Nice rig!!!

Simon, if you're pulling heavy loads, look for a 4x4 that can be driven in Low range without locking the center diff, we have a D40 Navara, rated to pull 2.8T(?) although 6 gears, 1st and reverse is to high for slow manouvers when towing trailer and chipper (2.4T) low range cant really be used as automatically locks the center diff, scrubbing tyres on tarmac . . . 2 clutches in 70thou miles and 18mpg when towing too . . . We're looking at going to the green oval this year

Think it going wrong was due to species . . . By the sounds of it, id have gobbed in desired direction, triangle hinge, pull line pulling at 135degree (if lean is 0 degree, fell is 90, pull line another 45 degree round)

The plan was to build a simple frame, sides and headboard out of lengths of angle welded together, then bolted to the edges of the flat bed, then fill in´with galvanised 1.3mm tin, probabally rivited to the frame. about £150s worth of metal for the sides. but i moved to sweden and sold the truck before i completed the box if youve a truck cab landy already, all you need is any tipping chassis from a breakers yard, just cut it down to size, bolt struts across the landys chassis rails on the old mounting points as i did, place the tipping chassis ontop, and weld it to the struts. Helps if you have friends with unimog cranes and all the gear as i did (Nifty steve )

Cheers for the replys, keep any advise comming! Ian, how did you learn when you were here? Morten, thats crazy, do you ever mix the languages together by mistake? Where are you from oddbird? how did you learn once you were in the uk? The most french i learnt was when travelling to monaco through the alps, where no one spke english, but like traditional logger and rich have said, everyone here wants to speak english too much

everyone WANTS to practise their english! and i aint gonna get a son to learn a language:001_tongue: Marie has a northern dialect, Swedish friends a stockholm dialect, builder friends a simple dialect, always drunken always about girls . . can you get aps on an android phone?

Thats a good idea, ive got a basic basic cd, but ive been told the vocabulary they use isnt 'correct' like speaking the queens english since i moved here ive had a good circle of swedish friends. maybe i should insist they speak more swedish, then i feel like i kill the atmosphere though . . cool, ill have a look:thumbup1: Interesting . . ive lived here 11 months, started taking classes start of the year, the classes and books seem to teach correct grammer first, perhaps thats something to change, thanks:thumbup1:

Anyone learnt a new language from scratch?? How did you do it? Any tips or advise? Im taking evening classes, but struggle to concentrate as soon as it goes slightly over my head (often) then im lost for the rest of the class. Reading books, i can do a maximum of 2 pages before concentration is gone (this applies to any books-dyslexia kicking in). Any hints or tips appreciated

The last pic is a cracker stevie! I find it odd how something with as many variables as nature, people use such specific percentages, formulas. . . Sweden has opened my eyes to what trees can withstand, blows alot of written 'rules of thumb' and formulas out the window

A rope guides perfect, but if not, my old cambium saver had oval mallion instead of the small ring which would slip through the big ring, it allowed it to be choked to the stem, and the rope to pass through the mallion only or pully. not retrievable but handy for you're scenario one like this https://www.gustharts.com/Products/Arborist%20Equipment/Arborist%20Climbing%20Equipment/Cambium%20Savers/Product/Petzl%20Treesbee%20(false%20crotch)/
