  1. Suitable for what? Its not so much matching the saw to the man as the saw to the task at hand
  2. Nice setup, but the plumbers cleavage
  3. I think you have answered your own question there, address that problem first, if that don't cure it change the harness. Best way to do that is to try a few.
  4. Well, like any vehicle they do break down but a lot of the people shouting loudest about it are the ones that have taken a ten year old vehicle and expect it to work like a new one. They tend also not to posses a grease gun or any mechanical sympathy
  5. That ogre wasn't happy at work, the entire ogre metaphor is unhappy, see the unhappiness melt of him as the holiday relaxes him, watch the next instalment as the ogre returns when he is back at his unhappy job and the credit card bill lands
  6. If you need a holiday to cure the ogre you need to change your job It is a good advert though
  7. The rudest armpit I have ever come across was a site safety officer. Site specific RAMS went in before he came on site. He refused to read it and insisted the trees (simple straight fells) were climbed, because that's how the men that did his trees at home did it. Newly qualified, pissed on power and full of the "I'm not going to prison for you" nonsense that the come out of MIOSH with.
  8. Disco will take a hydraulic pump as long as its not an aircon model. The pump fits where the compressor would be and is belt driven. A JCB power pack will run your little crane, the crane manufacturer will have a power pack matched or you can go to one of the big hydraulic suppliers and pick one up off the shelf
  9. The least I would do is put a deflector under it so the nice round trippyuppy parts are kept away from your feet
  10. A saw bench will have a guard over the cutter wheel, and you use a push stick to keep your hands out of mischief. When you fall on that thing your body will take the place of the log and the chain will run.
  11. Or you trip and fall on it:blushing:

    Oregon chain

    I buy my chain by the reel and never use the boxes except on the odd occasion I make one for a mate. Even if you did box them all there would still be plenty left over.
  13. Well you did say land rover:001_rolleyes:
  14. Use a defender and put a hydraulic PTO on the gearbox
  15. treequip

    Oregon chain

    Makes you wonder how many times he has "accidentally made one up from the wrong reel"
  16. Nope you are wrong. Moving to same make and model is a doddle (see what I did there:laugh1:) Moving from one make to another is probably going to need a new bumper or some serous bodging
  17. treequip

    Oregon chain

    The goods aren't as described so he has to refund and pay for the postage
  18. Those fibre ropes are nicer than cable to handle, but they are easy to damage and Dyneema is pants at shock loading (yes I know you shouldn't but....) and its really good at melting if it even sees any friction. Steel cable for me thanks
  19. If its had a bit of a rattling around I would be tempted to replace the bolt and maybe consider a bit of thread locking solution.
  20. You have to make sure all the fasteners are tight, a chipper is fundamentally an act of violence, designed to shake itself to bits. Time to check the rest of the machine over perhaps?
  21. Weren't you putting a winch on the mazda a couple of hours ago???
  22. That's ACE, can I get one with a couple of machine guns, and a grenade launcher attached please.
  23. Granted but then the bark isn't very oak like and the pinkness bleaches over time If it were oak I think there would need to be a couple more "ballast weights" in the bucket
  24. That Hornbeam looks like an Ash to me:laugh1:
  25. The whole shebang, you can walk in to the council and look at all the documentation.
