    Blowing the top out of a tree!

    that was the hinge holding, then starting to split upwards a little due to a knot that I did not see. It was a very wide gob as the head had to be swung sideways as well as back below me. If I had cut any further out it would not have had the weight to pull it all the way accross. I did have...

    Chainsaw injury poll.

    I managed to give my arm a little kiss just below the right bicep. Nothing that a bit of surgery to repair the artery could not solve though Never climb without protective trousers, not a risk i ever considered before or since

    hedge trimmers

    With the proffesional ones, the rotating rear handle saves alot of pain in the wrists and elbows, & allowing you to walk eitherway cutting a hedge cutting up or down. A massive advantage over single sided cutters

    Chainsaw lanyard

    [ QUOTE ] The MS660 in the pic below cost me £700.00(US$1400) of my own hard earned cash - it stays attached to me at all times [/ QUOTE ] Same here. If in doubt I just clip the saw into the tree.

    Treemotion for Rescuing?

    [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] What 'casualty' is sitting 'very comfortably' ???? [/ QUOTE ] Laz2 also puts a soft cushion behind the casualty's head with an adjustable lanyard to hold the cushion in place. But only after it has passed EN 324.45..blah blah blah. [/ QUOTE ] lol

    Treemotion, again....

    After reading this thread I dumped my treemotion and went back to my bflyI this afternoon. I will not be climbing on it again, The TM is far more comfortable for me, less pinching and better leg loops. Tockmal, what have looks got to do with it?

    Dog excrement - serious arb question?

    How can anyone drop there harness in dog [censored]? Do you not look and just sling it on the floor? I have refused to work in some infested gardens and even offered to change the spec to cut and leave. I will not subject myself or my staff to haveing to carry brash instead of dragging it...

    Howd you get thru a brake down?

    I've done the same, but was never smart enough to use a pulley. Nice thinking

    Another thinker

    Ah, that makes sense of the photo now. Did you release some of the tension on the pulling line to prevent the stem moving forward and pinching the bar when boring the hinge?

    Another thinker

    Great job, thanks for sharing. Looks like a riggers dream (or nightmare depending on what moment you catch them at ) On the pic of the stem being felled it appears that he is boring out the centre of the hinge AFTER the back cut? I'm surely wrong and it's just a marker cut or a bore cut?

    Liability associated with cabling?

    Being antagonistic, it could be argued that if a tree is cabled, you are comfirming the fact that it has either potential, or actual structural flaws. Therefore is inherantly unsafe. Both sides of the argument hold merrit, in this case where the landowner is seeking to sue i'd just turn tail...

    Bar length on a climbing saw...

    I like the 12", nice compact and better chain speed in the cut. The 14" and 16" especially seems to drag and slow chain speed when buried in wood
