lockjack all the way buddy, although i do use my hitch climber often now as not had it long, but i grew up with pulley hitches. then about 7 years ago i bought my lockjack its everything i need and more. only seen videos on the spiderjack so can't comment but they do lookcool to use.

well if you've seen vid mate then not much else to show but saying that with any versatile pulley as good as that i'm sure theres hundreds of combos

Have you ever been there when a tree has failed naturally ?
Adam Bourne replied to Arbgirl's topic in Tree health care
I was working in a local manor park about 8 years ago removing dead wood from on old chestnut about 3 maybe 4 trees away was a twinned stemmed sycamore there had been no rain fall and no wind it was mid summer and one limb had just collapsed while we were having dinner. the owners first thought we had done it:confused1: but then realised what had happened, we call this a summer limb drop were i come from, very rare but caused from previous high winds weakening the structure of the two limbs, then as summer comes and the tree is in full foliage it can not take the weight, pretty amazing to see lucky we parked under a different tree for lunch:blushing: -
Sorry a took it down but that was not my decision, just doing my job, as for the species, there a many sub-species of black poplar maybe it is a canadensis or even a cultivar never the less its been classed as a sub-speicies of black poplar, i'm not going to question the consultant about what true species it is or why he had put it down as a black poplar but i was just adding some photos for you all to share not to get in a debate about the dam thing:sneaky2:
-
i work for my self testcricketo1 but this was a sub-contracting job for a firm in wisbeach and yes sam i'll have plenty of work for you to do soon mate. just to clarify it was a black poplar originally thought to be a balsam poplar but arb report says populus nigra one of the last in wisbeach apparently .
-
cheers sam shame you wasn't there mate.

no i agree photos don't to it any favours but its been measured at 114.6 feet by local arb consultant 1 month before take down before the shot over the house was taken there was approx 35ft taken from it if this helps you scale it up more.
-
About 115ft from January 2011 just received the photos so thought i'd shre with you if this works that is.

I've always climbed on one line unless i'm cable bracing, 2 lines worked with the hitcher climber is so easy moving from limb to limb but i'm like the rest of the guys if you been told to,then you got to do it, if you feel the need then do it, its all personnel preference and being safe. a safe climber always wears stockings and suspenders.... as for 2 lines being dangerous NO don't see how that's possible.

hi mate how much would you charge for coming to lincolnshire. (don't laugh we do have some trees and some big ones to.) i do a lot of subby work and have 12 years exp, would love someone to help us out now and then. -
i've been wearing stihl hiflex type c now since they first came out but every pair i've had the zip seems to go, they burn easy and just wear out far to quick, i've always wanted a pair of stretchairs but just always seem to stick with the stihl, sounds like a bad relationship i just carn't find the heart to say goodbye. ;-)
