I start in the vee of the eye and stitch down about 6-7 inches. I also rotate around the rope as I stitch, so the stitches aren't all parallel, but cross the splice in different directions. Once you've gone that far a quick whip and box stitch is easy to add.
-
Yes to lock stitching. Whipping is more decorative than functional IMO.
-
Not a big fan of L200 for towing, 3.0 hilux would be better suited imo.
-
Generally speaking auto is better for heavy work, no clutch to wear out.

First day out of the bag my imori got soaked, maybe it was just switching from velocity that made it feel good! Either way, keep a handled ascender handy on wet days, your shoulders elbows and wrists will thank you!
-
Just photoshop it out. Job done.
-
Never used the spiderjack, but velocity gets a bit slippy for me in the wet. Tend to keep a handled ascender on my harness for gettting up greasy trees with it. Best winter rope out of those 3 for me is the imori.

If you have somewhere to tip the chip most skip companies will tip it at your site and just charge the haulage and bin rental.

I work on between 350-600 kg per cubic metre depending on species and moisture content.

You should have put a towbar on that to replace the Isuzu!
-
No it isnt. Total MAM for a B licence is 4250 kg, ie 3500 vehicle and 750 kg trailer, or smaller towing vehicle and larger trailer so long as the combined MAM does not exceed 4250kg. The plated weights of the vehicle and trailer still apply regardless of what licence you hold.

Nice work, I love crane takedowns.
-
No, but I do have lots of gloves with holes burnt in them.

Used both the 190 tracked and the 19-28, the Greenmech outperforms the Timberwolf chipping, its got the vari track whereas the timberwolf is fixed. The only advantage I can see to the TW is that is weighs a lot less, 1350kg from memory as opposed to 2.2 tonnes from memory, depending on the age of the machine.

Copper nails?

They generally pick the prettier birds for resale from battery farms, the less fortunate go for cat food or takeaways. Birds can get picked on in any flock, free range or not, and once the bullying starts it is a vicious cycle, the more bald and plucked a bird, the more they get picked on.
-
I use the Planning Portal, it is a national service and covers all LAs.
-
No, the transit can't tow that much.
-
Any vehicle or combination of vehicle and trailer with a MAM of over 3500kg requires an o licence. (except light trailers weighing 1020kg unladen)
-
Powerlines?
-
Use a cow hitch, great for using up excess sling.

I use the smiley face system, look at your leaf springs, if they are making a smiley face it's good, frowny face bad!
