Valid points Tom ,FMS are great to deal with so will definitely be having a look at the oehler, we did try and buy a small uni for the alpine and they really seemed not bothered if they sold one or didn't.

Double drum would be out of budget ,was hoping to use the alpine winch as a retrieval instead but that may or may not work! Have briefly worked along side a 8.5 krpan and was impressed. 90 -120 hp tractor Tcd , you still rating the BGU ?
-
I do like an igland winch , the baby one on our alpine is a great bit of kit, the price of a new 85h with extras against the other brands,would be interesting to hear opinions.
-
Definitely mate, has any one used the tajfun 8.5ahk ?
-
Looking for a 7-8 tonne single drum winch , any recommendations?? any features which we should be looking to get that would make life easy especially on slope work ? Cheers,mat.

I'll swap woods with you Jonny !

It's all in the preparation and a nice rust free and clean surface .. that's my only experience of welding, when my mate who taught welding and restores classic cars got fed up with me asking him to weld up rotten work trucks, he stuck me under and gave me a mig and said get on, I still have the scars from it spitting back on my chest Not enough prep !!

Put some uprated heavy duty on our l200 tipper and they are spot on. Never hear the wheels scrub now !

http://www.salmonfishingforum.com/forums/thread136186.html The grouse boys really don't like Cris packham ! I think another example of tax money not well spent was the whole biomass scheme, I think personally it was just a front so the rich could heat there huge country homes ..by the time villages and communities who could really benefit had raising the money from it most of the RHI had gone.... barely worth doing now, in the mean while people who had the money to do such scheme already in the bank are saving and making money.

Christ there's people out there who can't afford to put shoes on there Childrens feet let alone pay the rent ... a mortgage is just some far away fantasy!! Why are people refusing to even accept that?
-
That's very nice of your local butcher , is it in a nice country village with nice country people ? Or is it in some shite housing estate where possibly no one ever learnt to cook because there parents where to busy in there local pub spending there dole money and drowning there sorrows from being laid off and not finding any work or trying to escape there horrible reality shooting up smack and smoking crack to show them how too?? Get your heads out yer arses we have created a Shite society that benefits no one apart from those who already have money and protects them in a nice little bubble branding any one who does not fit in as lazy and work shy... new labour was the biggest skid stain on politics ever at least Corbin who I do not agree with on many principles is trying to do some thing about society before it becomes completely f Ed

Coming from people I would hazard a guess to say they have never ventured out of there reality bubble... one Owns a farm the other a Machinary empire! There are Arbtalkers who use public library computers , the average third world African has a mobile phone that has nothing to do with poverty.
-
I suppose the single mother who can't afford child care to work has to pay rent, council tax and all other bills and ends up in a food bank because bailiffs are knocking on the door threatening to take the tv she does not have or could afford in the first place any way... or the people who worked to pay to live in some shite flat ,in a shite job because there is no other jobs who then get laid off... Poverty in many forms is very real just as benifit scrounging folk who don't deserve a penny who flutter it all away on drink and gambling because they can milk the system for every thing it's worth ... the system fails people who really need help and craps on them further very often.

When I was new to SRT on one occasion I races up to about 40 ft with a haas and pantin ,stopped for a breather and realised I had not clipped my main carabiner and hitch to the harness only the ascenders where attached to the rope and my neck tether had been advancing the hitch climber and wrench so all seemed normal .... I also witnessed some one else do the exact same thing a few months later so it's not just me who made that stupid dangerous mistake ! I think on a new system it's very important to check list every thing and not get distracted by a load of new gadgets your not used too and make sure your primary support is always in place and the first thing you check.

Having used the stihl yesterday I can honesty say I don't think I've ever been as disappointed in a saw , what a pile of junk a blunt ms150 would of been quicker.......please tell me the husky is better before I write off the battery idea all together.

Mogs looking tidy Mike!

English braids 16mm for the last two years, Sirius is a good rope though.

Looks like Deutsch bank could possibly be about to collapse ... Good bye euro. I quiet liked corbyn until I heard on the radio this weekend him saying that the ongoing investigation on war crimes of our soldiers is a good thing then I wanted to smash up the radio and wash my mouth out for saying he was up for helping the average working class person and would be a refreshing change.

Nice hamdog, after a Vermeer 252 my self , any body know of one up for grabs pm me!
-
You forgot to add the falling apart bit... The Emperors new clothes fable felt much like my story of buying and using one, it's only saving grace was I sold the smelly heap on eBay for nearly what I payed for too some crazy Russian ... He was very happy with his purchase as you can't buy pfanner there apparently.

Cowboys? They are the ones who do a 2 k job for 10k not the other way around!
-
Looking at the back pack batteries for the brush cutters and hedge cutters more , will be getting one in the future Paul it's just the same old bloody question... Stihl or husky??
-
AR 3000 stihl battery over the husky equivalent which is a couple of hundred more and seems to have about 100wh less power , Any body know why ? Or which is the favourite ? This will make be the breaker over what systems too get
-
Germany mate , I think freeworker is the company ,Was a while ago ...I'm pretty sure tree kit have them or can get them.
-
Yeah I'm pretty sure they do fit. No new toys I've just decided I won't use these two items as I have other kit that does the exact same job and prefer. I like the epple hook more and prefer a locking cam , the mod works on the spike ascender great but it can be fiddly ! If you have a good technique with the pantin unlike my wild flailing around you should not need one any way!
