    m4, went for 16mm - on the Dragonfly I would say 14mm ideal as the 16mm do poke through a bit and have torn the olive padding behind - no big deal https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PHILLIPS-MACHINE-SCREWS-COUNTERSUNK-FLAT-HEAD-BOLTS-M3-M4-M5-M6-M8-STAINLESS/252355920381?hash=item3ac195c1fd:m:ma-d36c5_WxqdYmyHI014dQ:rk:3:pf:1&frcectupt=true

    yeah death pledge sums it up - pretty sure I'll have a chain round my neck for the forseeable - nose to the grindstone. Our ancestors didn't worry about the trappings of wealth, as long as they were dry and could find enough food

    now you mention it yes - his cut is only approx 15ft off the ground, even had a tracked chipper to help pull it over

    Interesting - so these plant trackers communicate via a cell phone type protocol? If so then yes the phone jammers are easily available for not much money, so can see its not that hard to steal something with a tracker

    nice - I would add in a mobile phone signal jammer, so they can't call for help

    Whats your take on it , should have climbed higher, or tried a xxxxx special felling cut? From the comfort of my armchair and having watched Beranek DVD the Coos bay may have got him home in better shape

    The halal cow is not dissimilar to a one handing arborist getting it in the neck

    I'd like something like that, but I guess on a 3.5ton it would be more than half the payload gone - did you weigh the chassis cab and finished chip truck?

    In a similar vein - more 'whataboutery' - someone who buys a parcel of countryside and gets planning permission to build on it - so when they phone you up to clear the trees, if you don't do it someone else will - think of the poor stoats and moles that will have to relocate

    well - the thing is consumerism can be seen as a way of harming humans and animals - say if you take a Sunday drive, instead of walking - or fly to a foreign destination, instead of staying at home - maybe the extra pollution is ruining creatures habitat I agree those religious nuts are causing unneccesary suffering - the nutritional quality of the food isnt improved by their brainwashed antics

    a good project would be to buy a set and make them battery powered and one hand operation

    at least they aren't cannibals, could be worse

    I was sorry to hear you'd lost your house - hopefully you can get a 75% mortgage again one day

    they were both out when I got mine - the reason I went Rock Exotica is the screw down mounting plate - it does hold it really well , my Caritool used to slide around the webbing. These locking hooks are ok, but if I forget to lock them I can imagine its not good for the rigging load to be transferred mid flight to the harness
  15. tree-fancier123
    I've been mincing around with these Rock Exotica ones on my Dragonfly; they lock unlike a wiregate - so as long as you remember to lock them when rigging... I had to buy slightly longer machine screws for the double thickness webbing(ebay) It does say expert use only - so you can't sue unless you can identify 75% of the arboretum

    paid per tree? I'd pay to have a go - 100 dollars for a 250ft conifer 125 for a similar size mountain ash

    in the old days a good punishment was to be pulled apart by horses - in the modern era pulled apart by tractor winch would help stop them re-offending

    I wasnt taking the piss - my estimate of 12hrs for me was serious. Matty F has said elsewhere hes done 22 years of it. I wouldnt be surprised if hes at least twice as quick as me. He must be worth a few quid now hes spent the time to get good at something

    Its not easier to prune than section fell, dismantling youre not out on the tips at all
  20. tree-fancier123
    Impressive eh? I could have maybe gave it a hair cut in half day i.e 12 hours

    wanted to talk about various skills, but it made me so unhappy, all I ever wanted was to be famous, have a state funeral and be buried in Westminster Abbey.

    beautiful - what a place to retire. Joan Collins holed up just along the coast

    just come back from hols in France - was told about blockades in Vendee and all over, seems people power forced Macrons hand into a permanent U turn on the fuel duty. If it was here the Conservatives would have cleared the trouble makers with tanks - at least I like to think so lol
  24. tree-fancier123
    no I think it's like Stihl 4-mix - they work best with the valve gaps about 0.1mm, but will stihl run rough when they are way out

    there's a fine line between the jailer and the jailed
