You did just say swivels are fairly pointless?
When the bloody chain links get torqued laterally in a direction they can't go? They fracture and fail at the most highly leveraged points.
All that's required to solve that problem permanently is the addition of a second swivel at the chain attachment point to the body plates. The chain will still function as intended, and the entire system more pliant to a rope's natural lay.
Try and operate a crane without a bloody swivel on the hook.
If you're going to get high tech, then double up on the swivel points already.
Jomoco
Why do you keep saying "bloody" when you from California Jomoco? That's funny. My 25 ton National crane has no swivel in the headache ball and it has anti spin cable that goes with it....mate.
I too would like to know specifically if all or most of the cracks have been in the same place and where that is. I asked a rep a couple of weeks ago and got no clear answer. I climb on mine every day and have 2 of them and had the ZZ1 since invented and would have kept it and not lost a minute of sleep climbing every day on it like I do on my ZZ2's. I climb DRT and use 2 ropes (hence 2 ZZ's) in large decurrent trees.
ps... ^ is that rep sayin it is those damn fatso americans breaking them all?

That and when you are going past a horizontal limb and the zigzag is sitting hard against it under your weight.
....past any limb or stem....I agree and if the links are not in the flex position. Be difficult to get your weight off it fast enough if you did not notice it.
Like hyper extending a knee or elbow etc and getting an injury.

I am also in the state of Ohio as is DandD75. The infestation is approximately 30 miles from my town. They have been clear cutting in the area of infestation and like mentioned by waz44 an expected outcry from residents has become quite newsworthy. I had heard that a group of citizens had banded together to sue for an injunction on the cutting without permission and think this is in limbo currently.
My town is heavily infested with Emerald ash borer and being more treatable we are either removing dead ash or treating them on a daily basis. Unwelcome income as the whole situation is quite tragic, ash composing approximately 20% of the urban forest. If or when the ALB works it way here one will be hard pressed to find replacement trees that are not on the predators' menu.

We don't use the 600 lb log lift much as it slows things down.

Big lumps of timber, I assume they are being burnt in a heating boiler rather than a stove.
When you get the skip of timber to the end user how do you unload it?, perhaps this is just an odd skip for your own use.

I think you are referring to what we call a bin. If so, we split, run it up the conveyor sometimes right into the truck, bin or on the ground. This is just typical firewood/stovewood (may appear to be bigger lumps than they actually are) we sell in a half cord load and drive to the buyer's driveway and dump it where they want it. They take it from there.
I was on an Ozzy forum for a couple of years a while back and I am sure I am speaking in foreign terms to you. Firewood is difficult to easily move from the loading aspect. If I had a large firewood business I would load it all with conveyors but we just do it as a side venture and make money working on trees. Also heat my home with firewood in a furnace into ducts with the heat from a blower.

I love that box you made. I have an 87 Hi lux that I absolutely adore. May become a copycat.

Stihl Rollomatic E Mini, 12"...comes to sort or a point relatively speaking. Best saw I have ever owned for pruning, very surgical. Like a motorized handsaw weight wise and manuevering. Had mine slightly modded, pull the limiters, open the muff, advance the timing. As for the chain...imagine there are some options there. I adore this saw, my second one, first was stolen, couldn't live without and do some pretty big td's with it.
