Part of the joy of a van is having a place at knee height to sort stuff out and the ability to get changed in the dry.
-
I say SWB low roof would do but sixty seconds later I'm now thinking taking a small/half empty vehicle is just wasteful when I could have space for ground protection mats or something instead. It's all outlook. Do you want to provide the maximum you can provide or just be a happy medium?
-
It's particular to your circumstances. If you're only ever going to take a climbing kit and top handle, then yeah, whatever car and a trailer for wood. People carriers are a bit taller, which is nice. At the other end of the scale is that bloke in the converted fire engine with thirty saws on board and god knows what else. I've just about outgrown a MWB high roof van but only because I preserve bed space and skidsteer space in there. As a pure tool van, SWB low roof would be fine. 3.5 saws plus spare bars, 3.5 climbing systems plus spare stuff, 3.5 rigging systems plus spare stuff, Hobbs, GRCS, petrol capstan, tool bag, 20 litres Motomix, 20 litres unleaded, probably a can of unleaded mix, axes, poles, bag of tongs, wedges, tape etc. Lot of tat and I still have to fit my dog and my ego in the cab.

As it happens I'd rather have a Smartwinch. But as it happens I do have a GRCS and want a visor plate for it.

Guarding me in the workshop.

White wine is just white wine.

Handled a 162 today. Horrible.
-
And since it's on the subject of mounting a GRCS for removals rather than pruning, has anyone got any tips for solid mounting? I'm thinking along the lines of taking the rubber feet off and replacing them with spikes.
-
Before I suffer the indignity of buying new, does anyone have one of these for sale? https://treetools.co.nz/rigging/rigging-parts/grcs-visor-plate

I'd climb it. I will climb it if you pay me.

Just hang them. Stubby gets that.

But here's one if we don't. IMG_2956.MOV

Decisive! Good luck. I was working for one of my oldest (time, not age) clients yesterday. I started for him when he was 25 ish and was instantly impressed with his chutzpah. Not sure how but you remind me of him. Go and do great deeds.

Boiler removal- Herald Hunter.

So you want an insulated burn chamber in which a fuelair mix burns for 1.5 seconds and then collect heat from the flue root or somewhere? -

Is recovering heat from exhaust better? -
I'm pretty sure I thought up a way round it before finishing my last sentence.
-
They'll find a way round it.

I did a very similar site a week or two ago. Two oaks, both 3-4' DBH, healthy and nice. Ring barked at 08:00 on a Saturday morning and shredded from a MEWP over the weekend along with umpteen other trees. Stern looks from passing busybodies, no doubt making calls to local authority phones that rang and rang until Monday morning. By then there were no trees to protect. All because it would have been something for objectors to get their hooks into. My client liked them and would have kept them but has a business to run and he knows the Sarahsmiles of this world would try to have control of his property taken from him.

IMG_2939.MOV Best regards.

I asked in a quite open minded manner but if you want to be like that, be like that. Anyway. This is what I did today. Six houses going in. IMG_2932.MOV IMG_2936.MOV

My mistake. Didn't realise they clicked. I thought they were just a slicker guide plate. Your holiness restored.
-
No clicking pulleys. For shame. Wanted a load cell for ages. Bought a GRCS recently. Want one even more now.
-
Yes. It's a disgrace.
-
Anyway. Hoping to hear from Sarahsmile. She apparently thinks seventy million taxvictims should be paying a tree officer and council hierarchy to be there so she can tell her neighbour he can't cut down his tree if he wants to. I'm interested in her justification. I can only assume she's very, very important.
