    He's put two bolts vertically into the top of the tipper tailboard. The bolts protrude up by a couple of inches and the Trolley slides onto the bolts. He's drilled two holes through the trolley sides, where the white bars slide in. The trolley holes slide down onto the bolts and the trolley with handle attached is hanging off the back if the truck, not using up space. Don't forget this is an American truck, steel chip box and excellent payload. No good for any of our Euro shopping trucks! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    You unscrew one then screw in the other. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    The #1 Arborist Forum, Bar, and Grill - Enjoy the buffet and libations! Look at the photos of how Bonner transports his Trolley. The best ideas are always the simplest eh!

    Looking at the recent posts on this thread it appears that no one else is interested except me (so thats a bit embarrassing). Anyway, I don't care and I thought I should update. I fired the RK a few times yesterday and I think the reason for it previously hitting the BS head is because when it's in the pouch, the tip rests on the pole and this means it is twisted upon release. It's because the RK is quite long. So, I found that by twisting the trigger a bit, the pouch is straighter and it misses the BS head. I'm ashamed to admit that I've been using my old throwbag during the last week and I was amazed at how often it gets stuck on twigs and in forks compared to the RK, which doesn't get stuck.

    Any conclusions yet Ian?

    I reckon I'll get the Kernmaster, unless anyone comes forward and says the Cougar Blue is much better. Having said that, I like my Poison HiVee because it's 11.7mm thick. fells nice and is quite easy to grip when I need to. I don't fancy a thinner rope for that reason. I quite like the idea of 55m of the HiVee Calamine. Probably end up getting the Kern. Santa is coming soon so you never know......

    Good on ya James. I've been using a 37m rope since I started SRTWP and it's long enough for 70% of the trees I do. I'd recommend the HH over the RW because it is easier to switch form DdRT to SRTWP and back again.

    They're both rubbish as they're 3.5t. I've got a Transit. 😂 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    What do you use to grease the bar sprocket? I've never been able to get the little plastic greaser to work. (The one that comes with Husky saws). Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Airstreams are the best selling boot apparently. It's personal preference though. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    After much to-ing and fro-ing with different types of hitch cord over the last few weeks, I used a new piece yesterday. This showed me that all the other bits were actually worn out! Oops. 😳 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    That GTR is money well spent. The only Land Rover product worth buying is an Overfinch Range Rover, IMO! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Serves him right for buying a Peugeot. My most hated car ever, after all Citroens. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Fair point. I'll get my coat.

    Sod BS3998! We're only interested in the Nissan. Are you gonna buy it and if so, let's see your video of it going too fast.

    Has anyone washed their Smock? If so, how did you do it, what did you use and is it still waterproof. Mine now smells worse than the toilets of Hades!

    You should keep quiet about owning a Smart Car. It's only fractionally better than a Fiat 500! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

    One observation that I forgot to mention is the amount of torque the saw has. Noticeably more than an MS200t. I noticed this when chogging down a Cypress and my groundie notice it too. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    I've never had a problem dialling in a hitch on the HH. It's just a case of finding the tension that's suits you. The rope cord / combo makes a difference as it does on a DdRT Hitch Climber. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Nice one Steve. What do you need one for? Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    I tried the Knut and loved it for a day. I just keep going back to the original VT without the T. I use 5 wraps. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
