    question; how come you did'nt just pull them up with the winch using a couple of strops to keep it central? i don't see the need to roll butts that size. When I do this with my landrover and Ifor combo I place the landy where your red one is and pull them up straight, from the back of the trailer and they have come up a treat. with your method is there not a good chance of damaging the cable? Not a criticism just a thought.

    Seeing as how it was so dangerous, surely the taker of the photo could have made the driver aware of his folly there and then, rather than posting it on a forum and demanding a prison sentence!

    I think it is a little disingenuous to ask what it is worth, I am sure you know pretty much if you bought it brand new for say three grand then its worth about two. and I am also sure that most people know it is not a reluctant sale, you bought it, realised its not up to the job so now trying to move it on. fine, sell it on flea bay.
  9. Le Sanglier
    100% right

    I think he is referring to the original post in this thread

    what I wanted to say but much better.

    Totally wrong! I think your building your part up a bit, climbing trees for a living can be hard but its not sport, i worked with a bloke of 55 and he was fine, bit slower but he never had to go back on his work, we are tree trimmers and fellers not finely tuned athletes.

I will send photos via another account immediately.

    If removing even the possibility of children being injured or killed is wrapping them in cotton wool, then wrap away, of course tree officers would rather take the flak for a felled tree than someone dead, when they retire they won't say "oh well only one person killed by an iffy tree! everyone makes mistakes"

    Massive tree (tulip is very heavy wood) much to close to the house. if the client wants it out, and there is no TPO then do it, You are not the tree officer, or, if your feelings would be hurt by taking it out, there are many contractors who would fight back the tears and pocket the money for a fully justified removal.

    Thanks Tony, Sound advice based on experience,I had guessed that remotes had their limitations. The vermeer 352 sounds like a beauty, I have checked on some yankee sites where a number of folks have complained about reliability but people are more likely to complain than praise. and nothing is without faults. Now its just a matter of raising the funds.
  24. Le Sanglier
    not many tears shed here either, ludicrously expensive almost no return, except the sort of people who get fifteen quotes.
  25. Le Sanglier
    I understand remote is a option, but on a grinder you need to be close to the machine to "feel" the machine struggle or not. anyone use a remote?
