  1. Do you mean that in a good way tony. Here's some more pics
  2. There's a malus I am going to reduce as it has white rot fungi and woodpecker holes in the larger stems it has had some branches fail which have made fractures and epi has sprouted just wondering if it is ok to fracture prune the rest of it to stop complete failure
  3. I have a skylotec and it is the best I have used for dismantling as it is solid and holds both the saw and your secondary very well also supports your legs and back very well lots of padding . I also have the TM and it is a nice harness with some great features like D shackles on leg loops adjustable bridge etc but I would not buy again as I want something less complicated like a don Blair or weaver harness I know it sounds crazy . The only other one I tried that was nice was the treeflex lightweight simple and comfy

  6. I learned it from a guy who has been in the job a lot longer than I and think it is great for pulling over heavy stems that have no forward lean to make it come over .

    dog abuse

    dog abuse

    Hope you don't mind me changing subject a little but after seeing that horrible story it kind of made me think about something I was looking at on you tube about training dogs I wa watching the dog whisperer and saw all the negative comments on there about him kicking and jabbing the dogs on his show. I would not use those methods and anyway it only is going to make dog more violent towards owner IMO.
  15. Cheers ben so would you say they are as suitable as say a landrover for use in urban areas domestic jobs etc .
  16. My boss is going to buy a Mitsubishi for are next truck we have been using land rovers could I convince him to go with a mog because we're always overloaded with chip . The only worry with the mog has it got room for the non chipable stuff in ton bags and are they hard to load logs on etc . Cheers for any advice

    Boots

    Got my zermatts today cheers jonsie . So I have only had them one day but liked the way they felt with my climbing spurs also they were very nice when dragging brush and moving logs about no slips or trips at all they feel very supportive around the ankle . They feel very alien to where like clogs but very light I will give them a bit longer and report back.
  18. Cheers for advice he is going to get loads of exercise about 45 mins in the morning and an hour every evening at the very least . I will have a look at those books tomorrow .

  22. Is this monkey puzzle worth much just asking for a friend as it is due to be felled.
  23. Cheers for all your advice I have always been up for a challenge I will take the rough with the smooth .
