Yeah , swing cheeks work well but a bit bulky and didnt really stand up for to long I'm thinking the pintos look pretty staunch and might be a little studier also , we have a small isc one but it's only upto 13 mm Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

alright lads , the company i work for has put me in charge of all the rigging gear etc and i was wondering what the general consensus was on the pinto rig. Up until now we have used the kong rollers but i find them to be a bit bulky and flimsy. a couple of the lads have been snatching out small bits on them which of course has rooted them prematurely so we now need a few redirect pulleys for our rigging operations . Cheers Jesse

Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!
colemanjessenz replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Picture Forum
sort of , there was no really open cracking of the limb more a twisting and splitting of the bark due to a lion tailed leader , not 100% on what you would call it officially sorry mate. Its a strange way of dealing with trees here in germany , personaly i would have reduced the one leader and left the tree but since a an overall reduction was recommended by an "expert" it was "vital" that one was done to keep it "safe". this of course was all i gathered from my poor german skills and quick translation from my colleague. our argument on the 25 % spec was that it would cause more probems in a few years time with epicormic growth therefore only solving the problem for a year or two then being back in the same boat. -

colemanjessenz replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Picture Forum
customer was concerned about a pressure crack in one of the lower limbs and had been recommended a 25% reduction overall , but it seemed a little crazy to us because it was a beautiful specimen and the spec seemed a little harsh so we talked to him and instead did a lesser reduction , but went a bit harder on the damaged leader. -
Where did u get those from bro ? , they look light.

heres a few pics of one we did about five months ago , there was a cable installed further up in the crown prior(not in pics) which had be very tight for the last few years so we replaced it with a studier cable. but we also installed a failsafe right down where the co dom was. we managed to set two 40 tonne strops with a massive d shackle. It was a mission to get it on but now it just sits in there nicely.

Hitch Hiker thread.
colemanjessenz replied to Old Mill Tree Care's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
:thumbup:Alrighty lads , just ordered one. spent the whole day going up and down 25- 30 meter trees taking out hangers from a recent storm, frog walk up and the setup my rope guide . all i could think of was how much faster it would be if i had a wrench or hitch hiker ......... decided for the hh:thumbup1: -
Eucs are known to split and the tension and compression in the older larger ones can be pretty crazy , I got the 66 stuck once when blocking down a stem , halfway through the cut and the bar pinched , had to release some fibers on the other side and it came out no worries. Surprised the Aussie lads haven't jumped on this one , eucs are there bread and butter Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

totally agree

If its not a heavy forward lean and there arnt any large limbs hanging the opposite way you could probably get away with a letterbox bore and chasing the hinge , and i dont recommend leaving a large hinge with added pressure from winch as it may want to split.

Get some nice light hiking pants with gators built in my sip climbing pants a d my chainsaw pants have them also , none so far. The area I am in Germany is really bad for them apparently but I think they like some more then others Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Each to there own , personally , i find them horrible to climb in . I wore them in snow a few times and i find them cumbersome and un natural. My colleagues wear them and think I'm crazy for not but there is nothing sweeter then hearing the sound of them curse because they forgot there gloves , one problem i will never have Some amazing climbers i have seen wear gloves and some do not , its not about being tough i think its just they tick more boxes for some and less for others
