Great saw , do you know how to sort the issue of starting when the chain brakes on ?? Grabby clutch! Etc

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 )

I've seen some on yew & it had a weird purple ting to it , I only eat the ones I find on oak ..

I stripped & got my tw150 powder coated a year or so ago , didn't do the fly wheel housing or chassis the weren't that bad , £300-£400 I should guess now .. then sticker set .. not too hard to strip .. we where doing the bearing /rotor & anvils so your half way there doing them

That site I've mentioned is really close to Blackrod... I'd just go there .. 👍

Tip site at this farm , on left , junction Rd west ... guys name is Jim , we tip clean chip & logs we don't want there .. he may change you ., we don't pay but have known him awhile now thanks john

Is there anything in the Izuzi range that carries good weight?

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

Hi John, that feedback was given to Ben and Noddy to feed through to the research they're undertaking. Thereafter it will feed through into the production of the industry technical guide for tree access and descent (hopefully due out by end 2017.)

 

 

 

Cheers, and thank you for the valuable feedback,

Thanks , great show & Westonbirt is a great place 👍, did the new skywalk & checked out some great trees ...

Hi Paul

 

Apologies for not saying hello on Friday, but you were a busy man.

 

I thought the layout was much improved, the pathway around the site helped with orientation and getting around.

 

Having the climbing comp kinda in the middle was a good idea.

 

The barn was a comfy venue for the SRT presentation.

 

Plenty to see and chat about.

 

ATF demo site was well manned and delivered.

 

Food and drink were aplenty and reasonable.

 

Good effort all round, well done.

 

 

.

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

definitely coming then

Ye I've took my dog before 👍, just the odd part of Westonbirt tree walks that don't let dogs in ..

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

Great video & setup 👍, you can see in the pic the basic principle..

John yes they do single cab 65c17 etc johnny walker used to have one thats why i know about them

Cheers , not many of these trucks about tho )

The 50c doesn't seem that big ,

What sort of carry capacity would the 50c do ?? I've seen them with boxes & that took up to much chip space thanks

Our 6 ton iveco is an excellent arb truck (the 3.5ton ones not so). Really we should all stop using the 3.5 tonners for most domestic arb.

 

The o licence I don't see as a major issue (but we have a yard), the regular independent inspections add a bit to the cost but ensure the truck in good order. The biggest issue to me is the drivers licence as C1+E required.

 

In the grand scheme £1500 + 4 or 5 days training doesn't seem much, but as an employer training staff who then might leave it adds up. Also if your driver leaves you then have a struggle to replace them.

 

Owner operator I think its a no brainer..

 

But you still need 2..

Do Iveco do a single cab 65/18 , ?

Spotted my first swallow 7 th April here in bolton, walked the dogs on our local marsh land & there was 20 or so yesterday along with some sand martins ...

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

My loler guy charged £35 per kit ,

Which I think is fairly reasonable..

I use this ring setup from sherrill ,

& use pulley's when lifting with grcs

Oak tree dismantle from this week , it lost a big limb late summer & smashed a double garage up !! .. Tpo lifted last week .. 6ton butt )
