forestry,

lopping in forestry?

got my first big scare the other day, at about 60ft, rigging down blocks, the half hitch jumped off of the peg that was holding it and slid, as it slid it caught my scare strap (i had flicked it over the front of the rigging line) and it pulled me out the tree, slid 10 foot down the stem......learnt one very good lesson off of it.

that and i spent my moring chunking down a stem today with a 92 link bar on a 288 at 10 meters i stopped and it was felled, oh and i only have my basic climbing a chainsaw tickets...oops

jamie glad to hear u r ok wounded pride ?

those valuable lesson's are in my experience what change a qualified climber, into a wise climber, they just can't teach you the feeling you get when you think your going to really get messed up

me i 'think twice ' cut once ' n just before i cut a quick look @ rigging n lines

 

[Mr_Brushcutter]

depends how many men / teamsyou got min £2.5K

Intresting. It would only be one team of up to 5 people. Only two of which would hold NPTCs the others would be there for work experence / clearing up.

lessons learnt

pride wasnt bashed too badly....woke me up quick smart... had a bit of a laugh about it, arms a bit ragged after hugging the stem on the way down, got the rest of the week down so far with no excitement

hmm

nah, not as good the volvo mount is, in my opinion better, that looks like it makes a bit of a mess....the ahwi head seems just better, reckon, down side is it needs a donky engine...

jamie

 

[Thor's Hammer]

OK....
I've seen both, and I have my own opinion.
Now tell me if the ahwi will do this -

Mental,Would that not damage the teeth?.

 

[Thor's Hammer]

they did that to show how tough the teeth are. if you look closely, youl see it actually mulches the engine and gearbox too. the last shot shows the teeth untouched....
