    Mmm. Difficult to choose. I'm in a hurry so don't have time to get a sling spliced to a Pinto Rig so I'll be using a karab whichever i choose.

    Cool. ASAP please.

    Iveco seem very popular. Depending on your budget look at Stephen Blair's Iveco. Bargain. Wish I could afford it.

    Have you worked out what it costs every month over two years? I think after using one you'll buy one. I did and it's the best value for money piece of kit I ever bought. Best money I ever spent.

    What's most popular? I need to get another pulley and can't decide on the ISC swing cheek or the DMM Rig. It's to be used as another re-direct as my DMM Impact pulley does the scary stuff. I have one ISC swing cheek already but just wondered if the DMM Rig might be a good option. Thanks.

    You should start another thread on that. Brilliant. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Quite a few of us would be interested in your thoughts on the Protos whilst working in the heat. You could post on this thread: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/52221-protos-arborist-helmet.html because since I got mine and started the thread the weather has been cold.

    oh, i was referring to redirects. Sorry, my mistake.

    Ewan, what do your hands do? Do they go hand over hand above the RW?

    Bottom roller bearing on my chipper crumbled yesterday at 1pm. Called Charles at Arbrep and took it over to him. 4hrs later it was fixed and ready to go. Awesome service as usual:thumbup: For those of you that don't know him Charles is a real 'fixer' and his answer to everything is "Yes, won't be problem". He's South African so doesn't believe in winging and complaining. Arbrep Services - Woodchipper Parts, Repairs and Maintenance - Hampshire UK

    This is a good video with a good simple set up. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSHt_gijntM]HHRW - Hitch Hiker Rope Walker - YouTube[/ame]

    This also works and is a simplified version, less gear involved. It works exactly the same with a RW. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSHt_gijntM]HHRW - Hitch Hiker Rope Walker - YouTube[/ame]

    It makes sense to me Worcs but does the tug line need to be so long? I clip my chest harness straight into my harness bridge sometimes but usually to the HH. When I used RW I clipped the chest harness into the HC pulley. What do your hands do with this system? Do you just hand over hand on the rope above the RW?
  18. Old Mill Tree Care
    Yes I do it all the time but I use a small oval Maillon to clip the Butterfly and the work side of the rope together.

    Thanks Wolter. I realise it's not a replacement but I only need two top handled saws which means I can't get the 536 until my 200t or Echo dies. Maybe someone will buy the Echo. Thanks.

    Whatever you do, dodge a Transit. Worse than useless!

    Someone mentioned on an earlier post that the thought of having to tie a stopper knot puts them off because the HH can't be used with eye2eye. A few people have mentioned this on The Treehouse but then come back and said it's no biggie. I don't think it's an issue, it's only one knot to tie because the other one stays in place permanently. Also as previously mentioned the HH is very hitch sensitive so being able to 'tune' the hitch to suit the feeling you like could be seen as advantageous by some, irritating by others. Quite fun being able to tweak it though and you can adjust it on the wet days when everything feels a bit sticky.
  22. Old Mill Tree Care
    Agreed. 'Sporty' hitches are madness in the work environment IMO. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Thank you but DMc is really the best person as he's been using one a lot longer than me and did the R&D on the HH. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Yes it was Red, just factually incorrect. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I hear you Ewan but I find the above comment odd because on several threads I've stated that I don't regard the HH to be better than RW or any other device, just different and it suits me better. Mentioning the HH numerous times doesn't mean I'm saying its better. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
