It's on a television advert too. Guinness? Specsavers?

My Hobbs has never moved when cranked hard (has a couple of times when not). It's got far better pointy bits on the frame. Would ideally like to pin the GRCS to the stem with some gurt lag screws too but there's nowhere very obvious to do that. I'll see how I get on with it with a mind to one day building a better one.

Well I don't mind a 170 or 180. 162 feels considerably cheaper. Didn't run the saw. Just on the shelf in a shop. Nose looks like a nose.

Him. Sailor. End of November. Two and a bit. Smashing chap. Likes hares.

Quality.

Find the post please because that's superb.

@eggsarascal Do keep up.

I like to think they started by just easing the bumper against the doors and worked up to ramming.

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.

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.
