Nice one Will, congrats on the new wife job, can you not be a kept man now?
-
Very nice, have you lockstitched them all yet?!
-
Alternatively you could drive into a tree, activate the airbags, and then not replace them.......
-
I doubt wilsons will be very interested, its probably outlived its design life many times over.
-
Grinding a slot would work ok if the crack is fairly straight, and you are welding it up with mig. If the crack is jagged like you have drawn it it would be a bit more tricky.
-
If you plug it up it wont last too long. Plating it over would be a longer term solution.
-
If its firewood you're looking at its not worth moving it more than 50-60 miles IMO.
-
Done plenty of call out work at night. Buy a really good head torch.

If I were you, I would book some assessments from the new CS suite, and not bother with the training per se. Not too sure which units would be the most appropriate, possibly CS40 and 41?

I have, in a busy shopping centre amongst other places. Really enjoyable. Great for stealth work on protected trees too.
-
Dont see why not, the trailer bit is properly braked etc. Telephone number prices though.

On a similar theme. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGIvijrLkaw&feature=related]YouTube - Iveco Trakker Hovertruck[/ame]

Appointed Person. Not very new no. The person responsible for planning the lifting operation.

Someone on here was talking about too large a sheave causing flattening of the rope and potential weaking. Not too sure what the reasoning was though.
-
Cool.
-
Its on ice for the forseeable future.
-
Well, makes sense, in a peculiar kind of way. Sounds like you need some winch spades.
-
Are you kidding? I love a bit of nice dry pop on the woodburner, burns hot quick and clean, gets the house toasty in no time.

Go on the samson website, find the instructions for making a whoopie sling, and download them. They are straightforward enough even if you have never spliced before.
-
A whoopie is length adjustable, so you can choke it off without tying any knots. If you're on a budget, learn to splice tenex. Its dead easy and you can make your own split tails much cheaper than you can buy double braid slings.

Sounds interesting. Why cant you anchor the vehicle?
-
I would have thought a 3.5 tonne rated winch would get you out of most things, and pull over the kind of trees you want to. Snatch block would double that up to 7 tonne, so not to shoddy. I wonder if they are concerned about putting a powerful winch on and damaging the vehicle. If you had the bigger winch, 4.3 tonne pull, doubled up on a snatch block, 8.6 tonnes, you could probably do some damage to the chassis? The main thing to remember about winching off a small vehicle is to anchor the back of the vehicle to something first, otherwise the winch will just pull the vehicle along. Probably right under where you want to drop the tree.....

Barchams list them, dunno if they're in stock though.

No, although the sequence of movements does need to be co-ordinated. Bit like footlocking. The croll does flop around a bit, but I dont think its a problem.
