    The hook I usually need to give s good boot to stick it! The older ones had thinner sharper more flexible metal.

    Cool Mog, get that chipper mounted on the drawbar blasting into the trailer .

    Ha ha parrots beak

    I've still got 1 of the grease guns for that, a wee black thing with a red cap.

    Werner is a much better winch, 2 way power but more to go wrong and expensive to fix. It came off 1 of the u1300 troop carriers I'm sure a few months back .

    An Aldi come a long can be enough to get you out of trouble. If you think you might get stuck, don't go in there. The winch is usually at the wrong end if you do get stuck Get yourself a tirfor until you have the funds for the right winch

    I worked with a guy that sharpened a brand new chain! I've ever come close to an edge he could get.

    Very very cool!
  12. Stephen Blair
    Thanks for that, it's mesmerising to watch.

    I think they just fall into place but how does that part of the chain reaction start?
  14. Stephen Blair
    I've watched that a dozen times and can't work it out!

    Cat have thumb controls. I can't fault mine. 3 years old and no problems or complaints .
  16. Stephen Blair
    That's the ones
  17. Stephen Blair
    Best ones I've had were from an agricultural supplies, HDC were the make. Been going strong between numerous vehicles for about 16 years.

    5 ton tirfor, got it out a skip as a gift from someone I did a favour for! Made me thousands over the years. I've had it since 1999 and no reason it won't be going in 2099!
  19. Stephen Blair
    Could you put the controls inside the cab and get a quick connector like John Deere have for their loaders?
  20. Stephen Blair
    Magnetic fall off and you will run over them. You need some headlights and indicators on the winch, I added them to the chipper.

    I used to go to the gym a fare bit years ago, all this cross fit started, the funniest thing was a farmers walk, guys trying to carry dumbells about 20m, guys in pain shouting in vests! Ha ha all I could think of was lugging drums of diesel up and down the hillside in the rain wearing chainsaw wellies
  22. Stephen Blair
    Sure was, fed him well everyday!

    My last felling job I priced in a labourer to carry in all my stuff and keep the lunch site moving through the woods, it was classed as the second worker so not lone working, he was girdling and tiforing trees over so the winch and cables are hellish to move through un managed woods.
  24. Stephen Blair
    Have to agree, walking in to site with everything is brutal!
  25. Stephen Blair
    Pretty much, apart from the gardening part. What do you guys charge on your day rate and do you have enough work within an hours travelling?
