    Yeah I do I get jealous when I drive past you lads with your sexy green mech turntables, and I'm pulling along our 17 year old Chippit Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Makes perfect sense. I do this for the big dismantles. I love it. However after two or three days on them I'm ready for some hedge trimming or similar. Neither my body or mind could handle 100% big takedowns! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I got the impression Huck based at least the second part of his post on his own experiences with the company in question. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Offer to work for what the employer thinks your worth for a few days. If you're a lazy toad, the employer won't pay you, but if you work hard and impress, a decent boss should pay you a fair amount. This way it's limited risk for a potential employer, and you may get a foot in the door! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I have a funny feeling he's sick of 357s! The next saw I sent his way will have to be cleaner than a Nun's knickers! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    IMO the hitchclimber and Spiderjack are pretty similar I'm terms of benefits. Ones mechanical, the other is hitch based, that's all. If the op is moving on from a prussik (I'm curious about this "triple prussik") I'd suggest the Hitchclimber since if it's not for him it's less of an investment, and can be tuned to suit climbing styles. Agreed on the pulley as a top anchor though. Each system is pointless without it! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Incorrect. The bar and chain will both enjoy a prolonged life from using a decent chain lube. The cutters however are not affected. Only thing that blunts chains is wood or for foreign objects in wood. The oil doesn't even come into contact with the teeth. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    How do you figure? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Zig zag isn't designed for SRT I think. Stick to a hitch and pulley. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I wasn't at my level 3 years ago, and hopefully I won't still be at this level in 3 years time! Don't get disheartened mate, each climb will add to your experience and confidence. You shoulda seen me when I was first sent up, it was painful! A few years on I can tackle most stuff at a reasonable speed, I ain't fast, nor really slow. I'm always up for a climb if you fancy it mate? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Aah, I'm not told what we get booked in. Want me to slow down? In fairness if we chuck a four man crew on it I can see how it's be tough to be competitive. Small crews or sole traders can beat bigger firms on certain stuff, whereas the bigger crews can be better set up for bigger jobs. For what it's worth I can see how it could be frustrating.

    I buy the Stihl 100ml shots. Easy, no mess, £1 each. Pour it in, then leave the bottle upside down in the spout of the can for a few moments to make sure you get it all. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    There is also an updated flywheel/ignition you can buy which is supposed to be good. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Before you go spending out, drill a hole in the exhaust of the 201t, around 12mm. Makes a good difference. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Jesus, like I don't have enough elbow problems! I'll give it a go soon. Anyone know of any lifts that can prevent elbow joint issues? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
