If i feel like doing everything "properly" I have lanyard just above the blocks whoopee sling, and a pulleysaver choked tight to the stem precisely under the whoopee sling. That way when the blocks loaded its only the whoopee sling pinching the cambium saver, can still decent if needed whilst the riggings loaded and lanyard and life line are not at risk of getting cut at the same time

I was heading for a husky 372, but got a Stihl 461 instead, 25"bar. very very glad i did too! Its a cracking saw, Stihl definatly got this one right

The insulated copper pipe is simply plumbed into the tractors radiator, so some of the hot water bypasses the radiator and goes through the pipe heating your backside then back into the system

Heated seats anyone?!

Nice one Matty!

Nice work rich and Aaron

From a few weeks back And something for next year

Awesome views! Where's that?

If you're climbing it can be quite tricky to do a dogtooth style bore and release cut. Nothing wrong doing the cuts it sounds like he was doing if you have a sharp saw and experience to power through on the top cut. Difficult to say but id probably have done the same, maybe a thin gob, maybe not, probably taken the ears off quite deep too. wouldn't have stepped it though, probably tried to line up the cuts.

Some great reply thanks. Size, access and weight isn't a problem Dean, I've got emails from both Stig and Jesper today giving some offers on their ex demonstrator "Bandit 2150xp 38 HK 4x4" i guess their just trying to get rid if all the big grinders are now hydraulic. what were the problems you had? what hp was your 2150 and 2550? how big an improvement is the 2550? thanks
-
It was their (Nordisk Greenteeth from Denmark-as I understand, Scandinavias bandit main dealer) demo machine. The only one on their exhibit that was belt driven. I diddnt realise bandit have completely scrapped belt drive
-
Cool thanks, 2550 then What's making you go for that grinder? Have you tested one?
-
Hi! Was looking at stumpgrinders at a show today, vermeer, rayco etc, but Bandits offering of the 2150xp (i think) was rather appealing. 38hp, 4x4, belt driven head all for a very reasonable price, optional blade and remote control too. Seems like much more value for money on paper than vermeer offerings over here. Never used one though, what are they like? problems?
-
Yeah i know but hypothetically, what if its not? What if lowering's on a rigging lines not an option as its just the two of you? What if lowering him on your mechanical system, is the ONLY option? Just a hypothetical situation i thought would make an interesting discussion and if its covered in the current NPTC's
-
Yep, my thoughts, but does it work? But has anyone tested or tried an aerial rescue on one system, on a mechanical device, DdRT, with "added friction"? Whats the most effective way? thats pretty good. I guess the bight through lower Ds won't hockle the rope either. the munter hitch will, which could cause problems at the worst time!
-
Been a looong time since i did aerial rescue. Just wondering whats the options on aerial rescue with mechanical devices? or even a hitch climber? I learnt (like most) using a 6 wrap prussic (just an extra wrap on your own prussic) for when the casualties transfered onto my system. But never climb on a prussic so would the likes of a zig-zag or lockjack work with 2 persons weight? obviously a hitch climber won't. Could a rope wrench or even F8 be used above/in conjunction with the mechanical device or hitch climber on a DdRT system to successfully add enough friction to support 2 persons in a controlled decent? Many mechanical devices have to stay on your rope, so in the event of a rescue, the rescuer would kind of have to use it or it'd get in the way. and climbing up on a prussic would take an age! Any thoughts?

My mate sells them. I think it was this model i demo'd, was told it will lift about 600kg close in. the biggest one, trailer = 235kg, crane 218kg, load capacity 1.9tonnes. 4 meters long so even with quad attached its all under a ton and fits on a long trailer. Price, 2 examples from the internet. the big one with driven wheels, steerable drawbar and telescopic boom, new about 12k. the smaller (1.6tonne capacity) without driven wheels, ex demo, about 4k, 5k new. very rough prices Those are the quad ones. the tractor ones are between 3-5 ton load.
-
With or without driven wheels?
-
Depends what you want. I've recently demo'd a Honda foreman 500 with a kranman trailer with power pack, crane with grab and powered rear wheels (single speed but quite surprising what it will push you up and cope with.

You said 2hours onsite time, your wife said 210, now you know your hourly rate
-
Sorry to hear you've been done again. It'd be worth putting it on arbsafe
-
Biomass like Johnny said. With the space over here, Its more efficient doing this than chipping onsite and carting away IMO
-
I find it ironic that forum members think this an unrealistic price, yet work for peanuts themselves? From jesses posts he seems to run a high end well equipped small established company with new equipment. Perhaps there's a lesson in there
-
I believe this one is rated to lift 1.4ton. but I'm guessing thats without attachment and close in. I wouldn't be surprised if the grab weighs 300kg, and it holds the weight an extra meter out so probably under a ton realistically. With pallet forks id expect it to easily lift a pallet weighing over a ton.
