This is why forwarders got levelling rams tor the kingpost mount. The slewing is by rams working a rack against a smallish diameter ring gear, poor torque but if it's level and the load in free air no problem. My cranab 4510 exerts a fair slewing force for dragging long lengths but fails if it is not level, even with four 4" rams acting on the ring gear. A digger has a motor with a small gear working on a large diameter ring gear doesn't it? Big mechanical advantage.

Dunno, smell it.

Or Ragley Hall.

Is that an anal bead in the top pic?

Valid point, ali would be just as good I reckon.

Just too used to a digger which never struggles!

I've worn the carbon ones before and they are impressively light. You do stand on them though so how much they weigh is fairly negligible in my opinion

Daily general edc. Often a spare lighter as the zippo is the unreliable enemy of the nicotine afflicted. Little key ring torch with an impressive full beam and equally impressively short battery life at full beam. Annoyingly lots of different modes to cycle through (including a blue and red flashing emergency strobe for overtaking middle lane hoggers) but i just hold down the button for full beam and release to turn off.

Most cranes struggle slewing with a load. Bring it in closer, and use the rotate to get it moving in the right direction before you start slewing.

I thought my carbon geckos were ridiculously expensive when I first bought them, but they’ve turned into one of the best bang for buck purchases I’ve ever made. Must be knocking on 20 years old now. Don’t wear them to walk across tarmac or concrete. Or to the pub.

Its a pearlescent powder mixed with resin the i get a tooth pick and swirls it about.

There is nothing specific about this in legislation, and I am not aware of any case law. The LPA has 2 roles. It has to decide if the trees are important enough to be protected, this can be relevant to trees on and off site. If important they should be retained and protected. BS5837 etc blah blah. What is questionable is whether it should be protecting what amounts to encroachment and possible common law nuisance. It also has to decide whether the CA tree is so important for the amenity of the area that it should be TPOd. The reason is that generally a planning application replaces the need for a separate CA notification or TPO application. So it could TPO the tree and prevent any development that would harm it. This could exceed the RPA, which is really just a temporary made up thing that only preserves about 1/4 of the roots. Remember, CAs don't imply the trees are important. It's jsut a precaution to allow the LPA to decide if they are in the context of any threat to their remvoal or harm.

As GarethM has said, push the lever to the full return position and the lever will remain in that position retract fully and stop, push it part way and when its at the required distance back, let go of the lever and it will stop wherever it is currently. this feature would suit your style of splitting varying lengths

Logs are just a wet weather / slack days sideline for me, I only do about 50m3 every year.

I definitely need to retain that feature. My current splitter has a guide rod that you can manually set to stop the ram fully returning. That’s fine if all my logs were cut to the same length, but they’re arb scraps so I currently cut them for easiest splitting. 12” on straight grained stuff, down to 4” on knotty euc or similar. Being able to stop the ram where I want would be a dream.

There does seem to be very few posts in the tree work sections now ....although it was quite common to argue about which chainsaws were the best ...but now it is undoubtedly STIHL there is little to discuss / argue about !!😁

I have one which I use for pressure / vac testing, not had any issues with it as yet, done 100's of tests, not aware of a shrader valve in them as they flow in both directions or am I missing something?

And never tried the Edelrid tallon a great piece cause of its positioning on the leg.

Missed this. Underappreciated comeback IMO. She does have a decent old cock on her tbf.

Most people see a decent pair of spikes as an investment over many years. Not the OP though. He posted asking for advice then got all jewish and bought a pair off Amazon...

To think this guy actually believes new outlets are the sources and not reporting on what the source reveal. This is the problem on the left when they have room temperature IQ drones blindly swallowing everything they read.
