Nah mate, Joe had ordered one from Jonesie so went down to pick it up. I needed to get hold of some rope so hitched a lift to see new shop.

That's a fair old trek isn't it? Couldn't wait for the next day delivery Joe?

Verry nice angle's on the zz silky fox . Get to see little things the mags and such miss. Dose any one who used HC or SJ now on the ZZ miss any old fetures yet? . Like third conection hole on the HC and the gap between hitch and pulley to make a loop for hulling saws etc.

 

I apologise for all the abreviations

 

Looks a verry refined piece of gear

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Logic to me would say its no better than a HC that's well set up. A HC has the 3rd hole which allows you creat some different configurations.

Although its a device designed to put on and use being consistent from the day you use it, and from what I understand remain consistent as it wears.

 

I really want to give it a go my expectations are it will not be an improvement over a HC it will just be device that requires minimum fuss and work in the same way as the HC which is a good thing for me and my preferences for DRT work positioning over srt.

 

I agree, the HC will take some beating, would add as I do a lot of heavy work with 65's up top that the ability to lower and have pulled up to the work position of the saw through the HC set up is a gem of a trick.

 

Been using a hc set up but I think this is far better, more consistent like you say unlike hc when your friction hitch gets wet and tightens. People are mentioning using the rope wrench I presume they mean for srt
