As far as I understand, you can choose to wear type A trousers, as opposed to the recommended type C ones. However you must justify your actions. I do this for two reasons. Firstly the lack of range of movement, even with modern fabrics. Secondly the heat issue. I find this a greater hazard than the reduction in saw protection. I justified & recorded my decision.

If the rope has a knot in it, then that will be the week point - splice Is the way to improve strength. Without a sling, your half hitch will probably reduce rope strength by up to 40%

Was there a drain plug in the tank origonally? Might have drilled it & bodged a fix

If you do not require hold from the hinge, you only need enough wood to allow you to complete your bore cut without the tree compressing & trapping your saw.

It's a forestry job - the fact that the landowner does not take a cut would pay for the awkward stuff. Simple maths IMO

They are having the best & you the worst out of the deal. I would explain that the easy stuff pays for the rest, so they have 2 options. Either pay for the works on the reduced contract or let you have the timber as per the origonal spec. I'd be very tempted to walk away & leave them too it.

Good to read you again!

I find side tips are easy & efficient - in many way better - have you ever run one?

Remember, when mounting an hiab on a smaller wagon that you can soon exceed your front axle weight. Even if you don't exceed your GVW

Chain tension variation like that is usually an oiling issue. Chain expanding & contracting due to heat build up is my guess

Nice job Simon & some great kit too

I have seen the arrows be incorrect.....

Trailer Brakes while parked backwards down hill
Pete Mctree replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Large equipment
I thought your trailer brakes disengaged going backwards, but the handbrake worked. -
Well planned & executed job - some great cutting & rigging
