Mechanical adjuster/positioner for wire-core lanyards
arbaholic replied to morten's topic in Climbers talk
I used to use a 13mm wire core flipline with isc micro grab. Totally secure when locked off but with slackening of there was plenty of rrom for improvement. Now i use a normal 13mm rope with art positioner. IMO it is unbeateable, pulling slack through couldnt be easier, slackening of is easy and manouvering around a tree with a normal rope compared to a wire core flipline is the difference between riding a push bike with 2 wheels or triangle blocks of wood. I wont be changing my setup any time soon. -
Any more opinions on this?
-
Yeah that could be something to look into. Just wanted to be abit more clear about wether towing something as heavy as that would cause any more major problems to happen like engine and gearbox? Surely if the truck is legal to tow it it cant be that bad.. . .
-
If im right the clutch has been upgraded. When you say it will kill the truck what do you mean? Gearbox problems or engine go pop can you be abit more specific?

Go for an alpine magnum mate. They are awesome grinders. They requre a certain technique for effective use but once youve masterd that you can have stumps smashed out of the ground in not time. Plenty of positives to using one of these, access etc. I tried using a small handlebar like grinder and had the worst days grinding of my life. Hard to manouver, bad for you back didant get on with it atal. I dont think the hire shop was sharpening the teeth very well so maybe not the fairest trial tho.

Hi peeps, I have just brought a new transit. its an 02 reg 90 t350. Do yo think that towing a chipper that weighs 2 tonnes most days is abit too heavy. Im not so much worried about fuel cunsumption more the health of the truck itself? Cheers

That looks cool. And usefull 2

How much do these bars cost then for say a 18inch?
-
I`d say husky 357xp. The saw has tons of power already with even more on an 18 inch bar it would rip

I gotta wait till xmas for mine as its a present . Still on no.5 at the mo. Shooting zombies and team death match. Call of duty causes serious sleep depravation, and causes communication problems too. While playing online only 3 out of 100 words said to you are absorbed. Thats a fact

That is a biiiiiiig bit of hedge there!! Would have been dreaming of conifer topping after that lot. Would have been nice if after ur final cut chain break on prepare to climb out, customer appears very dissapointed wants at least another foot off!!

Theres a road running through aylesford that has loads of these. Cant remember the name. I heard that the trunks are worth alot of money?
-
Would certainly be a talking point at the local boozer if you did!

Thats a real skill reducing trees like that! reductions have to be one of the hardest ways to work on trees. Nice one steve.

I think it would be a drawn out and difficult procedure to get a company to pay tax on earnings that a sub contracted company didant pay for themelves. Surely the tax man will chase the sub-contracted company for the tax as its there profit? I see your point about the paperwork, must be for a reason. If i used anyone as a subbie i would personally check their insurance. From my point of view they are working around my customers so for there sake should anything happen you want them to be covered. Your name is on the line to a certain degree so you want everything to be proper. Tax however is upto them. Even if you did want to how could you possibly know and chek if they payed tax or not!

Just one thing if you go to naama bay when walking through the high street dont be fooled by the polite well spoken egyptian people that ask you to come and write a message in there book and such like. They lure you into a back room were in most cases a pushy aggressive egyptian will take over and try and pressure sell you their bottled after shave. You need to be pretty forcefull to get out without buying anything. As I was told before I went " be careful of any large egyptian man as the reason hes large is hes eating very well because hes making alot of money out of tourists."

Good times! Lets get the party started then on my word go and turn every electrical appliance on in your house and the heating on highest temperature for a minimum of 8 hours. Ready, Steady, GO!!!!
-
If you are properly subbing your work out then you defininitly dont need to worry about their tax or insurance, Thats their responsibility. You give them the job details and everything is upto the other company owner as far as im aware.
