  5. Hi all , got to re pollard a 60ft pop in the morn . Not sure how it's going to go as it was pollarded to 35ft a very long time ago and can't see the condition of the trunk. The re growth is huge and will require me spiking and lowering/speed lining . Advise and encouragement please. .

  13. I.e the tree was a pollard before it was felled. Preferred the fell than a nasty repollard . Because its easy now I've got a crane on my unimog
  14. Poplar pollard . Had a rope on just in case but fell over without a wedge
  15. Ear muffs all the way .. Bring the visor out in the wind if it gets that Bad .. Helmets make you sweat ... Not good in the winter , soon as you slow down your freezing
  16. Have u looked at the hitachi top handle. Much the same deal really . Ok for the smaller stuff but a bit frustrating on a take down .. Nice and cheep . Had mine for a year + still going strong
  17. Envious work with a lot of top boy subbeys ... Just wish things were that smooth my end mate . If it ain't a " lead climber" it's a little chav ... An sum boss winging about "" dollar bro ""
  18. Envious .. Work with a lot of top bot subbeys
  19. Long story cut short .. I says to the lad ... Spike up that there silver birch and put a felling rope in ...he starts shaking and says we can put it in with a throw line... In that case mate it will b a pice of piss to climb..three trees on the deck and throu the chipper he's still struggling with a prusik... Hence the rake coment
  20. We had one lad come do a day with us , he had "lead climber" on his CV ....turns out he'd never used a rake :0
  21. I'm relatively new to climbing. I've had three harnesses so far. Good old weaver . Butterfly and stein vega. Weaver gives u confidence because its chunky and you know it's got you . I really get on with my butterfly and can't stand the stein, the tool loop design is shite
