Nice wee retirement fund that!

Reg Coates mounted something similar on top of his chipper hopper, it looked bloody handy! His chipper is much heavier and better made than a Timberwolf tho. He has a video of it too.

That's more of a wood tink digger than a fancy, Posey arb digger 😂. And for that reason I love it 👍.

I think someone told me you can use 3 way crabs for irata but screw gates are cheaper. What will you be doing on the ropes? Good luck with the course.

Yeah I've done level 1 it's fairly simple, I had to keep reminding myself to screw the carabiners shut (too used to 3 way ones) . Yeah big difference between doing the course inside a nice dry clean building and the real world out on site! Where you doing it?

That looks a handy wee tool, what is it? What size of winch is on it?

Plenty heavy climbers out there! Bigtreedon on here is huge and kills trees no bother, he is more muscle than fat tho. Think you should get someone on here to let you try a climb at the weekend to see if you like it before spending any cash tho. As others have said, I think it would be a good idea to get a grab wagon or hiab truck because they are well handy on big jobs.

Quite a lot of forestry guys up here using bucket winches with towers on the jib. Check out a and b services killin, they put igland winches in buckets. If you had double drums you could highlead easy enough.

Might just get 2 of them then 😂😂😂.

Just got a quote to convert a 22 ton digger to winch 130 grand!!!

Yeah the felling is my thing too. Great old winch with some serious pull and speed with the 5 speed gearbox! Only thing that let's it down is the ancient osa 250 base.

I think it was loch avich near dalavich.

Look up at650 skyline winch on YouTube, it's a video of mine with previous owner. He's got videos of his digger based one now too.

We have made a steel frame to go on top of an old tipping trailer, it has mesh on top at about a 45 degree angle just tip bucket loads of soil onto it and gravity does the rest. Got to be dry tho.

Banned most places offshore now as you said no ankle support. I thought they banned them because a cup of boiling hot tea got spilt inside someone's riggers badly burning their foot? 😂
