Maybe just get new bars mate
-
Sounds to me like theyre jamming when the metal heats up and expands,then cooling off and freeing up again.Might be a lubrication problem.Have you checked if the bar is getting oil?
-
Thats one point of view and refreshing to hear,but you've missed the point completely,its not about being pleasant and being nice too people(i would hope we are already)its about people putting thyre own safety at risk by blatantly disregarding a dangerous area. The fact that an entire area is coned off with warning signs put up and all safety measures put in place people are still willing to put THERE lives at risk to shave a few seconds of theyre travelling time. But i guess you thinks its ok for people to put themselves at risk as long as i look cool up a tree while drinking tea and munching biscuits eh Oh and my tolerence died yesterday when i was verbally abused for doing my job.

Did u get the git
-
Haha thats a good un for the future! We actually nearly went ahead with the job but the gaffer thought better of it:thumbdown:
-
Wish i could have done that today joe...no such luck the barsteward locked it

Hey all, Were currently pollarding our street limes,so some lane closures,paths coned off,warning tape,signs,banksmen- the works. Yet members of the public still persist too blatantly try and walk through coned off areas,complain that they have to park theyre car 10 foot further away from there house and generally be morons. We left an area coned off,went for lunch and came back to find some idiot had moved the cones and parked the car in the area we needed to work in. Some of you more experienced guys are probably used to this type of behaviour but im still relativley new to tree work so the publics blatant disregard for there own safety gauls me. Id be interested to hear your stories of people being blatantly moronic. Cheers

In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!
stihlmadasever replied to silky fox's topic in The Lounge
Keep us posted how you get on with the course silky,its something ive been considering lately and ur feedback would be appreciated.good luck -
Obviously forst are the manufacturers but are they also the suppliers? If not id cut out the middle man-in this case suppliers-and go straight to forst. Failing that,go to the press,big companies hate negative press.
-
A good supplier would swap with new machine,if not persue through the courts.
-
No offence intended joe just makin a point:001_smile:
-
As above -ive never worn hiflex
-
Never said that joe, read the thread.simon@bgs said his last pair of highflex lasted well and he liked the fit etc so i replied to him and quoted his thread. Hmmmf:001_tt2:
-
If ur climbing i recommend type c trousers,all round protection. Let us know how u get on,and the snarlinbadgers got a good point-arb shows are great for picking up stuff that wee bit cheaper.
-
Yip new england tachyon
-
You've answered your own question really,you like hiflex,they last well so get wot u know.Check ebay fr decent prices on hiflex,i see lots of them goin at reasonable prices
-
All climbing trousers are expensive imo,ive never worn hiflex so i ccouldnt comment,but breathflex are 200quid,its an expensive punt mate.As for xfit,yeah they re good but again very expensive. Have you priced husky trousers?
-
Depends what your using them for really, ground or climbing. For me i climb with them so they're not worth the price tag,the crotch split on mines pretty quick,the back support pad is very stiff and rubs against your back,the front belt loops are very wide appart creating a nice big baggy area great for catching woodchips. That said thre are some plus points to the breathflex trousers,there light,fairly breathable and look good. I recently converted to pfanner gladiators and only were them or stihl xfit (when my pfanners are in the wash). Others may recommend them but my opinion is they're not worth the guts of £200 price tag.
-
What zigzag story is that then???
-
Pollarding our street limes,lots of lane closures....so that means lots of abuse....great
-
So yes u can use it then
-
Ive had a 35 meter 13mm marlow gecko rope for couple of years,its held up well.
-
I use old krabs on my harness for slings, prussik etc,u cant use it for life support or lanyard though if it failed its loler.
