    More Rigging

    wicklamulla replied to RC0's topic in Video forum

    @AHPP so the smooth curved Notch would apply a more even weight distribution to a rigging rope compared to the Arbpro?

    £2220! but thas the daddy that'll tug 1800kg in first gear. I'd prefer 2T power as i know some people that have Honda powered 4T versions that can prove problematic if they tilt over sideways and potentially starve the head of oil. The Eder looks easy to use as you control the throttle setting with the rope. A useful bit of kit that would be an alternative to a winch on a steel bumper or a Tirfor winch. Plus ya cud carry it into the woods in kit form.

    Ok Araldite was useless for this repair. I used this cheap stuff I found on Ebay. I filled the tank and turned the saw over onto its side and left it overnight and not a dribble was lost. It's a liquid plastic that is thin enough to run into hairline cracks, then you cure it in seconds using the supplied UV light. Amazing stuff. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Second-Fix-Liquid-Plastic-Welding-Kit-Fix-Repair-and-Seal-Anything-UK-FAST/253129883875?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

    have ya checked the hydraulic oil level?

    i wood've thought the 7 ton chassis wasn't much different to the 3.5 & 5.5 tonner so it's a shame they don't offer it in 4X4 guise. If ya need or want to stay legal with a 4X4 variant then there is not much leeway with a 3.5 tonner. Great looking vehicles and good for domestic arb but i'd struggle with their size as it's toight enuf in the narrow Devon lanes with an old MK6 Transit double cab as it is! I'd be better off with a Cabstar or Grafter sometimes but i hate tiny cabs.

    Hi, I damaged the fuel filler 'neck' (where the filler cap screws into) and it now has a hairline crack which allows fuel to escape. Is there any sealer or glue i can use to seal it up? @spudulike

    mate of mine does fire wood and buys fully synth 2T motorcycle racing oil in 5L containers and it works out very cheap, uses it in his off road bikes and chainsaws. I splash out on Redline 2T oil which works out at about £24 per litre and mix it with regular pump petrol!

    Thanks Jase, I have checked to manual and it states 150NM on the bolts so would 200NM be a bit too much? It makes no mention with regards to replacing bolts or nuts so i'll do a visual inspection and if they look fine i'll reuse them. Thanks for replying.

    Hello, I am going to rotate the disc blades, do i need to replace the blade bolts or can i simply reuse the original ones? @Pete B @Jase hutch Thanks very much, Ken

    Hi all, I have been asked to top these Irish Yew clumps as they are gone a bit wayward and getting close to over head power lines. They haven't been touched for a few years and look a bit untidy. They need to be bound up with round fencing wire in order to help them retain their shape and to pull their width in a few inches as one in particular is protruding out onto a footpath and gateway, it'll also make it easier for me to 'top' them evenly. I was going to use ratchet straps to initially pull each clump into shape then use galvanised wire and simply wrap the wire back on itself to secure it in position. Should i use fencing gripples, What say ye?

    you offer a picus (i know Eggs will want some 'word play' here!) service JP?
  24. wicklamulla
    How ya Rowan, are they brand new? You made reference to a V6 so am i right in assuming they are petrol powered?
