  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. Is it valuable black walnut?
  10. 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
  11. 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

  15. A long handle Grapple will help
  16. 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
  17. Big brother is watching you ?
  18. 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.
  19. Excellent piece of kit ?
  20. ? the yoof of tomorrow ?

    Where am I ?

    Looking at the Isle of Wight
  22. Check the bar doesn’t have a bur on the side from getting hot and a lack of oil, his can make a saw feel blunt as it hold the chain away from the wood. Easy sorted with a flat file just check the top of the rails are at 90 deg
  23. Find work with a decent crew and you will learn in time, take all the chances your given to practice/learn and watch what/how others do things. Most good climbers have good experience on the ground first so don’t worry about starting there
  24. A second person on a pitch fork to pull them away once cut makes this very quick? We also cut bramble “cubes” out with the hedge cutter and remove with the pitch fork
