  1. think the tree already had a small crack but Dorris extended it last week. Amazing how far the sap had risen for this time of year. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. Any chance of a pic of the tree in its entirety? Be a shame to take it down to be honest. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. If you have the money for the fast track course go for it. You may find that climbing isn't your thing but in equal measure you may find it is! Surely using the colleges kit under the guidance of an instructor is the safest way to learn. You may have to man up and push yourself if you don't like it and worst case scenario is you may be happier to be a groundie but you'll offer aerial rescue and have a good understanding of what is going on in the tree.

    The guy in the video comes across as a bit of a tool however are the examples he makes actually happening or not? Is he right or wrong? This isn't me taking sides or offering an opinion I am genuinely interested in the answers. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  10. I think new they are around £280 if memory serves I'd personally offer half price for the saw in question. I'd say that's fair to both parties. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  18. I have 540 v2 it's excellent IMO, just a quick one though due to auto tune when you first run it there is a process to follow and it took a few tanks of fuel to hit the sweet spot but mine runs awesome all of the time now. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Bank mowers ?

    Can you not rent a metrac with a flail on? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  20. Great tip! I think if you concentrate on thought and efficiency speed comes along naturally if you concentrate on speed you become flustered and end up being slow. The best climber I have seen for example sends everything down pointing the right way to be dragged and chipped and works around being conscious of his groundies and the speed of that TEAM is an awe to watch. If your cutting and dropping at 100mph you inevitably have to wait for your groundies to unpick a large pile of wood and chip it so it takes a lot longer to complete the job.

  23. How did the pop job go and what method did you decide on? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. I use a walk behind driven flail, amazing bit of kit and it destroys anything in its path. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  25. Why? Also by you voting leave are you not making Scotland a smaller place? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
