Dryad's saddle

Moving back to uk and traveling by coach from Dublin to Victoria London and wondering if i can put my husky 560 in my hard case. I have never had a bag searched before but wondered if any one else has been in the same position?

ill pm you

Looking for somewhere to keep the truck chipper and tools secure. Won't be needing to bring chip and logs as i have that sorted. If anyone has anything let me know or if anyone has any advice on how to find please share.

Thanks

Would i be mental to get this instead of a tranny and put a chip box on the back.

 

I heard they are poor on deisal as constantly 4x4 and i probably wont fit a great deal of chip on.

 

I don't mind shoveling

Just got back to BJJ after 2 years off for training for my job and getting over knee surgery. I know it's all supposed to be technique but going back with log moving strength and chainsaw kettle bell strength defiantly helps.

Brazilian jui jitsu is where its at

Been training a year now, Changed my life. Totally de frags my brain at the end of the day. Its one of the only Martial arts where you can go full tilt in sparring and not get hurt or injured.

I would highly recommend it to climbers if you want to get into shape, i developed muscles in places i didn't know existed lol

Unless something better comes up i might just go with one, i have used them before, a good friend used one for tree work for years, ex Birmingham council, she never let him down in six years. I think the only thing we did was do some welding under the seat.

Granted they are not the quickest or pretty to look at, but the year and model i'd be looking at has basically got Transit running gear, more horse power than the old models and a slightly more comfey interior.

If it does me a couple of years until i can upgrade then i'll be delighted, most my budget will be attached to the back on the tow bar lol:confused1:

Might go for this, any thoghts or suggestions would be most welcome:thumbup:

Just started climbing but haven't got my tickets yet. I climb using DRT with prusik and get myself half to 3/4 way into oaks/ash/beech trees, usually around the crown though and I just try walking out on a few limbs. I'm lacking the confidence to try much more without a professional nearby as theres so much more that I'm unsure about such as high anchor points etc

 

Just wondering if anyone knows of any recreational climbs or anywhere I can climb with other climbers/arborists etc? Or even any opportunities to observe or work experience.. Im situated in Mid Wales but eager to travel anywhere.

 

I have rang around local tree surgeons in the hope of a day or so work experience but all are extremely busy and/or won't take anyone on site without tickets which I fully appreciate.

 

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Get yourself down to some of the big Arb shows this summer and you can not only network with other climbers you can watch the tree climbing competitions ( work climbs etc ) and also demo different climbing techniques that retailers have set up in the trees, sure to get some good advice.

Also if you haven't already thought about it, do your Cs 38 and 39 NPTC!

Definitely avoid climbing on your own if you are unsure of anything, thats just playing with fire.

Good luck:thumbup1:

look at these old chestnuts

all that metal work is going to reduce your payload big style

would i be just as well to use timber remove the mesh, or get a tipper without one and start from scratch?

yes, cut 18" - 2ft off top

Does anyone think with some heavy tweaking this cage could be modified for tree work?

Any suggestions

Now I have a TW190 what ever inches that is, I never blow the cobwebs off the little 6inch 150

I prefer girth

LOL Are you sure you really wanted to share that with us

Thanks guys for the advice, it all makes sense

Save up get the 6" machine. Smaller diameter chippers are great when you can push them to where they need to be. However you have to dress the material to make them work well. Unions twisty bit and just brashy tops will go through the 6" chipper with much greater ease.

 

I started working with a 6" machine then moved to a place with a 5" not a lot of difference till the twists and forks came into it. Became a learning experience on how to work with it. 4 would be harder. Use a 12" now so no dressing at all:thumbup:

12 inches of lovelyness

I thought as much just wanted to be sure though.

Im finding it hard to find chippers from reputable companies, want to try and avoid flea bay and gum tree. E-arborist has a few as do mason's, if anyone knows of any other good companies to look up please share.

LOL i certainly don't want to rape small trees

USED Wood Chippers, SCHLIESING 105 MX - 4.7" - CATEGORY: WOOD CHIPPERS offered for sale £4750.00

So i am nearing the completion of setting up my little business and the chipper is next on the cards. I originally intended to go for a 6 inch road tow TW or Jensen until i came across the above, my thinking for this being that i intend to keep hold of as much timber as possible and that in most cases i won't be needing to chip larger branches. This got me thinking maybe i don't need to stretch my budget to get a 6 inch TW etc and go for this. I know Schliesing are well built and reliable.

One thing i will say is most my experience in the last ten years has been with 6inch and larger so i have no idea what this chipper is likely to be capable of

Please share your thoughts

Anyone had much joy with one of these yet?

Tell me your stories lol
