    Cool Rich and thanks for pushing the CB. (I've only used tachyon on one tree with a Spiderjack many years ago). Loving the Cougar Blue. NO BOUNCE!
  2. Old Mill Tree Care
    Ok that makes sense. Thanks.
  3. Old Mill Tree Care
    I'd hate to use cougar blue for DdRT climbing but it's da bomb for an SRT system. The Americans rate Tachyon as the best for the BDB.
  4. Old Mill Tree Care
    At least he's not on an SRT system at that point because as we keep getting told, if you cut your rope you'll fall! Lol!

    Isn't the Calamine as stretchy as Poison HiVee and Ivy? I don't know squat so it's a genuine question.
  6. Old Mill Tree Care
    Get down the gym son! That chestie is lifting your chestie nicely! Haha!

    You take a break?! Northern slackers. We haven't had a break since 1998!
  8. Old Mill Tree Care
    Always delighted to help.
  9. Old Mill Tree Care
    Nice.

    It has Expert in the name so it's sure to be fine Ger. If you're unsure, close your eyes before you apply your weight to it! That's what I always do anyway. Lol!

    I have not used Kernmaster and recently got a 60m Cougar Blue. I was pretty surprised how static it feels but I'm really glad I chose it. Bought it from Treeworker.

    I'm not into diggers but saw this today on a lake side whilst out walking. I noticed the tracks are variable width.
  13. Old Mill Tree Care
    Hasn't budged from anything and I've used it on all sorts of things, even the chipper hopper!
  14. Old Mill Tree Care
    That's very good advice as an option but I wouldn't do that either. I'd buy a Bandit HB20, sub out the big stuff to Stumpbusters, or similar, the buy a Carlton 7015 in a couple of years if there is demand for it. (Also depends upon access to most jobs.

    I would do it exactly the same way as if the injured climber was using a DdRT system. He's still only on one rope with a hitch system. The only difference is that the rope isn't doubled over.
  16. Old Mill Tree Care
    Good thing you phoned him and didn't email him. Lol!
  17. Old Mill Tree Care
    There must be one somewhere, surely.
  18. Old Mill Tree Care
    Not necessarily! One should always have a sturdy work position facilitated by a correctly installed lanyard. Also, both hands should be firmly gripping the saw in the correct manner. Therefore, if one inadvertently cuts ones main line, a long fall will be avoided. 'Cos we always work like that. Innit!

    I got a Quicklode which is like the old Paslode. My decision was price based because fencing is not the core of what we do. It's fired about 35k nails and no problems at all. I'd recommend it.
  20. Old Mill Tree Care
    In my mind SRT stands for Stationary Rope Technique because the rope doesn't move. It's either tied to the top or the bottom of the tree. Simple.
  21. Old Mill Tree Care
    Does anyone know of a woodchip tip in that area? I'm aware of the KPS site at Pease Pottage. Thanks.
  22. Old Mill Tree Care
    I've had two different chippers make holes in hedges when unhitched facing up hill. 'Twas quite a surprise.
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    No but I'm sure Swingdude will be along soon and he's got some.
  24. Old Mill Tree Care
    I used it for the first time today on tall lime trees. Swingdude did a good job on this. It's simple and fits by sitting in the right place. It's not revolutionary of course but it is actually a lot better than fig8 tape loop. It stays put and is comfier when clipped in. Recommendable and when Swingdude moves to England in April (the mad fool!) it'll be dead easy to get one. Thanks for it Paul!

    Except the main body and top shackle. I used mine for 8.5 years although I was brickin' it for the last several months on it.
