Ahh yes..Willans T12 climbing harness "wrecking spines for 20 years":ohmy:

More emphasis on sharpening chainsaws,that skill is elementary to the correct functioning of the primary tool in Treecare. Could the first part be a "display of knowleged of sharpening" and "carry out sharpening in a production situatition" then the final "tick" be the submission of a couple of spent chains? I realise this might be impractical given how easy it might be to submit chains,but I am constantly dismayed at new graduates who can't sharpen and maintain a bloody chainsaw.COME ON! Rant over

Every good of you to post the thread Pete.Thanks. Does it you to you all like he was using a very wide branch for his tip.Good choice under almost all circumstances,but in this case it might have spread the ropes apart too much and the lateral tension popped them out of the cams?

Is been a while since I've seen a "Cabbage Tree" Trunk Drew. I'd better go and put the Dave Dobbin CD on,for some a:sad:dded home sickness!

Yes I get insomnia every now and again.I think it usually comes from doing too much/worrying/over training.I also don't consume caffine or simple carbohydrates like sugar or white bread after 4pm.I also blackout my bedroom windows with heavy curtains so once the door is shut its pitch black.

Yes,you could do it like that.But you'd struggle to get total off road performance out of the mog as it would drag the chippers arse going up and down even fairly mild inclines.Also you are stuck with one feed hight,not ideal for people of different hights or in certain situations. I had intended to attach my chipper on a "swing away" type system.But its very convenient to take the chipper off and tow trailers or go fishing.

http://http://www.truckscout24.de/search/ger/detail.asp?vehicletype_id=12&vehicle_id=10508373&make=0&mid=8&page=2&language=ger For all its worth,I would reccomend getting a tidy Mog that has the hydralic circuts,pto shaft and get a pto chipper.We can be out of the truck and chipping within 15seconds (timed).The advantages of the pto chipper mainly apply to reversing and being able to take the chipper to the brush instead of the other way round. There are many mogs out there with pto's and rear hydralics.You can get a new linkage setup and fitted for €3000.Took them three hours to put it on.

I just threw up.

There is plenty of room inside the chassis rails for the oil tank,you could stand the deck off a bit to fit the valves out of the way?Or mount them on the side of the tank? Somthing to think about anyway.It might be nice to have it side tipping,then you wouldn't have to unhook the chipper.
-
It is possible to fit a hydralic pump to the top of the gear box.It bolts straight on,you'd have to fit a tank and the valves but its possible.I had a look at a U1850 that a guy is fitting a tipper to,a normal tipping body not the "X" frame type.I can ask him what is going to cost all up.I know the hydralic motor is a high capacity type as the mog had a crane on it before.

one of my guys bought a load of them over from the UK.Should be good as we do most of our fishing with lures so we'll put a couple of split shot above them and try on Saturday. He's fishing now the lucky bugger.

I used to like sitting their reading the papers whilst the rest of the crew ate.But apart from very occasionally I'd pass on the cooked breakfast.

We used to pay $3 per ton in Alaska. Big difference

What about a VW Polo or a Toyota Corrolla?Both reliable and economical,not flash but who cares.

Very nice indeed! Keep us up to date with the hunting.

They make challanging targets from a bit of a distance.

Sadly another climber falls to his untimely death.Exact cause of accident unknown,only witness is even after 60 odd years,deeply shocked[ame=http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HysHjGOXEtE&feature=related]http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HysHjGOXEtE&feature=related[/ame]

Extreamly heavy lateral limbs. Braces that are subjected to large tempreture variations. Braces that could be tampered with by vandels.Such as large heavy lateral limbs close to the ground. As a lower cost option to Cobra bracing if the alternative is felling the Tree. As with most machines/techniques/equipment,one approach won't cover all bases.Steel cables and or Rods and through bolts have their place.As do synthetic bracing devices.

Is it wise to have the engine running @2400 rpm for extended periods?2500rpm in eight gear on the flat gives me 80kmph road speed,and beleive me you know your doing it! I usually trundle around at 60kmph,as a U1000 driver trundling is about as good as it gets!
-
Sad to hear that mate.Hope you get it back with blood on it.

Where was the "no stress light" on the Mog or chipper?I understand some Tractors have a device that will increase the revs if the attached device draws the revs down underload.My Mog has none of that. Yeah,I'd say that the 1450/1500 rpm range is about what I'm currently running the CH160 on.What a titty system for adjusting the anvils.Spent ages fine tuning them the other day,only to have the anvils"modify" the leading edge on the blades...bugger.
