That's getting close...

That's because you use it for forestry not climbing, we've seen the pictures.

Boring but reliable ...... 150 Never changed any plastic covers on it. Maybe it's a Toyota Auris.

I've never had a Unicender in my hand but I believe they have a set of C shapes bit like this to make it midline attachable - so it's possible to not have this break, Petzl just didn't manage it.

Ask logs and saws, he does Husqvarna saws. https://logsandsaws.co.uk/

I just use biner, and the ring on saw strop. Ringing down a stem I don't pull it up and down very often so this doesn't upset me. Saw the ring, feather throttle to keep cutting in through in one. Leave that log where it is, saw half way to next ring and leave the saw there. Now push off top ring, step down on stem, move lanyard so you have room for another cut. Repeat.

Kind of review for tracked wood chipper SZ130
Dan Maynard replied to covex's topic in Large equipment
You don't need to convince me on the mini chipper, I bought an approximately 10 year old JoBeau M500 about 8 years ago for £3k. Blades, belts, bearings, little bit of weld, some yellow paint, still chips like a champ. I can see the attraction of cheap Chinese, I have a cheap stump grinder but the main reason that doesn't break very often is that I hardly use it. -
Lot less than blackbird though.

Dangerous Trees on "Unclaimed" Land (Scotland)
Dan Maynard replied to BofA.Trees's topic in Trees and the Law
My opinion is you can't make a proper assessment from photos, you need someone qualified to have a look and write a report. Some opinions off the internet won't sway the council anyway. -
Kind of review for tracked wood chipper SZ130
Dan Maynard replied to covex's topic in Large equipment
It's completely crap either way? Otherwise would be the only chipper in the world where doubling hp makes no difference. -
But the Germans would point out you are far outside the range of recommended bar lengths of 28, 36"
-
Other good thing about biner is it's multi-purpose.

Where's @manco ? Theres not mush - room on that sofa.....

felling Echo Cs-621sx gunsights not aligned

Isolating like this is sometimes called double bagging, because you can clip two throwbags together for the extra weight.
-
I've been wearing Solidur from Chris Forestry, deeper pockets and better zips than the pfanners. On sale at the moment too.
-
Is it possible the trigger mechanism is a little bit sticky? So trigger not quite returning all the way?
-
I think that could sound like a good idea unless you've done much running ropes. We don't want constant deceleration, we need to drop below the climber and then stop before the shed, or slow while it's swinging and drop on the ground in the right place. On the other hand I guess something which is completely predictable could be good if you have a novice on the ropes, then as climber it's not ideal but you can plan around it because you know what'll happen.
-
Can't think of any. Rope moving along carries heat away, anything mechanical is a complication and potential failure point, need for maintenance etc. How would you control a mechanical brake? I think rope friction just wins on simple and effective. Only real problem is potential for riding turns but that can be managed.

Plus, big biscuits can bounce once then roll right across the road and hit the barn wall opposite. Apparently.

Id ring L&S, they will get in stuff from Makita even if not listed on their website.

Lime is good firewood, easy split. Bit light like willow when dry but burns just fine.
-
I thought that but it's girth so roughly divide by 3 for DBH.
-
I have cover for the Landrover as an option with the insurance, lot cheaper than a year of AA and AA/RAC were funny about old vehicles. Luckily haven't tested the quality of service.

In the car world fuel injection took over from carbs because of efficient combustion over a wide range of operating conditions, really hard to run a catalytic converter without it. Also makes it easier to balance across the cylinders, than multi -barrel carbs or twin carbs. It is still just mixing fuel and air, little bit less resistance to flow maybe but power is determined fundamentally by cylinder capacity, compression ratio. I don't think chainsaws have the same wide range of conditions as car engines, hence no overwhelming case for injection. Yes you can get super fast acceleration, but I think it's jamming 80cc in a 461 chassis that makes the 500i seem good, same as jamming 67cc into a 362 case makes the 400 a good saw to use.
