You dont need to read anything in that section. You do know that, right?

Morning all, Fine weather again. Not a big job today, but part of it includes climbing and reducing a hawthorn. Ouch.

If the dialogue and conversation in the lounge do not interest you, or you find it difficult to hear views contrary to your own, then why not simply ignore the posts in their? Discussion and debate are an integral component of a society and without it the layers of forced rhetoric and media driven mass acceptance of approved opinions would become the norm.

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.
