  1. here's a view of the tree Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  2. i had pre slung the whole tree but the wood was much heavier then anticipated so we furiously were re slinging on the way down also. that top was in at 800 kgs and it took just over an hour of flight time i think. the travel time to a nearby field was around 30 seconds so the fact that the helicopter was also bringing up supplies for a landscaping company gave us a little room to breath.
  3. we were also "limited" to one tonne but the customers emphasiss on zero impact and the fact that we could use the helicopter to fly up stones and cement for the customers renovation was the reason we managed to do it this way in the end. 2 birds with one stone. @mark , I'm looking forward to that video mate:thumbup1:
  4. around 30 seconds bro , It was crazy fast. The landing zone was in a field a few hundred meters away.
  5. A quick clip from a removal i did a couple of days ago. Ill be putting together a longer vid when i figure out how to use iMovie a bit better.
  6. with a polyester core would be better , some of those high mod fibres like the vectran in beeline are self abrasive.
  7. You can use a pinto rig spacer and fabricate something off that or just use the spacer. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  8. tough luck matt, throw lines a shocker sometimes bro , first worlds over now mate next time masters
  9. Here's some photos I've taken today of some affected horse chestnuts , all next to each other Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  10. yeah still sounds like leaf miner , its a big problem here mate , we set up traps to catch the moths , if your seeing it on a lot of the chestnuts around there it will be the leaf miner bro. although the pics do look like drought damage i reckon that it would be an isolated case if that was the matter and not spread out over the city.
  11. Im guessing that because the time of year thats how it looks , earlier on when the damage is fresh its more obvious but as the season goes on the leaves die off , either that or old mate over the road has been putting to much salt down on the road for the winter snow.
  12. Horse-chestnut leaf miner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia heres your answer bro
  13. coos bay is different bro , it involves a hinge. the triangle is just three cuts and makes the limb pop off and land flat , id use the coos bay or a bore cut for felling and the triangle aloft where direction wasn't a factor
  14. Come on Adam , get creative mate
  15. Thought I'd show the triangle cut Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  16. maybe to break it in a bit .
  17. Yeah bro , that's my cut of choice also , takes a bit if practice but works well . Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  18. Throw it in the wash it'll look like new , beeline lasts very well , there's no way you could burn it out in one climb . Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  19. On your mainline ? , flag that mate , get a foot ascender and don't worry about anymore of a mechanical advantage then you have with your normal system , you will need 4x the rope if you set the thimble up the top of the tree. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  20. A nice light reduction then put in a static just above bracing leaving he old one in, I don't know how much good taking out the old stuff will do as you've said it may just cause problems . Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  21. it comes loose midway through ascending and the angle it sits is terrible , defiantly not a fan and i miss my old one. my workmates one blew out when he was ascending
  22. Nope your right mate ... the new pantin is crap
  23. How heavy can you pick at full reach with bad boy matt?
