A guy I used to work for used the blue poly sheets 2 massive ones first one covered the front half of his trailer with loads of overhang left out to one side and then same idea but the other side for the back. He held it in place with those cheap plastic clamps. Once finished chipping we would put the excess back over the chip push it in so it didn't blow off and put tools like rakes etc etc on their to hold it down.

first of all welcome uk guy. I personally cant advise on tree jacks but a note I will say about the 261 as with any saw. A professional user will put much more demands and strain on any saw compared to a non professional user just in hours used. if the saw works for you brilliant. hope to see you around the forum.

agreeing with hodge the only down side i have found with the hb 20 was when it was going over rough ground you have to support it some times as its only on two wheels but when it gets to a stump its brilliant. it took a bit more effort on my part. but nothing too bad

My thought was reduce the risks as much as practicable.

Don't forget a cat scanner to help locate cables so you can avoid them. I have used the hb 20 and rg13 and currently have a Husqvarna sg13 the hb is the best but most expensive. Keeping the teeth sharp and spares with you. With finger teeth they can be sharpened with a diamond disc on a small angle grinder if you get a battery powered one you could sharpen teeth and have spares with you.

Give vermeer an email and they have to provide you with a manual under PUWER regs *I think its puwer. And the manual should have all the info. The manual should be free or at postage cost only but they like to send them via a pdf and email. Hope that helps in the long term

brilliaint bit of thinking what did you use for the progress capture and how did the line react to the weight of the log being tensioned up?
-
ive got pretty much same kit there's not much you cant do with that

This sounds cool ll watch the thread and see what comes up.

He will be slow on his feet after the 6 weeks. I broke my ankle when I was a groundie.

Have a look at the dmm rigging hubs. They are a great piece of kit and if you can afford it get the large impact block as it has a few more features than the small.

Second what treequip said but I would also add. Get ur work colleague to know how to lower the basket from the ground and get them to practice it every once and a while so its fresh in their mind. I think that would be safer and quicker than trying to exit a bucket.

Hire it with an operator maybey. Hire on its own I would say its more trouble than its worth. If u do hire it with out then be prepared to change the blades after every time its hired and keep it clean so you can see the brick dust/anything else un wanted. If it was me I wouldn't do it unless I was there or a good employe that I trust

How long between the accident and it getting cleaned out we have discussed this product at work but looking for more information. When it was cleaned out did they have to do anything special?

Trying to buy a stump grinder from UK dealer.

Speak to uncle dean at global recycling. And look up ty korrigan on here he has a bandit grinder so will know a bit more about availability of spares etc as ur both in France but I understand France is big and may not be near each other. -
i thought i recognised glenmore. nice work i worked there a few years ago

To help save the lawn have you got some ply wood or bags of rubbish from other jobs to act as a brash mat it may take 30mins of setting up but if you don't have dents to sort. Just a thought but also consider having your main line in another tree in case the worse should happen you can get out of dodge very quickly.

I'm pretty sure he's on the books but wait to be told in wrong.

Rescue - adding friction when putting two climbers on one system
Ian Clarke replied to pd_denmark's topic in Climbers talk
You could do a bit of calculation if ur rope is 12mm the Karabiner is the same then you have 36mm not including tolerences so buy a ring just above and just below that and try it out. That's all I can think of. -
My boss has a contract with a debt recovery agency he pays a yearly fee and if it goes that far the agency recovers all its fees from the debtor its a sort of safety net like personal accident.
-
It depends on what part of the country you are in. Also what the company is prepared to pay you.

I've used the clip together ones by aus that were fibre glass for stuff near power lines and they were fine you learn how much flex they have and how you can work that to ur advantage. At work we currently have a silky hayauchi which is good not much flex and a good reach. 6m at longest.

Shaun wishing you all the best for your recovery.

Done if you do get it. And your allowed by competition rules talk too companies to help promote it like go pro to make a video cotswolds for a nice outdoor jacket. Etc etc.

then the rescuer would have to get to your tie in point or another one of suitable strength and size then descend to you and attach you to their line. it wouldnt be easy but thats the only way i can think of it.
