Well isn’t that lovely of you! Thanks. It’s only half fixed but I’m not sure you’re ready for the explanation just now. Have you gone back to drinking?

Yesterday. Did actually do some work from about 11:00. Someone else had done a load of climbing earlier in the week to get the machine hire down to one day. 21 tonnes of beech standing up (and about the same weight of telehandler). Ganoderma, brackets, getting soft in the butt and a little above the crown break but no real voids yet. Caught early by vigilant tree owner and regular drill and resistograph tests. From tree, back to watching other people work. 4.2 tonne bit below the crown break. One little bit below that was less. Machine lift capacity is 5 or 6 tonnes close in. And back to watching. Blowing and loading logs in this instance.

Not throw it on my road. Details down to you.

Gotcha. I’ve done similar. Cut your side and maybe a bit under. Then power through the strip left on the far side.

What do you do for drop-it-flat cuts? I either slash if I have enough saw or rig because there’s almost certainly a line there anyway. I’ve done a few step cuts and got away with them. Have done those square post cuts once or twice but clearly I don’t love them because I’d do them more if I did.

Has anyone ever seen Svat and Stefan in the same room?

I’m authentic like that.

Answering more seriously, mornings are for quiet. I was only on that because I’d already been in the car for an hour, was having a good run and had warmed up on some Ani DiFranco. You might well be surprised to discover I like Ani DiFranco, she being a Trump-hating, pro-wog, pro-bender, feminist icon and me being… actually the same now I think about it. Nearly. Or maybe it’s because we were once only moderately distantly related. I remember her turning up to my uncle Allan’s funeral in a leather jacket with lizards for epaulettes. Coolest thing I’d ever seen.

The whole sandwich was a waste of everything to be honest. Mum’s always been able to take the choicest ingredients and assemble them into a really dry, mediocre product. Not being ungrateful of course. Saved me making it.

I saw someone throw a fag out of a car window just now. First thought was killing them.

I listened to about an hour of myself on Spotify on the way to work today. It really gave me a sense of my own importance.

Honestly can’t work out what you’re driving at. Took a video to clarify my previous. IMG_4976.MOV

I still don’t want one.

You can’t touch me. I’m inclusive.

Anyway. You know what's better than all of this tut? A crane. And you know what's better than a crane? Standing on the floor watching a grapplesaw do the first 70% of the job. That's tomorrow. I'll be cross if I break a sweat doing anything heavier than shutting my wallet.

Bow only to reason.

Three strand bridge, Protos and comms, Husky Classics. A blend of battle hardened wisdom and cutting edge technology. Mick Dempsey is the Universal Soldier.

And in real terms, if success and failure in negative rigging is coming down to a few inches of pre-tension or belly reel-in that a Hobbs might give over a dumb bollard, you're too close to the edge. Do it a different way.

Underappreciated post of the thread. The other half of it could easily be that the UK isn't the PNW. We have shorter, spreadier trees, two inches above sheds. Lifting makes a big difference here. Can you do it with a Hobbs? Yes. Would you rather do it with a sailing winch? I would. I've lifted bits of trees in the UK with: Fat groundsmen Loader Truck Petrol capstan Hobbs GRCS I've owned all of them at the same time. Besides a small advantage on constant heavy negative rigging, the GRCS does what the Hobbs does, and more, better. Cost isn't a factor. Buying new, if you can save $2500 for a Hobbs, you can save $3500 for a GRCS. There are also cheaper sailing winch devices than the GRCS. Second hand, I paid less for my GRCS than I did for my Hobbs. Addendum: No, I obviously haven't owned a fat man as a chattel. No, I don't want to read your leaflet about bullying.

Rational but gay.

I am extremely pleased to see products like that on the market.

That Dawinchi Hobbs lite is €3600.

The forked stick to slide the hitch up in the video on the other thread looked like a big help with one of those.

I trust he's also presented you with a shopping list?
