    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131384657402%20 We used to use these, but struggled getting chainsaw trousers on underneath them. Would be fine if you don't have chunky legs or for squeezing them on for the odd job. A lot cheaper.

    http://collinsnets.co.uk/product/cordura-thigh-waders-heavy-duty Best make sure your sitting down before you read the price. Decent quality waders tho with good room for chainsaw trousers.

    Most of my tree work is in the water these days and we use waders with chainsaw wellies on the bottom or a dry suit with chainsaw wellies attached, you still need to whear your chainsaw trousers under them tho. Frozen solid overnight

    Second that, worst I've owned aswell. Go manky after a bit of sweating and red hot despite the vents. Wish I'd stuck to the old husky.

    We use a company called lloyds to do our tractor, winch, slings, chains and the like. Used to come out to our Crook depot and now Darlo. No idea of cost, their a pretty big outfit I think.

    Had a Husky 39O xpg that was stolen, was replaced with a stihl 650. Not impressed with the 650 seems unbalanced, the 390 was probably the best big saw I've used, balanced and plenty power.

    Another vote from me, good axe, hardly ever gets stuck aswell

    I work for the EA now, was supposed to do the prudhoe job with a mewp, but was told I was overdue a refresher course, not allowed to climb in our area for some reason even tho have tickets from college and previous job Never saw that job in the flesh, did they all need climbing ?

    One day I hope to be as good as Shelby On more of a swilly level now Cheers Jon that winch is some tool, big step up from the smaller fransguard type we had before. I just missed out on the job at prudhoe jltree.

    noooo , we borrowed darlo's tractor because cramlington has ours or it's been sent to another area or something like that I give in asking. We always had our own tractor till they closed our depot. You been climbing up at prudhoe on the flood bank ? Who'd you work for ?
  17. Marty O Hare
    That was me in the water , I enjoy it realy, plenty natural insulation to keep me warm not to bad if you can keep busy when your in. The plasma ropes are good, only down side is they fray easily on stones, need to use a plate or handy log when pulling over a hill crest. And the Cost !!!

    Think you could at least double that £750 it's a canny length tho, think its 60m Was a nice spot to work silky fox, always like working at durham. We were spoilt that day with the boat / platform, first time we've used it up in our area, normally the breast stroke accross lol.

    Cheers Steve just glad they worked, first time I've tried loading them up with the app.

    Been lurking on arbtalk for a while now so thought I'd better try a picture thread. We ( EA) had a job last week to help the council taking a couple of trees out of the river that they were going to drop in due to bad access. The site had a good landslide recently knocking a big beech over and damaging an oak, also their was a decent size beech to come out aswell due to a hollow and rotten base and being close to busy footpaths and previous landslide. The council lads felled the trees in and we pulled them out to the opposite bank with better access. Damaged oak at front and beech behind Sunken Oak I had a quick dip to put the strop and winch rope on to pull it into shallower water whear I could touch the bottom and break it up a bit to winch it up the bank. Full of metal to keep us on our toes. Beech in next Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Cheers lads, thankfully not me out of pocket, work for a big organisation. Still a load of hassle and explaining to be done. I feel for small businesses who get done tho
