  1. The Boxer a compact articulated loader will always do less damage than a skid steer
  2. i dont do much climbing any more mostly work out of a MEWP but a mini portawrap works ok for small lowering.just have to make sure that the rope is wrapped so the device wont twist around the wrong way.or use a swivel to stop that
  3. the hansa units fairly wide too the cs100 or a beau jeau would be better much more compact
  4. Great pictures 32 your very lucky been close to 42 here in the top end:thumbdown:

    mate its the australian way to take the piss out of just about anyone who walks into a bar in the middle of nowhere.plus wearing lycra would have been a sight to behold regarding the fire.it is the hot season here at the moment and there are fires bloody everywhere.Mostly man made.Not all lit by indigenous persons.one of the more devastating fires recently was set by an off duty fireman(caucasian) Part of the aboriginal culture was to burnoff the bush as it made hunting animals easier and promoted new growth of plants,re juvinate the bush etc whilst most aborigines dont hunt anymore like they used to they still like to set fire to the bush. while i dont live in alice and havent been there most of the fires we see around here have been lit from the side of the road.from people flicking matches out window im not going to get into your other issue except to say that if you owned property and lived here for a period of time you soon have a different opinion. And from what ive heard Alice is far worse

  8. i think if a rapist on a life or indefinate sentence is in an open prison it means that they have run out of room in the other more appropriate prisons That means hes not the only rapist or worse in an open prison today
  9. what about a trailer lift.Nifty do a 23 metre version i have a 2006 17 metre one but it has not been without intensive problems:thumbdown:proberly mostly to do with the climate and the poor road conditions i love to buy a traccess 230 ($159000) or that cela dt24 ($?) but the price is not justifiable cela also do a dt21 21 metre version
  10. a cunning ploy to make all have Insurance tis the same over here
  11. whilst i have a couple of pairs of chainsaw trousers stretchy husqy and another brand Clogger summer weight pants most of the time it is too damn hot to wear them i was wearing until recently stretch air climbing pants with clogger chaps over the top problem is of the 3 pair of stretch air pants i bought (270 a pair) none lasted more than a year just ripped to pieces basically they went rotton:thumbdown: currently trying another cheaper lighter weight walking trouser with chaps over the top. time will tell if their any good but they are more comfortable in the present climate (above 38 degrees) than the other trouser
  12. i employed a labourer through a employment agency in 2006.they are supposed to do police checks on these people this guy looked at least 45(but was actually only 25 a typical meth head) worked well for two days and then did not turn up the next day. he had left a shirt in the truck so i went round to where he was staying only to be told that he had been arrested the night before for a sexual assault on a minor. turns out the bloke had a warrant out on him for a similar case in Queensland so much for the police check by the agency last time i used that agency
  13. Vermeer(the word) does have Dutch origins but Vermeer Manufacturing was stated by Gary Vermeer in Pella Iowa in 1947 USA
  14. thanks nails
  15. nice butts.any idea why the mill is set up with the winches on opposite sides? I've never seen any other lucas mill set that way
  16. Currently use my 2026 schaffer loader with a branch manager grapple to feed the chipper.is very efficient.if loader will drag it chipper will take it.
  17. my loader a Schaffer 2026:thumbup: has oscillation and having put 1400 odd hours have only once nearly put the thing on its side.havining said that it is very easy to pick a wheel up whilst going round a corner ( with a load on ) or if on rough ground. the oscillation is really good on rough ground when back raking or floating the bucket for instance Any articulating loader will be more tippy when articulated just dont go yahooing around corners with the bucket up .take it easy and you'll never overturn one
  18. might want to look at a Schaffer loader instead.most models have a oscilating joint too
  19. over here i'll start a groundie on $30.if they show promise i'll pay $35 per hour
  20. Beautifull day in Oz today,high of 29 celcius low of 9 did'nt get my woolly jumper off untill about 11 am. its winter here: can get by on only 2 or 3 litres water now
  21. would'nt worry about the spiders. more likely to come accross green ants black ants and snakes:thumbup1:
  22. what might of happened to your charging system and it did to my 27 hp(on a Laski) last year is that the magnets on the stator have parted company and have distributed themselves everywhere thru out the motor this makes the motor run funny (until you get all the particles out)and it wont charge anymore
  23. i had mine lasered about 10 years ago,definatly best investment at the time.i went from needing glasses to find my glasses,not being able to recognize someone 4 feet away,to better than 20/20 vision that hasnt deteriated at all dont know how its done now,but my op was with the slice/flap
  24. if thats a hire machine you could suggest that they extend the bottom plate out about 300mm with a slight vee in it.that way you can carry logs with more weight towards the loader.Allows you to pick up more,also gives a bigger trap area infront of the plate
  25. Schaffer 2026 with turf tyres can do a donut on a golf green and do no damage except lay the grass over.the trick with a good lawn ( a rarety here) is not to drive in the same track all the time Basicly the loader will do less damage to a lawn dragging/moving brush than numerous trips done by personel my loader has 300mm wide tyres and weighs less than 1.8 tons and will quite easly float over mud which a person would sink into i used to have contractor with skidsteer and a dingo to clean up the big stuff prior to 2008 but there would always be collateral damage
