    Pine Craning

    Nice vid as usual. Been too long since we last used a crane, always makes me smile how quick you can demolish a tree with one. Think I paid around £600 for a 50 tonner for the day, although only needed it for about 2 hours:thumbup: City crane about £400 I think.
  2. Just out of interest, anyone got any ideas on how much a processor that just sort of did the stuff the one in the video does would cost? OK it will be quicker but you get the idea.
  3. I dunno, I think I will stick to butt and tip tying in regards as the safest method. Did work efficiently though in the vids.
  4. If its their bit of yard that they are paying for surely it wont matter. You cant really make **** look tidy now!
  5. I beg to differ.
  6. No whistle but I can shout loud enough if required.
  7. If he had a blade that would split it into quarters it would well speed it up. Nice bit of work though making that.
  8. First vid at 6:35 looked like it took him a bit by surprise.
  9. I;m gonna look at the vids again just to make sure. Because I'm not very good and it didnt bowl me over.
  10. Flooding of the road that may have caused root problems?
  11. An Umpa Lumpa if ever I saw one. [ATTACH]48923[/ATTACH]
  12. I'll give you a tip. Make sure you tighten the grub screws up. Otherwise the shaft can spin in the bearing knackering the shaft. Apparently:blushing:
  13. As Bob says if you HAVE to lower stuff your self because of bad groundstaff then sort them out! If your on your own or are just getting a bit out the way while they are busy then fair enough.
  14. Any pics of the offending bearings on the 150? Just out of interest.
  15. Ha too true! Owning a helicopter is one of my musts in life before I die. A real one BTW, I have a few small ones.
  16. HA yeah, drill a hole in the outer casing and tap a thread that will take a grease nipple. Job done give me £90 + VAT per bearing, guaranteed to last longer* than a standard bearing. * May depend on the weather and or seismic activety.
  17. Even if none exist(or as mentioned above its very compact and not much space) surely a bearing manufacture could come up with something and make a good few quid!
  18. Try putting a stain remover in. I used something like oxy clean to get some engine oil out of a hi viz jacket, worked sort of, well it was better than just normal washing tablets.
  19. Ha. For some reason I thought 38 was climbing with a saw. Anyway good luck.
  20. Pity that, but yeah I could see them doing some kind of upgrade kit if it was easy enough/possible. Although I'm sure I read somewhere on AT that someone had or was doing a bearing upgrade.Was quite a while ago though.
  21. I think because they weigh under the magic 750kg also helps the sales. If I had one I would seriously look at getting an upgraded greasable bearing in there, cant be rocket science to get one fitted/made up.
  22. Horrible news to hear. All the best to him and hope they can save his leg.
  23. Doesnt poplar spit and burn really quick?
  24. If your just doing the exam with no training then the best of British to you, you may need it! I hope you never have to rescue me if you pass.
