By the by if anyone finds where to import them from without getting hammered on delivery do please tell.

Best bit of kit you''ll buy. Had one for the last few years. So light you can use it in the tree! It's not a tirfor but winches alot faster and a hell of alot lighter. I definitely use it more than the tirfor. I use 12mm three strand from honeys cheap but effective. Buy one!!

Strops fine the saw needs TLC though

Yep. luckily i was low enough that the groundy unclipped it cos i was pulled like a piano wire. Typically enough it was the last chog.

Tool strop won.

Nice...didn't realise that there was a double italian hitch,will definately try this out:thumbup1:

The reason for not buying was that the job is tomorrow and there are no shops to buy a lowering device in ireland!

Has anyone a suggestion as to an alternative to a lowering device, not having money or time for a capstan or port a wrap purchase. It'll need to be more secure and precise than just wrapping the rope round the stem or an italian hitch. Cheers

cheers guys

Has anyone tried the Ibuki out?

Has anyone used this before and if so is it effective?

looking to buy a top handled chainsaw, have used stihls before but never huskys. Husky or stihl, does the reduced cc on the husky make such a difference?

Cheers guys

Thanks for getting back to me scotty. Moved to Offaly yesterday so if you know of anyone or of days here or there that would be great. Am willing to travel if need be.
