The pressure pot looks like a good idea, don't think my spray gun holds more than 1ltr.

Am I right in thinking you don't need undercoat with rustoleum ?
-
Ha ha sorry Bob that ain't my company colour ?. What type of blue paint do you use?
-
I have finally got round to getting a couple of pallets of grit for the blaster, so it's time for the chieftain low loader and foster grain trailer to get spruced up ?. The foster has really bad surface rust (as most of them do) so could prob do with some high build primer first? What paint would you recommend and what supplier? Cheers.

This is the way to go, I spent ages dicking about with pullers and trying to make things for the pullers to grip the bearing better but in the end got a mate who is deadly with the gas axe and he had both bearings off in seconds! with no damage to the shaft at all.

Ha ha your right there stubby, wee grinder doesn't get used much and spends most of it's time abandoned in the Poly tunnel.

Looks like I won't be stump grinding for a while! ?

Cockers are great wee dogs.

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? ? -
Why do the fc make everything so fecking complicated? They are the same with the tender documents, you don't actually have to be any good at the job just good at filling in pointless paperwork! OK rant over ?

Thanks Jase, much appreciated.
