    What about the mats, they used to have in school gyms?

    Sorry to hear of you splitter being robbed. To get a second line off the winch is easily enough to do, with a 3 way valve in the system some where handy, and a extra return to the tank, or t'ed into the existing one. The valve will have a handle or knob on it, one way oil flows to one the winch and that works as normal, the other way diverts the flow to splitter. Depending where you've fitted the t valve, if between the pump and winch valve, you would have to make sure both pipes where connected from the splitter, before turning the valve, other wise you will cause damage to the pump or blow a pipe on the rb. If after the winch valve just connect up, change the 3 way valve over and work the winch valve, wedge it open to work the splitter. I use a 3 way valve to divert oil from the crane to a hydraulic winch on my truck.

    I would hazard a guess, you've not cut any limbs off with it either.

    Hi Stubby, I tried to but a splitter like that a couple of years ago, and was told they had stopped selling them, something to do with ce marking or some thing. Looked a good idea splitting both ways - time saver. Got plans drawn up in my head to make my own now, just need to sieve them out from the rest of junk floating around in my head and get them into metal!

    Don't know if is to late or not, as some one said if you sign up to news letter, you get the vat free days quite regular, anyway, the is one on this evening, and Sunday in machine mart Chester.

    Hi jfc, here's the assessment schedules to have a read through, I`m guessing there still current, event though the course numbers have changed, the is plenty of trainers/assessors on here to put you right if not. http://www.nptc.org.uk/assets/documents/c6eb811f4dcb4ca68194d5ee8d98246f.pdf http://www.nptc.org.uk/assets/documents/aec9ca196e7849fa990cd7f22e0d36a7.pdf To help you on your course, learn basic knots, show in you tree climbers companion book, or on here at the top, prussic, bowline, blakes hitch, fishersmans, etc so you are confident to tying them, so not to waste time on your course doing knots.

    The power beyond, most common use is for a separate spool block for a loader, so cant see a problem for your winch set up. I have a remote control hydraulic winch, on my truck for loading non running plant, of if struggling for traction/or safety on ramps, which uses as treequip says just an open centre valve, OK the remote works air solenoids, which allow pressure moves the spool, but still the same effect, on or off. If I need a bit move control I just run the pto at a lower rpm, not perfect but acceptable for what is needed. If I need true proportional control I have to use to spool leaver manually.

    Fair enough. In my experience, new type ranger, first is low enough to start off with loaded trailer on a reasonable hill. We've got some good hills/poor roads here in north wales. Low range on most modern pick ups, would be the same as the centre diff locked on your land rover, not axle diff locks, but yes the manufactures wouldn't recommend driving for long distances in 4x4 on high grip surfaces. If your losing traction, loaded or towing, I cant see any harm coming to transmission using 4x4.
  11. Craig.
    In those circumstances you say, would cause no harm to a pick up transmission in 4x4 high or low, as any wind up would be released, When you say you have slippage, is that with the centre diff locked or unlocked? If it is locked the transmission will, in effect be the same set up as the pick up.

    A case of mistaken identity Jon. Sorry to derail your thread, Regards, Craig. (With the full stop)
  13. Craig.
    Here you go Paul, a picture present I said about. Got to play with this today, Must say, I was impressed with its performance.
  14. Craig.
    I`ll put a picture on your thread for you:lol: Regards Craig. (with the full stop):laugh1:
  15. Craig.
    Phewww, thought my account had been hacked or some thing then.
  16. Craig.
    Silky, just checked my PM outbox nothing to you?
  17. Craig.
    Hate mail??:confused1: I spoke to you in the APF, but have never sent you a PM, and I`m not on face book or like:confused1:
  18. Craig.
    Not the best picture sorry Jon, from yesterday morning but still pretty much the same.
  19. Craig.
    Most 4X4`s that are normally just rear wheel drive, don`t have a centre diff like a land rover, so when you use 4X4 its like a land rover with the centre diff locked, so you will get a certain amount of transmission wind up, if your using it on wet or slippy roads this will release some of the tension in the transmission. Using it in 4x4 for miles and miles on a high grip surface (dry roads / concrete) would make the wind up worse and possibly eventually cause damage. The steering pushing on, and ripping the ground is again just a effect of the transmission being in effect centre diff locked. If you find the transmission wound up and wont disengage back to 4x2, just backing up, or backing up on a bit of a lock releases the tension, and disengages. Don't know whether the dmax has a diff lock. I use my ranger in 4low if I need too, with no problems, some times it might take a minute to go back to 4 or 2 high.

    The temperature read -6 in pick up this morning on way to work. Been a nice clear day though. Still snow on ground here from boxing day, not much has melted, just froze solid. -1.5 outside now.
  21. Craig.
    Here you go Jon, Snow on the wing of the mog, about 4 inch now
  22. Craig.
    Been sticking since about half two, this afternoon. On the yard, and fields here, and looking out onto the lane out side the yard are white now, looks a couple of inches settled. Any thing down there you?
  23. Craig.
    Hi Jon, a good frost this morning, and been snowing here in north wales, since just after lunch, sticking well for the last couple of hours.
  24. Craig.
    Link for you, dunsley baker neutralizer link-up system
  25. Craig.
    We have the same as this, a dunsley neutraliser, they come in different shapes to suit where you want to fit them, and allow a few different heat sources to be used without back feeding into each other, they (the heat sources) can be used separately or together.
