460 here direct from predator. Couple of minor niggles but excellent service and a well built machine
-
Any plans for a tracked version of the cs100 from Greenmech? Italian stuff will soon have import duty on it:lol: Looks like a handy bit of kit and we run a 8" machine
-
So your asking a uninsured, unqualified mate to drop your mums tree? The next thread will be about making the industry looked at better by the public or complaining about some ***** pinching there job and that's with out handing out invertations Ffs
-
:lol: Friend of the family is milk n 2, next week your mate will be in to help you: out Any one else, most of you are to cheap in my humble, by the time you have got there done it packed up, got to the next job and unpacked the gear again you have lost 2+ hours so at £70 your working for £30 -£35/hour for a fully kitted out tree team inc insurance labour gear etc work out your overheads and tell me you can earn on that (unless you have 7 or more in a row for the day inside a couple of miles)

It's free to tax a tractor so no major drama if you need to

Petrol v diesel long and short term costs...
Will C replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Large equipment
Bigger chipper means less snedding and less conifer timber left. The difference in fuel to tow extra 1/4 or 1/2 ton is more than made up for in my opinion. -
Food for thought. Once again Reg you have made a good number of people think about what they do. We all have our own bad habits, to be made to think about them is only a good thing, keep at it sir. I've had a close one single handed but still do it, just now with a lot more respect for the machine and more fore thought of do I need to?

Will C replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Large equipment
Petrol is a no go until we have access to it on the same terms as red diesel -
I agree with you on that mick. Evan worse is if one of the team doesn't stop pacing up n down. My other pet hate is facebook etc when working. Nowt against phones in moderation but going off every 10seconds because some one farted or made a sandwich is just beyond me:thumbdown:
-
It helps we have put 2 in before to pull back in a triangle on really unsteady ones
-
I've never used props, never Evan given it a thought but can see its use. We use a throw line to instal a good line (old 19mm rigging line last time - well it was old and retired afterwards ) then hook the tirfor to that to hold it up. We have anchored the winch to anything available from diggers, the truck to trees or Evan a ground anchor if nothing else is available.

Your on to some thing there "Lumber Camp"
-
This is true but what ever level you are at their will always bee some one cheaper, weave all bin their. Wheel sea one day prices may rise. Isle bee off now:laugh1:

A shortage of climbers? NO A shortage of good climbers? Yes very much so

She is currently using the Buckingham ergovation light. She wanted the non light version as like the difference in the tree motion the non light version is a little more user friendly but we couldn't find one in this country. The chest harness is over come able and not really a biggy Good luck getting the ladies corner noticed
-
Try this
-
I think your right, every one is a different shape, one of our subies hates the tree motion but I find it bang on, its all about finding the right kit to suit your size/shape/climbing style
-
I've got a 2005 canter. Forgetting legal weights it carries far more than the cabstar a friend has got (similar age) before it looks wrong and does so faster towing a st8 than the cabstar does dragging a 750kg timber wolf Mines done 115k ish and used about half a pint of oil between the last services and pulls well. Only gripe is the canter is a rough ride empty and a little heavy to start with. Parts are a little more than some trucks but on the flip side not much falls off, I reckon our parts bill halved compared to a transit
-
My good lady climbs in a Buckingham ergovation light - the non light isn't available with a ce mark (I will prob be corrected but we couldn't find one). The tree motion harness doesn't work for her at all, it hurts her hips big style, Sam says it doesn't fit ladies with a shape Breath flex trousers are the best sam has found but she says a higher cut waist would be nice Another challenge is the chest harness for srt doesn't fit over her ample pair the lanyard over shoulder trick works for assent but not for working on srt. Hope that helps you. It's good people are starting to take notice of the girls in our industry,

That makes sense but if I can't get the supply for the larger welder(32amp supply) fitted there's no point buying it when it will do the same output as the smaller one on the same (16amp supply) I might as well save the extra £ on the larger welder if I can't ever use the top end of its capibilitys
-
Now that's an idea, the tig isn't a issue, I can use one but haven't had the need for one since the last time. Mig and arc are the important bits to me. I will have a look and see what I can find. I don't need all singing n dancing but would rather buy quality than twice. Cheers Bob.
-
The r tech one goes to 30 amp, that should do body work. I will look up portamig, till the sparky says what he can do it's still a open race:laugh1:
-
No point buying it to only use half of it if I can't get a 32 amp supply I might as well buy the 180 amp one and be able to use all of its power, prob arrive at the same output amps roughly for less money and with out the chance of someone else turning it up and frying the electrics in the workshop or am I missing something? Electrics are black magic to me, any thing else I can get my head round but much more than bulbs or a plug I call in the sparky:blushing:
-
Cheers every one. Will speak to the sparky about the 32 amp feed before deciding on size but I think the r tech 250 amp inverter mig fits my needs nicely. Hopefully the electrics won't be a prob.
