  2. Nice one mate!
  3. Ditto to test cricket, but this is good to have stored in your mind page titled 'double anchor configurations' http://www.treeworker.co.uk/downloads/hitch_climbers_guide.pdf
  4. He's using a lanyard with a carabina on both ends and a device that holds both ways. a rope grab or distel knot grabs one way only and can use one hand to pill the slack in, this system it appears you need both hands a simple version would be a lanyard with a carabina on both ends and a normal prussik or just use your climbing line for the change over
  5. Nice one Ian nice kit too!

  10. AP is pretty constant performance from when its new to when its worn through the outer core! really nice to use Beeline is good but needs bedding in, adjusting and doesnt last aslong imo
  11. Downsides Towing to vehicle capacity Need to pay for trailer licence need to buy a 14ft flatbed, pay for it to have a tipper fitted, then buy and bastardise a small chipper smaller chip capacity than a transit its a cumbersome unit, unlike a small road tow and tranny not very versatile gonna be expensive and probabally unreliable unless you can fix it yourself what i would do your gonna have to get a trailer test, tipp trailer, and chipper anyway, keep it a trailer and a chipper and spend the conversion money on hgv licence and get a 7.5t iveco
  12. Great thread Spud! What do you (or Megatron) reckon to this, shipped my 880 over from the uk and changed to Aspen without re-tuning, a fair few tankfulls have been through her now, just a bit paranoid, i think its ok, a touch rich perhaps, but acceptable (?) And its got the green airfilter, is it worth changing to the black one?

  16. voltage regulator died on my old mk3 hilux returning from southern london to cambridge at night-truck ran fine as diesel but no lights made the m25 interesting, so pulled the red wire from the alternator off the regulator, stripped some insulation off and wrapped the bare end round the positive on the battery terminal bypassing the regulator completely, worked perfectly well nice bright lights!
  17. +1
  18. do our rigging on a stien rc2000 great buy
  19. awesome sized trees reg! any variations in tree type or work?
  20. Interesting job and work Dadio General question, how many guys and what kit do you take to a standard size tree like that? Steve, i think using our tracked chipper to pull trees (serious trees and abuse amitidly) contributed to stretching and splitting the tracks on one link per track, resuting in new tracks . . .
  21. depens who you buy it off, justins, 200t no bar £357.50, 201t no bar £370.50
