A fixed bollard can help make things simpler for simpletons at the start
-
I've the gransförs, bit more rugged appearance, razor sharp, and good fun! Paid about 120 iirc from the factory
-
Gonna be left there Ian? Few pine dead woods, cracked willow fell and a pine after lunch. Fair load
-
Judging the Swedish masters climbing comp today and yesterday
-
350 sounds reasonable, thats what the larger Alpine tractors lift, but they're nose heavy to start with. I find the telescopic boom the greatest asset on the Avants. Makes side loading of trailers so easy
-
What will it lift? Be interesting to compare a compact tractor like that to one of the Avants i use
-
Nice one Dan. What is the specs on the tractor Mick?
-
Easy to see why you won! Awesome work!
-
Cheers mark, new sign writing yesterday!
-
Loading up. Felling, chipping onsite, logs away Big tree John! The people really put its volume in perspective
-
Any suppliers on here? Who could ship to Sweden?! Thanks!
-
Got roped into helping a mate today whilst my truck got sign written, 2 spruce and a pine done and dusted in a few hours
-
You're going to have to put up before and after Ian as it keeps looking like you've just taken pictures of good looking trees!
-
Some pretty standard grinding pics from Monday and Tuesday

Now you're just clutching at straws :lol: But scrap metal men will want your steel braces to weigh in at the scrap yard, no such problem with Cobra:001_tongue:

Who the F would brace a failed limb over a building????
-
Did you want advise/opinions or just preach about your views?
-
Cobra systems can be installed dynamic or static, and even the ultra static
-
But your beloved steel bracing is invasive to the tree, does induce decay (I removed a maple a few years back, with evidence of CODIT 1.5m either direction of the bolt) doesn't allow restricted movement to allow the tree to apply compensatory growth to the assumed weak points Dynamic bracing has none of these glaring and numerous frailties weaknesses and liabilities. Time and place for everything
-
Your idea that a fire melts the bracing releasing a limb is flawed. Cobra, is designed to prevent excessive movement which could lead to the failure of the limb/stem, not stitch a tree together/support the entirety of a failed limb/stem. You should be able to remove/replace a cobra system without needing to install something else as a stopgap. So after your imaginary fire, if the tree escaped fire damage (!) a new system should be installed before next storm season. FWIW the material decreases in strength by under 2% per year, the lighter variants (2 and 4T) should have a life expetancy of 15years, the heavier 8T 8years

That hilux grinder chipper is an ace setup!
-
Would this kit all be mounted in the trailer, and suitable for/just the old style 7 pin socket connecting to the trailer?
-
You don't need a visa to work in Europe

Fair play VW!
