    GRCS gripping

    Wow, quick response, thank you. Can I get these springs from a chandlers? I got a new handle once from a chandler near me so I guess they could get me the springs.

    GRCS gripping

    My GRCS has done quite a lot of work now and I admit that we don't switch over to using the bollard as much as we should do, so the winch is very smooth now, and we are struggling to lift stuff that I'm sure used to be much easier. I can hardly remember what it should be like. How rough the...

    do you fall off or out ?

    I get out of my tree at the end of the week, if that helps!

    Dude makes tree look like his haircut

    Th eproblem with regular pollarding is that you have to get the owner to pay for it. If they won't pay for often then you get what is shown in this video. Or maybe this is early on in the pollarding process for this tree and over the years it will get better. Maybe he has left a mess for...

    Re: To all European/Australian/New Zealand Members The girl in the first pic is from Australia, and the second pic (as Kathy said) NZ. Did you really see Stihl chainsaw pants? Why would someone from overseas make the effort to bring chainsaw pants? Beddes wears stihl trousers with no...

    ITTC in St. Louis...and the winner is...

    My main point was things could have been different for many reasons, but things are how they are. Don't worry about offending anybody in Europe, especially me, I'm not offended in any way. I guess as I wasn't there that I should concede, and keep out of this conversation, but if the points...

    Pre-lim points in Masters

    Sure Tom, different view but same result. FWIW I'm sure Beddes does not consider profit when he climbs.

    Pre-lim points in Masters

    Sure you could bring prelim points into the masters, maybe on a scale, so if climber A scored 180 in prelims he gets 18 bonus points on the masters, Climber B has 175 points so he gets 17.5 bonus points towards the masters. That in itself is a good idea Tom. I'm still uneasy about the...

    Changing the name of your company

    Noel, do you have your entire customer list on computer? As a data base or just as a mass of word files for each quote that you ever done? If you can get it all into a data base even a very simple one on Excel will do, then its easy to write one letter and print it out (mail merge I think its...

    [ QUOTE ] There is no doubt that this one could have gone several different ways. Imagine if Miguel had gotten in the Master as well. I believe he was right on Bernds heels after prelims. I think this speaks to the level of competition and the quality of the field top to bottom. Not much...

    Pre-lim points in Masters

    He who excells under the prelim pressure may not be he that excells under the masters pressure. And its those pressures that bring out the winner. Bringing profit and loss scenarios into the comp scene is dodgy ground, comps are to improve climber knowledge and safety not business profit and...

    static line and grcs?

    But the GRCS works on a 10 to 1 also! Its rated safe at 2000lbs because its tested to 20,000lbs. So a rope rated at 19000 lbs would be perfect

    [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] PS. I don't think that you needed to cut notches for the rigging ropes. I do beech all the time and have not had them slip out ever. But, that being said, if you felt that you needed it, then I would've made them too! [/ QUOTE ] I lost a big piece of beech once while...

    [ QUOTE ] Rupe, what 13/14mm static line would you recommend for lifting? [/ QUOTE ] I don't know, I've not used any yet. I just know that my 16mm samson double braid has quite a bit of stretch that needs to be wound up before it starts lifting. And it doesn't always lock off perfectly...

    Beech TD

    Roger, thats a 16mm line in the photos not 3/4 inch (which is 19mm?) Thats the only lowering rope I've got, it has to do everything. I have been meaning to get a 1/2 inch line for a while but other shiny things keep getting in the way. We can crank stuff with that line ok, a more static 13 or...

    Stihl images

    I'm trying to create a document that will be part of a risk assessment for each job. I want to include images of kit just to brighten it up a bit, but this will then serve as a checklist so we have the right kit for each job. I've found web based images for nearly everything but I want some...
