of the tree

So i had to attend this call out one evening last week. The limb is off these monster Pines dating back to a botanical record when it was a rectory in the 1800's!! The limb was about 50ft long and it looked like a lever arm failure rather than a wind load failure. SRT mad the job super quick and it was pretty much straight forward. Climb up, secure with rigging, climb down the limb, strip out, cut off, tidy up cut, and lay on the deck. Hope you enjoy it Ian [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFSndZnjkMQ]Pine tree limb failure - YouTube[/ame]
