    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

    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
  13. 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
  17. 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

    crikey peds, thats tough. The real world is just too dangerous, isnt there a videogame for that?
  20. tree-fancier123
    ha ha that line has a double meaning in the metoo era, compliment a woman these days and they more than likely will hold it against you. The female primates in effect

    Its best not to go solo in all aspects, if he's still got those boxing gloves try wearing them to bed
  22. tree-fancier123
    if money is no object you could snatch some fair size lumps and self lower with one of these attached to a sling around the top of the stem, has the benefits of being both lightweight and midline attachable. They say don't mix climbing and rigging gear, so may try plasma cutting a heavier version just for self lowering
  23. tree-fancier123
    that's excellent - if you have installed a nice pulley that would come up easy, leaving the one groundsman to pull stuff clear with the tagline, or finish knocking up the sauce for the steak bearnaise if you are solo then tie off the end of the rigging line in the tree, clip the pieces into a loop of the rigging line and just untie the end and pull the rope back up to you through the carabiner once the piece is down. Much slower than more people, but if you can't find anyone who doesn' think £35 a day is a pisstake for a groundie

    And if the rambo knives were drawn while youre feeding the chipper at roadside just politely unhitch it for them then detonate the radio controlled bomb as they drive off

    lucky you I always get it wrong and end up feeling sad when it takes too long. Nice house in the photo too I bet the whole lot outbuildings etc all for 80k GBP? I
