Are you meaning in steel erecting etc? If so mma is favoured because of its advantage in working in the elements, all the components will have been mig welded where poss before assembly, some metals like cast iron are welded mma because the wire would be unusable in mig, other than that mig trumps mma in most things, the wire can be flux of metal powder cored for specialist applications, the only thing better for heavy fans is submerged arc welding but that can only be done on v butt welds not much good for fillets

I didn't say 10" fillet I said 10" plate with fillets upto 6". I was a plater/welder/pipe fitter in another life, used to fab and weld oil rig structures for thyssens, gearboxes for ships and submarines that were as big as a small house for David Browns, turbine steam chests for power stations, the biggest job was a 400t press for a car manufacturers called aida in Japan.

Problem with weld repairs is you don't know the grade of material used, a lot of materials need pre heating prior to welding and heat treating after welding to stress relieve it otherwise you can get cracking in the heat affected zone. All this talk of mig welding only being good for thin materials is bobbins, we used to weld upto 10" plate with fillet welds upto 6".

I've got 4 landys and they serve me well, full service every 6 months and keep on top of the little bits and they give little trouble, just had a clutch fitted in my oldest one, a 99 td5 with 175k on the clock, first time I've had to spend anything on it other than little bits for mot

Hi Bob, we use a trupulse 200 available from York survey supplies, it's more than twice the price but measures distance, height, incline and the distance between 2 points and works the calcs out for you, I'll send it home with the yoof if you want to have a play with one, never used the honey brothers one

Rear lift is over 5 ton

Don't know the weight of it but I have a bandit 90 on the back of mine with no troubles

Depends on load, eg if you have a heavy winch on the front, but I would go for around 45 back and 35-40 front

And the R, its osses

Cheers guys, I'll have a look, one of the bearings was still mostly intact so might be able to get the info off there. We have a pretty good bearing suppliers fairly local so should be able to get them if I know what I'm asking for. Koyo factory is local too but I doubt if they sell them over the counter

Anyone know part number or size of wheel bearings for chipper? Wheel and hub parted company with chipper today due to brakes binding and I need to get sorted during hols

Well I'm no expert on insurance matters, but I would imagine the more accidents there are in tree work, the more dangerous it is deemed to be, and so the higher the premiums? And as for h&s matters, it does impact on our industry. They aren't his trees, it's the local cricket ground.

I would imagine so Funnily enough his mate nearly killed himself last year, tried pulling a wind blown ash out of another tree but a big limb was stopping it coming free, so he got out to cut the limb off, bearing in mind he had now put it under massive side tension with the tractor, last thing he remembered was the tip of the bar touching the limb, he eventually woke with the saw on top of him still running with severe head and facial injuries, and lost a lot of blood, to top it off he also ended up with septicaemia from it.
