I've bought a Treehog TH5000 for my son to do his CS38 but he hates it.

Fancy swopping and i'll give you the difference?

Bloody annoying when you buy something and its not quite right! So i haven't used the harness since gone back to my tree austria till i have time to go to honey bros and try some on.

Don't really want a tree hog to be honest but if you still want the harness make me an offer and you can have it! Only used 3 times its brand new still.

Don't think it can be a size too big as i bought the smallest size and i'm not that small! Starting to think it's just not the right fit/harness for me which is annoying as i've used it too much to send back. never mind lesson learnt.

Just bought myself a new harness and went with the stein vega plus but it seems like the bridge is mounted too high soo its pulling the back pad up high to my ribs and the legs loops sit too far into my crotch and catch my nuts a bit. Was wondering whether anyone else had this problem or any ideas to fix but doesn't seem to be any adjustments that can be done? or have i bought the wrong size? or more likely the wrong harness! Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks very much!

Customer rang yesterday about the large dead limbs on oak and found these brackets at the base when I turned up. quite a bit of white rot dust coming out the stem as well. Any ideas what it is?

Yeah I did hear that but yes cleaned them all out including fuel cans. other saws seem to work alright just the 200ts.

So thought I would try and be friendly to the polar bears and start using bio oil chain oil about 3 months ago after only ever using the normal Oregon oil.

I run a few 200t and use 1 every day and try and switch so they all get run over the week but this oil has blocked them up so many times I have used only about 10 litres out of a 25 litre barrel and have had to buy a new barrel of the old stuff its got that annoying. it looks like old engine oil or treacle with the consistency of water? or have I got a dodgy batch?

Usually at yard by 7.30 on site at 8 like to be finished most days between 2 and 3 in pub by 3.30. what's the point in working otherwise!

Thanks for your help the filter is the correct way round but a guy on here private messaged me that he had the same problem and it was the fuel line so i have replaced that and on closer inspection where the line was cable tied to the hydraulic hoses quite tight it had started to perish and fuel was leaking through guessing that was the problem. its working like new now! thanks again

thanks for all the replies. the ebay history I can't go back that far and yes I paid cash I did keep the guys number but believe it or not all of two weeks ago I threw my phone on a bonfire and lost all my numbers! so I was going to ring him and get a receipt. think I may take treequip idea sell it to a mate and buy it back sort of thing. thanks again

I have had my chipper for about a year and have been keeping it at home but now I have got a container on a farm so need to get insurance for it and my other tools. problem is I bought it off ebay, checked it hadn't been nicked and I foolishly didn't get a receipt for it. so if it were to get stolen the insurance company said I need to prove I actually own it. do I contact timberwolf for a proof of ownership certificate if they even do that? any thoughts much appreciated.

it is a genuine honda filter what do you mean by this may be the problem in what way? would it be a problem in how i have fitted it or something? thanks for your help.

sorry it was fine before service so when i changed fuel filter the problem started.

hi i have a 2008 machine bought it last year and got it serviced straight away to make sure all was well but it kept cutting out lack of fuel getting through thinking because an air block. so i blew some fuel through and this cured it after a while so i have serviced it again this year and same problem yet doesn't seem to be going away i think it works better with a full tank and will go all day once warm but once a third has gone and you start it cold in the morning it cuts out when you start chipping and the engine has to do some work. was told it was the fuel cap breather causing a vacuum but bought a new one still same problem! please help!

cheers for the input. had a test drive yesterday found the gears pretty stiff guessing they will loosen like you say. not as nicer drive as the new transits which are pretty much like a car and its going to be my only vehicle so will be in it every day don't want to regret buying it if its hard work driving. might just go mental get a mortgage on a landy 130 tipper!

hi all i am thinking of getting a new movano was wondering how you were getting on with yours? seeing as a brand new one is £5500 plus the vat cheaper than a transit feel silly not too!

not many people charging the same as me on here! sounds like there's some cheap climbers! stick to your guns you know your own worth. there are tight wads everywhere who expect everything for nothing! if you've got a couple of regulars look after them and it soon picks up.

i had 3 pairs of hiflex got sick of fixing them have had the same pair of stretch air gladiators for the last 18 months and there still fine one patch on the bum. way better value for money never had an issue with movement. will buy another pair when these finally die. never going back to hiflex! they are the type A though. which are cool inthe summer and i find plenty warm enough inthe winter. have had no problems whatsoever.

cheers everyone for your help looks like i only have one choice really! will have to get on to tree life i think they do a couple of courses nearish me. thanks again!!

Hello all im new to arbtalk and have been reading through old threads to find out about the tech cert online course and which is the best way to go.

Have applied to myerscough and then just read that they stitch you up with the curriculum and exams!! But then that thread was a couple of years old i think. Does anyone know if they have sorted themself out?

Also spoke to treelife a while ago but then found out they charge about 3 time as much as myerscough which i can't afford sadly as i have only heard great things about them!

Also read the course can be done all by yourself with the right reading material, available past papers and enough dedication. Can anyone help me on this subject would appreciate any response massively!

thanks duncan

hi im new to arbtalk but glad to see this post as i have just sent an application to do the distance learning tech cert at myerscough as i saw tree life are about 3 times more expensive. but obviously very good from what i hear. any one had experience of myerscough or the tech cert distance learning course?

Hi im freelance climber with all nptc tickets for climbing, insurance, own climbing kit, saws and transit tipper if anyone needs a climber in herts or beds let me know! thank you
