  1. give this a bang - Kretzschmaria duesta (Ustulina duesta) - Photo 169
  2. used this set up at nrigg. pasquali and selfloading trailer, not sure which breed it was. However, a good tool. manouverability excellent. boom was a bit shaky as it is a very light thing. nice size for thinnings indeed. as far as the slope is concerned im not sure - only used them on relatively level ground. I suppose it ould also depend on the gradient of the slope. love to afford one (and a pasqli).
  3. aye mate, just seen your thread. Cundey Debarker, diesel engine - an oul lester engine. Its the dogs b's. Spent a hell of a lot of time using one for fencing material. For your job it is also ideal. I'd say you would have no problem putting longer lenthgs thru it. Man, u's are bringing back the chain gang work doing that stuff by hand....holie. Cundy debarker - you'll never look back, when our finished with it giv me a shout. I ve been lookiing for one of reasonable price just to have, theyre a dream mchine and nice money spinner.

    Aye, my first was similar to the petzl navaho one a few years ago. Plenty of freedom stretch-wise but the leg straps really pinched my weee soft legs. I took it then that the rest of the harneys of similar design would be the same. You, i suppose like many in the UK, have reasonable access to an actual shop selling treework harneys. Over here, in the wild wild west theres not a single outlet (theres an opening for sure) so its hard to get the chance to try out other ones for size. I was kinda keen on the butterfly II but if I buy it online whats the chances of leaving it back, its a real f n gamble isn't it!!

    Aye, you're correct. However, funny enough, the actual harness was tradsvard as 'Edenarb' had mentioned, dough. As i've been looking around the various site's for the harness, I got used to looking at Cresto or Komet, boo hoo. Thats what put me on Komet. Anyway, the Cresto on treeworker with the sliding D is identical. She's the one. It's hard to try a different harness especially when there ain't retailer in these part's to try them on for size. Cheer's all again for the replie's regarding the harness. I'm just going to be a grouch and stick with the same harness. O aye, I looked at the Forum Rule's and couldn't really see anything in there about the standard of written English or grammer. However, I duly understand that most guy's and gal's havent the faintest on some shortcut's to word's etc, so..........I shall change my way's until I get bored! In actual fact, for the craic that is, quoting problem's with someones' post's and the way that they display colloquialism's it isn't far off contravening Rule's 4 & 5 !!!!!!

    Cheers fella, thats spot on, its not eactly a komet but cresto is practically the same design. Other sites do offer cresto but the harneys are dont have a single sliding d or have two d ends for a mallon. Guys guys guys, look this is not the HSE webcommunty, this is an informal blithering thing for this and that. I understand my written english may not be understandable from the off, however, for me, to write something fast as I dont want to spend so much of my life typing on arbtalk it is much faster for me to type it the way i say it. piece.

  10. any SE climbers in the NW (Ireland) area looking a bit of occasional work (Good pay when out) need tickts obvisly no need insurance i got it
  11. buy the wood of yourself and you aint carry waste then. private u c. can do this if selfemploeyd or whatever.
  12. 1-Firewood. Buy bulk, fuel, machinery,process, store it, dry it, bundle, waste carriers, deliver, insurance - not Arboriculture. (Here in NW ireland very tight margins judging from recent prices of artic loads for soft wood - inherent lack of hardwood given the pilfering over the last so many centuries - daren't go down that path !!) 2-Firewood Removal of trees (Tree work/ Forest/woodland management)- Environmental Policy, Waste disposal statement, waste management, recycling. It will most definitely be Policy with most treework outfits big or small to state the end use of all waste, by-products or arrisings from working at trees. Of upmost importance to make use of all arisings. In most cases, if firewood is integrel for financial purposes to treework folk then prices for removals/pruning may be lowered to take oboard firewood value. commercial sawmills work on 'recovery rate' Arb/treework works similarly if its done with ethics. That is x amount of 'by-product', 'waste', 'arisings' is suitable for planking, turning, charcoal, whatever (added value products) and the remainder is firewood. 3-firewood Tree work - small scale (cottage industry for eg) A) a valued aspect to treework for taking a few days out of climbing in the week to devalve and still ataiin some income B) a valued aspect to treework when times may be slack or actual treework is required to be spread out to keep a balanced income C) treework small scale is a passion, for the love of it, so every little bit that involves working with green wood is just another great way to spend time, from using your family to help out, to the people you gather up as customers they eventually become indirect friends. I produce firewood not for the dough but to make use of the arisings from jobs. I have a few, a handful, of customers, who all know they et a relatively equal cut of whatever split wood is produced throughout the year. Yes it is an extra income, but by the time everything is ringed, split and delivered it aint that big os an extra income. besides when ringing and splitting goes on there is definitely no rush, push or shove let me tell ye. keep er lit.
  13. jees hes moved well on..............killinaskully man - funny as fk. shrek - is that the wee scouser that plys soccer for man utd?
  14. here. im only riting the way i say it so yousens mite understand me a bit better. lol. If it were the case that either my English or my grammer (be it written or spoken) should be more appropiate to the environment we are blithering in then, by golly i say good on you chaps for pointing out my poor conversational skill base. o aye almao.
