I was saying the other day how Tesco mobile phone shops are great and the people who work in them saints for spending entire days teaching the elderly to use iphones. So anyway. If the rattles and dummies don't work out...

I was going to write, "If in doubt, do nowt." Then I got to the second and third pictures. Bloody hell. They do look threatening. Has anything happened to the ground on the lifting side of the root plates?

Whatever that is in the photo, pulling in line as much as possible so as not to vector it - 125kg Then vector pulled it by pulling sideways - 160kg Also reset it higher to vector pull it by sitting on the rope - 170kg ——— No photo of a truckers’ hitch. I couldn’t remember the neat way to do it with the the overlapping hand wraps and couldn’t bear the shame of Mick shaking his head at the slipknot I used instead. ——— Same rope, truckers’ hitch - 50kg Vector pulled that too (sitting on rope) - 170kg

Guy. Keep posting please.I ****************ing love hedges.

Even worse I'm afraid. I'm an arb.

https://www.ropelab.com.au/bring-back-the-oval/ As if by magic, I now get to this in my long stretch of open tabs to read.

I’ll come back to this thread the next time I’m five hours into a six hour drive to sleep in a van, shit in a Tesco and climb a tree with a 661 dragging on my kidney. I suspect I won’t be especially sympathetic to someone who only has to grease a machine and then struggle with some really heavy joysticks for a fixed length shift.

I had to look it up. The M25 was started in 1975. Wikipedia says it was finished in 1986 but that’s not what I saw crawling round it the other week.

For racking wires or whatever, I can't think of anything worse, I'd be opening the wrong end 110% of the time.

November 1945. No M25, no Heathrow, no VAT.

Thanks, Getafix. Anyway. Can you see anywhere you’ve scrumped apples from on this map?

Side topic. What are oval biners even for? I had to paint the opening ends of mine the other day after getting so annoyed trying to open the ****************ers.

What do you want; royalties?

Just took it apart, cleaned it and put it back together. You have to clock the oiler so the hole in it, not the slot, lines up with the hole in the plastic saw body. See the notch/slot end opposite it in this picture. You also have to press it in to the correct depth so the aforementioned holes line up. I did some clever measuring and set a nut as a depth stop. Anyway. That didn’t work because I clearly measured something wrongly so I just pushed it the whole way and it works now.

Same cost as a bottle of supermarket cider every night instead. That's no coincidence.

A mate was telling me about a new bloke he's just found who sorts out his back. "£40. Nothing seedy." Considering the word 'bloke,' I'd hope not.

@peds Ever tried collar on one, harness on another to balance an imbalance?
-
For me, no different most of the time. Occasionally glitchy and slow but I'm on gash internet here so wouldn't lay the blame confidently at your door.

Sorry. It's often that I'm talking about the same thing across several threads, which will be confusing I grant you. In this instance, it's just testing a splice I made up the page here. I used a ratchet strap to pull it. I pulled it to 800 ish kilos. Someone told me they've managed to pull 1000 ish kilos with a ratchet strap. I think the reason I wasn't able to pull quite as much as them is that I had several wraps on the ratchet strap axle, increasing its effective radius, which decreases its pulling power.

I'm very seriously asking myself whether arbtalk is still worth what I pay for it.
