    Your body weight on the body of the saw keeps the guidebar steady

    Wouldnt hold your breath on the council doin anything about it mate unless you can prove its dead,diseased or poses a threat to life or property. Just one question why are you intent on climbing it ? The trees on council land,your not doin any work too it soooo whats the point..? No offence intended bud just curious to your motives for the reccie climb

    500mm above your anchor point...thats straight out of industry best practice lol
  6. stihlmadasever
    Sit on the plastic cover behind the chainbrake lean over the guidebar and sharpen away

    A bit harsh me thinks...the guy obviously cares about his proffession,is that a bad thing...???
  8. stihlmadasever
    No...ive been climbing for a living over 3 years now and i still dont consider myself a climber

    Had a few ivy covered trees,its easier if its a removal just power pole pruner the crap off at the bottom spike up and saw all the crap off as u ascend but just as a reccie climb id be double lanyard climb till i got to a decent solid anchor point to tie in too.If in doubt mewp

    The zigzag is great but on small to medium trees i just find it cumberson espescally when working above your anchor point.HC is great if you get the right cord and hitch,dmm triple pulley with knut is my set up of choice

    Is there anyone here who can honestly say they havent done some horrible tree work for the sake of making money or because its what the client wants...very few if any. Blaming gypo's for poor work is easy but in reality we do it too
  13. stihlmadasever
    Agree with the above but you can also put the ends of the eye to eye inside the pinto pulley,i have this set up on my secondary with a swabish hitch,it tends well.
  14. stihlmadasever
    Sorry forgot too say,the hitch cord looks a bit bulky,try goin down a couple of mm for your eye to eye
  15. stihlmadasever
    Totally agree with the above,also the biner on the spliced eye side of the rope could cross load,best to use 2 oval biners for the hitch climber set up,u could try a VT hitch instead of a distel as the wraps are higher up because of the braids at the bottom of the hitch are opposite the spliced eye. Hope that made sense

    Interesting read this thread,2 things id like to point out-not all shoddy work is down to gypsies,ive seen some blatant destructive tree work done by well established,reputable tree companys and secondly if the cowboy was reported to the council..who's too say the council would do anything anyway.

    Rock exotica rope grabs r pretty good too

    Chainsaw maintenance is important as is learning about risk assessment and health and safety procedures.Learn the difference between tension and compression cuts.Everything else will come up on the coarse.Enjoy it

    Nothing surprises me with councils nowadays,absolute joke

    Hey all,Not really a thread just wanted to comment on the stein copious hitch cord.Ive been doing a LOT of small/medium trees of late,prunes + pollards and left the zigzag in the kit bag so ive gone to my ol faithful hitch climber setup. My usual is distel but since ive got the stein eye to eye ive been tryin some other hitches-knut and michoacan and both work really well with the cord,no lock ups or manual manipulation for adjustment,just really smooth decending and slack tending. If your a hitch climber give it a bash Thanks all stay safe

    Is there scope to take on UA trained staff to fulfill the contractual obligation mean while keep your present staff too do the domestic work..?
  22. stihlmadasever
    Thanks for the info mate,much appreciated.
  23. stihlmadasever
    The benefits that joe is talking about are habitat for bats,bugs and even airborn pathogens like fungi's etc.
  24. stihlmadasever
    I can see the ecological benefits but i think in an urban enviroment most people would be upset at leaving a tree in such a condition and questions would be asked regarding your sanity. Ecology vs aesthetic i suppose.
  25. stihlmadasever
    Thank you all for the information.
