The length of the cambium saver would only be an issue when you're working right up against it at the top, otherwise the effective height of your anchor as regards rope angle etc. remains where the cambium saver is anchored

Where did you get those rings from? Are you based in the UK? I've only found them on a Japanese website If cost is an issue you can get a (non-adjustable) Stein cambium saver for £37 from Gustarts

I'm sure most trainers who run the full course could accomodate a refresher course, have you asked anyone?

"Thank you for your inquiry. We do not build the H-2 with a grease fitting. There is no need. There is nothing to grease. No bearings or bushing. Someone took it upon themselves to "improve" the H-2 by going to a fair amount of effort to add something that does absolutely no good. If you think about it, the spool is locked solid when it is doing what it does best: providing a means of taking wraps and controlling the descent of sections of tree. When the spool is moving it is in the process of taking out slack in the lowering line or raising a piece to clear an obstacle. The action of raising is slow and deliberate by design, therefore no heat is generated, nor appreciable wear on the spool. I hope this answers your question. Feel free to contact me anytime. Please acknowledge receipt of this email. Thank you. Donald F. Blair, president Blair's Arborist Equipment, LLC"

Is the Grease nipple something you've added in @AHPP? We have a H2 that doesn't have one, just a hole. Can't find any maintenance instructions other than what's on it

I'd use some Propellar, pack the data sheet with the kit for customs to see. I think as long as the kit is clearly free from mud and organic matter (sawdust, leaves etc), particularly on your boots AND you've given it a scootch with an Arb specific disinfectant then there's not much more you can do?

I'm looking at specing an Arb truck with a tipping chip box, currently looking at Tipmaster. Saving weight on the body is a priority as we need to maximize the (legal) payload. It won't be getting abused and regularly overloaded as we'd need to keep everything kosher. What are folks opinions on ally tipper beds vs steel? I've heard some possibly apocryphal stories about ally beds tearing when tipping but I'm guessing they were massively overloaded? The extra 120kg of payload an ally floor would give over steel would be valuable.

The Defiance doesn't look dissimilar to the Innovation in terms of length, which is what I found annoying about it for climbing in. I used to wear old goretex jackets as they were fairly hard wearing for tree climbing but the zips would always go, Musto do a goretex smock that might be alright?

I would also look to get to the Deutsche Baumflegetage in Augsburg at the end of April. Trade fair day tickets are like €25 and there will be lots of people to network with and ask questions if.
