  1. This is the second release lever I have snapped. Has anyone had anyluck removing the snapped pins that go into the body as they seem to get stuck. Last time I had to replace the body itself. I love the sj but its stsrting to get expensive replacing bits.
  2. is anyone using a logsplitter with there mini loader?
  3. I got ya! Like you say it was probably about to happen, It sounds like its fairly common on the t540. Oh well will just have to get the almost new 200t out and stop using curry sauce for bar oil ?
  4. Chap I work for had 25l from local agricultural supplier's which I have been using. This stuff is very orange and looks like its been mixed with the spice turmeric!! It shows up on the chain, bar and clutch cover and sort of stains! Now I have noticed my t540 leaking oil from the crankcase! Be this a coincidence or not I have my suspicions that this oil is doing the saws no good.. Any one had this??
  5. Im assuming you wouldn't get this if you had a business partner?!
  6. And a pair of spikes
  7. Bring ya big shot and some eggs
  8. Just picked up isc stryder and its crap! The strap sticks out abit and stops rope from feeding through. Go for the CT, its cheaper, smaller and smoother!
  9. Tis a bit bouncy! good double line though.
  10. Nice one Nathan. Although factory e2e's are neater I find just getting a couple of meters of hitch cord and figuring out the length that suits you and the knot your using best.
  11. Game changer!
  12. Where abouts in Remuera? I lived in Newmarket for 6months, cant quite picture where that is.
  13. It's at the bottom of the tree out of the way! 5m!
  14. If neither Skyhuck or Thetoolnut have them off of you, I certainly will mate.
  15. Teufelberger have recently bought out 2 new climbing lines, I've actually got both and really rate the Drenaline for both ddrt and srt.
  16. Hard to say with out seeing pics but maybe rig off as much as your anchor point can take and tag line pieces out the wet? Then get in a boat to clean the bits n pieces out.
  17. Hanging from one line 'looks' more dangerous than hanging from two (DdRT) As you say it makes no difference as there both still a single line. Cut either running or terminated part and your going down. The point you make, to me illustrates how someone with no actual climbing experience could see srt as looking more dangerous than a doubled rope system.
  18. when it comes to touchy insurance stipulations I can see the boss sticking with a firm no at the moment. Recon I'll hang on for a minute until I hear from others in the same situation before asking questions.
  19. couldn't agree more mate. I can walk up a line 20 meters without breaking a sweat whereas someone else hip thrusting 20m will eventually have a heart attack. So then they will have to be rescued. What would be quicker in a rescue, double line or running up a static line to the casualty? I know which one I would go for!
  20. That's interesting what you've said there. To me it seems the suits behind the red tape are looking to pick on something in our industry. And a ticket to show that you can climb single line is gunna make governing bodies more money!
  21. I'm going on strike!
  22. very interested to hear from any one else in the same situation as I'm sure this has surprised a few people, as it did me!
  23. Have been asked not to climb single line on all of there sites which as I'm sure you'll agree is rather irritating! From what I hear there is no certified qual for it so using it on site will not be covered under insurance.
  24. As an Employee are you aloud to climb single line for the company that you work for and I don't mean just for access, cutting as well. Cheers all
