as long we looking at same impact blocks lol as on HB says the DMM Impact blocks WLL of 60KN where as the ISC medium pully on F R Jones says its got a WLL of 150kn ? so a little comfused as to weather im just being stupied and mis-understanding lol or if some where there is a typeing error lol
-
cheers i like the look of the impact blocks although reading them their working load limit is a bit lower than some others i have seen about....? also how many pully blocks is it worth haveing and should i get all the same or different ones to work along side the impact blocks
-
Hey guys, im slowly kitting myself out with different "toys" and wanna get some lowering blocks, few things i wanna know is 1st any recamendations on what to get for medium to heavey lowering (rather be safe than sorry) and also how many is best to have for most situations and bigger jobs. Last is it better to have like one hevey duty pully block taking the main wait of the load then other smaller or different pulls guiding the rope up/around the tree or do u want the same pully block throughout the tree ? Cheers guys Phil

In all honesty without looking i couldent tell u the name as i wasnt very knolegeable in it all when i got it, but its a 13mm rope

whats the forestry like in scottland ? iv been looking into going to america for the logging out there but want to do a year or so logging and cutting stuff bigger than here in england but not jumping into the deep end working with the size timber in america, idealy i want to find a company using a yarder ect so its as close to american logging as i can get it. cheers phil
-
any usefull contacts would be much apprichated
-
sounds like quite a good plan where abouts exactly would be a gd place to start looking mate ?
-
yer i wouldnt want to start stright on cutting even if i could, i want to steer away from the climbing if possible, i enjoy the feelling and logging more, but id want to start at the bottom n work my way up regardless of my skills, i want to earn ther right to be a faller by showing hard work n toughness not just starting stright away bassed on years of expirence.
-
Iv had about a year and a half experience now working with trees, doing allsorts from climbing work, cutting in the woods doing forestry and also helping with more precision felling of larger trees from houses and road sides using winches ect. I enjoy working felling in the woods more than anything else i do or have done, Iv got many different pictures from both working in the woods, climbing and other jobs iv been involved in. I also have videos, but unsure of how to post them on here, not used arb talk much or long been a member.
-
any one got any usfull contacts or links to different logging companys in america, think i might start writting to a few
-
Hey, got spome spare cash n thinking about getting some new toys for when im cutting in the woods, any one know of some cool or usefull gear ?
-
