ok thank that a little bit more info couple of other pic's 1 from other side and 1 looking down shaft and curve in "base" plate weight is 14kg could be used by putting shackle in end of bar with chain or rope , you would want the item your pulling to come over or out /be free wouldnt like to try n take another bight at it or release the bar under load
-
Just looked 1 up Spray it purple-ish and would look just like my Ferris 36 hydrowalk

Evening btggaz, I know the sort of thing you mean and no cant cant see any thing like that, theres a hole in the end of the toothed bar(for shackle/ another chain I gues) the weight of it, you would want it resting on something by the time you got to top strand. Not a light thing. tnx reply
-
as per-norm send mail then remeber something else in the close up pic there a spring loaded section just abouve the word Parsons you lift that to release toothed bar

Evening all sometime (well about 7-8yr) ago was given a Parsons (thats whats on the side of it) hand winch/tirfor, can see how I would use, but thought I would check in case its not the way... Had a L/R with capstain winch for a while and used "normal" wire tirfors plenty of times yrs ago The base/frame on this has a slight curve in it , you cant shorten the chain by putting different link in hole as its not recessed enough. No idea on rating only writing is Parsons C140 (yes I know ratchet/bars in the wrong way, took pic;s put it way then saw, but you get the jist if it)

Hi all thanks dave28 ref beech always been ok even the twisted & knotted in stuff like in some other pic's I have on here somewhere (I think anyway) that all went down fine, the Laurel 1 I did that went fine as well, surprised. HS well ref Henstridge once you had walked through the shin deep water over the field to ya peg it was ok, as it only came up to ankles along the hedge , and yes it P***d down. no placing this time around:thumbdown:. luck of the draw. Matt path up the side of Brewers Arms heading towards either Rew lane or on up to main Dorch/Bridport rd. Had web page refreshed/up dated, just got to figure out how to drive it now many thanks Damon, [email protected] -

Whats your moto, or go to quote?
Dorset Hedgelayer replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
Always liked this 1 Mark Twain...Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. or for me own work "lay it dont top it" :0) -
