Cheers Ewan, looks handy. Think I briefly bumped into you in the HB stand at the APF, with Tom, right?
-
Very nice Jay. Not a lot of people round here want to pay for "that little off".
-
At first I thought it was an inspired idea. Then I realised it was s lot more expensive than a figure eight.
-
Is there fuel in it?
-
Thought your last video was "your last video"? Nice to see a different side of tree work filmed. Cheers for posting!

The friction in a closed rope system (ddrt) can be moved (displaced) from one point to another. The friction being the force necessary to hold the climber's weight up. In a system where a natural crotch is the anchor point, the crotch will be taking say 40% of the friction, and the hitch the remainder, 60%. By using a pulley as a top anchor you are displacing almost all friction at the anchor, to the hitch, which will be taking the full weight of the climber. Hence why you burn out hitch cord faster with a pulley anchor. The percentages are obviously just to make a point, not factual.

No clue mate, was half cut and stumbled on it at half 12. Seemed pretty amateur but a good watch nonetheless. Was on free view if that's an indicator...
-
I got it mate, wasn't the point I was getting at though. It's a fair price for the work, providing you're reasonably productive and can do a couple of jobs like that a day.

Watched the Israeli one last night. Couple of good fights. One surprising title fight.

Never reduced or eliminated, just displaced, Paul.

Are you saying that's too cheap? 300-350 isn't bad for 4 hours work! That's what I'd be figuring! 2 of them in a day, minus 120 for a damn good groundy, I'd be happy with that!
-
Just spitting on it doesn't work in this case mate.
-
"Cleaning crabs" and "oral irrigators" Christ lads are you baiting me?
-
I do this to all my new saws as standard...
-
That's nice mate, I'm happy for you. Can we get back to chipper maintenance now?
-
I would have thought that greasing the sliders just helped bits of chip stick in there more?
-
It's gonna be a walk in the park compared to most tree work. I'd be tempted to stick to day rate and cherish the easier work!
-
As long as you keep the chain out the dirt full chisel will cut faster.
-
Cutting dirty wood or at high risk of foreign objects perhaps. Apart from that I don't see a point really.
-
Is the slic pin type thing attached Ewan? Reckon I'd drop it quite a lot!
-
Semi chisel doesn't stay sharp any longer, it's just less noticeable when it gets blunt...
-
This is horrific!!! rouge traders "tree surgeons"

You misunderstood me Ian. Since switching to man porn I barely touch myself, and that's what's cured it. I understand that some people just need an excuse though. Knock yourself out.

It'd be a deal breaker for me. On a par with cup holders. People get too hung up on capacity, towing power etc. Either that or they over compensate and get a Mog...
