-
you guys looked like you had fun, pitty i missed it, hopefully make the next one.

heres a pic for you eddie, when you angle your foot away the rope runs through when you straighten it, the rope locks against itself and you just push up, works a treat with about 20feet or more rope below you:001_cool:
-
went for a bit of a hike tonight to get you guys some pics:001_smile:
-

[quote name=skyhuck;133426 Thanks to Pete for showing me the VT and hitch climber' date=' I will stick it under the seat of the mog with my silky and stick to my ladders thanks[/quote] fair enough huck, you cant teach an old dog new tricks:001_tongue:
-
good on you, handy piece of kit i will keep it in mind if i am working over there again:001_smile:
-
i do this all the time rich, especially when i am in and around the glasgow area, i used to work up there a lot yrs ago. and i was a sado that scribed his initials and date into stumps, so i love a nosy

get a big stick, and whack the groundie with i,t for letting it roar its nuts off while he walks 100 yds for branches:sneaky2:get headsets dean, its like making a worker remote controlled:001_tongue:
-
good on you jane, i bet you are really chuffed, hope it turns pemanent
-
i dont know as well as you mate, i am working only on theory:scared1:
-
better with a big roof mount then mate:001_tongue:i made the winch remote controlled for jobs just like that. i could drive right up, winch them straight up, then just reverse back, but it all depends on the ground conditions ans stability above the wall. i am after a double drum for the 3 point linkage(once i win the lottery)then you can set up a main line and winch with the other:001_cool:
-
i cant believe that this has been lying at the bottom of the "ass" box in A+E . for so many years. all it needs is a right good degreasing and it will be as good as new:001_smile:
-
get a hood for your jacket mate, keep the creepy crawlies out
-
get a winch on the front of the mog mike, my one is down at acprices, i traded it in against the new chipper. you could of dragged that lot up easy peasy. good job though mate
-
my mates got a small carlton, excellent. but he keeps it razor sharp and doesnt try and grind through steel and bricks which is always a bonus. owner operator all the way with this type of kit imo
-
hi guys, if i win the euro millions lottery tonight, the first person to pm me in the morning can have them. what would you do with the 110 million. i want a castle and a bazooka, and the wife can do what she likes with the rest.

i learnt this when i was about 10, i had a goat that wouldnt ever cross a burn, if i extended its lead to about 30 feet ang gave it a good pull, i would drag its awkward arse over it no bother
-
if its a whoopie sling, they are pretty simple once you work out how it works, i snapped one once, not that big a fan. i prefer just to use strops:001_smile:
-
sorry tom, hadnt seen your picks on the last page. now that i have ahitch climber all these pics make sense now. cheers mate:001_cool:
-
excellent mate, thanks a lot. great pics.
-
you dont have one already:thumbdown:i bought that when i was 15 with my first yts wage plus some paper round money. my dad went nuts especially since i dodged college to go and buy it, i broke the first one throwing it into a tree, rambo style, and they replaced it. had it 18 years now. its not for sale mate sorry. tommer, 6 are in the post mate, i found an old selection box so i have mixed it up a bit for you mate:001_tongue:
