Pfanner arborists if you can afford them! The lightest, coolest and most hard wearing trouser I have ever owned. Pricey tho.
-
Yeah my teuf tachyon Is definitely fluffed and doesn't seem to run as smoothly through the links as the poison ivy I got.
-
You wanna start summat
-
They are also very tough, got the full 5 yrs out my dragonfly. Petzl sequoia is also in the price range, new model looks good.
-
guy at work has the 5000. seems ok. the only prob is that it loosens off while climbing.
-
No this was in Ealing. Spec was both in meters (2) and percentage. Was a similar sized oak on ingram av but not as nice as it had been over thinned in the past.
-
Should of taken a before pic. Heres the after. 25% reduction.
-
Those cmi ones are big heavy and bulky. The new CT one looks good!

If you use a hitch climber/zigzag/spiderjack, a plain old pantin can make the world of difference especially if you master installing a friction saver from the ground. It aint srt but it makes you life a lot easier. I have some srt kit but prefer this method as it involves less kit and faff as I would switch to ddrt when at the top anyway.

I have carbons and a pal has the ali ones. Not much difference in weight and both as comfortable as each other. Id go for the ali as cheaper and more hard wearing.
-
Throw over a high thin branch put a bag on each end pull up one end then the other...repeat as many times as you can.
-
When I first got the zz2 it definitely fluffed my line up but it seems to have calmed down now so im happy.
-
the distels will be more comfortable although i havnt tried the treehogs they are a fairly traditional design similar to my last pair which hurt my legs after an hour.
-
Was fine today in the heavy rain and gunk.
-
I have both sj and zz and imo they both have different qualities but I think i prefer the sj as I find it self tends a lot better and decents are smoother. It absolutely wins on big planes! If I wasnt tackling a lot of big stuff the zz would be a more practical choice as it has a more natural method of operation and no trouser darkening moments like accidentally knocking the release lever on the sj.

Fractometers only measure 2cm bored out samples at a time and is used more for decay detection so it may gie you a rough idea but wont measure how a bigger bit or branch reacts as a whole or take biomechanic features into account. A tirfor linked up to a neuton meter would be loads more fun:thumbup:

Anything rave orientated
-
Although I run a 200t and prefer it for power and ease of use. I would go for a new 540t over a second hand 200t as you will never know its history and as mentioned above you get a warranty on new.
-
Been told a few times not to burn it as it gives off nasty fumes......
-
I had a fair sized chog pinch the tip of the bar and the weight of it bent it around for a good few seconds while it was dangling off my harness. After I freed it was amazed the bar was atill straight! You must of give it some abuse!!
-
Not wrong. I had to cut a gob with one on spikes. Horrible.
-
I use the 660 on a 28 in bar. Use it a whole lot more than the 36 in 880. The 660 will run 36 in no worries:thumbup:
