Not sure if you can see in the pic but this is on my pm crane which works well. Not a huge travel the thing that worries me with the recoil tings is how long will the seal last with a bit of frost and dust.

it is very simple to do but not describe all you have to do is have the pipe all in a flat plane so they slide somthly and stringt with clapps holding them every so often

i would look at kesla and cranab sites as you will see the idea

KESLA - The Multi-talent In Forest Technology

I can get some pics of how not to do it. Complete with orange bailer twine and tyraps and anything else that came to hand.

 

I think i know that timber crane! got the crane all in bits now welding new pipe clamps on and giving it a coat of paint and got the king post in bits to sort out the play in the slew ring, got a new Farmi grab and rotator. cut the crane off the trailer so it can be used on the 3 point linkage or the trailer, should be all finished next week i,l post some pics.

Its not easy to do keep pipes in place, tec reels best example I remember are in the extensions to ponsse harvesters , pipes together held in a loop as in the video suffer from torture as in pics below, kesla now have a system of pipes in an enclosed metal case with the pipes held in place with pulleys but even with this they can jump and stretch, pipes enclosed in a form of plastic interlocking tracking look good and tidy but ? how safe in forest environment . I notice botex now have 2 pipes either side of crane and Steve? your last toy has saggy pipes? on the extention, good luck in sorting it out

I was going to put a pic up but it actually looks good in a photo. Look forward to seeing some pics of the outfit when its had some love. I never seem to get the time to overhaul things seems to take forever to source parts these days. I think there is a full time job here gardening and changing oil
