whole heartedly agree there, greenmech chippers are way down the list for me. no likey at all:thumbdown:
-
I have a tree motion and also the skinniest legs on the planet and i dont have any problems with riding. ahem i mean the leg loops riding up:001_rolleyes:
-
No i was too embarrassed Its just the same as this except lying on the ground half way down the slope instead of in the groove. there was old stumps and bushes to stop them so i wasnt so fussed about it anyway.

First time i tried this cut today and it works a treat:thumbup1: i also tried it a second time just for the hell of it and messed it right up:blushing: i am glad this one (the important one, note house at bottom of banking) worked. The reason my second one didnt work was because it was a pole and it jumped right out the groove so i learned that with poles you need to be very careful at trusting this one. The one that worked was also a pole but luckily didnt jump as much as the second. I know this is common with bench felling but i have never used it and thought i would give it a go.... What you think, good method to keep a tree on the hinge or not?
-
thats an old one mate and also not true unfortunately.
-
go work elsewhere (for yourself) and tell your boss you will do his tree work if ever he gets any

Welcome and good luck -
About 38" thick oak done with 460 with 20" bar. Not the best but not bad either, even if i do say so myself:001_tt2: Reason the gob was so big was that it was a pole and not the whole tree, before i get a ribbing for it:sneaky2:
-
Good point but it looks like its only above 1 shoulder so he could technically get away with it on a 50:50 basis. Although i still wouldnt have used it in the first place.
-
To me yes if it was the only way to reach it. But i would have been more tempted to use a silky, with a branch so small, or even a silky pole saw and you could have reached it even easier. Ways and means to get around it mate, dont think i would even have taken chainsaw up that tree to be honest.

I would say you were more the top floor of a tenement building, very tall where all the heat gathers but you have a real dirty stair well :lol:
-
dont know, i use my other rope (yale xtc) when its wet to keep the imori in good nick:blushing: One day i will get caught out in a downpour when i am climbing with the imori and then i will tell you...
-
Looks can be deceiving it seems, woke up and it was raining, by the time i got in the car it was a good day and stayed like that:thumbup1: Maybe you shouldnt eat 400 sandwiches per day then so your body doesnt need to burn so much:001_rolleyes:
-
yea very tight. i tried counting them but got lost after 130 because they were so close together, my guess is 180 to 200 years old that lump. Shame it was to come down but i gave it a cuddle before i killed it:001_rolleyes:
-
There is for sure 2 nails in it but i dont think they are deep, there was a few lights attached to it but all those nails were short and came out easy as i was going up. Should make some real nice boards i think
-
Imori for me. self tends with the sj very easy and its nice to pull as it feels thicker than it is. Real nice soft rope.
-
Here you go mate, thats what it looks like. Came down nice but completely destroyed the guys lawn. Looks like a 1000lb bomb went off under the log All sound and very heavy with 1 or 2 nails near the base i noticed so watch out for them, it looks like they tried to pull them out before but broke the heads off in the process. I left it a bit longer than you wanted i think so just cut off what you dont need and leave it there, we have to go back to tidy up whats left of the brash mat we put in the target zone but looking at how soft the lawn was i guess we might have to dig them out:001_rolleyes:
-
been good the last few days here just a bit windy, tomorrow looks like its going to be wet till about midday though.
-
happened to me yesterday but thats all
-
I think it slips on a flipline... i saw someone using one on a flipline and it was constantly slipping. May just have been needing the cam replaced but if i was you i would check up on it before using it on a flipline.
-
that truly is a cracking looking table
-
Got my fingers in a couple of pies but i couldnt tell you in case you stole them from me:001_tt2: Only joking but i wouldnt want to name anyone on here in case they would get upset about it, not that i think they would but its not for me to say. If you want to pm me your number i can pass it on if you like:thumbup1:
-
What happened exactly? was it while taking the top out of it and it split? I always put my flipline on the centre bridge for taking out the top, that way if the tree splits then it stops at your bridge instead of making you part of the link. Never wanted my guts pushed up and out my mouth, or for that matter down and out my... well thats enough of that!
-
Eh? i have never thought of you like that:001_tt2: Chill dude i am just having a laugh
-
Ah ok i was getting confused by which thread you were talking about:blushing: You told me in another thread (original post for this fungi) that it was Mycena pura var. pura. so i just assumed that was it until you threw some doubt in my head there... I need to rest my weary (just had root treatment) head:help: Now i need to go find another pic but it can wait till tomorrow.
