As I said I’m having a period of relative calm with mine. I keep the rollers on 4.5 speed and keep the roller springs slack when the rollers are shut. I also had the shaft and rotor out and professionally rebalanced which solved a lot of vibration issues.

Well I doubt he’d sell it easily on here, that’s for sure!

Ahh, the good old days.

Ah, ok, sorry.

No pics here.

Lets the vid down a bit I agree.

Got an ST8, been a bit of a witch’s curse if I’m honest. Actually been running consistently well for a while now, which is tempting fate. As for your situation, if they keep fixing it there’s not much you can do unless you break out the big guns ie. demanding a replacement or reimbursement. As you have stated they’re very good at after sales stuff and generally helpful. If you’re going to get serious then the sooner you do it the better.

Ok, thanks, not fully understanding but it’ll become clear when I get it in my hands I suppose.

We reckoned about 500 kg, in that we had 400kg measurable and 1 fat bloke.

Ms 150 shaking starts well but judders at the tip.

Underrated post. -
Looks the business, pulling a crappy, soaking willow and rootball out off water takes some grunt, even with pulleys. I miss this set up (mini tractor and forestry winch) very fast and very poky, but wasn’t getting used so sold it.

Eder it is then.

I’m getting one of these for a felling job I have where machine access is impossible. Two questions for those who use or know about these. 1: Can they be used for assisted felling? They seem to be best at continuous pulling rather than pulling and holding like my old tractor winch. 2: What’s the best out there? Prepared to pay for the best. @aspenarb’s looks superb, but I think it’s home manufactured. TIA Mick

His first experience of a bean bag, he found it quite liberating, but a little undignified getting off.

Invest in good outdoor work clothes, buy a few pairs of gloves and always dry them every night. You can learn just watching the climber as well as just doing, it’s only been a few months, it takes time. Cant help you with the paperwork as I don’t do any. Good luck anyway!

@Steve Bullman I can’t post from Instagram with a picture or vid on the screen, all it shows is a link, which is less likely to get clicked and viewed. I just get a message saying link won’t embed so it’s going to be a link. It’s not that I’m really concerned but I do think that posting from Instagram is good as it doesn’t clog the timeline up with too many pictures, one good short vid and an arrow sideways to see more, if you choose. Oddly, I can do it on another forum so it’s possibly not my iPad.

Otherwise how’s it going? You enjoying it? What’s your favourite part?

What a load of bollocks. (Not you, the directive)

What’s the Hand-arm vibration log? If it’s what I suspect it is, it is counting the minutes individual employees spend whacking off behind the shed.

You only qualified in August, and were looking for a job as a trainee. Now it seems you’re employing people and filling in the forms. Quite the career curve.

Search for Forst Faults and Issues on FB, a group that specialise with this sort of thing.

Never used one, but they look pretty crappy. Especially as a 1.5 tonner is so cheap to hire.
