What hitch do you use for lowering limbs/Trunk
Joe Newton replied to Top Cat's topic in Climbers talk
Likewise, I've never broken a crab yet, and god knows I've tried. Always figured the half hitch would go before the crab anyway. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app -
Personally if be happy working alone, in the right circumstances. If there were obstacles to avoid and cut and chuck was risky I wouldn't do it. Same as pedestrian traffic. If it's in a open back garden with no targets and no tidy up then sure, why not? Otherwise you're paying for a ground you stand around fingering himself. Let's face it, if you have a proper mischief in the tree your only real chance is self rescue, if rather avoid relying on that. The only problem I can see is practicality. Dumping a load of tree on your line or running out of fuel. Reg has obviously thought around that. I wouldn't expect it of anyone under my duty of care though.

As far as I know Sugihara made the nose sprocket on their 0.043 bar slightly different to the stihl one. So running one on the other is likely to damage the chain and nose sprocket. You might get away with it, I wouldn't risk it though. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I found there was a definite knack to starting it. The chain brake was one of the things. I think as the saw beds in the carb needs a tweak. Mine runs on when warm so I've been advised to wind the l screw out 1/8 a turn. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Yeah, but the Sugihara chain is mutually inclusive you the bar. You shouldn't run a Sugi. 043 chain on a stihl bar or vice versa. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Or the Sugi bar is a touch longer, and the bar is pressed up tight to the sprocket. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Hahahaha brilliant! We get it. Big Tree bloke have towering hulk of muscle who causes panties within a 100m radius to instantly saturate. He doesn't need the decomp. Adversely, I'm a skinny bitch weighing in at a bit less than a wet fart. I'll take the decomp thanks Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Try starting a ported 660 on spikes without using the sissy button. Spud turning into a bender once he sent back my saw. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Can't wait to see where this leads! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I use a 461 on a 25" bar at work and it's great. I also have a 441 on a 20" bar and it's lovely. My go to chogging saw. Its power delivery is spot on with the 20". Nicely balanced too. Got it barely used for £400, and the insides didn't look like they'd seen sawdust. I wouldn't try it with a 25" bar though. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I don't think it's harsh. Even a top handle could drop a leaner safely if it was sharp. Say a 3" face cut would leave 6" worth of gob. Nibble the ears away and your good to go Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

If a tree under 10" it's barber chairing you're doing something seriously wrong. A sharp saw and conventional cut should do it no trouble. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Backpain, sorry to hear this. Where in the Midlands are you? I can sort you a spare (basic) climbing kit and a couple of saws to keep you going in the mean time if that would help? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Fair enough Marc, I guess it depends on how much of your work is in construction. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Its a tiny amount compared to what that ticket enables you to earn. £120 per employee for a morning. Each lad will earn the company that on a commercial job by the time they've unloaded the van. Of course you could opt out, and see how lucrative that option is? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Rubbish. The first mornings work four those lads would cover that. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

For a pinto DB is simple enough. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I thought you could do it? I just use a link pulley for pulley savers etc. Much easier. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Pfanner stretch flex. They don't last for long climbing, and are never the same once washed, but they're great. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Having a second harness and all the gubbins attached to it would cost me far too much! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I have one of those foothills that just goes on your boots and stays on. You can wear it under your spikes. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Now if money were no object... Good shout! It happens anyway if I've had more than a couple of beers after work. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
