  1. If you inform the trainer when you take the course then they should allow for it and give you plenty of time.

    They can even change the screen settings if you have an issue with letter colours.

    There is normally a way to make things easier during the test.

  2. So far its doing well i use it for training courses so the cradle protects the casing and exhaust it can be a bit fast but set on slow means it does not rush the man controlling the load.

    I tried another type that a friend has and it seamed a little unstable and i don't think it would take the miss use you get with trainees.

    Plus billy at cyclone is a very helpful bloke

  3. The winch i have has a one ton straight pull and seams a bit more robust also is housed in a cradle to protect engine parts.

    I have used the pro climber winch and found it good but a little wobbly to use and was a bit nervous of it falling over and damaging bits of casing.

    That is why i looked at cyclone it looks as if it will last in the hands of trainees.

    Also billy at cyclone is very help full.

  4. Hi gents i have just received my new winch from cyclone winches of north Yorkshire.

    Its a petrol driven capstan for the extraction courses I am going to be running.

    Has anybody got one of these yet.

    They are a bit more robust then the pro climber winch and a little cheaper.

    I was wondering how many are out there I the arb community.

    Also any problems.

  5. Hi i use a lot but only in the training context the sites i use require that i mark out the site as it should be and also its so that candidates get to see a properly marked site.

    All of the felling, handling, spraying and also gassing as there is now a requirement for qualified operators for gassing compounds.

    I get asked if i can prep a forest pack at times.

    There is a lot of footpaths in the dales so a very definite requirement for signs.

  6. Hi Danny no problem on the extraction site i have a few others that i can use.

    The number for Dan nelson is 01729823523 nelsons footwear he will have an answer.

    If you are in settle pop next door to look at the new training center.

    I am sure to be in painting something.

    merry Christmas to you and your girlfriend.

  7. Happy Christmas from Phill and Demelza to all those lovely people that have attended our courses and liked our Facebook page over the last year. Its been great to meet you all and we look forward to seeing you again in the New Year. Have a good one and stay safe

    Cheers

  8. Hi i have a h14 fitted to my 300 tdi i think there is a problem with fitting it to a td5 if i remember its to do with the position of the pto drive when it leaves the gear box.

    Unless there has been a modification made for it.

    Its why i have always stayed with 300 tdis so that i can always transfer my winch.

    If you give the guys at the defender centre a ring they will know.

    cheers phill
