You got it Rob, practice! However, there are Driver's and driver's. My ex couldn't drive my Transit (she once drove over a knee high wall with the back axle) yet I know someone who won a truck maneuvering competition yet it was his first time in a lorry!

I stopped a little over a year ago after double pneumonia, 3x pleurosie, and atelacsis! Even now I get into a situation and think a smoke would be good, a transport cafe with a lid of tea, a pub with Beer and the sun coming through the window, stuck in traffic and after a stressful moment. Stick to it and have the strength and perseverance. Best of luck to you.

Banksman! Reverse in a curve, always with the chipper in view. Get some visual I'D points that give you a reference. Namely, a point on the chipper which tells you that the manouver is unrecoverable. Practice on both sides. A HGV1 includes a reverse and park with the bumper in a zone. It is not hard if you practice, think and don't get flustered.

You know when it is time to diet when your fat arm makes the person behind you look naked!

We had 30m on all of ours but always had another bond - saved all that faff spooling them back onto the cage or into a tyre. I have to say that we never had the bond rated or checked tho.

Study the picture carefully - the punch line comes later!

You are right, I did and thanks for putting it correct!

Google RS Electricals, they are a good source of virtually any electrical component. Try moving the switch to a position where if is still to hand but less likely to get whacked!

If you still struggle, kill the blade with a hammer and chisel then get the remains out once the blade is gone! All the above advice is good, the best advise is to clean the holes out properly and use an impact driver to "shock" them loose. Don't forget to change your torx drive if it starts to wear out too.

Get it recored - it will be a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a suspect used one!

When I first started working for GreenMech some 12 odd years ago, we had a couple of machines back in to the service dept with rope damage. I remember that one was while the climber was still aloft and the line parted under the strain. For a while though, the chipper was a high speed winch! The rope wrapped about the main rotor shaft and indeed, changed the shape of the housing and popped the bearing. No one got hurt, thankfully.

I'm trying to remember the name of that mini skidder type gadget that was tracked and you could either stand on it or it had a handle which enabled you to walk in fron of it? I seem to remember it as a log skidder or even towing a sledge/trailer across boggy or uneven ground. Anyone know what it is called?

My condolences to all present or affected by this tragic waste. Please, don't take unnecessary risks.

To be honest, I'd take it to an Ag Engineer and give them the phone number for Hardmet Landforce for advise. I'd also look in the owners manual to see if there is any advice or hints in there. How does it work? do you know? Check all electrical connectors from the hydraulic spool valve through to the computer and from there back to the measuring device for a start.

It isn't really possible for a manufacturer, supplier or agent to make and carry parts for long dead models. That is why you have the "after market" making "pattern parts". Can you imagine Ford still carrying parts for the Model T?

I had an ArborEater back in the early 90's, did the job and we wrecked it! Then rebuilt it and it was still going strong in the late 90's when Alan Mason got it and sold it on. I remember being impressed with the size of the bearings and the fact that they could be greased. Shear bar was a PITA to keep set back then, but the Dalrymple people are good people and Richard Court does their work so there is a comfort zone there.

£145 nicker is cheap for an alternator. Someone told this week that the Range Rover sport alternator is positioned so that if it needs replacing, the whole engine and front of the car has to come off!

There are numerous places that you could take it to and get it rewound. Unfortunately, it'll not be cheap but it will be a darn sight cheaper than getting a new one.

Is it me or is she slightly bent in the middle as well as the front?

Please do! Yes, I spotted it too, but only after the first response so I could not edit it! Good vision tho!
