    I grew up in Darlington, the Ringtons man must have had a big bloody round! One of my Aunties usually gets a Ringtons Hamper for me and the family for chrimbo.

    Good work mate. Was that one of your jobs or Tommy's? One point to note, more so in Ivy covered trees is to flush cut the stubs. You will know if you slip and get one in the ribs.

    Are you from the North originally? Ringtons and the tea man are a thing of my youth.

    Think it took me about 3 years to catch on.

    Plans are being made Tony.

    I like to test my LOLER inspector. If a piece of kit fails LOLER and I remove it from working use. I have in the past slipped that piece of kit back in to be inspected. Sometimes it passes sometimes it fails again. Very hard to keep standards across the board.

    What are they Heinz or some sort of terrier? Nice one though Tony. I would love more space and not be in a city, as I would love to get a dog.

    Found a picture but not the video.

    I don't think it is the tether mate. It is the zig zag, it grabs a bit too reliably. Like when your hitch is a bit too tight and it engages before the RW does. If you see it happen it is obvious where all the load is being held. And the bit holding you in the air looks like it is made from Kit Kat wrappers It really does stretch the zig and zags out. No wish I could find the video as it demonstrates it perfectly.

    It does work well. I have had a go on a number of people's setups One of the main things is that the ZZ grabs before the RW engages and really stretches out the ZZ. The bottom link then is taking all the sight of the load. There was a vid on YouTube that was posted by a Kiwi or Ozzie dude via the treetools web site. He explained it far more eloquently than I.

    I have found that to be the case with Bandit chippers, but not the Scheisling. What year model do you this is a problem on? Cheers

    I sit on my arris and have the saw bar on either leg depending which side I am sharpening. It does help with this method of you are ambidextrous.

    One firm I graft for has a couple of 300mx choppers for the smaller vehicles. Never had a problem with stalling or any other problem to my knowledge. Always a pleasure to use. Mind the machines are very new and get moved frequently as they are a scheisling dealer. Much better than a TW 190 IMO

    Thats has confused me mate. The old tire is the AT2. The older tread (same as dammit to the BFG AT) is known as the AT2's. GG brought out a new tread pattern, quieter, more milage etc to meet Euro reg's about 5 years ago. They are called AT's. I had the AT's first on my Nav as the AT2's were discontinued. When I needed to change the local tyre stockist managed to get hold of some AT2's (BFG Pattern) When I came to order for my Hilux, I wanted the BFG's but the garage was unable to get the KO2's in for me. I found a stockist with KO's so shipped them local and got the local place to fit them.
  16. Rich Rule
    Standards are 265/65/17 I have the KO's in that size for my Hilux.
  17. Rich Rule
    Sorry meant to say Navara not Hilux in my previous post for the GG's.
  18. Rich Rule
    I have BFG TA KO's on my 65 plate Hilux. So far so good but it is very early days. I ran a set of GG AT's and AT2's on my Hilux. Again no problems by I think the AT's only got about 48k out of them before needing a change.

    Harry, the human Avant, as I like to call him.

    Cheers Ian. I quite liked the 3rd one. Spot the climber!

    Couple of pictures the guy I was grafting for today managed to take. We removed a Dead Cedar last week at this care home and today was a mature Cedar to take out. Tree had a fair bit of decay at the base and a couple of old wounds mid way up the trunk. But of a tangled mess but got her done in decent time. But of a lean and a bit of a breeze so I smashed about 7 limbs off then went down to give the lads a hand. Then the rest of the green and down again. Then the stem to felling height. Most of the limbs were fairly long and end weighted. Just used the coos bay, or my version of it at least. Basically undercut on 45 degrees for both sides and then fast cutting from the top to join them up. Pop! And down they float. Also had a run out with the rebuilt, ported and dual muffled 660. She is getting better with every tank! Rich

    It was in Radlett, just north of London mate.

    Took down a stone dead cedar today on the edge of woodland. Gloomy day so an early finish was good. Rich
