I see the harness didnt stop you falling in!

 

Might seem a daft question, why wear a harness on a boat or standing in a stream? Is it just for the convienece of stowing the saw?

Or to stop the boat floating away when you jumped out?

Wouldn’t a big winch rag the lot out? Or a 13 tonne plus excavator?

Yes to both questions. 
I don’t own either, so tried it with the avant winch and 2:1 pulley system. 
Not enough unfortunately.

To attach myself to the tree when  making cuts and organising the rope etc.  
But you’re right it was pointless.

Split oak over primary lines.

 

No problem for the zesty antipodean with an appetite for danger!

What sort of capacity does that hiab have?

[Mike Hill]

Over the road,like a prancing "Arbor-Stallion"

 

Not a big hi-ab,lifts about 6 tonn close in maybe?

[AHPP]

As far as I can tell, knuckleboom sizes are done in tonne metres. So if that blue one lifts 6 tonnes at 3 metres, it'd be an 18 tonne metre crane. On another thread a while ago you said you'd have used a 100 tonne hiab for something. Did you mean 100 tonne metre?

 

Internet not super clear on this subject. What's the common way people size and a describe them?
