    I find stretching before a days climbing helps, like runners do

    Congrats on completing your first tree trim in the clasdic gypo style

    or police cars supercharged and nitrous kits with a massive spring loaded hook hinged at the front bumpers and going over door frames and held on a roof mounted trigger, they speed up ram from behind and release the hook which swings down through 130 degrees and plunges into the rear bodywork of the getaway car like in robot wars

    is it feasable to construct a largish incinerator on the nearest lawn and transport ash out? - I mean in wintertime is there a way with sheetmetal to burn above the lawn somehow?

    it does look good - here's a clip of the inventor demonstrating it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGUbGqc6Sf8 he knows how to charge

    too much money aint enough money

    just been considering this for myself, but nowhere to store it - 84hp Perkins maybe its clapped out, but cheap enough to put some money into restoring https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BANDIT-90XP-Wood-Chipper-Perkins-Diesel-Vermeer-Jensen-Timberwolf/302946087606?hash=item4688fe72b6:g:40sAAOSwa3lb317q:rk:49:pf:0

    No - I used the method you described with a sling and a krab at the fork, much better than climbing back through if it's tight, but obviously you have to climb back up to it. Giorgio Fiori must have had the same difficulties as you (From his youtube) 'To make it work well, you must use a small ring ( the inner diameter of the hole is 34 mm ) and the lanyard linking the little carabiner must be as short as possible. I took Dan Curtis' idea and I made a little modification: I added a little rope to the little carabiner and I linked the little carabiner in a different way, so the ring doesn't turn behind the branch, but it releases the rope earlier.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZxbkJ9aeF0

    if the system doesn't look elaborate enough an 8mm fetching line could be added if using pulleys or rings to slide lumps down on

    Impressive - but it sounds like it would take a month of Sundays. Plus the Transit or Dailey suspension to consider. Sorry for the derail. Must be plenty of rapes and murders to discuss, updated by the hour from around the globe

    if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem - knuckle down and try to invent something, if you can't think of anything else I'd like a kit so I can run a PTO chipper off my 90hp transit and a similiar kit for 140hp Iveco. Under 2k delivered preferably

    According to their website Beaver Plant have the A340T for hire, so someone interested in buying one could possibly go to their yard dragging a big conifer along the road and stuff it through their one (for a small fee) as a demo. 2.4 ton, so under 3.5 ton on a trailer https://beaverplant.co.uk/index.php/hire/wood-chipper/beaver-plant-jensen-a340t-tracked-woodchipper.html

    may not be horrendous second hand for someone who already owns a suitable tractor a smaller leap from a 6" Timberwolf would be a 9" machine, e.g one of these big tracked Jensens like you have mentioned - this one seems reasonably priced at eleven thousand plus tax https://www.globalrecycling.eu/equipment/jensen-a340-track/
  14. tree-fancier123
    you were asking about tow behind - but this video shows a nice setup I've not seen used in UK - a big PTO chipper (ideal conny basher) behind a trailer behind a tractor - how is the chipper powered - I mean does a PTO shaft run under the trailer and only get connected when stationary or what? https://youtu.be/aTMN0XFZTrM?t=93

    nice job above with concrete sleepers greenheart is one of the best timbers for piling, but expensive

    if you're worried about brexit, just ask to be paid in bitcoin - sorted

    you may have already checked the old threads on it, I remember a few people discussing it at various times https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/72240-arb-pro-software/ https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/106381-arbpro-software/ this last thread mentions they were jacking it in, maybe someone bought them out?

    using his judgment as to whether or not it will support?
  19. tree-fancier123
    thanks - someone in the comments notes that it does need the climber to rely on the ascender for life support, I have done this once with a Petzl basic and it works fine, but they do have a point, manufacturers are always covering themselves saying ascenders should be backed up.
  20. tree-fancier123
    this to me is one of the hardest things climbing back up through, but with SRT and a retrievable re-direct placed above the crotch you're dropping through, some climbers seem to put the tail of the rope over and descend through the crotch on a loop, Dan Curtis had a good method (from back in 2014, bound to be several others around by now) https://www.facebook.com/dan.curtis.50309/videos/238027773045433/

    another forum Landscape Juice Network is more focused on that work - may even be members in your area. I bought some gear off a bloke in Southampton doing commercial a while back, don't know if he's still trading http://www.nichelocal.co.uk/services/Southampton/Garden-Machinery/B-H-Gardeners.html https://www.bhgardeners.co.uk/

    if you stop for fuel on the way to an early start there may be someone serving in the shop, they should be on a higher rate too, just means you paying a bit more for your fuel
  23. tree-fancier123
    sure - I do respect those skills, can't imagine life without supermarkets
  24. tree-fancier123
    Bear fighting, of course its any good. He also reckons he delivered a baby under a tree in Richmond Park in the sixties, using his teeth to sever the umbilical chord. Maybe it was the second coming
  25. tree-fancier123
    it would be a good tv show like the film Gladiator plonk them both into the Colluseum - I'd go on against a sheep, but not a badger
