I'd say 60mm gap..

Nice Job, Were you running the ropes? Very smooth, climbers make the best groundies IMO...
-
XTC is a good basic rope, stay clear of the cheap marlowe one, new england HI VEE is another basic one thats quite nice. you'll notice the difference on your hands if you go to one of the thinner sportier lines. But then they are lighter and stretch less...

For me LED's aren't about saving power, more the fact that they are zero maintenance, and never blow bulbs, a sealed unit won't corrode from road salt like incandescent ones do.

They're only about £3 just google indicator resistor....

I think the one I had will be about 3K, its certainly well built, the 835 should lift it no problem, HP wise you should be ok, mine is 48hp but you could just go slower if the going gets heavy. Please note the one i have is meant to be driven backwards on a reverse drive tractor. IE the PTO goes the right way but you turn the seat round on the tractor. if you don't have reverse drive you'd be better with a different model. they have other lighter ones that will do grass and probably cost less, and also a heavier one that will take up to 6", but needs more HP...

I have one of these; Bargam S.p.A. - Sprayer Machine - polverizzatori - nebulizzatori - atomizzatori - sprayers - pulverisateurs - feldspritze - atomiseur - mist blower - atomizer - atomizadores - pulverizadores - sprgerte - automoteur Takes 2" material with ease, and 3" with a couple of passes... Not sure you'll get it for your budget though. maybe one of the lighter ones... You can buy it from here Home | Cleveland Crop Sprayers Ltd

I've got 265 75 16 on mine Dean, same radius as the 235 85 I think... -
The double V cut is technically the right cut to use on big laterals, but its a lot of cutting when you can just step cut and let it rip... so long as you aren't stropped in to it that is...

Climbing won't give you back problems, its ground work that does that.

It all depends on moisture content, wet wood will give 2.5-3 cube per ton, dry could be up to 4 cube per ton.

I think the area makes a big difference, I don't know of any full time subby climbers in scotland, there maybe one somewhere, but I have never come across one. I think you need to be in or near a massive urban conurbation like Manchester or london to make it work.
-
There are two important things to consider, for a real subby climber, you need to be good, the real deal, able to deal with any tree that your client presents you with. The other thing is you need to be in the right area. I think many parts of the uk just don't have the work and therefore the tree firms to justify the existence of a full time subby. One final point if you are a subby who does his own jobs there is always the risk you will get less work as your clients may see you as a threat to their business.

Kicking the heroin sure helped you pile on the pounds..

6' 12 stone, BMI 22.8..... Unfortunately some of that 12 stone is fat.. still I was 13 stone before paleo.. When I climbed every day I was just over 11 stone.. BMI's a very crude measurement as its simply a height weight formula...

Good post Adam. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Quite often the grass is greener. But the reality is often different. I did a wee bit of freelance climbing when I started out but it was always leading to having my own firm. How ever good you are as a subby there is a definite limit on your earnings whereas as a contractor you can keep expanding. That said the headaches of being a subby are nothing compared with running a few squads. So its horses for courses. Being a subby could be the best thing for you but it might not be. .....

You take a plate off, take some links out of the drive chain and move the pulley up... an hour's work maybe....

I put one on my first landy to power a hydraulic winch, it worked ok, but it was a lot of work to fit in terms of mounting tank, hydraulic control valve and PTO gear linkage... plus the pump was very close to one of tha chassis cross members, not sure where it would be on a puma....
-
What model of igland is it? on mine you can reposition the input shaft on the winch itself, its not too big a job...

45 sounds steep, might be better with a double cardan.Wide angle | gkn-walterscheid.de

I have always hated landscaping, once I have been on the same site for more than 3 days I start to get bored and pi55ed off with it. We still do the odd job though.. For us the busy season all year round these days, apart from feb and march which are mental, as all the LA's try and spend their budgets..
-
I VHS hydraulics used to do them, won't be cheap though, needs a tank and control valve etc..
-
I just bought a 3/4" drive Facom set for about £350, its good stuff.. The halfords professional range is ok but is massively let down by the papier mache boxes that they come in. No point having good tools if they are all rolling around in the back of the landy / lost in the woods.

Simon Lockwood. Don't have a number unfortunately...
