Whens the new series of rogue traders out?
-
its cheaper than the rope guide for a reason! rope guide is worth every sinle penny, simple to install, retreive, spend a little more and get the best edit, ditto john, diffrence infriction is huge
-
yep, and at that price, someone got a cracking deal! driven mikes one-crewcab+hiab, awesome truck, heaps of power

and a maximum of a legal 1.4 tonne payload . . .so it tows more, carrys more . . . although im biased as im selling a 130 tipper:sneaky2: cheers mozz btw:thumbup: ive used transits, smiley faced and meliminum edition ones, i wouldnt touch the latter, but i would consider the older smiley faced ones. ive also used ldv's, the ldv has the same turning circle as the 130, but is much wider, my landys tip bed is a cut down transit one, about a foot narrower and shorter if you want to drive on customers lawns or even level playing fields after a nights rain, landy is the only option, and just think, if youve already got a landy how cool it would look to have 2 ´with identical sign writing sitting side by side at the yard, on jobs ect . . .

haha, i was just gonna put a link up for that! rang them up just after christmas, a scottish l/a had it on trial and brought it for i think 24k, ex demo, new was i think 28k been looking at importing a bandit here in sweden, but unfortunatly bandit america no longer export direct, only to a dealer, who subsequently sticks their cut on:thumbdown: edit, global recyclings bandit was vari tracked, because GR import in road tow machines, then add the tracked under carriage themselves, this is what the rep told me

last pic, in the main fork, you can still see the white fungus, Polypore??? then to the right of the picture, theres a lime with a wall beneath it, if you carry round to the right of the pic (out of shot) you would have seen the mullberry steve and i have worked on
-

-

fi youre on the south side carpark right next to the cathedral, to the east is a real old cabled and braced oak i heavily reduced, and to the west, over a high wall is the mulberry, which i tip reduced the end weight off, there is a private mini arboretum there too . . . just used the right pantin, left hand holding the fixed end of my climbing line, right hand i stretch up to grab the 'live' end, helping the foot to pull down the rope, thus ascending, when my hand comes down and reaches the vt hitch, a quick grab of the hitch up to prevent any sit back and wasted energy . . .if that makes sence! it was real smooth and efficent anyway, i'll do a vid next time. only extra kit i used was the extra rope! now contemplating the best (read simplest!) way of tieing off at the base so the groundie could lower the climber down in worst case senario
-
i cant believe all the work ive done in the cathedral and surrounding houses/grounds, i have never seen that plane! have you seen the big mullberry in the bishops garden? tried this out today john, really cool! 1st oak got it up about 15m, unhooked then climbed to the top, 2nd oak, climbed the rock behind it to place the throwline in the top of the crown-about 20m and worked off it without re-anchoring, and likewise with the 3rd oak, 20m+ diddnt re anchor, all 3 pantin'd to the top no effort atall, really good tip:thumbup:
-
ah, thatd be why they diddnt fit me then-im 5'11, the pair i borrowed was from a 5foot midget
