    No vat but paid for all that kit? Is there a fair lump of bits of paper with the queens head on under your mattress?
  3. It’s a older shogun underneath. Good trucks but parts can be costly and a lot of independent garages can’t work with the diagnostic computer stuff. we had one that wasn’t a bad workhorse till a injector went and basically wrote it off!
  4. Looking at this list more training is needed, not more ropes for the climber to get wrong. IMO 95% (rough guess) is climber error or kit failure poss from lack of proper inspection more kit won’t solve this just increase climber error and more kit not to bother to check/look after Arboricultural Association - HSE Fall from Height Incidents involving arborists WWW.TREES.ORG.UK <p class= lead bold mb10 >This article contains brief examples of the falls from height reported to HSE under RIDDOR.</p> <p>All injured persons were arborists.</p> <h3 class= dgreen... Also as a after thought will more kit increase risk taking “because the other rope will save me”???
  5. You can’t half the thickness of the rope it would be twice as dangerous bit like srt compared to drt ??‍♂️
  6. ART positioner all the way. No further questions needed it just works in any weather without stress or thinking it just does what it needs to and very very well.
  7. That’s how I was shown to get the angle, ive got a pair welded together next to the grinder ?
  8. @the village idiotThank you for your time to write this all down, As has been said cracking thread and project

  10. Stump Grinder Teeth | UK | Multi-Tip WWW.PREDATOR-MFG.COM 30% better performing than standard Stump Grinder finger teeth. Change a Multi-Tip tooth in less than 1 minute. As standard on every Predator. 0118 940 1739 Multi-Tip - Home MULTI-TIP.COM At Multi-Tip we realise that it's not just about having a great machine. The cutter system is equally, if not more important.
  11. When those hitches are loaded uneavenly is one going to pull the other down with it if they end up one above the other? i would consider there to be NO safety benefit from that set up as with the ropes that close together if one was cut there is a very high chance the other would be compromised.
  12. A heavy reduction often results in lots of epecormic growth that will block more light. crown raise and a light thin will be better for the tree and you longer term. Short term the heavy reduction will give you more light but the regrowth will be as bad/worse as you have now by next summer
  13. This one has that set up not overly clear tho | Euro Auctions | - Leeds - 5th, 6th & 7th April 2017 - 09:00AM Local Time - Lot Search Results WWW.EUROAUCTIONSLIVE.COM
  14. The old bonser forklift buckets hooked on the same as the times (the had tip built into a back plate but you probably won’t need that bit) , you slid the tines to the centre to take them off, then the the bucket hooked on and had 2 blocks that bolted on in place of the bottom lug on the tines. I will try to find a picture, my dad had a rough terrain one based on a DB tractor back in the 80s/90s

    A skip chain would help for a one off job
  16. Windrows provide a huge resource for the small mammals which in turn help the predators and this continues up the food chain. Sterile closed canopy woodland is best for your bank balance but a bit of diversity can’t be a bad thing can it?

  18. Arbor Venture Training Arboriculture Courses and Assessments WWW.ARBORVENTURE.CO.UK you won’t go wrong with these guys in the new forest
  19. Yes they will work on a tripod ladder. Not quite as well as on the floor tho ? occasionally the bars at the bottom of the harness will hook in the steps if Side on to the ladder but coming up a inch frees it no bother
  20. I use a ct foot ascender as a knee one. Just undo the section of webbing that goes under your foot, put a tool clip on it and hook to a foot loop, put some padding on the back (I still need to do this) and put it on round your knee, all for around £30. been using this for a couple of years, with a foot ascender on the other foot. The one shown with the fixed link between foot and the ascender looks bulky and will get in the way in the tree.
