    Adam, have you used your HH on Cougar Blue as well? If so, which hitch cord and knot? Thanks.
  2. Old Mill Tree Care
    I've got some 8mm Liros but can't remember which one. I found HRC to be absolutely dire.

    5, 6 & 7 wraps. No braids as standard, one braid, two braids. Almost exactly the same on all. Pete, I haven't tried the two with out the HH but can only imagine the same. I've checked the HH for excessive wear and looks ok to me. Confused. At this rate I'll have to buy a MEWP.

    The Beeline was like this after roughly 20 metres of descents. Not sure how the photo looks to you guys but it's actually glazed. Also, no fast descents because that's impossible after 10"!

    I'm setting loose, slightly loose, tight, tight as a muthafu##a and anything everywhere in between.

    I've started using 10mm Beeline on Cougar Blue and it just binds up after a 3ft decent. I'm trying different hitch knot configurations but nothing's working. Any ideas? Thanks. It's driving me crazy!

    Ford F-150 Raptor Hennesey is the right one to choose because it has the most horse power.
  8. Old Mill Tree Care
    I'd go back to the day before I decided to do tree work. Then I'd decide to do something else.
  9. Old Mill Tree Care
    No. I don't run any top handled saws on Aspen because the exhaust is generally blown away from the operator. Of course I know it's better for the engine too.

    Well if your considering a Lockjack, why are you posting on the SRT Forum? Anyway, I'd recommend the Hitch Hiker for many reasons that tick all the boxes for my requirements. Other will have other opinions because there are so many devices on the market now, choice is a very personal thing depending upon what suits your style.

    It's just over a year old. I bought it from Skyland Equipment who have been superb with after sales service. I've had phone calls and messages from them just trying to help out with the rattling problem. I also mentioned that the rear AV spring was bending and hey-presto, a stronger replacement arrived in the post. I've said it before, I always seriously consider customer support when I'm about to spend money and Skyland come out 10/10.
  12. Old Mill Tree Care
    Yep. I bought one years ago and two Tempur pillows. Money well spent.

    I agree, you never know when the client may appear with a cup of tea!
  14. Old Mill Tree Care
    I know hahaha! I almost didn't put that post up because it's embarrassing. Lol!

    So I greased the needle bearing and the rattle has gone. Hooray! BTW, I really like my t540. It doesn't start as easily as my 200T but otherwise I think it's great. I have not used a 201t.

    If you mean spiking on the pole for the final part of a dismantle then yes, choke your main line round the stem and use your lanyard or flip line to position yourself.

    Not that Stubby. The original bar was made from porridge and lasted three minutes. The new Oregon bar has made no difference to chain tension and I've tried three different types of chain.
  18. Old Mill Tree Care
    Well that's the annoying thing. The chain on my saw tightens and loosens itself when ever it feels like it. Some days not at all. The next day, ten times damn it! The chain is hardly ever at the correct tension and I have no control over it.
  19. Old Mill Tree Care
    Yes it is only on idle.
  20. Old Mill Tree Care
    Trailer places sell those things Al. However, I'd save time and money by easing the lads finger through the hole to stop the wheel falling off. Apply Vaseline first though otherwise some would regard you as cruel. (Being bent over all day will strengthen his back so it's all good!)
  21. Old Mill Tree Care
    TP do them as well but I'd get a Bandit, given the choice.
  22. Old Mill Tree Care
    Did that two weeks ago and you're right, it was silent. Clutch springs looked ok at a glance but I'll look again, carefully.
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    I forgot to say that it's intermittent. Can work for a few hours then suddenly starts rattling like hell, or just a bit. Makes no sense. Just greased the needle bearing and see what happens.
  24. Old Mill Tree Care
    Here is a better video of the rattle. It sounds like there is a bit of metal from a beer can inside! http://youtu.be/K7zyLIuEp5A
  25. Old Mill Tree Care
    My saw started rattling a while ago. Can't find the source of the noise. Here's a video of it but you have to listen carefully, it's much worse in the flesh. I'll post a better vid later when I've uploaded it to YouTube. Any ideas? http://youtu.be/emn5uzKYCOI
