biner on the strop eyelet....easy
-
I really dont see a problem using a top handler on the ground,its bloody safer than in tree,no matter how good a work position you've achieved.All chainsaws are dangerous and all it takes is one little brain fart and you've copped a sore un. Lets be honest here ive spiked up the first 12 feet to the first limb with no flipline,ive one handed a rear handled saw while cutting stems,ive changed anchor points and not used my lanyard cause i was comfortable standing in a crotch,im a wrong un and should be locked up for my crimes against hse,and u know wot i dont care-i do what i do and thats that..i know the risks involved im an adult

best braces for keeping up chainsaw trousers?
stihlmadasever replied to flatyre's topic in General chat
Both stihl and husky do good braces,avoid the stein ones theyre bloody awful -
Ive recently went from a miller komet butterfly harness to the treemotion superlight and i really like it,its early days but ive no problems with it,1 small issue as is mentioned above is its a step into harness rather than the click shut fasteners. Its a comfy harness and to me thats the most important part. Also has lots of pre manufactured holes to add caritools or krabs and personalise your harness to your own specification which again i really like. I found harnesses are very personal thing and whats right for one person might not be for another. Hope this helps mate

I think you would be better pacing yourself and getting the relevant qualifications first ie-basic chainsaw maintenance and felling up to 380mm,then tree climbing and aerial rescue. If you have enough money next year or at the end of this year go for chainsaw off rope and harness and sectional felling. Give yourself a bit of time mate,i know your hungry to progress and want to do well but sometimes its better to get practical experience(especially using a chainsaw) first before you go all in.

Thats true joe- our squad has all has silky slashes...non too serious thankfully.
-
Thanks steve thats a good point i hadnt concidered,i was watching a certain mr coates on youtube earlier comparing the 2 saws and he like most of the guys here is pro 150. Id still like to know what the husky has to offer,after bringing out the 540(which is a demon of a saw imo) surely the t536 will have something to compete with the all singin all dancing 150
-
Case in point today,pruning an alder and every route i took involved bits jammimg in my harness or ear defenders,no chainsaw only the zubat but had the visor down most of the time i was in tree,had a near miss with a twig in the eye ball last year-i was lucky:001_smile:

Chicken pie ?

I fear your slightly biased being your a silky fox by name..lol Isnt the husky T536 battery powered and marketed as a site sensitive saw

RIP alan rickman He made the character severis snape,.Amazing actor-did a lot for charity too.
-
Not to mention the forearms a silky gives you,makes popeye jelous..
-
Ive read the 150 is a great little saw,light and balanced and due to the size its great for work positioning etc. Anyone have anything on the husky ?
-
Some local authorities-not all-have a policy of only allowing companies who meet a certain criteria tender for contracts. I would add ive never heard of any council stipulating what equipment you have as a factor in this. It all sounds very strange too me as i dont see how it affects the council if a sub contractor turns up with a hired mewp or there own...as long as the job gets done on time to the letter whats the difference ??? Id querie it with the council TO for clarification

Hi all, Been doing a lot of pruning/crown thinning at work of late and this kind of work reinforces just how important a tool the silky is.As we've seen of late the big two,stihl and husqvarna have brought out small top handlers for pruning purposes,the stihl 150tc and huskys T536. Now never having used either saw i have no biase at all,but i like to hear some opinions on these saws...are they really as good as ive read and are they a genuine replacement for a silky and if so are we seeing the start of the death of silky..

In my experience its the companies who do all types of work that are busiest.This means tree work,hedges,gardening,hard and soft landscaping,stump removal even full garden clearences. Its very difficult to keep busy 7 or even 5 days a week in tree work alone.

Can i just add 120 notes for 3 days is a f#@*n joke
-
Dont worry i speak fluent jon...he says charge the contractor you do the subbie work for loss of earning.

Its something you would have to look into but in a world thats health and safety daft,if there isnt h&s advisory roles in arboriculture already then there soon will be.
-
Depends on how happy you are in your current job really,if your feeling unhappy then id say go do your basic chainsaw ticket and take it from there. As others have said dont expect good money,maybe some weekend work with a local company to start off. you might have to juggle family time though. Just a thought but what about H&S advisor in arboriculture..
-
Thats really impressive mate.awesome work
-
If your using a pushing chain or top end of the bar to undercut the fuel will be dropping to one side of fuel tank.Take the fuel cap off and make sure the fuel filter isnt jammed at one side of the tank. While your doin that check the fuel line in the petrol tank for twists or flat areas. Im no expert but this has happend to me
-
Nice vid joe enjoyed that. Looked like you enjoyed topping it too...
