    Little tickle from today, I'm not exactly sure why the work was carried out but around 1m to 2m in places, some areas of the tree where a couple of feet and less. Didn't get a full before shot but 1/3 of the way at least lol The left hand side has been started the front facing us is unfinished then some top and right hand side and back. From in the tree. Partial bit of the top and front face done. And complete all bar some deadwood removal and a couple of hangers. And a few shots from around the crown and base.

    I'm trying to find the picture when we had a setup at frjones show couple years back, but I'm sure we had it on cougar at some stage with beeline 4wraps buddy
  11. Adam Bourne
    Haha! I'd imagine that would create a little attention down the motorways
  12. Adam Bourne
    Well said that man, totally agree. But then saying that I wouldn't want something that only does 8 mpg. Haha

    To be fair to your loler inspector he is well within reason to fail it. 2 way isn't used in our industry anymore, little similar to climbing on screw gates. The only way round it would be to get a 3way. IME they're just as easy to operate.

    I've had beeline on cougar with the wrench Pete, runs sweet as.
  15. Adam Bourne
    How many wraps you tried mate?
  16. Adam Bourne
    Plenty mate, 4's a little crowded, you start getting in each other's ways!!
  17. Adam Bourne
    Now you have my full attention Pete, I caught a glimpse of one picture the other night on Facebook, but that setup looks sweet. Thanks for posting mate
  18. Adam Bourne
    Do you have a little play in between the HH and the crossover of the hitch mate or do you have it set really close?
  19. Adam Bourne
    I still use my 2 way ISC snap gate mate, probably not advisable but I can't think of a single time it's ever come off!!
  20. Adam Bourne
    Good post Benn, I remember the video, good stuff and all relevant mate

    Joe, Surely by the time they've sent the rope back up to you and you've set the rigging line back up and ready to go 2 guys have cut up and or moved the last piece out the way?? There's nothing wrong with negative rigging at all if it's done correctly, it's no more time consuming than chogging a stem down in manageable bits!. If I was chogging down then the size of my timber would depend on the size of my drop zone. A bit like this video. It's far more less time consuming and less time on the saw on spikes and the timber can be dealt with far my easier on the floor! Rigging would be similar but I would expect the groundys to be cutting the piece up on the floor while I was setting the next piece up. I will negative rig when needed not just where I see fit.
  22. Adam Bourne
    That's what I'm saying joe, you wouldn't rig down a spar unless you totally needed to! It's not about saving time.
  23. Adam Bourne
    And not to mention that negative rigging the spar is done for a reason for what ever it may be! You wouldn't do it when it's not necessary.
  24. Adam Bourne
    It's come on well, it gets the attention it needs when necessary, and it helps which is what it's main aim was so thank you. I've been meaning to put this video in here, it was a little tip tie rigging on a hybrid poplar a month or so ago. The video shows the main setup but misses an important part out which was the pre tension of the limb itself. When I get a chance I'll do something a little similar but with a bit of explanation while I'm doing it. I think the main reason I never spoke so much in the video was due to the fact that I had the waterproof back on the camera and not the skeleton back.. Anyway here it is again.
