Early series 2A's had the lights in the grill, mid and late 2A's in the wings. you got them both probably a previous owners bright idea. do you have a plastic interior or spartan metal one? 

Bit of useless info, you got the "deluxe" Bonnet

 

 

Anyway, going off track, There was no way that tree, with that side wind and that pulling angle was ever going to land on the grass

( All metal - alloy plate reworked with new switch gear )

( thats how you get tall trees over - two bull ropes n a valtra )

Personally I would't use a landrover I could't rely on it to do a 10 meter pull without it breaking down,

Can always use them as ground anchors.

Im rather jealous of your shiny capstan.  Is it any good for skidding?

Assuming the tree was sound, Do you think a decent hinge would have broken early with that side wind assuming the gob was set correctly?

The sound profile of the cutter's saw didn't instil a great deal of confidence that he was a competent feller...  Which might leave open the question of face cut and back cut accuracy and hinge integrity?  Just thinking out loud....

Yup, I listened carefully to the saw in the film and there was a Definately point where he stopped, then carried on cutting, but the truck didn't  move to tension the rope. Dimension yr hinge an cut to it- possibly he thought 'just a bit more '...... K
