Whats your least favourite tree to climb and why?
Joe Newton replied to RGB's topic in Climbers talk
Alongside monkey puzzle and Hawthorne. I don't actually mind conifers too much. If I got pissed off every time I have to work on conifer I'd bust a blood vessel before the week was through -

Joe Newton replied to RGB's topic in Climbers talk
Chestnuts can be sods to prune, so can ash for that matter. I find large fruit trees a pain since there's rarely decent money on them for the time it takes to do a good job. Cant forget topper conifers they haven't been touched in years -
I thought so mate
-
fair does, at least you've sorted the weird name colours
-
Yeah, only issue here is I'm getting multiple posts from the same topic in my activity stream. Is that something I can change in my settings or something at your end?

Sirius 12mm is pretty tough for the money. Should be able to get 50m for £80 or close. From memory its got a breaking strain of well over 3 tonne

Stools? You're kidding right?

Hahaha my mum's side is Irish. That said I'll be damned if I'll take racial digs from a Puerto Rican!

All that just to put your name in red? You self indulgent bastard.

cant comment on tracked machines but for road tow the 230 is a class winner. Anyone can tow it being under 750kg, it's way more productive than the equivalent forst, and not miles of the 8" first. If I was going tracked I'd get the biggest I could to fit in a trailer and be under 3.5t

Give Simon at @Beechwood Trees a call. They occasionally have crews out that way. What kind of tools are you after?
-
And they're just the names they call you to your face!

You just eat quicker

Not really sure what you're getting at here mate. What rich posted had nothing to do with the fact they were subbies?
-
I've got a ported 357 and 660, and they're way ahead of the other saws I see working for one firm or another. I keep them properly sharp, and they just work with you.

The usp isn't that its magnetic, its that its purple anodized! A leatherman quality chainsaw tool would be worth a good price to me.
-
I really wish someone would make a decent chainsaw tool out of decent material. The torx bit on my topsaw is rounded because its made of pig metal.

The same bloke cut himself out of the tree not long after, badly injuring himself. Strikes me as someone who's seen a lot of YouTube videos and not worked alongside any decent climbers.
