  1. Looks ok, be good for those slightly heavier lumps I'd say that 2 people struggle with. I'd be keen for one on the back of my hilux Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. Nice videos guys, that's what we used to do, and then we bought a GRCS. Now we just tip tie, winch in and drop out butt first. If any of you guys ever get chance in using one, you'll never go back!! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. Don't get me onto bloody religion, there's no such thing as a good religion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  4. Totally agree with that mate Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. Well I owned one for a number of years, so if say my experience is fair. I've also been climbing and rigging for 9 years, so again fair. Mewps are either in your drop zone, can't quite reach, objects getting in the way of the boom or slew, when rigging in one you have to be careful of where and how the limb falls in relation to the boom and bucket etc. In my years on the job my most scary experience has been in a picker with a professional operator. That said I've had a few scary moments in a tree, but haven't we all. With a good ground crew and decent rigging gear you can drop far bigger and quicker, than cutting and holding on a MEWP or rigging in one. I'm sure I'm not the only one to think this.

  6. I didn't say it happened, I said it's far more likely!!! Let's face it how many moving parts, mechanical parts, electrics etc, I don't think I need to route around looking for facts and figures. My cherry picker has cost me allot more than my climbing kit in failures. In fact my climbing kit has never failed!!! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  7. Phanners all day long, I've got red for the winter and grey for the summer Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  8. Climbing in most situations is far easier for a dismantle in my opinion. I hate being up in those things, there far more likely to fail than your kit or anchor. There great for reductions and target limbs/ branches. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  9. Change both bearings Then reattach back plate Put back in chipper Nip up for bolts fan side Torque up blade side Tighten fan side Make sure spins freely before belts Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  10. I work on the basis of, how much I want to get paid for this job and then more importantly I stick to it. Sometimes I'm cheaper than others and sometimes I'm dearer. Always stick to your price though!!!! I've had people come back to me that I was 100% sure I lost them in the quote, to people I'm 100% sure I've got the job not getting back to me. Jobs you don't want put a stupid price on and if you get it figure it out then. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  11. Only oak tree are protected, anything else are just weeds Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. Hello guys, I took my td5 for remap yesterday and was told that mine was the earlier model (y reg) and it can't be remapped. Has anyone else found this? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. This is how we do it, self tailing winch for the winching operations and a bollard for the heavy loads. I like the idea of the stein bollard and a much cheaper alternative than the grcs. One I would have been very interested in, if I didn't stumble across this self build grcs on ebay. £600 I paid for the device and it's so well built and has transformed our dismantles 10 fold. After using mine for some months now I wouldn't think twice about spending the full asking price for the grcs. I must say I do like the idea of the stein and as a 2nd bollard for me it would be a great choice. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  14. Is yours a td5 mate Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  15. Large pine removal using a transfer drift line with a GRCS Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  16. Cheers mate, getting the Landy remapped next week, so should hopefully pull like a dream then. It's a bit bloody gutless at the moment Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. My td5 is booked for a remap on Monday. I must say I am really looking forward to the results if it's as good as people say. At the moment if couldn't pull the skin off a turd!! I've lived with it like this for 5 years, why I don't know. I've also ordered the EGR blanking kit. What is a DPF people are talking about? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. You can clip a pulley to the small eye on your Cambium saver and then you can thread it through pulley then the big eye. Then you can retrieve like normal Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. Mines done 20hrs now and it's been sound. Massive improvement from tw150, which I must say was still a cracking chipper. That's said though I wouldn't go back from my 230 now. I had a small issue with the tank sucking in, but they replaced it no question asked. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  20. I love mine and I was grinding with the wide wheels off the other day and it was fine. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. 200t all the way for me, I run 4 at the moment. There getting a bit tired but still bloody good saws Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. I have a new narrow bandit hp20 and it's great!! You can't beat a pedestrian grinder that swivels. Then for my better access jobs I have a bandit 2550, now that things in a league of its own (amazing)!! Bandit all the way for me. I noticed global have posted and it's well worth the wait until January Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. Same with me mate, I've got a old km85 that's 9 years old that still runs sweet. I've got 4x km90's that are probably 5 years old and all run great. I've got 4 guys using them and all 4 mix the fuel as well. They are proper used and abused as well, especially in the summer months. I will probably upgrade soon, but will buy the same again. Also you really don't need the bigger engines, the 90s perfect Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. You'll only need a small boat winch to drag a tw150. Loads of different options and quite cheap to do Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
