Depends on the size of the chipper and the price, what sort of thing you looking at and at what budget?
-
Thanks, will do, my biggest problem is forgetting I have a blooming great box on the back. It's taken a bit of a bashing.
-
31, so not crazy but by the end of the week I've had enough, nothing booked so didn't bring anything forward.
-
So far so good, not working as it's too hot. Ran some errands this morning, blade sharpeners, accountants, bank, that sort of thing. Sat down in front of the tv watching the cricket. That's living all right!
-
Yeah ok.
-
Read the thread Johny. You know, the words, the key is in the words.
-
Who is your question adressed to?

If it was your intentention to hurt me, you've succeeded. In search for that quote on this film I happened across this, so apropos of nothing, watch this. [ame] [/ame]

[ame] [/ame] Ha ha.

I usually only use it for attaching the friction device these days. I find it suits Lombardies particularly well, the tops sail down very slowly, low stress, runs nice. Id be reluctant to use it in a high risk rig, I do have pulleys and stuff.

It's lasted longer than Matty's safebloc anyway!

Below the hinge or on the edges of the gob?

Dost thou not loler?

I don't always use crotches Mark, this was state of the art in '94 Used a couple of weeks ago on a Lombardy.

Sure, money is tight, trees are an easy thing to delay, trees don't storm council offices or vote. It's the new reality though. Maybe the idea of residents associations who maintain their own trees (which add to their environment and house value) is not so far fetched.

You could pollard every 7/8 years and it would not cost double what a 3/5 year pollard would cost. Sure they'd be increased risk, but a more stringent felling program for anything remotely dodgy could alleviate that.

Great pictures of some young'uns learning skills that will serve them well. Takes me back to my college days and the excitement of climbing, saws and all that. -
Surely the balance on the two axels is important, plus the height of the tow hitch. I've towed a digger with the Ranger (only 1.5 tonne plus buckets admittedly) been in all sorts of trouble, moved it backward or forward and it pulls like a dream.
-
Seriously? You can't imagine? Bit bigger I'm guessing:001_smile:
-
Will do. (Would have done anyway) I like to understand this stuff, or at least try to.
-
So does it reduce weight on the rigging point? Edit, Sorry just seen Matty's post and trying to figure it out.
-
Could you use some heavy duty zip ties to lock it in place better?
-
Like so many things, it depends. If, like my job today, you're removing wood and branches from a garden, no damage allowed, plus loading trucks and trailers then an articulated wheeled loader is ideal. If your worksite is not sensitive a skidsteer is ok (but not as good as a wheeled loader!)
-
Not a lot really, empty boast.
