I use a wire cored strop with my climbing line underneath with a blakes hitch as a back up and to descend on plus refueling saws. As simple as it gets.
-
Mornings work max, easy enough. You can get the chipper and van right next to it.
-
I'd say there's maybe 2 hiding behind there. I'll start the bidding at £480.....

It's called Society, you can't just keep all your money, you have a good business, well done you, but don't forget the roads you drive on, the police who stop you being attacked by bands of thieves, and prevent you being extorted by gangsters, the nurses and doctors who delivered your children and look after you and yours when you're ill. They deserve pensions surely? You want to see the return of workhouses? That'll learn 'em! No one "likes" paying but it's the price you pay for living in a civilised, well governed, affluent country like most in Western Europe where the less able or fortunate (or even lazy) don't die in the streets.

http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/106556-desperado-staff-2.html#post1558452 Ahh mystery solved. I didn't pm OMT, I did think your participation bizarre though.

This looked like a good idea.

Nice end to the week 15 or so oaks to come out within reach of a house, nothing major, drawn up mostly. No good action pics but, like many, I get caught up in the job and miss out of the best shots. Lots of winching, blowing chip back in the wood and rough "stacking" with the tractor loader. 21 degrees here, glorious spring day.

Thought so, I just cannot picture any dog making those wounds though. Getting a terrier type dog to jump and swing (with its jaws) off a branch is easy, to gnaw at a trunk?
-
Just throwing it out there, that looks a bit like horse damage, if there are no horses maybe deer?
-
It's good, no harm in the guys pushing their stuff.

It was 22 years ago mind, I'm not discounting the possibility that I may have forgotten some aspect of the paperwork I filled in!
-
I did the 10 weeker at Merrist wood in 95. Paid my money and turned up.
-
20 years ago you could do exactly that. (Take a college course without a job)
-
Gutted..

Can't access pic.

:cool23:Ongoing investigation eh?
-
If that's a question, the answer is no, what are you talking about?
-
Agree with all of that (no clapping hands emoji though Dave)
-
You live in Devon not Hobbiton. What's that carry? (Alex's pick up) Less than 2 cube? Any six inch chipper will fill that in 10 minutes. A standard takedown, including wood removal will involve countless trips which will mean one guy wasting all day behind a wheel. I had a LR 130 tipper and (reliability aside) as a main chip truck they're a waste of time.
-
I just cannot see the point in such a tiny chip box. Ruined a perfectly good pick up for the price of a transit tipper.
-
Nice blue sky pics of some top gear OMT. Two seconds after the photo I bet you let your gut out though! What a relief.
-
Huh? You've got spikes on, spike up it.

The worst thing you can hit with a saw

I'm told a plastic bottle of fermented "Scania Scotch" on the side of the road can be just as unpleasant. -

Victorian cast iron fencing. Grinder isn't too fond of it either!
