  1. this is a dumper i saw in kalorgoolie, western australia it was huge! ive put a picture of the super pit on aswell
  2. if your at myerscough make sure your bar is no bigger than 15" two fella's nearly got sent home when i did mine for having 18" bars other than that just make sure you turn up on time!
  3. i came out here to australia in january and brung all my climbing kit and boots and pants because it weighed so much i could only bring two pairs of shorts and a few t-shirts, wish id paid for extra luggage now!
  4. good job mate but i bet its slow? you need to run a splitter off a tractor to make it worthwhile and productive
  5. I'm based in western Australia
  6. Exactly what I've done mate! Love the weather here and the work is great
  7. hey man just mailing to see if you ever got those pictures? cheers

  8. great oppurtunity this i came out here on new years to work for silver squirell not looked back yet!
  9. chuck a saw on your harness next time
  10. this is a splitter my dad made a couple of months back quite similar i put pics up but they were removed
  11. i run the 11mm blaze rope through it and it self tends really well you dont need much height at all, im still getting used to mine but it beats the old prussic and gecko rope
  12. well my current set up is just a prussic on a 35m rope which ive always used, until last week when i had a go with a lockjack and the 11mm blaze rope and i thought it was brilliant so just went out and bought a spiderjack and some blaze rope, im working out in australia so theres some sizeable tree's here!
  13. ive just ordered a spiderjack form honey brothers along with a 65m length of blaze rope does this run well in the spiderjack? it seemed to run well in the lockjack, do you know when the mods become avaliable that velcro piece looks a pain for change overs !
  14. ive been here nearly a month now and im loving it, some big tree's here in adelaide
  15. can wear these all day without discomfort! Distel Aluminium Spurs - Classic definately reccomend!
  16. i posted one on here the other day that would be ideal, send me your email address and ill email you some pics
  17. okay its, [email protected] , thanks alot mate cheers!

  18. 2 handed operation is rubbish i dont know how anybody puts up with it, we just put a big disk of wood on it and you can lift it up on the arms so that your not bending down, the legs are on it for when its took off so it sits off the floor, the ram's of a digger so its quite strong but it all depends on what your running it off and how much horsepower your tractor is, cheers for the feedback, it will probably be ebay'd eventually ill post when it goes on, davey_b if you get a hydralic powerpack you would be able to run it with that
