    You get a bit of variety, that one looks pretty quick grown, lacking the deeper bark fissuring you get with older material The acid test is the buds, get a picture of those for the definitive answer

    The trouble with a thread inserts is going to be getting it lined up, when you go off centre drilling a stud out you invariably "egg" the hole and the thread insert drill ends up off centre then you have to start slotting the manifold holes. Top tip Leave the manifold on and drill through the manifold hole to true things up as best as can be.

    For next time drill it under size and batter a torx but in. No need to go near the rest of it with a drill bit

    I dunno, it wouldn't surprise me to learn they were trying to wring a bit more cash out

    I used a mewp on a morbidly dead Beech tree the other day It was climbable but without the mewp it would have needed rigging it down and the rigged parts would certainly have broken up as they swung in. There would have been bits of timber and damage all over the show. Was it unclimbable? No Would it have been a mess? Yes. Was the mewp the better option? Yes

    NO, just get the white operative card, it takes about half an hour to do and most site agents just want to see a card that's in date.

    Nice to see that the institutes of learning know what they are talking about.

    Back in the day when that was a front line machine, the "lean run" was the signal to stop now and fill it so you don't have to use the choke to re start.

    You could park a Golf in it. It extends out when in use

    The HSE listens to industry but evrything they do comes back to their mandate to protect people. The two and then three action gates were seen as an improvement over screw gates for personell main line attachement. From memeory one of the main issues cited was repeated opening and closing could lead to a gate not bieng properly secured. The self locking action of the three way gate was seen as a better option. Clearly three action gates are becoming ubiquitous but initially they were the HSE's "preferred" option for main line attachment and there is no real compunction to use them elsewhere if you have viable alternative

    Its a good effort but they need to drop the H in horses

    I am a tree surgeon or arborist for posh, climbing is just part of it
  19. treequip
    What about tree surgeons or arborists??
  20. treequip
    Ha ha ha I like that
  21. treequip
    It was the HSE that decided. They said that 3wl should be used for main line attachment particularly where repeated opening was going on.

    I do mine on the coolest setting possible, usually just the quick wash cycle

    Some fabric stops it all clanking as much, a pillow case is good. I daisy chain the ropes, they usually come out untangled
  24. treequip
    Same as but cable tie any loose metalwork up to stoop it clanking around, put a blanket in and do it when she is out:laugh1:
  25. treequip
    Chuck it in the machine with a bit of whatever you wash your clothes with. Fast spin brings them out ready to use
