Wordle 1,013 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Absolute fluke, probably give up now! On reflection, I’m sort of disappointed now, no skill and I don’t even get to play it. I did blurt the answer out to my wife, so I ruined it for her as well. So there was some pleasure from it.

I use polypropylene three strand for lighter rigging. Low abrasion, no glazing, light and cheap. Its insane that it’s not ok. I have no idea what that knot is btw.

Three posts on the bounce justifying yourself. Sounds like the only person you’re trying to convince is you!
-
How’s that working out for you?
-
Is the Loler inspector correct in this? Any other inspectors can confirm that you cannot use this stuff?
-
Hell of a thing that. Imagine driving over at the time, unthinkable.

Wordle 1,011 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Today I started badly, had the luxury of leaving it and coming back as I cancelled work cos of the rain. The Sally one from yesterday was odd, you either knew the word or you didn’t.

Ask about Voltarol, really helped me with acute pain. Sorry to hear of your fall, fell on my arse today dragging branches backwards. Going down I thought ‘this could be bad’ luckily no harm done. We’re not 18 anymore!
-
What painkillers are you on? Voltarol was very effective I found in similar circumstances.

Wordle 1,010 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Happy with that, 1 yellows starts are always a challenge.

I’ll clarify. I’ve nothing against other 3.5 tonne tippers. However since 2001 I’ve had only 3 transits, they’ve run around, usually a fair bit overloaded, pulling a chipper, got me there, got me back, almost never let me down, reasonable economy. They have been my most consistent moneymaker. I just don’t know how I could improve on them with anything more powerful or more comfortable.

I’ve no issues with the power, plenty enough, not discernibly more than the 2.4 but you don’t have to work the gears as much if you know what I mean. Long term reliability…I dunno, only done 3k, but there’s a warranty so fingers crossed.

Then it’s much of a muchness. I’ve been pulling it backwards for many years, I know what you mean about the snagging though.
-
Is it cos the worm drive that turns the oil pump only turns one way? Dunno really, just speculation.

Running a tranny here, 3rd one in 24 years, reliable and cheap to run. love them.

Actually those are some pretty good observations. The ram does look rubbish.

I’ve been to Belgium for a rotating grapple, near the Italian border for a Schliesing chipper and Durham for a Land Rover. I’ve driven across the country to look at equipment, stayed in a hotel overnight, decided against it and driven back empty handed. Go and have a look at it (the vehicle itself) look at the work they do there and then make your mind up.

Every days a school day.

There’s more than an element of luck in a 2.

Wordle 1009 4/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 About par for me. Pleased with my patience and thought processes.

How very sad!

I’m afraid he’s gone metastatic.

Did you see how on March 7th the Whitehouse warned the Kremlin of intelligence about an imminent terrorist attack on a concert or similar which Putin described as meddling and propaganda?
