  1. I've seen allot of very incompetent ground based saw men trust me [emoji849][emoji107]
  2. Been in Germany all week wear I worked with guy that's been using the new t540i xp top handle he said it's a game changer so much more capable than all the other electric top handles unfortunately I didn't get a go !
  3. Yea even the worst jobs are easy with the right kit [emoji4]
  4. Dead spruce over a phone wire main road and covered in Ivey!
  5. I have had two pairs they don't last long enough for the price but they are very comfortable good with spikes on
  6. I have had a monkey beaver saddle for over a year now absolutely love it had 4 tree motions before that but would never go back!
  7. Nice work love rigging from mewp it's so effortless so many people want to cut and hold everything can never understand it [emoji849]
  8. absolutely beautiful
  9. Allot of very good advice here ! I unfortunately come across this kind of behaviour and far worse often as I spend 99 percent of my time taking trees out of a urban environment people's perception of our profession and their entitlement to offer there views on things that do not concern them in any way will never cease to amaze me I've hadl police called to 3 sights lost count of the amount of times people have rang the council never once have any of these phone calls been warranted all work above board and has been explained to whomever had the issue! I honestly think trees bring some sort of deranged sence of entitlement to decide what other people are do with there properly! I used to get angry and let it spoil the day or job now I just calmly explain what is going to happen and that nothing they say or video is going to change that just make sure u are in the right before actually doing whatever work ur doing never take a client's word as the truth!
  10. Ash trees over a little substation this morning the last one was crying out to be felled so stuck a but tie on and sent her down the hill ?
  11. Lovely pic my mrs wants a English mastiff to go with our Bordeaux but we just don't have room for more [emoji849] as much as I would love one to
  12. 12 months old he is lovely but a nightmare at same time
  13. The other one was out of view think it was anchored inside its bag in my pick up [emoji6]
  14. Hi mate I have climbed on 11.7 for years and not had any problems 11.6 definitely runs slightly better through the device! I almost always climb wearing pfanner reds which help with grip I also spend nearly all my time doing take downs which means am on spikes which am sure makes me less aware of grip problems because I tend to climb the tree not the rope I really do rate the petzle rope though definitely one of the best ropes for zigzag
  15. You to mate yea it is a little rocket I have a nostalgic attachment to it [emoji4]
  16. Original 200t modified and the rope is 11.6 petzle
  17. It is a original 200t modified buy the Man the legend spud ! And the rope is petzle lovely rope even with my weight it doesn't go flat in the zigzag very little bounce !
  18. Few from today's windy willow ! I had a lovely view of Scarborough all day good lad on the ropes all ways makes a nice day !
  19. Wow that's not what I expected to see in the video nice view though ?
  20. Nice job last couple of days not touched a piece of brash
  21. Cant beat a good early start mate get cracked on and like u say if u want to do more and more money offered sound if there gunner treat u like a employee then that wasnt for me unfortunately people don't respect what effort it takes to complete jobs faster its not just hard work it's what u have to of done befor that day to gain that experience to be able to do it faster than there employee if they could of done it u wouldn't be there
  22. Unfortunately skill sets are not recognized wen it comes to payment time with some people! They are keen enough to blow smoke to get you there but once the tree or trees are completed especially if in a timely fashion those types have some strange logic that there chipper made the job fast or the weather was with us today or that was really lucky u could fell that big top [emoji849] it never stopped surprising me the absolute shit that people would come with instead of just saying thanks for your knowledge here is ur money get urself off home
  23. My thoughts exactly I really rate the 462 and like using the 5001 in the tree its great so light really good pick up not sure about its longevity and robustness but time will tell stihl have definitely upped there game massively with these two saws
