Well, it's a big thumbs up for that then! I think the important thing when using your climbing line for lowering is that if it gets caught in the loop, or on peg. you could in a pinch pull it out yourself. (Guilty of ignoring that rule too often!) I am sure I'm preaching to the choir anyway but I often lower instead of slam down (even if there's room) so that the groundie can stand it on its top and guide it straight to the chipper. With wood like poplar and other brittle stuff you save youself a lot of clearing up.

I agree Will.

And therein lies the rub:001_smile:

Bump! any news Glen? (over a month now!)

I have a Tranny, Ranger crewcab and 130 tipper. If it had to be one vehicle it's got to be the Tranny (or any other 3.5 tonne tipper) In simple terms it will make you more money than the others.

Why not always use a pulley on anchor point?
Le Sanglier replied to recycledsole's topic in Climbers talk
If I have a large crown to negotiate I use a little pulley on a cambium saver, no real bother to go up and get it at the end of the job. -
Well put some clothes on when photographing your dogs.

Your dog has an erection.

Funny how often the 066/660 comes up in these threads, I'm in that camp, my 066 is a monster, nearly brings a tear to my eye. Or, as I am wont to say after using it "that saw is freaking lightsabre!)

It's hard these days, When I left college in 94 I just had to phone a couple of firms to get a job, once I had ruined their insurance record and got the bullet, another call and started on Monday. None of this go round and offer oral sex or anything. Hard times to be young!

Great pics Global R!

I tell you what that reminds me of, an old 076 with a debarking attachment I saw out here once. Ran off a belt if I remember. Probably wrong though

Google Earborist, loads on there.

Hold on, aren't you 22 or something?

Without a photo it's a bit difficult.

100 per cent right

Technically I suppose you need not use a pulley, just make sure the rope is through a crotch. Good tip:001_smile:

Ha ha, my work here is done:thumbup:

Probably, just don't get between them and their sandwiches by the look of them!

Hey there, Now you know how I feel about these little chippers so I'll tell you my experience. 10 odd years ago I thought that leaving the chip with the client was the way forward, you know persuading them to use it as mulch etc. To this end I bought a tracked TW with a 25hp engine, to get into back gardens. What I found is that in reality the vast majority of clients want rid of the arisings no matter how much I gave them the blurb they would say "nah just take it away!" I sold the TW (at a loss) and learned my lesson. My advice (for the last time!) If you are going to spend around 10k on a chipper buy a tow behind with some poke ie 25plus hp. Sorry for harping on:001_smile:

Thinking about it (he said warming to his theme) it also cuts out a lot of the shouting and hand signals as there is no need to suggest amount of wraps or leave a bit of slack so it drops out of the way. My groundy whilst excellent at tidying up and goes all day without a grumble dislikes the dramatic nature of rigging, so it avoids all the tantrums and over cautious wrapping.
