Another element that might affect the price is that the competitor has clearly got your information from the TPO online notification and they know who the other contractor is. It is entirely possible that they have sharpened their bid to be ultra competitive in order to deny a competitor work. If that is the case you have to wonder where they are going to shave the work to keep it in profit?

You're quite right to get more than 1 quote but you have had a "freebie" of the people that got the consent for you, the average charge for the paperwork seems to run between 60 and 100 pounds, if you use the other outfit, at least offer to cover the expenses of getting you the consent.

Well lets see, you have had the benefit of their professional advice and they have assessed the tree and made a successful application that may well have been beyond your ability. You owe them morally if nothing else. There is nothing stronger than your conscience preventing you from using another contractor and there is nothing stopping the original applicant from using a civil action to recover costs if they so choose, that could become a coin toss in the hands of the county court.

Hmmmm, so the pilot control signals the pump by either pressure or pressure relief. I am afraid I don't know enough about that system to say one way or the other.
-
There is one in the tractor back end you can make use of:thumbup1:

Depends on the flow the pump puts out and the flow the winch needs, it will run but without sufficient flow, only slowly Find out the flow of the pump and the requirement of the winch motor. My bet is probably not very well but it depends on the above
-
Ok so I have had a quick read up on the JD power beyond thing It seems to be nothing more than an enthusiastic name for tandem pumps. You don't really need proportional control for a winch, a simple open centre valve will do

So what are your business plans/ambitions for the new year?

Same stuff different year..... -
OK so its clear we need to do a little benchmarking First thing to find out is what flow the winch would like, it will have a maximum, minimum and an ideal FLOW RATE somewhere between the two. Now we need to know its operating pressure. There should be a plate on the motor with this info. Once you have those, consult the tractor handbook or the interweb to find out how much flow and pressure your fine machine will make. Many modern tractors have tandem pumps so flow might not be an issue, if your machine comes up lacking you may have to fit a compatible PTO pump, often the front PTO (if you have one) is the logical place for this. Less flow will mean a slower winch but as long as the pressure is there the power will also be there. Too much flow is counter productive, you end up labouring the pump, relief valves and boiling the oil

I have driven one (quite possibly that example going off the age of it) and it was the worst thing i have ever driven, by a country mile. You have to lock the front suspension out or you will get seasick while destroying the front end . One of those good ideas that should never have got off the drawing board
-
You said a bad word. Proportional controll is expensive, way more than a conventional closed/open system. Why do you need proportional cotroll? The power beyond function is normally for intermittent peak demand, using it on a winch where all sorts can go wrong dosent sound like a good idea to me.

You could have done the entire season and more on one chain, saved yourself the money improved your skills and not bothered the environment withthe manufacturing burden of the chains. I am going to grass you to the umweltpolitzei:laugh1:

Anyone know what the accommodation is like?

As Huk says, these are dirt road countries lacking infrastructure They cant even keep a lid on the spread of the disease, much less set up quarantine The sad fact is that an infected person could be half way around the world before becoming symptomatic

Do you own a pub full of beer:001_rolleyes:
-
First off have somewhere secure to put them or the logs will go walkies Before you buy the saw buy a pair of chainsaw pants and preferably boots. If you can run to some training that will cover the basics of sharpening which is a skill you will spend many years perfecting Kit to avoid is cheap PRC saws that are shoddily made and will let you down. Go for the budget end of mainstream Or...If you are an inn keeper and near me I will cut them if you fill me full of beer (afterwards)

Trouble with gizmo sharpening is, one day you wont have the gizmo, or 35 quid for a file:001_rolleyes:
-
OMG, did you know that when you bought it? Please tell me they last a decade in daily use
-
Part of the use of a chainsaw is understanding the cutting mechanism and how different angles affect the way a saw cuts. Learn to sharpen without gizmos

Anyone had a gopro vid go out of sync with the sound? I have a vid where some of it is out and with the sound on it looks alarming
-
I have had the same problem with gopro studio but it was free and you get what you pay for. I haven't put music to mine because, well for my first goes I didn't bother and it seemed more complicated than I wanted to bother with, later perhaps
-
I tend to look at things from the "what could go wrong if..." point of view and I wouldn't like to be in bother with that for a defence
-
But it doesn't (shouldn't) work like that. If they change the dye they have changed the specification and thus any current certification is null and void. A new certification of the new product specification would be required.

A harness manufacturer will test the harness and rely on the data from the materials supplier. In short the webbing supplier says, "its good for X" and its up to the manufacturer to either believe or perform their own testing.

Ya think so??? In another life I was involved in testing UV degradation in polymers, we used a UV cabinet that would give a hundred sunbeds a run for their money. That's science not guess work.
