    Not far off the mark at 75-100 quid id say,get them planted asap in a wind sheltered patch if you can steve. They like good soil,slightly to the acidic side of the scale and good compost matter should go in first. The purple ones like the sun as it helps the plant promote is beautiful purple colour. Avoid planting in wet areas or in a crowded shrub area as they have short fibrous root systems and cannot tolerate competition from other plants. Crackers mate,if i was down your way id take them off your hands

    Ive got both and 8 times out of ten i use the hitch climber,zigzag is great(as ive said before) but i just prefer a knot in my fingers. Horses for courses and all that

    I went through lots of hitches and hitch cord combinations to find my perfect combination which is 75cm liros cord tied in a knut hitch run on 11.7 tachyon with a dmm triple attachment pulley. I really love it

    For me the hitch climber is the one i go too most but i use the zigzag when im in bigger trees so can zip around the tree without glazing my hitch cord,the zigzag is very smooth aswell. Both are great but if i had too choose it would be the hitch climber,when the zigzag fractures or fails a loler it'll be 120 notes to replace,where as the hitch climber is 10quid to replace hitch cord and away you go again. Im just a tight arse to be honest

    Go on youtube look up climbing arborist for lots of knots and great tips on hitches and on basic climbing systems.

    The green one is new england tachyon, looks like 11.5/7 mm, hard to see what the blue one was in the video.

    The wife used too work in retail as a shop manager,the stories she told me about how bloody rude some people are was really shocking.Plus the usual having to deal with the theiving swines.Im glad shes not in that enviroment anymore.Some people can be very rude to serving staff

    I hope so, cause with that kind of opinion hes gonna get someone seriously hurt
  24. stihlmadasever
    Eh...???? So you would rather risk droppin a chunk of wood onto a clients property than setup rigging. How is the tree rated at...i dont even understand that,if this is your genuine opinion mate you'll either cost your employer a fortune in liability insurance and lose your job or your career will be cut short by havin big balls and no brains (literally as you will have dropped a big section onto your own head)

    Ive mostly been able to make a nice brash pile and step cut and chuck into the brash pile. I could probably count on one hand the times ive had to put in blocks and capstans. To be fair i dont do many really big trees,targets below can be avoided by light rigging with slings and crabs.
