    Have you tried swapping the lanyard to the bottom of the prussik, then clipping the top of your hh to a chest loop/inner tube/the front of your shirt? That way you could make progress with both feet, and only use your arms for balance? Same gear, different setup.
  2. Dan Curtis
    What about in a frog walker system? Both legs and arms work there for ascent. Progress is captured automatically by whatever system you have, be it a croll, rw uni etc

    Can't get good enough signal just now, will do when I get somewhere good. So you're standing on the hitch hiker, essentially capturing progress rather than making it with your right foot?

    Two separate static lines I might add:thumbup:
  5. Dan Curtis
    Great idea. Don't suppose you've got an 090 cluttering up your workshop?
  6. Dan Curtis
    Ditto. Is the lanyard thing actually doing anything? Looks like you're just standing on your bridge:confused:

    As far as I understand it, yes, provided the trailer doesn't weigh more than 750Kgs, and the vehicle/trailer combo is legal ie. The towing vehicle is plated to tow that weight. Personally I find all those regs very confusing. I have a b1+e licence so I know I can drive anything up to 3.5, and tow whatever the vehicle is capable of, up to a 7t train weight. Happy days
  8. Dan Curtis
    not quite, b+e is for towing with any vehicle up to 3.5t where the gtw exceeds 4.25t

    Fair enough, still wouldn't be my weapon of choice though:001_tongue:
  10. Dan Curtis
    That's a cracker mate, makes mine seem a little small
  11. Dan Curtis
    I believe that the gtw on a tranny is 5t so you can tow 1.5t, you should be more worried about the truck being over 3.5 than anything else!
  12. Dan Curtis
    I know what you mean but a bit of heaving and grunting to get it on the truck is ok when you have less heaving to feed the chipper if you get me?
  13. Dan Curtis
    As I said, it's a little chipper. If I was ever in the position I needed to buy one I wouldn't bother with anything less than 8". If you look around you can get good second hand bigger chippers for the same money as a second hand 150

    Worked with Ed on one occasion, nice fella, hard worker.

    Just ask the questions here, I'm sure as a collective, AT members can answer most questions:thumbup1: Maybe get a mod to adjust the title to make it clear this thread is the place to ask?
  16. Dan Curtis
    Great idea mate, would save a lot of repeated threads. If it takes off might be good of it was a sticky

    I know some guys who'll get nice and comfy in the middle of a tree the fire away with the poles, mostly dead wooding that is:p

    Really disappointing capacity per hour, some jobs a little baby chipper just can't keep up. The old ones, possibly the new ones too, have an annoying habit of pushing curved branches down and getting the butt end stuck behind the anvil

    Beware...where are you based?
  20. Dan Curtis
    Worth a try, was going to say I'd do a field test but its probably a bit cold!
  21. Dan Curtis
    Do you think eating a beaver would improve your felling?
  22. Dan Curtis
    Had one of cliffs calendars in a shared house while back, always good for a laugh.
  23. Dan Curtis
    Saw them at Wembley on that tour, what a night! Don't know if it showed it on TV last night but Angus had a scissor lift on the end of the walkway, awesome band!
  24. Dan Curtis
    Well done mate I've still got your DVDs of you want to get them before you go west?
  25. Dan Curtis
    Could a sign of white finger or Renauds syndrome, get yourself checked out mate.
