I tried to open it up (the exhaust) with the three torque bolts, but they seem to have loctited them.
-
Ok, will do.
-
And to you Darrin, got my wife a new wheelbarrow this year, she said she needed one in November, so I reckon that was a hint! Easy this Christmas present lark!
-
Is the leaf in the last picture representative of all the vine? Where are you geographically please? -
Hey John, I got myself one of these now and absolutely love it! How did you find the bar and chain change and exhaust opening? Did it help? I’m reluctant to change the chain as those little chains are a pita to sharpen. Maybe a pic of your exhaust if poss?
-
Yep, quite often I will set up a top or a big piece and look at it, look at the rope guy, look at it again, then reset it smaller and do it in two hits.
-
Sounds good, I don’t have a crankable device. Get some pics next time you do it.
-
Good luck. In all the years I’ve been doing it I’ve never had to lower a horizontal branch (spider leg, cradle whatever it’s called) there’s always a better, quicker way, ie 4/5 separate sections. I remember a whole day at Merrist Wood learning it with two ropes and one rope etc. Just an observation really.

Yeah, good thread, lots of guys going to work the last week or so thinking more about what happened here.
-
I reckon you’re right.

I pity the Gilet Jaune who comes at me when I’m using that saw!
-
quick sales demo vid of my 076 that I just sold to a guy in the UK, it gets pinched halfway through as the second log falls in, but a great saw. Vibrations are a bit much mind!

Then I shall change the “you” to “one”

Thing is Gaz, if you were to go on the arbtalk FB site you could have all sorts of fun with the kids on there about this sort of thIng, loads of pics, gifs and tagging your mates asking if this was them, the hilarity goes on forever. Maybe I’m wrong but I find it all a bit pointless getting knickers bunched up about this, it’s always going to happen, if one loses lots of work to those sort of outfits then the problem maybe isn’t them.
-
Yes, of course. Couldn’t care less. They provide a valuable service.
-
What’s wrong with that?
-
Just don’t do this and you’ll be ok.
-
I see my Swedish strop is no longer available. Can’t get on with the thin flips, hurts my hands.
-
Must be purgatory in that heat. Wetter than a horny otter’s fanny here..
-
Yes, it was a hell of a story (Skyhuck’s) very nasty indeed. It illustrates again the difference in species. A poplar will probably shatter a crown on impact whereas a beech crown will be more robust and do the old spring back thing.
-
Ok, I’m sort of free tomorrow so I will experiment and take some photos of my ideas, this could be as successful as my industry changing.....
-
Sure for critical stuff you get medieval.
-
Ha! However, by using a couple of Prussik loops on the line to be tensioned, a great deal of pull can be applied with a couple of kilos of dirt cheap gear.
-
Ok, the penny drops. Not attached to each other, working in tandem. Surprised this isn’t used more in tree work to tension felling lines.
