I'm assuming you are not a climber ?
-
Was talking to the other lads yesterday about this after a few days of pruning monstrous platanus trees . Real good tip ..
-
Only positive things to say about Arbtalk here , moderators extremely good and a fantastic leader in Mr Bullman
-
Uncalled for ... Ad is very outdated ..
-
You have at long last got the commercial world kevin , plant a turnip ..perfect .
-
Kevin , there was no response to this posting which was why i responded in the first place . I will find out tomorrow what fines are in place over here . I think the questions you raise are irrelavant tbh , in the commercial world and the real world just make sure something else gets planted ..
-
Alot of forethought has went into that . Good anchor point for the massive dead wood removal
-
So its purely a monetary decision , no advice to client whatsoever ?
-
Insulting not to replant imo . Here in Austria its taken seriously with hefty fines .
-
Take it there was not many growth points left ?

Always look on the bright side of life ..doo doo - doo doo doo doo doo doo

One of the best examples is in the car park at Maryculter House hotel , Aberdeen . Its an ancient tree in a very historical site well worth a visit . -
I'm just along the road from you in Vienna Spent my summer holiday touring about Croatia and Sarajevo both very interesting and beautiful places .
-
started commercial full time climbing ( big trees not uk trees ) at 43 , go for it mate ..
-
Well said MesterH
-
I wear a good luck charm , detest climbing without it now
-
If you dont pre-tension it there will definetely be slack in the system . It hanging like an old washing line is equally wrong and aesthetically looks terrible .
-
If you have the first splice to tight around the tree there is no way of tensioning the system up . Sounds if that part has been done correctly but impossible to say without photo . 99.9% of the cobra-ing i see is too slack
-
There is no chance of climbing out on to the tips of a long , skinny and extremely fragile Ailanthus unless you have some sort of deathwish . Powered pole pruner in a tree > stupid ...
-
Just a guy collecting a bit of firewood , no problem
-
Totally job dependant . It just makes sense to have the right tool for the right job . The amount of work saved reducing something like a massive poplar if you can get a mewp in is monumental . Be crazy not to imo .
-
Still gives me nightmares doing a large beechstump , not recommended really
-
Never seen a Zubat break . We use them extensively every day and no problems at all . The Zubat has a much more powerfull cutting action which is a must if your cutting larger limbs . Unless your a glutten for punishment or doing small trees i would stick with the Zubat at all costs
-
Never to be used on its own , but great for smoothing out a descent when the friction hitch is biting hard into the rope if you have switched over to single line. Also good if your rope gets a good soaking when working in the tree to smooth out jumpy hitches .

Walking down the fairway of life you have to smell the roses as you only get to play one round - Ben Hogan He who hasnt given one hundred percent has given nothing Dont ask for an easier life , but to be a stronger person Fall down seven stand up eight Sweating like a nun at a cucumber stand
