    Looks great Reg - a proper truck.

    I think the Sierra Moreno mercantile company distributes them. https://sierramoreno.com/?wpsc-product=h-2-hobbs-lowering-device

    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%

    Wishing you the best in your recovery

    That would be great Steve. I cover North Yorks/ Teeside

    SIPS do them

    Sounds like the cord & the line are not compatable - have you tried them together without the HH?

    Hopefully available in the not too distant future :thumbup:

    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.....
  22. Pete Mctree
    Is the cam in the right way around?
  23. Pete Mctree
    I thought your trailer brakes disengaged going backwards, but the handbrake worked.
  24. Pete Mctree
    Well planned & executed job - some great cutting & rigging
  25. Pete Mctree
    I agree. Good post. Why would anyone NOT supply a piece of life support equipment for inspection? Why would anyone presume a flip line/wire core not suitable for use as primary life support without back-up? There appears to be a lot of confusing information thrown about regarding such simple things at the moment
