A up mate, I have the older petrol version. Depending on what you want from it it does a beltin job! 6x9 infeed means less sneddin out and will happily chip 5" but happier on 2/4" stuff. I'm very happy with mine, though the diesel will have more grunt. Oh and light too. Hope this helps PC

I did 8 years agri fencing before becoming Arb, and yes knuckling down in all weathers on that job is fine, felling also.. But you can not climb and prune trees when it's piss wet through. Not efficiently and safely anyway. :-)

I feel the same way, got loads on but can't get in them to do it. Tried climbing when the trees are wet but just ended in winding myself up because of the time lost trying and failing to get into a good work position. Nothing we can do about the weather and at 37 I'm slowly learning! To quote from the awesome film The Crow "can't rain all the time"

Is it mainly felling, be slippy climbing if not?

Thanks David your a star, I did look at the duty chart and as you say it's a big lump of wood, as it's a pollard I shouldn't get near that weight, but will obviously ask for a datum. As for the hook I think it'd be rude not to!! Cheers :-)

Who's been saying it? I've not tried srt yet, but if you cut any climbing line system with out having a secondary you hit the deck?

Sorry Dave it's a grove 30/50 Sam thing though...

Not good David, I think they've estimated over 10million trees destroyed with it.
