Seems like this is going on the bench for some new belts, they gave in 2 stumps from the end of the contract, we had already ground out about 20, oh and the exhaust fell off too! It never rains but it pours! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

It's got to be the MS026 for me, we still got one and it feels more solid than the 261. It would seem that recently Stihl have overspent on the aerodynamically designed body work and underspent on quality of manufacture. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I was literally only saying this on Friday to the guy I work with, the scariest part of the day is standing on the top of the ladders trying to catch the end of the lanyard. Once your tied in its all gravy. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I'd have repollarded it, the problem with leaving long skinny branches is they are likely to snap, especially as the tree grows and becomes more and more tip heavy. It's not a bad thin though, just be sure to get the spec spot on and then carry out the pruning as per the spec. Never be afraid to offer the customer advice, if they don't take it then that's their decision. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

It's more of a crown thin, although its not a great tree to reduce without it looking very bare at 30%. When in doubt do what is best for the tree, in 3 years time that one will want a cheeky little pollard unless you fancy reducing it with a cherry picker lol. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Lol, classic. The 10 pint mingers work just the same you know, the really bad ones might even make you vomit, apparently there are plenty of people that use that method to stay slim too, double whammy! It's a win, win. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

That is the most brilliant thought process I've ever read on here! Hahaha Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Thats totally me, prussiks and both ends. It works fine, cheap to replace and extremely versatile to find a good work position. I very nearly got a Zigzag, i even ordered it, but alas fate stepped in. A cambium saver is very useful, just a bog standard two ring one, although cheesmanator has got me perving over the multisaver.

Very good Cheesmanator, textbook CS41. You little tree ninja. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Great idea, you can never be to safe. I bet there are a few critics of the zigzag that are pissed you seem to have solved this unconfirmed 'issue' Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

You should do some arbtalk t-shirts personalised with company logos on. Everyone in the industry can have one then!!! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I can imagine, I've never had to work near live lines luckily, making a mistake could be quite shocking! (Sorry. Best I can do at the end of a week) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I must say I love your gear they have great designs, shame my boss thinks I'm making an attempt to advertise someone else's company and kicks up lol, maybe you should send him a freebie, then everyone on site will be in the arbtalk merchandise and he won't feel left out.

Haha, quality. Your poor little polo, obviously belongs to your better half, but does she know??? Lol. My boss used to use a Pug 106. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Oh yeah I love a spear cut when there's a clear drop zone, it's kind of the polar opposite of a rip cut though I guess. The only issue I can think of with the rip cut when reducing etc is its hard to judge just how far it will 'rip'. This means there's an element of uncertainty, just a thought.

Cheers guys, it was quite a few years ago I did mine, thought there may have been an inclusion since seeing as they appear quite popular. I think maybe I've never needed to use one hence the unfamiliarity. Surely you would only use it on dismantles, goes without saying??? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Round our way what really makes me laugh are the transit panel vans being loaded up through the side door and the rest strapped to the roof, what must the client be thinking? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Are rip or tear cuts taught on any of the NPTC's? I've never heard of them, just curious? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Your logic is undeniable, it's just the tone of your voice that makes me want to superglue my own ear holes up! You can borrow my gopro if you say please and buy me a cake. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Many, many lol's. classic Cheesmanator, go get him tiger. I have to concede that your rigging is pretty epic these days, we smashed that Chesnut without smashing anything else. Although I'm still a fan of knot less rigging, I find it oh so more peaceful. Lets practice our eye rolling tomorrow, you'll probably be best as your glasses make your eyes look really big haha!

Hahaha, there used to often be a fridge or washing machine sticking out the conifer pile on the Sutton at Hone road, but what with the price of scrap these days!!! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
