    You forgot to mention the spandex pink nickers.

    Last week 2 of my closest coworkers where visited. The first last Monday. A one year old vw transporter with all of his gear... The second last Thursday uninvited access into the shed. All saws and power tools gone.

    I don't cut my 50 inch diameter trees down with a zubat.

    The glasses in the cupboards start rumbling. "Ah, the arb is there to clean the fourteen hundred twigs they pruned out of the oaks in the backyard". Dragging two inch diameter brush for three hundred yards putting it in a two hundred hp chipper. :D :D

    I would love to see the faces of my customers.
  6. Treespotter
    Probably because you haven't tried one of these yet.

    Sigh... I have a propper chipper. This little one is gonna save me from a lot of dragging brush out of places that I can't reach with my 'propper' chipper. I bet you're pruning your jong trees with a stihl 880.

    Check your PM dig-dug-dan.

    Yup. GTM is made in the People's Republic of China. Made out of People's Republic of China material. And the Haecksler is made in Europe with European material except for the engine. That one is a Honda. But not a People's Republic of China Honda.

    I think there is a relation between those machines. Not a good one though. A run away engineer designed a new one fixing a couple of annoying features. Because the engine sits under the feeder there's no chips falling on the engine, you can place the machine closer to the trailer and the complete machine is shorter thus fitting nicely in the back of my double cabin van.

    Here's the little Gremlin I bought today.

    Wtf! Matt?

    You are right on that one. I stumbled over that one more than once today. But for now the convenience of having the working side closest by was way more appealing. Pulling up was all done in line with the setup. The pulling through of the tail was grabbing in a unusual place. And be honest. Don't you pull your line over a branch a bit most of the time to 'step over the edge'?

    Oeps sorry, my bad. I 'read' cut away as in cut a piece of rubber out of a big shot. We call those things quick draw slings.
  16. Treespotter
    That's not enough skyhuck! Don't climb on it like that. Either modify (you didn't hear that from me) or use an extra small sling between the two biners. There is really something serious wrong with the alloy and just a couple of big shot rubbers are not enough to keep you safe!
  17. Treespotter
    Changed things around today. Strange but I think I can get used to it. Grabbed a couple of times the wrong side but as I said, I can get used to it. Any thoughts?
  18. Treespotter
    That's true Dean. Sometimes you take things for granted while doing stuff in your shed and you don't realise that copying a picture could lead to the use of less suitable materials. Copying just like that could lead to fatalities!
  19. Treespotter
    I don't think it's srt safe. Your doubling the forces on something that was part of a flimsy thing in the first place.

    What the heck, by the time that MK2 arrives my HitchZag hybrid needs replacing anyway.
  21. Treespotter
    MK2 of the hybrid or the Zigzag. Enlighten us.
  22. Treespotter
    ditto!
  23. Treespotter
    I have used a 12.9 rated 5mm inbus bolt with a 3cm unthreaded shaft on the HitchZag not 8.8! For a video you can check my wolter kok boomonderzoek Facebook page. I used it as on the picture and that works great. Slack tending with zero friction. I don't think there is enough room between the shackle and roller in this setup.
  24. Treespotter
    BTW, I turned the Hitchzag the other way around. This way the lever on top is pointing out and is there no sharp bend where the rope goes over the pulley.
  25. Treespotter
    I really hope soon. This setup works so much smoother than the sharp an not lined up Petzl setup. Today the whole day a smile on my face from ear to ear.
