I use the Wolf ones as a subby, with a saw head on then sling and crab. It always makes me laugh that they have a 35 year guarantee on the card, they probably do 35 weeks and maybe 35 months but certainly no chance whatsoever of 35 years. bahco have a shorter telescopic pole 1.1-2.1m that's supposed to be good for in a tree or MEWP. https://www.bahco.com/us_en/aluminium-compact-telescopic-poles-pb_atp-110-210_.html

Smart idea, like it. I guess that is partly it, usually try to have 3 around when rigging as it makes everything easier.
-
I would have said it's a bit like willow, quite wet when green then quite light when dry. Burns just fine although a little fast, I've gone through quite a bit.

I've got the lighter one, not used it a huge amount to be honest. It says it should be a 13mm line so I used old climbing rope, it was a bit stiff so was going to try 12mm Sirius next as that is nice and soft. I have a rigging ring on spider sling that gets used a lot as it's so convenient, the disadvantage of that is it is quite hard to pull things back up. Have a small spruce over a garage to do in a couple of weeks and I'm hoping the wrench finds its sweet spot there as lower limbs need pulling up, upper ones will come down in bunches and I can hold the line while they guide branches down safely.

Whats your multione loader doing today ?

I want to see who pushed it off after you'd put the step cut in! -
You need to put it behind a Fiesta, not a Mog Bob!
-
I know a ground lad who had a pair of these, the Lite seemed to mean not very strong and they were not durable.
-
I've got a 6 foot trailer that "tips", it pivots around the axle so not actually that helpful at tipping logs out. The back goes down as the front goes up, not very steep and the pile instantly blocks the rest of the logs.
-
Exactly. I couldn't take that on site and keep a straight face.
-
Just looking at that again, looks like they removed a dead branch? The cut face looks like mush already, and the stub on the left can't be great with those brackets on. The question is how much of stem is gone, I would guess the branches above will start to die back pretty soon as that advances.
-
Is that right though, surely Joseph was in his workshop in Belgium a fair old time ago?
-
This could be it.
-
Id want to have a close look but I took one down recently that had brackets on, what I found when cut was worse than I thought it would be from looking at the outside before.

How important is product availability to you?
Dan Maynard replied to Mark_Skyland's topic in General chat
Mail order forms used to say "Please allow 28 days for delivery" -
Seems like @Reg Coates has joined the club! https://youtu.be/dTvfGVJIiMU

Maybe, or crank seals. It wants a pressure/vacuum test ideally, then you know if that's what you are looking for.
-
I'm trying to imagine where the design aesthetic was created for that Ego saw, it certainly wasn't Apple.
-
Pretty much exactly my route. I'm still working arb part time, age 50. There are advantages and disadvantages to the part time, some recovery in between jobs, can be a nightmare balancing everything going on but never ever dull. I think you need to get going with some arb somewhere, see how interested in trees you are. If you're not interested in trees then it will become boring raking and clearing up in the rain.

As above, I wouldn't order stuff not in stock and I'd pretty soon stop using a site where I regularly ordered stuff to find unexpectedly that it wasn't going to turn up when due. I think you're doing it right, show live stock levels the best you can. -
That's a good question, haven't heard from him for a good while.
-
Air leak? If it needs half choke to start then over revs.
-
I have two separate rings on the bridge, so if I need to clip two lines it gives them a little bit of room rather than crowd onto one. Does mean you need to avoid crossing them over though else the bridge does a crazy twist that doesn't look good at all.
-
My dad's sledgehammer always had a slight curve to the handle, I could use it comfortably one way up but not the other way. Axe would be annoying as it doesn't work so well upside down.
-
Definitely worth a go cleaning up the cylinder, anyway it's cheap to try and there's a good chance it is ok underneath the layer of aluminium that's come off the piston. Exhaust side will pick first as hotter, and less oil. Once the aluminium transfer starts then it increases friction so gets even hotter.

I browsed Witham when looking for new wheels and tyres for my Defender, things did seem to say "reserve not met" so not sure exactly how that works in reality at the end of the auction. I decided I couldn't wait and went aftermarket in the end.
