Good to know mate 👍🏻
-
John I've had a look in my 550 spares box ...a few pics one side is a bit marked .... Pm your addy though if you still want it. Cheers mat.
-
I've built a few now and they are dead easy with decent elastic....the best one was with a foot loop rich made but I do prefer the velox system with 4srts floop over any thing else it just seems more compact and less difficult to snag.
-
I have a genuine husky ring I think to go with it as well, I was going to fit but realised when I tried to salvage a cylinder the top of the exhaust port was to damaged and snapped a ring and would keep snapping them so replaced the whole lot oem husky kit.
-
Lil red barn do one ... Buy a genuine husky ring though. I have a used aftermarket one in the shed if you send me the postage.

I would just buy the haas velox , have used quite a few different knee ascenders and had the ordinal haas the velox is so sweet , no flat spots just very smooth ascent.

Andrew do you know the ral for dolmar orange ? Also please pm me what I owe you and how to pay for that coil please mate !
-
Sounds a familiar story .
-
Sorry did not get that first off mate... I know what I would like to do , but is it worth the grief ...definitely one for rouge traders though.

Do you think this is a wise move ? After all these folk don't give a damn about the law and will you be able to protect your father when the guy comes to his door and demands his money? It was £130 !! Not £1300 he may of done a bad job and you could of done it 10 times better, personally I would let it go.

Email them for current stock and prices they have so many machines coming in and out they won't keep them updated on the web site those are just examples of the stock they have..

I would take the 4.9 m silky for £190 and use steps ! Seriously I would regret using any thing other than the silky , the stein and Jameson do not compare( unless your pulling out hangers) I've owned both, can't comment on the stallion though, it seems value for money....

Loads of trade in's on the jas p Wilsons site.

Nice jay , I think it's my favourite timber to mill as well, Just wish there was more of it! .

Definitely an 2001 or 1000 RC device over a portawrap as its so simple to use with basic instruction and puts a lot less slack in the system for inexperienced users that can mess up putting a rope on a portawrap on a rope altogether!! Important especially if you chop and change ground staff a lot.

Is the dead mans throttle inside the trigger when it's back together as its not in the photo, it looks like it's catching ?
-
From memory like most Stihl top handles you have to have the throttle trigger pressed down to connect to the linkage on the carb.. I think! It's a shame Stihl don't have any work shop manuals or pdf parts lists on line . A bit too late now but I get photos of carb and trigger linkages on my phone before dismantling as they can be a sod if you don't have another spare saw to compare with, also sounds a bit anal like but if I'm doing a full strip down on a saw I'm not used to working on ,get a sheet of card and press each bolt and piece in through it and write where it came from under and it makes reassembly so much easier and your never left with spare bits that your wondering where the hell they came from!.

Valmet/valtra 6400 Massey 390 We use a 91 john Deere 2650 4wd on the processor and have a loader and does well as a yard tractor ,very basic easy to work on about 80hp- I think ,although lacks sufficient hydraulic flow for the kindlet machine we had ,that had to go on the 6400 and the valmet is a much nicer tractor to drive on the road.
-
Awesome machine ! Sadly About close as I will get to owning one is a picture off a 1990 forestry journal cover!
-
Very nice design I thought ! That beds given me some ideas though!
-
Get some more pics up ! Very nice machines.what valmet /valtra are you running there? I do have a soft spot for county's . We don't run any new tractors but were picking the valtra techs brain whilst he worked on our tractor what newer120bhp tractor would he buy ,he said he would seriously stick with the valmet 6400 although it's an older machine it's still very simple ,despite the wiring issues we had in comparison to a modern tractor they where simple and easy to fix.

Stationary Rope Work Positioning (SRWP) Research Project
MattyF replied to BenR's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
But it does make it confusing ... It's all SRT to me ... I find it hard to grasp if you were having a team chat or put in a risk assessment surely it would be easier just to say I'm going to work position SRT than say I'm going to ascend SRT then DRT, DdRT, SRT, SRWP, TRT, TtRT it's just confusing, majority of people in tree work don't know what they are (my self included !) and just want the easiest way to get the job done not be confused by a load of acronyms They don't know are or really care are , that's my point of view as I just use SRT to get a job done more efficiently and it certainly does but it put me off learning it for a long time as its made out to be over complicated when it's not and that's not helped by a load of different names for things. -
Stationary Rope Work Positioning (SRWP) Research Project
MattyF replied to BenR's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Done Ben. I'm with Paul though I would still call it SRT I don't understand why it has to be called any thing else ... To me it all falls in the same category for work positioning or ascent. Any thing else is just complicating some thing that's simple and does not really need any other name. The best practices for SRT in arboriculture was I thought a good bench mark. If it was called best practice for srwp in arboriculture it would just complicate it but that's just me... -
From the same company ?

I have not been charged for the last 4 or so orders I've put through but I have been charged in the past.
