Good work! Once you've got over the initial apprehension, learn the sequence and trust the gear blocking down is actually pretty fun
-
Wrong photo, this was actually the first one that came out how i wanted it too, this time in 14mm sirius bull rope, quite addictive this splicing malarky, fast running out of things to splice!
-
My first splice…well sort of, the first couple may not have come out quite so well! 12mm sirius bull rope. ArborTricks: My first splice... The wonders of arbtalk and youtube.
-
Yep, that was a good video, well paced, nice bit of back story and not too long, cracking song as well. would like to have a go with those x rings at some point.
-
To be honest not really, The new blog is more about my own enjoyment and sharing my experiences with arb and the related kit than trying to raise any sort of business for myself, but a link between the two probably wouldn't go amiss, thanks
-
They may well do but unfortunately I'm in london and the saw is in shropshire, I'll check next time I'm back unless someone else gets in first with the numbers. theres a few bits you need as its the numbers either side, the roller chain catcher and the fixings. does look mean though any body know about that wrap handle?
-
Yeah I think they are the same
-
Cheers! Trying to do at least 2-3 updates per week
-
Can't seem to find them sorry, thought I had them written down somewhere...
-
Got them from my local dealer, was a bit of a faff getting the right part numbers, I'll see if I can dig them out for you, you do loose a couple of inches of bar length but mine mostly lives with the 25 on it so no big loss
-
Thanks!
-
I've got the extended bumpers on my 461 and they make it a different animal! Need to get one of those wrap handles, can you buy one without the rest of the rescue conversion kit?
-
So I've kept a blog of my tree work escapades for a few years now, mostly in a shameless effort of self promotion for my business and recently decided to start another, this time concentrating more on the equipment/technical side of arb. basically I'm a massive gear freak and wanted to write about the sort of stuff that interests me. Its a mix of reviews, a few tips and tricks and a few other things I've been working on. I wanted to get a good amount of posts on there before I unleashed it on the world of arbtalk. So if you like looking at shiny metal things please take a look: ArborTricks I welcome any feedback…
-
Any idea of payload on it? Also who made the box?
-
Rakes always seem to be the thing left on site, if we ever have spares they seem to vanish within days!
-
Holly is also good
-
I've got a few britool socket sets that I really rate, I think teng are a bit over rated and the cases are pants. Jtech (axminsters tools own brand) are pretty good for spanners and pliers ect... Reasonable priced and have lasted well so far.
-
There's nothing common about sense ...
-
Thought it might be, got quite a distinctive look about it. To be honest I was half tempted with it, the galv chassis is a big selling point! But the lack of tool storage put me off, I've gone down the route of having a 130 overhauled with a new tipping bed instead, a lot more money but will hopefully pay off in the end. Will post some pics when it's all finished.
-
Think that's on a 100in chassis, been kicking round on eBay etc for a while if I'm not mistaken?
-
Who's got one on their defender tipper? What do you use it for and what size have you got? Ladder or no ladder? Does anyone keep their spare wheel on one? Pics are always good! Cheers
-
Cheers for the pics, hard to see the set up from other pics, looks ideal. Like I said its not the main storage, just added extra for odds and ends
-
Cheers for that, I appreciate the effort, currently having a 130 built with tipper and been quoted £100 per side for the plastic underbody boxes and just wanted to way up a few options
-
Have you got any close ups of yours? What sort of money were they?
-
What sort of stuff can you fit in it? Could you fit a combi can in there?
