    I had a 4kw system put in last year for just under 6 k. Should pay for itself in about the 5th year with what you save on bills if you punch clever and with the F.I.T payments. Up to a 15% to 20% return on your money over the 20 year F.I.T term.

    I'm not sure replacement rings are available but I could be wrong. You could replace them with a shackle type connector that other harnesses use.

    The x torq's have a slightly different piston to non x Torq models that have 2 recessed sections in the piston skirt. Maybe something has got stuck in one of those and that's why you can't see it.

    -8 in parts of mid wales this morning. I worked yesterday in the rain and this morning the karabiners needed defrosting to open them and my climbing rope was as stiff as a wire rope.

    I'm 41 and climb nearly all day, 6 days a week but I work with a guy sometimes that's 58. He had a heart attack a couple of years back and he is still very good

    Most boys I know run 15" but 1 guy runs a 18" with no problems. Also a few if them have changed the drive spocket/bar from .325 to 3/8.

    It could of been the Swedish cut, it's for a small diameter forward leaning tree that's basically to small to do dog tooth cut on.

    I've always gone on x3 diameter once fully tightened.

    I've been called out to a few windblown trees over the years via the fire brigade. Members of the public have rang them, they've contacted the out of hours council helpline and then the council have rang me ? If your that worried about it and you think it's going to fall, maybe try that route.

    I can recommend the ones sold by Collins nets, not cheap but very good quality.
