    When on DRT the HH works exactly the same as a HC setup but with the advantage of going straight to SRT with no adjustments.

    A 3.5t truck is the most rubbish Arb truck available. I should know, I've got one.

    Yeah but you're Northern so know one will understand you😂😂!

    Well done Silky but this is no surprise to any of us really. Anyone with the motivation and tenacity that you display will always end up on top of their game eventually, no matter what. I still think this thread should be used as career guidance in schools and colleges everywhere.

    It's just manufactured by ISC to keep production costs realistic.

    That's great news Paul. Show 'em this thread and they'll give you a promotion before you even start!

    No. I supplied the truck with steel tipping body. Solent then cut the steel off and built up from there with Ali planking.

    Mate, a HH is better IMO. It does DRT and SRT perfectly and is simply an improvement. Don't take my word for it though as mine won't arrive until later this week but take a look at the photos, consider the design and you'll see its the nuts. Read the 'Ropetek Hitch Hiker' thread on The Treehouse forum to learn more then email Ropetek to make payment 👍.

    My first tip would be to buy a Hitch Hiker and a Pantin. Away you go. Ask technique questions as soon as you get stuck and answers will be provided. You won't look back.
  12. Old Mill Tree Care
    What I meant is, why buy a gadget that does DRT only. I'd advise a Uni or HH as they do single and double rope perfectly.
  13. Old Mill Tree Care
    Get a 37m rope instead of 45m. Get a Pantin. Pulleysaver instead of the ART as its cheaper and does the same. Get a Hitch Hiker instead of a HC as it does the same job but better, will last a lot lot longer and if you ever decide to try SRT a HH will do it without modification.

    5 cubic meters on a Transit? That is one BIG risk you're taking!
  15. Old Mill Tree Care
    That's a very good price point! Having said that, I wonder if it will still be that price when it's really here.
  16. Old Mill Tree Care
    This thread is the ultimate CV Paul. You should have just emailed the guy this link.
  17. Old Mill Tree Care
    Ah yes, maybe the rope diameter is the reason the handle isn't working out too well for me.
  18. Old Mill Tree Care
    I've tried it on the left and right and it works on both. Just got to figure out where I'm most comfortable with it. It's All good though.
  19. Old Mill Tree Care
    Samson Velocity. I thinks that's 11.7mm, could be wrong.
  20. Old Mill Tree Care
    So after a few more climbs I still can't get the handle to work unless my full weight is on the lanyard in an SRT style with the cinch attached to my bridge. When its on my side Ds I just squeeze the Cinch and it works well. I really like it though.
  21. Old Mill Tree Care
    That looks good Dog Tag but way more frames than necessary so must be very heavy.
  22. Old Mill Tree Care
    What time of year did the decline occur?
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    That's correct.
  24. Old Mill Tree Care
    Sorry guys, I'm in a hurry and wondering what this is as I'm not 100%.
  25. Old Mill Tree Care
    Oh, is that chip box as heavy as it looks? It looks like a solid block of iron!
