    I've got a long reach Echo and it's really good but not robust enough for cutting thick stuff.

    Keep your knees away from the tree. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Oh please someone buy it from him to put me out of my misery by removing the temptation!

    You're never gonna sell it Blair. I hope not anyway so that a year from now you'll be so desperate you'll accept my disgraceful offer.

    I'd suggest the smallest saw that will be adequate otherwise you'll get angry at having to lug around the extra weight. Also, Stihl X-Fit trousers because they are nice and tight. Sorry.

    On second thoughts, as I mostly do Featheredge fencing, is this model an overkill?
  8. Old Mill Tree Care
    I found one in a shop today for £470. With two batteries, charger and all in a case. That's a good price right or is it an over priced model and you'd recommend something else?

    Keep up Stumpy. He has a full time job now.:thumbup1:

    Range Rover Vogue or Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Transits etc are completely useless. I know this because I have a Transit.

    Right on! I don't think gun laws would make any difference unless we can line up the morons and shoot them. Maybe Stalin was a nutter but maybe he had some good ideas too. His mistake was going too far. If he'd stopped at just disposing of fools, scum and idiots, he'd probably be ruling the world now. He'd get my vote.

    Just came across this on The Treehouse. I still horses for courses though. so long as it's a HH:laugh1: http:http://masterblasterhome.com/showthread.php?16581-Hitch-Hiker-or-Rope-Wrench

    WorcsWuss, if you look closely at my HH and a photo earlier in the thread you'll notice a piece of black plastic on the bottom of the HH. I clip my stein tool biner onto that and my chest harness is a Lyon sling Fig8 across my shoulder. My black piece of plastic is cut from some Cobra. DMc used a rubber horse shoe. Others are using a bit of stiffened cord. All works perfect or clip straight to the ring on the bridge. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    ??? Not sure what you mean about something to tend it. What do you use to tend your RW? RW & HH will tend if you clip on cheat harness or LOTS. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Yes you're right BenR. I didn't have the hitch set quite right and it was gripping a bit too much. As said before the HH is super hitch sensitive and it takes a while to figure out what works for you. Sliding the HH up the rope is the technique I used with my zk1 so it's stuck with me. I'd love to hear another point of view though. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    No mate, that's the whole point. You don't grip the rope. I hold it for balance while standing on the Pantin and/or branch. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Mmmm. Here is a photo of the screen after I click on Settings. Nowhere is the word Notifications. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    As good as a RW i would say in all honesty. But better than a RW for me. Yes, left foot Pantin.
  21. Old Mill Tree Care
    Why? I'm not using my arms to do much. If you think that SRT climbing is all about the arms, you have no comprehension of what it is. When climbing on a single line, you use your leg muscles mostly, hence the necessity of a Pantin, as has been mentioned on numerous occasions on the other SRT related threads.

    How long have you had it? Are you still on DdRT??
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    So you say:confused1: Come on Steve, you know I'm suicidally useless at this stuff. You have to spell it out to me. I did click More. Then I clicked Settings. Then I looked at everything but couldn't see anything obvious. If it's not obvious, I won't get it. Sorry Resident dummy.
  24. Old Mill Tree Care
    Me too. Not yet though as my MS200 just keeps going and going and my Echo has hardly been used (because it's beyond awful & I hate it!).
  25. Old Mill Tree Care
    Hopefully it works now. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH1_3GYc6Mo]Williams Oak 30113 - YouTube[/ame]
