I used to have an Hinowa manual with track mot0r diagrams, the  final drive were an italian firm with a name like Bernouli but...

 

I found this (forgive the chinglish):

The swash plate motor and axial pistons circled blue provide the rotational power. The disc brake is applied by the springs and released when pressure is sent to the motor , a shuttle valve then allows pressure from either the forward or reverse lines to operate the brake piston to release the brake via a shuttle valve. The shuttle moves from the pressure side to block off the line to the other side.

 

Got it. Clever.

Just a thought,  the wire doesn't look that tidy on the drum.

Possibly just the wire tightening  up on the drum under load and releasing slack.

Like I said just a thought 🙂

I had that thought but was letting the more knowledgeable lead the way.

Appreciate the input.

We’ve done loads of testing, it’s not that.

On a three day job at the minute which the unbelievably dry weather has made a joy.

100m long garden with the bulk of the work at the bottom.

WQ and chipper down the lawn without using any boards.

A couple of weeks back you would have needed a hovercraft.

Everything staying in the ‘wild’ area.

 

Most challenging aspect was getting an overstood cob stand over a 10’ deep gulley.

High crane point in an ash saved the day!

Always love a wild area!

Spoke too soon, love a wild area unless there's a bee's nest 5m up the tree. Abandoned that job for today, come back with a plan another day.....

Two tree work posts in a row with ladders.

Hang on, hang on. Let me check.

 

Edit

No, sorry, no photos of my ladder, but I used one to get a rope up into the ivy-covered tree, I swear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: 2 sycamore, first with one half growing through the overhead wire, took enough off the top to pull it under the wire and into the farmer's field. Second one needed a few straggly limbs snipped to protect the cable stay on the pylon, then pulled down away from the wire.

Wood blocked up (SMALL stove door specified... oh well), feathery bits heaped up for the woodlice to enjoy. Dogs walked, many sticks to choose from.

At 52, I'm all about the easiest way of gaining height. Always got ladders on - just bought those new, the old ones were worn out and rungs all coming loose.
