on the job? time saved, time wasted -
-
thanks, everyone seems to be looking at shiny side not the real world
-
i meant gom. sorry, ebay they turn up, there is a nat. on there for £28 i think...
-
we all know what the TO's are like, bet there is full spectrum around the country, just looking for the angle - they never say the tree is safe anyway.
-
3 things bother me... getting your fingers trapped clothing getting caught freezing up of the device due to sap, dirt or other. they all look shiny on the vidz, love to see one after a week kicking about in the wet and dirt taking down a few Scots and some sycamores covered in lichen filling up the mechanism.

sharpening?? you can pickup blades for £20 new.
-
i'm only thinking of domestic ash trees that are a far to big for the area and have tpo's, get them gone while the times ripe.
-
both very true, thats why a gom is the best, cheaper, more handy and i got 3, each one has its place:thumbup: one on ebay for £37 at the mo....
-
gomtaro the only one worth having, good price, does the job, nothing flashy and the tip does not snap off as easily.
-
has anyone mentioned....fingers or clothing getting trapped??
-
that one is amazing, but what about when the wind hits it? looks like it would fall to bits:laugh1:
-
with regards to TPO's and burning on site. Does anyone think its worth a challange to tackle the council's to fell now any domestic ash tree's that are an eyesore, too big for the space or just ill managed - prior to the die-back? so that burning on site is not an issue.
-
thats one of the best i have ever seen - even mark escher would been proud.

I had a makita for ages, they are great. Mines a 50cc and cost £311 -
I'm glad everyone has made the points. The biggest difference that no one has mentioned.....Rock climbing is about climbing, not about relying on your harness - its all about your fingers, arms, toes and weight shifting.

missing groundies! that was the reason

This thread has had a few hits. Has no-one ever built a nest when dismantling? I had a little go today and it worked a treat - plus I did not have to keep shouting a the dog to go away.
-
I would just like to point out a few things. As alot of you have been happy with your harnesses there are some finer details that are missing or you may be happy with. The skylotec has a very bulky bridge that would take alot of effort to replace (unlikely it would ever fail) but I find those bridges pointless. The Treemotion is a nice comfortable one, but is very fiddly and has too much going on, the material does not stand the test of time. I prefer a super light bridge.

I had a new one this week, build a nest when your dropping parts of the crown, then drop in one go lower to ground. Anyone else use this method? It then got me thinking about 'Tree House Nests' - someone has beat me to it....this is amazing! The Bird's Nest by Inrednin Gsgruppen - Dezeen

as above, normal climbing harnesses are cheap, you can pick one for £20+. plus if you haven't done any rock climbing yet, you'll soon work out why an arb harness will not work, as it is too bulky, and body position is the main factor, so smaller the better.

I've looked at them all, I use and like my Treeflex, its very basic but has lots of support. I did not rate a sequoia - but many do, as I've seen and tried loads of harnesses my thoughts might be better.

street tree pruning price (help for coursework pllllease)
tuttle replied to APC's topic in General chat
I reckon you could easily lose a pile of money doing this job. Time wasted = moaning car owners, home owners, pedestrians (waiting/down time) clearing up....the list goes on. In my book, if you pollard and charge £150, then there's another £75 to remove waste, sweep and clear the mess, pack away and drive home. There are loads of variables to try and profit from a job like this, and councils are always trying to get the best price. -
he looks like he put his lanyard line on the small branch to change position, then undid it once he had come back around, its as if he thought it was his side strop and his main anchor point was in....then thought 'whats this flip line doing here?' Hot weather and dehydration are the enemy's here.
