  1. There was a thread about this a whilst back
  2. Try Rye oils good stuff and good price including delivery
  3. Roads aren't that bad its just they drive like old women. Mind you they drive like idiots around aberdeen area, all the gear but no idea. Seems to be the countries biggest concentration of top range Audi's, Imprezas and Range Rovers not to mention the Porches Ferrrari and Maserati's
  4. Dont think so , if they build a motorway I wont be moving back
  5. Try Timberel or Roundup as a stump treatment
  6. Take a long 5mm set screw put a plain nut on right up to the bolt head, then 2 penny washers or a thick washer. Screw into oil pump then screw nut down till washers contact casing.then hold bolt and wind nut down which will draw oilpump back out. Alternatively split head down and chap down the drive gear, this will fubar the oil pump but it will get it out. i think it is a 5mm thread on the oil pump butcould be 4mm, senior moment
  7. Quite nice actually. Used it a few times up the trees, lighter than my 372
  8. Yes. Dimensionally the same but ratios will be different
  9. Its a bigger cc engine, I looked into it a bit for Guss 109
  10. 300-400kg per cube is what i assume, depending on the variables you mentioned
  11. prob broken earthwire on switch easy to recrimp. take screw out of stop switch and remove lever before taking handle appart, or bits will be everywhere. split handle take photo of insides to aid reassembly. check wires to switch one will have prob broken. good luck
  12. What problems have you got, poor earths/poor fitting bulbs/ blowing bulbs
  13. Yes but better fun than taking 084 up, now thats a ball ache, but sometimes required.
  14. 560 on 20", 395 or 660 on 28". Depends on what trees you work on. I go 14" 200t, 20" 372 and then 30" 660,
  15. You and your toys. He who dies with the most toys wins, you must try and keep up with me.lol
  16. Sounds like you need a third pair of hands as said before, to ease your learning curve.
  17. Pulley saver can be replaced with a cambium saver or like. If you do not have one of them once you get to your work possition choke your main line round trunk with running bowline use figure of 8 to descend if you need to backed up with a prussic knot, practice this low and slow until you get used to it.
  18. Flip line and main line through pulley saver round trunk so you can get out of tree if needed. Lowering pulley attached just below your lines so dosen't lock your lines when loaded. Good groundy to let wood run therefore missing your feet and reducing shock loading
  19. Try here http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/71107-ergonomic-harnesses-their-benefits-negatives.html?highlight=harness

    Bottled it

    Always told myself to believe in your ropes and anchors. and to concentate basically on the 6ft of the tree above and below you as beyond that its going to hurt you. A lot is in your mind control and compartmentalising, concentrate on the job in hand and dont let outside influences affect you if they are not applicable to the immediate job . Hope this makes some sort of sensce
