    if anyone does make their own winch/bollard lowering device best to use a 2 speed self tailing winch rather than a winch without a self tailer
  2. kimtree
    check out my early posts.mine was made with a harken 46.since then i have also made a bollard that slides into the carrier

    top firewood.i sell a few cube to a wood fired pizza oven restaurant every year.Makes the best coals for cooking.

    couple of problems we had on an old canter.The tank breather got blocked with dust gunk and one of the flexible fuel hoses got a tiny hole in it that you could'nt see resulting in air getting into the fuel line.

    debris getting into the belts/sheaves leads to the eventual death of them

    labourers who work on the ground yes From the sound of it the original posters groundies are labourers?not arborists
  18. kimtree
    This is about groundies not arborists i would'nt expect anyone to run on any of my sites.Most sites here have room to run a loader so my groundy (who's in his forties and doesnt have to be told what to do and gets paid very well ) generally does'nt have to drag much brash . i have employed a fair few young blokes as groundies and generally found them to be un interested in the job at hand,no get up and go, piss poor at time keeping and only on site for the money.Older people work better over here. They seem to be able to handle the heat (40 degrees plus now) and hard conditions better than the young guys of today(in my experience)
  19. kimtree
    sod the workers get a loader with a bmg,I never have to whinge about the worker not running to/from the chipper. Seriously.Forget about trying to employ 18 year olds .Stick to older workers 40 plus.they seem to be more grounded answer to the original question.Yes but not if your smart.
  20. kimtree
    schaffer articulated loader only 1250mm wide lift much more than a dingo/kanga/toro and do no ground damage when turning:thumbup1:
  21. kimtree
    must add.you can still get completely rat assed and still not get a headache
  22. kimtree
    a shelf ornament only

    Not much good for an existing hangover.Drink low carb premium beer.drink as much as you like never get a hangover:thumbup1:
  24. kimtree
    i have run multi tip for quite a few years on a modified laski f500H. Havent snapped any teeth,but have snapped the bolts off.With heavy use the wheel will wear quite a lot and i have had to re build it several times.
  25. kimtree
