Blisters from my new climbing irons...help please
Gray git replied to Arctostaphylos uva-ursi's topic in General chat
Has your Cs trousers got zip out bits inside the bottoms as I found if the zip has worked itself a bit undone it dug in my shin with the same spikes and left a lovely painful dint in my leg so might be worth checking, like said bandage but don't pop the blister or it'll be raw flesh and hurt like hell tomorrow. Hopefully you'll be able to concentrate if it starts to throb tomorrow. -
You can use the paws that the bridge go's through as lower attachments if you turn them, I'll try remember to take a picture tomorrow or watch the latest vide from August and you will see Jo use them like that. Some similarly to to the tm on the way it sits you and spreads the pressure between legs and back but I find it more comfy than my last tm which was my 3rd. Leg loops are fine as I don't have them too tight and use the smaller straps to keep them in place when my weight is out of them. Got my one direct from new tribe but I believe they now use afore mentioned website.

Had one for about a year now, possibly a bit longer and really like it, very adjustable and can be easily set how you like it, I added a set of stine sholder straps for when I'm hanging a bigger saw off the back to keep it in place as don't like it too tight, the big leg straps are very comfy and not being to cluttered with gear loops suits me as well.

A ongoing job this week, a little out of the ordinary for us but made a horse starvation paddock with 5" of chip covering the grass so far 140m³ of chip has gone in which has nicely emptied my yard. The botex has been brilliant for the corners and edges. Another ongoing job for me has made a leap forward today, getting the cherrypicker sorted, gear box is back, engine is back next week so fitted a new wing to replace the damaged one and gave the whole thing a spray tan, just the bars to finish in black on Monday.

Too young, kinda hope he didn't have kid's to leave behind, sad news

Don't know why but that's not what I thought you looked like... [emoji6] Wasn't my business I felt like that with it was working for someone else who expected me to put my life on hold for his business which was definitely having a effect on my home relationship. Own business is hard work, long hrs and still effects home life but in a different way and affords me the option to just not work if I need the day off or early finish and the rewards or more noticeable as efforts put in are reflected in reward back.

Something like this might be a cheeky way of making a return line.

Got one of farmi and was about 75quid I think but had to add sling to that. Really handy thing on the right job, especially windblown we found

Are you based at Catterick? If you are thinking about doing a few courses try giving garath at arb-for training nr layburn a call as he looks after the training for a lot of service leavers and is ex forces himself.

Good good, all doing well thanks. Yes it's amazing how many times you end up looking at a new scratch or chip thinking how the hell did that happen, annoying sometimes but as long as it keeps running well it's just that.

5 months on how go's it? Hope your still loving your new chipper and it's blasting through the jobs and earning its keep

No, outer ones are longer than the inners, tending to find the damage is more on the outer edges than in the middle of the v

Rkp platform from Ferryhill, for 1 day get it operated as saves you having to learn the machine and ultimately saves you time.

Very good, garath knows his 1st aid stuff inside out as was or possibly still is a 1st responder and worked with the fire service. Definitely a well structured and delivered course when I did it with him.

We didn't have that crack on our st8 but had plenty of others, some cosmetic which were irritating and some structural which if left unspotted could have been seriously dangerous, redwood did sort everything eventually and did it very well giving me back a rebuild vertually new machine but the hassle and down time lost my faith in the machine and brand. Hope you get it sorted easily mick

Timber trailers.... what to consider when purchasing?
Gray git replied to swinny's topic in Large equipment
This was only 8.5ton of timber on a 11 ton trailer So as said your unlikely to ever overload it. Not many have 4 wheel braking as standard and we had to specify it on this trailer. Something to consider is what you think you'll be shifting and from where, are you doing forestry and shift small thinnings or arb and handling ugly hardwood Really like these units for ugly hardwood https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F132648402660 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153008120972 -
Very nice, love the smack down in the fire ash. Will the timber be claimed and used?

Nice job to get stuck into, at least the winching distance isn't to bad up the slope.
