    Looked like the splice wasn't tight enough , mines never moved , the safebloc is a great tool , natural fork rigging burns the hell out of modern rigging lines !! If your still on 3 ply Manila then go for it )

    Although ddrt is useful in the odd job I don't see the bother to switch from SRT after ascent the sooner you climb SRT the more benefits from the system you'll come to see ... I've climbed solid since 97 , & switching 3 years ago is the best thing I've done .. 💪😀

    Stihl quotes more power , I thought the 661 a improvement on the 660 Would you say the 395 feels better to use than the stihl ?? Or just a faster saw ? Thanks

    I only got to the show @ 11am Friday so missed the SRT talk , I filled in the form concerning SRT rope & anchor choices last time I was wondering what conclusions they had come to & what the industry had come to regarding SRT use within the industry?? Thanks john

    Its very similar to a falconer knot we use to tether hawks on perches but with extra daisy chaining ,👍

    Cheers , not many of these trucks about tho ) The 50c doesn't seem that big ,
  18. johnanderton
    What sort of carry capacity would the 50c do ?? I've seen them with boxes & that took up to much chip space thanks

    Level playing field ?? Your kidding yourselves.. my local council uses two contractors both using mog's running ag & red diesel for tree work , A major construction firm I quote for I've been passed over on 3 job in last 6 months to a farmer tree crew , tractors coming 50 miles + doing tree work , red diesel/ ag Reg ... this is the reality of what we have to complete against ...

    Good article on trucks & weights
  23. johnanderton
    My loler guy charged £35 per kit , Which I think is fairly reasonable..
