    I've been in a Dragonfly for years and really rate it. Have not used the Petzl. I'll be replacing my Dragonfly with a TM as I'm finding the seat annoying since I started climbing SRT. It's purely a personal thing and no use to you probably, sorry.

    I like the look of that for balancing branches but no way I would snatch blocks off with it. $99 or two steel karabs? Mmmmm?

    People think that what we charge is what we have in our pockets at the end of the year. Why do they think this? No business operates that way!

    Out o interest Silky, when you're on Ivy covered trees do you sever it? Is it part if the job spec or does the surveyor ignore it? If it's not on the spec do you sever it anyway? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Well done Alex. Don't expect it to revolutionise your climbing straight away, there won't be a Eureka moment but if you're patient and persevere a couple of weeks you'll reap the rewards and love it. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I buy local when ever I can but my dealers don't stick everything I need. I'll happily pay a touch more to support a local shop. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    For that very reason the bow and arrow should be used on people who steal things from us!

    Just Googled again and it seems to be the Hitachi Quickload NRG gc90. Is that what you got? Nr90Gc2 Gas First Fix Framing Nailer Nail Gun Plus 1100 Free Nails 4966376153565 Nr90Gc2

    Muttley, is the Hitachi called a Quickload? I just found a Paslode in the small town I live in! I went to look yesterday and he also sells Quickload but had none in stock. I got home and Googled Quickload and got pictures of the Hitachi.

    Can I tick three boxes Steve because three apply to me?

    What you all talking about? Looks like my Mog did and I got £15k for it! :lol:

    Nice Vid. I would have just lowered the sections off with the pulley block positioned up above. No shockload on the gear, much safer.

    You don't have time to Google it after all the time you spend Googling Sauce for the TV Girls thread.

    The problem was with the curved blade on the Silky, obviously.

    Trust you to think that Goaty. You've just come from the TV Girls thread haven't you.

    [quote name=WorcsWuss;832684 The alternative' date=' which would help both up and down, is a lighter line. As much as I enjoy fiddling, fettling and problem solving, this is all just highlighting how much I really want a big shot! [/quote] A lighter line will make more of a difference than you think. Get a Big Shot dude! It's one of those things that seems a lot of money but as soon as you use it the first time you'll hate yourself for not buying one ages ago. It saves me SO much time on every job it's been money VERY well spent.

    When you find out what the problem is, let me know so that I can make my Transit do the same.

    The bearing feels ok. I lifted up the top roller today and there was no movement at all. Is yours an A540 as well Dave?
  20. Old Mill Tree Care
    Thanks for posting this Paul. That seals the deal for me because I can't throw for sh1t. I use the BigShot for everything over 35ft and if the branch is under that I throw my Highball like a ball, funnily enough. As mentioned on another thread, I've found the Highball effective because it's much more accurate than a throw bag but if it hits a branch on the way up it bounces like a mutha. Not always a bad thing though. Do I want a RopeKnight? Yes! Will I get one? Don't know. Sadly it's still a lot of dosh and I can't see that it can make me more profitable although I do agree with every one of Thomas' arguements for the advantages. It will surely make life easier though and that is the benefit lies for me. If I ever get that spare money lieing around I'll get one.

    Like your style

    Thanks Stubby but that's not the problem. I'm now wondering if the angle is supposed to be like that, at rest, but I can't figure out how the rollers are hitting because they fit on the shafts with a key. ????????

    Does your A540di top roller look like this, at this angle? The problem doesn't appear to the angle actually but the left side of the top roller is hitting the bottom roller. It's just been apart for bottom roller replacement. The top roller mounting is siting correctly on the stops on both sides. Why are the rollers hitting when they weren't before?

    That's disgusting. Coppers should be ashamed of themselves. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
