Great idea,I would be up for it!
-
I seem to remember that if a rope is shock loaded,then you get friction/heat,and also a distortion of the rope structure by the tightening.
-
The reduction of two knots dont compound to weaken the rope,but the knot with the bigest reduction in the system is the one that would be relevent regarding max break or SWL. Otherwise you could put three or four knots into the system and it would (with a 30% loss) fail under its own weight! Knot Break Strength vs. Rope Break Strength

It's an old cheapy I use in dirty areas or water,I just opened up the exhaust and adjusted the carb until it didn't over rev,made it richer.

Iv'e messed with an old stihl 170,(bit pointless I know) and it loves it,but make you right your saw is relatively new,If you do get the dual port exhaust,get it tuned in on the carb with a tacho by someone who knows.

:thumbup:That's a fantastic piece of spalted Tony,nice work. You should put up a couple of pics of those vases I looked at! Geoff

Don't know if you can buy an exhaust rather than mod the existing one,but make sure and modifications are backed up by carb adjusments,may meen taking the restricting gromet things off the air screw adjusters to get it runnuing rich enough. You probably know this anyway Liam!

I know Tony well,he works with me too on occasion,Realy knows his stuff on the turning,if you are after comisioning a turned object his work is stunning. He also does training in turning,I had just come on here to put his website up,but he beat me to it! Hiya Tony nice to see you here,Geoff:thumbup1:

Footty doesnt rock my boat,but each to their own!

Economical thinking....nooo dont break it, so you dont...then it all becomes too much so ya do! Thinking I should have done it without thinking the first time! Oh my giddy aunt,Time for kicking cowpats in the air and then looking at your boots when you get to take them off! STRESS ! :banghead

Nice looking job and brill pics Steve! Have you to grind the stump? looks like a good one!

Don't give up the day job Liam,maybe one more beer would have got your artistic juices flowing a bit more!

Ive a 20 hp kholer on my year 2000 stumpy,still runs sweet,good lumps,but then I like the honda on my tw125 chipper too......ho hum, not very helpful of me! -
Do you know of anyone working heavy horses,I'd ask around see if anyone in the imediate area.
-

I got told 'no can do' by a large crane hire company,but the driver was ok with it.

Oops, my old mum still stitches up me hi flex's,mind you she is the only one in the family prepared to...... Well,NO ONE is up for washing them!:001_rolleyes:

That sound about right to me.

It should be a quick fix,if the spade conector has vibrated off its spadeput a little dob of silicon sealer in it when you refit it,helps stop it faling off next time.
-
Thats nice work,great vid!
-
If the client is ok with that its an economical way to go,most are happy with iy,but I wouldn't want the be the priceing the job after its already been done this way 2 or three times!
-
No worries mate,I use it for the ocasional root snip if I cant grind and have to winch,snedding windblowns in water(canal work),and anything else where I wouldt want to mess up the 200,& yes ms170:blushing:It just keeps on going,and taking the abuse.
