The Lumberjack beard: An efficient or inefficient piece of kit?
Joe Newton replied to AllTreeNeeds's topic in Large equipment
"I have a jug of sour goats milk, far stronger than that grape water you soft southern ***** like to suck on"... -
Hahaha you bastard.

That's how it starts. For the fifth birthday it's snorting coke from an escorts arse crack.

Half hitch and timber hitch/running bowline etc

Anything over 12" topper length gets the 20" 441 That said I'd love a topper with guts to pull a 14" Dempseys got me tempted with the upgrade kit.

Thanks for you reply Paul. My concern is that the AA promotes good arboricultural practices. It can be expensive and hard work to gain your endorsement, but it's arguably worth it in the long run. However when a video of this sort appears in the public domain, carried out by a company you've accredited, it completely nullifies everything that you as an association, and the companies who have proudly earned your accreditation are working towards.

Well don't get me wrong, there are few things worse than Big Brother, but you say that as though it's a good thing. What do you hope to earn for yourself (not net) in your 16 hour day? Do you have a family? Kids? Do your clients not mind a stump grinder going full whack at 20.00 when they're trying to enjoy a bottle of wine with Big Brother? I suppose they'd overlook it if it's half the price of the next quote.

The irony is strong with this one. If we can perhaps keep it civil we might stand a snowballs chance of running an interesting thread. Playground bickering is gonna sent it in the other direction.

I'll be interested to see how the AA handle this. Their scheme was something we looked into getting on. Lot of expense and jumping through hoops, but arguably worth it... ... Until you see a video of this type of work in the public domain performed by an Approved Contractor.

Me? Never As a subby climber those two saws tick pretty much all the boxes. I'm employed and still usually use my own saws through choice, as I know they'll be running and cutting well. My mid range climbing saw is a 441 on 20" I also have a 357 on 15" for ground work/small felling.
-
So for shedding or a chipper saw which one do you use?
-
Really? It's half worn!

My mistake, no single rotor heli could cope with that climbers bollocks.
-
I reckon with a winch, mewp, crane, heli, and a rescue climber it's doable..,
-
Are we all looking at the same tree here? Bunch of padding logs, pull line, fell it! If they don't want to pay for it, let it fall on its own!
-
I guess that'll be someone else's saw cutting those lumps up then!
-
Perhaps the owner is worried about damage to his garden and wants to be assured that you're one of the good guys. It's his property so he can make you jump through his hoops before granting you access.

Vast amount of Arb timber going spare. Rugby

What? You don't like conifer! -
That was an expensive shag, the one resulting in twins. Mind you, he doesn't complain about the price of hookers any more

Some of the best climbers I've met haven't done CS40/41

That'd be about 350-400 for us. Plus vat though.

And to think... If you hadn't spent so much time faffing about with grinders, how well you could be doing with World of Warcraft.

There's no substitute for a big saw on a small bar in that situation! What dia were the limbs Steve? My ported 357 doesn't get much climb time. Only the rare big free fall dismantle like that! Be honest, did you use spikes?
