I just removed the plastic clips and use 3 small snaps to attach it to the TM. I was using it all the time, but lately just when blocking down for a long time. I found the shoulder straps limited my reach and movement too much. Think they are £15 ish? I bought mine in Canada though.

I use a stihl battery belt harness as a chest harness on my TM.
-
Interesting, so the webbing from waist pad to bridge rings slides on the back pad? Never seen one in the flesh.
-
Is the bridge twisting issue due to the leg straps not sliding in the lower d's like a tree motion or the edelrid tree magic (wish they were still available)?
-
I should add, we are really looking for someone who already has a work visa in place, or is a Canadian resident or citizen.

We are looking for an experienced groundworker, or less experienced climber to join our small crew, based in Whistler BC. Tickets advantageous, but experience and a good work ethic a must. Wide range of work undertaken, but mostly felling and dismantling conifers. Competitive rates of pay. PM for more info. Thanks Paddy

Help, broken down in France, wheel bearing b2500
paddyvero replied to paddyvero's topic in Arb-Trucks
I suppose I could abandon my perfectly serviceable truck, although that seems excessive as its only a wheel bearing, however it's full of bikes and work kit as I've been visiting family in the alps. Anyway, I've figured out the parts needed with the help of milners. -
Hi guys, looking for advice. I have a Mazda b2500 4x4, 2004. I've been on holiday in France, and the passenger side wheel bearing has completely failed near Dijon, last friday! The recovery garage still hasn't ordered parts, and are quoting 2 weeks delivery time. So, to anyone who has the Mazda or Ranger variants or has worked on them, is the bearing a large sealed type, or a 2 piece deal? As I get 2 options when trying to order. Also is there anything else likely to have been damaged? I am no longer near the truck as I had to drive to my sisters house in the Alps. I'm supposed to be emmigrating to BC on wednesday! Thanks Paddy.

Nice job Reg. Did you thin it at all?
-
Nice reg. We sneaked my 1500 into the back of a property yesterday to avoid carrying the wood out. Not a chance the 350 would have got in.

Another vote for the Mazda, and a shameless plug for mine for sale. Mazda B2500 Rab Cab. ArbTrader Arborists Classifieds

Cool spot Reg. Were you using a wire core cinched up by the topping cut to mitigate any risk of the stem splitting? Thanks
-
Pretty cool Reg. What work were you undertaking?
-
Like brushcutter says, you need to be a BC faller to work falling trees. English certs are not recognised. You might get work in the forest but not falling. Your gear will be fine, just wash it first. You may have better luck in Alberta.

All looks good to me, pinto is designed to be used in that configuration. I like the thicker cords, if it grips reliably then its good to go. As Joe said you could remove the spacer, then put the hitch eyes in between the pulley cheeks.

Another bump. Thanks. -
Its the powerless thing that does it isnt it.

Airsickness? I never suffer, but have to admit by the end of the 40min flight I was glad to touch down. I was staring to get queasy. We stayed at a campsite just out of town right on the beach.
-
Its a cool place for sure. I had a quick visit this past summer. About half way between Port Alberni and the Ucluelet junction there are some awesome swimming pools with lots of rocks to jump off. Needs to be alot warmer though. Did go up in that float plane in your picture too.

Bump, have short term availability due to a full weeks cancellation. Thanks. -
<p>Hi James. I am writing to you in response to your canadian query. Have you secured your work visa as thats the vital first step. I live and work in Whistler. You wont have much luck with tree work that late in the year as work stops in november when the snow arrives. The standard of climbing is really quite high, and you are certainly expected to work hard. There is a good number of english arborist around vancouver, and I would think with your experience this would be a good place to start. The certs dont have much value, but your knowledge and apptitude are important. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks Paddy.</p>
