    I used it all afternoon with a small hedge cutter and I'm not fatigued in any way, at all, not even a bit! Usually with a short hedge cutter the hands and arms are pumped after two minutes and after the first quick break, subsequent breaks have to be frequent. With the ELH I can cut without releasing the trigger for a whole fuel tank and not even break into a sweat. SO good!! I know people say its a lot of money but its on low production runs. There is no doubt that it enables one to cut more hedge for less effort per hour, therefore daily production will improve. Money very well spent!! 👍👍👍 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    I think I heard that the battery does about 2.5hrs. I think I've got a 64gb card in mine. Could be wrong. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    I just had to make several shots to get into one tree. First shot the RK hit the BigShot head because I hadn't positioned it centrally in the pouch. Second shot, the throw line wrapped around the BigShot head because I was too close to the cube. Third shot hit the head again! Fourth went out to the side because I didn't aim well. The moral is to be slow an attentive. I was hurrying, chatting and not paying attention. The next tree I concentrated and got the first shot, perfect. Using one cone of the RK ensures the climb line pulls through the tree without getting snagged. Love it. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Gerbutt, I did at first but now I don't. Just keep mindful of how to improve technique. Also like Dan Curtis said. I had pumped arms at first as I tried to leave my DdRT technique behind. It takes a while but the rewards are worth it.

    Yes I always wear my watch all the time Royal Oak Offshore - Royal Oak Offshore - Audemars Piguet - Brands because it goes very well with my Rolls Royce Phantom.

    Best solution ever! You could apply the same system to other jobs: Why buy expensive track mats for a Boxer. Lawn protection when dropping logs etc. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Thanks for replying. It made perfect sense to me, I was just curious about risk. Obviously a great system. Looks like you guys use cranes a fair bit there because I saw a photo once of Nik removing some Leylandii next to the road, with a crane. If you see him, tell him to be better at being in touch.

    The CMI looks good but is a great big lump compared to a Pantin. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  17. Old Mill Tree Care
    Excellent!

    Why was a guy riding the hook for each pick, or was it just the first pick? A man on the hook just increases the risk IMO. Do you know Nik Carre by any chance? Nik and I worked together in Barbados many years ago.

    What is this saw like Ian? Has it had much use by you? I'm considering a change.

    I'd do the cab in silver. It wouldn't look at all like an army it council truck. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    A Pantin is possibly the best thing I ever bought (apart from expensive Rum & Vodka) and can be used with any climbing system. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Curse you Blaisey for bringing this thread back up again! I'd have to sell both feet to afford one though. Hold on, if I had a Boxer, I wouldn't need to walk............. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
