A bolt may help if you can’t find a pin.

I’m lost for words on this. To have a fall/tree collapse is a risk most of us except as a possibility one day. To have the barstard drown you as well is not in the job description 😢 Our thoughts are with the family. RIP.

Your not selling it 🤣
-
It makes good fire wood but looks quite plain as a split log, I would be interested to see what it comes out like 👍
-
These little narrow access things, not massive but a big step up/help compared to pie power

How much stock fencing have you done?

Your rope takes care of that, seen big lads do tip ends no bother and as many skinny racing snakes that can’t, that’s down to ability and practice. Cs38 will get you more work as a groundy/rescue climber. A good crew will give you some tree time with 38 but 39 is the big step forward, after that get some experience first, rigging and pruning will be easier then 👍

Seen plenty reckon that a free turning one is better for stuffing brash in a chipper, used with a heal will still move logs. (A fixed grab for logs is also a option) Also reducing weight so can lift more and hopefully it wouldn’t be so long so get better lift height I am open to ideas as that’s all it is at the moment

Thank you. I will give them a try, just got fed up of not finding what I was after

I’m looking into timber grabs to put on a small loader, nothing remarkable in that but I cannot find knockabout grab rotators only hydraulic ones for sale. Can any of you please help with what to search for to find a free turning rotator, I’ve tried looking up every term I can think of on google but to no avail 🤔 I think @Mick Dempsey has mentioned the grab on his multi one is a knock about.

It is, I’ve not got a new petrol one but it could change the market value for second hand diesel machines and ruin the investment for people that have just gone petrol. This could also include many stump grinders etc. New machines will be sorted to except it in short order or they won’t sell, it makes for Interesting times but the powers above won’t care about us, they want everyone to go electric which is currently (IMO) unviable for us as a industry 🤔
-
Does this mean all these new petrol chippers will be no good on regular fuel?
-
My last one lasted 3 years before any creep showed. I do tend to climb fairly hard and used it with a rope wrench on srt as well. I must confess I’m not so keen on the new one, it’s to bulky and doesn’t fit the hand so nicely

We have been having similar conversations 👍 all we ever hear is good things about customer service from greenmech. tidy job, well done to all involved at greenmech 😎

Let it grow taller this year and have it laid next winter, You will get far better regrowth from the base, more wildlife in it and if done well will be stock proof evan if your only livestock is a dog or child 👍 leave a occasional tree in a laid hedge for the birds to sing from. A hedge with a song post every 20metre will get more small birds nesting than one without.

Half of the carving would be in next door, what happens if she wants a rhino and he wants a horse, they would end up with a unicorn!

You will. Need to apply to the council tree officer for any works of this nature. Not a issue, you can do it your self or most reputable tree surgeons will do the paperwork on your behalf.

Try Arborventure tree care, based in the new forest and one of the good guys of the arb world. There will be others locally but I know these guys have the kit to deal with your tree: https://www.arborventuretreecare.co.uk I can’t speak for there costs but there work is first class 👍

@Paddy1000111 for reference a silky saw will cut a tensioned rope as quick as a chain saw and quicker than a rescue knife. Not saying don’t carry one but I would go to the silky first for a loaded climbing or rigging line first every time.
-
We just use what ever is in the cardboard bin And kindling is just the small stuff that drops out of the processor and any off cuts of what ever I’ve made. Spending money on firefighters 🤯

Rock ropes are far more stretchy than arb ropes, ours are more static.

Don’t Jump 🤯 you might have to much slack in the system

That second pic is a cracker 😎
-
From first impressions you wouldn’t know it wasn’t a ifor or Brian James etc. What make is it? Sounds interesting.

On the window lickers forum does he say how much of a successful tree man he is? I guess we all ask him for advice? 🤣 You must have far to much time on your hands Andy!
