Back in the day it was a front line saw. My ruined fingers speak to many years on the 38 It's 2 generations out of date so today it's a firewood pile saw, it's rugged and dependable but the power to weight ratio isn't there. Modern saws will leave it for dead Value????? Is it a going concern? I will give you 50quid for the nostalgia value:laugh1:

I mark biners and the like (when needed) for LOLER inspections and i do to with a dremmel It just depends on how and where you mark it

I am an inspector and the job is an hourly rate. The only way it could be abused is if the inspector supplied kit, but even in that case there is no obligation to buy replacement kit from the inspector. If a client did suspect the assessor was taking the pee, they can always find another.
-
Not quite that simple If it's like for like manufacturer then the chassis rails will probably be the same distance apart. If it's another make they probably won't be

Drew LOLER is what you already do, if you had to comply to UK LOLER you might have to record a bit more of what you check but that would be all. LOLER is the UK part of pan European legislation and it only exists because some people can't be trusted not to allow the use of shabby kit. We are an unfortunate casualty of that situation.
-
Any kit with a "life" without an audit trail fails. The ones that are going to moan are going to moan, the criteria for an inspection is fit for use, pass or fail. The feelings of a client are irrelevant to the inspection.
-
Not "from now on" but if the owner of the kit can prove its date into service, there is no reason you cant make it a new ID or a new tag with the original number. Any changes should be recorded in the inspection.
-
You can use your professional judgement to determine the "fit for use" but replacement cost should not be a factor in that decision making process.

The rope is bad but I will give him a pass on the rest. The bare chest isn't every ones taste but it is filmed in the USA and jeans are allowed

What he said....twice over:thumbup1:

In the interests of a fair comparison, the 201 is pants out of the box and you are comparing a modified one with a stock saw, why not compare it to a modified 540?

Its true that polly is bad on heat but if you think that's bad spend a lot more an dyneema and you will have the same problem. Heat only builds up when the knot isn't dressed properly or it slips on a turn. Like any tool, treat it within its limits and it will serve you well.

Well if using LOLER expired kit is OK to pull stuff over for Bob, I am willing to continue with my tried and tested.

And since we are dealing with a vehicle with a MAM of 3500kg I said We have large ally bodies in the UK but they only work well on large capacity vehicles that don't carry aggressive loads (or they need a sacrificial liner) But I appreciate that this is a different country with different ways of doing things. You just have to know what you are talking about.

It works for me and has done for a couple of decades. I have used it to pull with tirfor, vehicle winch and vehicles up to tracked diggers. If 4 ton wont pull it over its time for another plan.

A heavier flywheel is better at smoothing out peak loads which makes it kinder on the drive line. -

An unloader valve kicks in when the set pressure is reached, while the air supply is in use the PTO is grafting. I have seen one running a 6 inch chipper, have you seen one that broke while running a chipper? -

I agree with that but there is a PTO gearbox that will take the hammer. Dodge made a remote PTO gearbox that drove a hydrovane compressor big enough to run a jack hammer. It would do a small chipper easily -
Its not phenolic pit, its a phenolic faced ply (plywood with a high grip plastic facing) It pays to know what you are talking about. Ally frames for tippers aren't a good idea, constant flexing gives them a short lifespan particularly on smaller vehicles, its also expensive for not much weight saving.
-
Depends on the thickness but at 18mm they are bad and worse when they get old and start getting waterlogged
-
18 inch spacing's is about right, I would go with a steel floor, the phenolic ply just wont last and its way too grippy for tipping stuff.
-
What's a phenolic pit floor then?
