  1. Bundle of logs under the winch cable to give it a bit of lift too.
  2. Just get one of these.
  3. Can you get some pics of piston/ cylinder? If the damage isn't too extensive you may be able to clean up the cylinder and just fit a new piston.
  4. Those are just the before pics, Si is obviously building the suspense in a theatrical style.
  5. Sell it and buy a 3.5 tonner. Easy mistake to make with the dailys, at least you'll know to check the plate next time.
  6. That is correct, you could carry outrigger pads or harnesses for use in the basket for example. Same deal with mobile cranes, but a lorry with a lorry loader crane which carries timber or chip needs an o licence.
  7. Generally vehicles that do a job but don't carry a load are o license exempt. So as long as you don't load with with saws or anything not directly connected with the mewp you shouldn't need an o license.
  8. I need to buy some of that mooring line just to have a go at splicing it. Looks about 4" diameter, that's one hell of a bury!
  9. Some of that splicing is pretty incredible.
  10. Would have rather seen it with raw meat, I don't think it would have pulled like that. Good stuff though, that last cut was pretty full on.
  11. Yes, never fill it with the ram extended.
  12. To bleed it lower the tipper, crack the nut connecting the hose to the ram and press the tip button. If there is air in the hose it will bubble out. Tbh there will only be a tiny amount of air in there anyway, and it will get pushed out with continued use anyway. Is there a breather vent on your new tank to allow air in when tipping and out when lowering? Sounds like your new tank is too small.
  13. Velocity is 11mm, in my experience about the slimmest 11mm line on the market, if that makes any sense.
  14. Perhaps its the elusive 365XP.
  15. I'm not really doing subbie climbing any more, and my subbie climber is pretty busy too, sounds like Adam is your best bet.
  16. Rupe comes and goes. He'll be back in good time.
  17. Vicuclad
  18. You find a ranger I can make a tipper for it. The factory built tippers aren't too common.
  19. Well in my house its me holding the whip, and my arm doesn't tire easily!
  20. I find 12 minutes is about enough for me.
  21. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the ease of use compared to other 6" machines, due to the hopper design, lack of bottom stop bar and feed roller layout. Having said that those features are shared by the GM150, so if you don't need the turntable and folding chute then save some dosh and get that instead. I bought my QC before the new 150 came out, but I think I would still spend the extra over the 150.
  22. The whipping doesn't need to be covered.
  23. I run a quadchip, lovely little machine, easy to feed, runs like clockwork, and it has the turntable.
