I like a flake in my connies,does that count...

In my opinion,an arborist is someone who has a university/college degree in arboriculture. Tree surgeons are the guys and gals who do the practical, dirty work of actual tree work day to day.Although there will be some who crossover and meet both criteria. Id class myself as tree worker-pretty simple really...

Use both ends of the rope to advance ie pull the end of your rope up to where your tied in (with your lanyard) throw your rope ahead ascend to that point lanyard in,pull up other end of rope throw ahead etc till you get high enough to get to a t.i.p that gives you the access you require around the tree. You will have to carry a prussik loop to use on the end of your rope when advancing the working end(spliced end) of the rope.Hope that made sense. This technic is used when the tree is taller than the length of rope your using. Didnt you get shown this on your cs38???

Hey all, Ive had a little ms180 for about 9 years,it gets little use nowadays so my plan is to do an exhaust/muffler(if your north american) modification on it to up the power,just too see how much i can get.If its a decent result i might look at modifying a larger saw,maybe ms261. My question is just how difficult is it ? Whats entailed? Im pretty mechanically minded so im capable(i hope) The 180 has no carb adjustment so is it possible just to mod the exhaust??? Thanks for all replies and advice in advance folks

Stihl do an advance cut protection jacket but its over 200quid. I have the stihl economy jacket and some of the squad have the xfit,both expensive and both shite. Husky jackets are better imo

Or buy chainsaw sleeves

Bat perhaps mick? Is that the stihl economy jacket

Hi and welcome to the forum mate,i came into tree work quite late in my career,many years as a gardener/groundsman. Climbing is the best job in the world imo,cold dry days in tree saw in hand...top of the world. Good luck-you"ll get loads of advice on these forums from experienced and knowledgeable people.

No cut protection on the ergo jacket.

Thats saws been around for a while. stihl say it wont go into Volume production but the knowledge gained during its development and testing will go into optimizing future stihl products. Carbon fibre Looks good though:thumbup1:

Working for my local council all purchases would have to go through my H.O.D, i seriously doubt he would go for it. Pretty good idea though,i can picture wot your describing in my head.
-
Surprised at that,when my employers sub contract tree work out its to save themselves money and try to cut corners. Glad your LA seem to putting safety before savings Good luck with the limes,have they pollarded before?
-
I would hope common sense prevails and the council close the road for you,however i know the council have to pay to have road/lane closures and i presume you are sub contractor so i think your on too plums my good man as in my experience the road closure would not have been costed in to the job.
-
When you ve got 12 limes to pollard in a morning shift,being able to break down and reset safe work zones quickly is imperative in maintaining good productivity. Hence we use cones,warning tape and banksmen etc
