This site is attacking my computer, wtf?
Tom Hall replied to normandylumberjack's topic in General chat
got the same going on on my computer guys, web attack exploit toolkit website 4 every time i click to go on to the next page! should we do anything steve? -
oh right great stuff cause i really like the look of them, but only want one i can climb in. yeah it will probably be this time next year before we see them then, supose we have to think at least they are making a dangerous industry as safe as they possibly can
-
:thumbdown:i thought the protos was just for ground use, as advertised on honey bros and fr jones? is there one specifically for climbing in, or are you just going to be naughty
-
bloody hell spruce pirate that does sound scary:scared1:, i thought it could happen at any point hopefully i won't ever experience it though up the top of a tree, or at all for that matter!!!! thank you alvind it did go as planned:party:, but in future i will look closely at the buttresses to see if i can use them to aid the fell by giving me more sound wood to hinge off. hopefully soon have some more pics for you to dissect!!!
-
right guys, for a start it was a lime tree not a lombardy. and the way i cut it was to bore in and cut away from my hinge and left a third of the stem intact then bored in from the other side but followed round to complete the cut so i avoided the barbers chair making sure my head was well out the way as i finished it off, just so you all know my cutting method, thats not me being defensive i'm just explaining. i had about 3" off sound wood either side. i understand what you mean about when you say about bending the stick, but what i don't get is, when you put the sink in you are creating a weak point any way be it 90' up in the canopy or 1" above the ground so surely a barbers chair can occur at any point you choose to fell at????? by the way guys this is great stuff, you are really making me think, i like it
-
reddog, i take it all as advice. thank you for your information very helpful, and i understand what you are saying about the shoulder height thing, thank you
-
thanks guys, i get what you mean now, so is that dangerous to fell from that height, i have been ask to fell down to that height a couple of times before (this time was choice due to rotten base) should i therefore climb and dismantle to that height as opposed to just straight felling? i know you weren't criticising and all comments, advice, help, and abuse is more than welcome as long as it helps me do the job better
-
please explain how is that part of the tree under any greater stress than lower down or further up i don't understand? and i didn't recut my hinge i recut my sink so it went in the right direction lol
-
ok guys and gals here is my effort be kind only been doing this 3 months, dead lime tree about 25" diameter rotten in base hence the high fell
-
old thread i know but i want to add my opinion, i bought a 346xpg as my first saw but felt a traitor as everybody else seemed to rant on about the wonders of stihl, so fr my second saw i went stihl 441-cm and its not a patch on the husky just doesn't feel right and the issues i'm having with it not oiling right and the nose sprocket ceasing up are just annoying, so on ebay the other day saw a 395xp and treated myself it too is lovely, i have to agree with the majority husky all the way i just hope they nail the t540xp, if they ever release it!!!!!
-
thought you would have to show that beast off on here:001_tt2: hope i get some good ones like this to show off with:thumbup:
-
thank you very much guys very helpful
-
hi guys and gals As i am new to the job, just 3 months in i am struggling with the more delicate side of the job, so any suggestions on the best methods of pruning please. methods of moving round the canopy in a way to get the job done accurately and quickly how to prune to a percentage what to prune, do you just cut out small branches of should you take out some timber too tom
-
very helpful thank you that is the info i was looking for, thinking i might try a 395xp cause i only want to get 1 more saw and by the sounds of things that will do everything i will ever need from felling on a 24" to cross cutting on a 36"
-
why aren't you impressed with the 395xp? looking for specifics. or is it just you are a staunch stihl man?
-
thank you all for your help. i honestly thought the stihl 660 would come out on top, but i will follow your wise leadership and invest in a husky, just need to go and try them, will dealers allow you to take one out for a test drive so to speak, i wouldn't buy a car even if it was only £500 without taking it for a thorough test drive and as these saws are the thick end of £1000 i want to try before i buy???? is this permitted?
-
372 xtorque i think is a 28" bar
-
Your help please, I am looking to get a 'big saw'! I have a husky 346xp on a 15" bar and am hoping to get a husky T540xp, but I also need a big saw for large felling and cross cutting, all make and model suggestions welcome please Tom
