I can't even begin to respond to that!!
-
I would guess quite a long term test would be required to determine any real difference, I will do my best.

Blades should be changed/resharpened every 20hrs or so and never allowed to go blunt. Instructions on removal are in the handbook. along with locations of grease nipples.

Will do. Not sure when I can give it a proper run though, not much big coming up. I would guess though that it performs like a pulley! The limitation is still the rope (16mm in this case) so its not going to do anything different or better other than looking good while it does it!

Thanks Yve! Felt like my Birthday!!!

I know have the HD version and I'm getting to grips with it, seems good so far. Mines not the "extreme" version. What else do you get with that? The standard version has everythign you need IMO

If you are in greece you could buy a stihl 192T, its the smaller brother of the 200 and not available here but is available in greece and is cheaper than a 200! Olive wood is very hard, so a good saw is required! Where abouts in Greece? My sister and brother in law (her husband) have many olive trees in their little part of greece and I visit every year if I can, its a great place.

I know I dont have a 64 bit system so I'll try the first one. Thanks
-
I'll have a quick play with that and see........

It comes up with a whole list of codecs but I dont know which I want!? Not very clever at this stuff!

So, I took some video today with the new Drift HD headcam. I used the 720 resolution setting not the full 1080 as I am sure 720 is good enough. I can watch the clips on my quicktime player and they look fine. They wont open in windows movie maker at all, it wont see any video files when you look in the correct folder for them. They will open up in window live movie maker but you cant play them or do anythign with them? Does anyone know what I should be doing? I was hoping to edit in movie maker as I have used it before.

Exactly, the "law" will step in after there is an accident. No one is gettign arrested for stopping traffic by hand! I only stop the traffic as a precaution. If I was actaully dropping stuff onto a live carriageway then I would need sacking and go and work in tesco as a trolley boy! There is nothing wrong with assessing a situation and making an informed choice of work method and then beign prepared to change that method if required.
-
I like them. Could be good for stopping traffic!! Haha! Is there other colour options or just red and white? And like Janey says whats the tape made of? And is it reflective?
-
I remember lots of them failing at poor unions here in chelters..
-
Who is doing the testing I wonder??
-
Of course the rules will be "use a stop go board" but we all know that folk stop traffic under the circumstances listed above and the police dont rock up and arrest everybody in sight! Until the day that the police decide they need to improve on the number of arrests made for traffic stops by hand signals only, I think we will be ok. For works in higher volume traffic areas I would always use stop go boards, bu that kind of planning ahead is called a risk assessment, and if the occasional stop of the odd car is needed here and there then I would deem stop go boards unecessary but that is down to my assessment of the situation, the job and the traffic flow. And since I have never had a near hit, I must be doing ok. I have also stopped police cars and never been arrested. Years ago we had a stop go board, and it said "stop" on one side and "carry on" on the other. Only those of a certain age will get that, lard!

Ok, it was just an example. Is that all harnesses? If we use 15kN then, SWL 150 kgs, WLL one person is still 100kgs, but its ok if you are 150kgs. 150kgs = 330 LBS, 23.5 stone, so I think we are all fine then! Cheers!! Rupe
-
Do you have to set every frame then? I was hoping to just load each photo as a frame then tell it the time gaps etc and off we go? Not sure I can be bothered for tomorows job but we will see. Its a 95% crown lift on a beech, should look lovely!!
-
What, go and buy a whole new computer just to fanny about with some time lapse stuff which, whilst fun, is in fact completely pointless!
-
Might have a go with mine tomorrow. Waht setting do you find best? I was thinking the longest, 30 seconds?
-
Just to be certian I checked what 220 Lbs is, and its 99.79 Kgs so thats all it is, using the 100kgs definition and converting it to pounds.
-
Exactly. Plus when your passenger jumps out and stops traffic so you can reverse your chipper into a drive way, or builders trucks into tight sites, its called a banksman! Not illegal. It would be illegal if you did it in such a way as to cause an accident, or if you didn't so it and there was an accident.
-
So it probably has a MBS of say 30kn. Which using a 10:1 safety factor gives you 300kgs. But its intended for one person so its WLL is one person, and for easy figures that is described as 100kgs, which if converted to american is 220lbs It does not mean that someone 105kgs cant use it.
-
It is all rated much higher than that but will have a WLL of one person, which is often described as 100kg or 220Lbs.
-
Cool. I'll look forward to that!
