I like the zubat 300 but the straights good tbh its a silky.. The both cut wood and both have there pros and cons not much difference in them..

Lots of people get on well with the saw pod i personly dont find it gets on the way alot.. Lanyard tieing its self too it.. Tapped in forks, falling put and riding up your leg.. Not worth the money imo..

Towing? Offroad? Land rover defender everytime! Comfort? Defiently not a landy!

Thats what i thought. Didnt know if there was any reason it would be unsafe!

Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Can this be used on drt or is it purely for srt?

Sorry if its a stupid question..

Is a devout landy man i was quite impressed with this one allthough i think they need uprated suspension on the back.. This one doesnt and sits very low when loaded!

Thourght id share a warning, not the manufacturer at fault my stupidy!

Was decending this morning and the decent lever pulled out in my hand, luckily i had my other hand on the rope and manged to stop the decent, and get down on a back up system!

Further inspection showed the first two threads on the body of the jack where the grub screw which holds the leaver in place where striped, it must of happened when i changed the clutch.. Again my fault but id thourght id share it anyways!

Climb safe Ollie

If its leaning, spike on on the top side of the lean.. Sounds obvious but ive seen people struggle trying to spike the underside of the lean.. Quite funny to watch.

I've used velcity and imori.. velocity is the best in my opinion. yale blue tounge is meant to be allright aswell.

Ollie

Use a BC1000 at work... Awesome chipper! Since ive been there its yet to break do

wn which is also a bonus,

I think gristwood and toms are looking for team leaders in the london area? Fair play on the job though mate, !!

Good luck

Ollie
