Disc has the obvious advantage that the top cover pops up for easy blade adjustment while drum looks to be a real pain to sort out. RegC suggests that drums need extra sharp blades with the correct angle to pull the material in while disc are less fussy. I dont yet have a trailer or towbar so initially transport will be by a friends van, I will need to lift it myself, so weight could be important. I'm expecting to remove hopper, chute then possibly seperate engine from drum if needed for easy lifting. Comparing Rotatech's but I think its quite similar for the other import brands From 7 to 15hp the weight doubles, but the throughput hardly changes - I find that a bit odd!

At nearly 5k you would hope so too!

Full width chippers are not going to get into a back garden and chip where it can be left. This is more for small solo jobs where I can chip under the trees/hedge to leave it as mulch, as a way to deal with waste and keep my price affordable. For jobs big enough for a full size chipper and tipper to take it away, I'll quote extra to get somone in. I'm not ready for that expense yet.. I have a job like that mext week, I'm not getting very much of the quote but with a small chipper I could do it all myself. Whats the opinion on drum vs disc for these small machines? I"m thinking, if its all straight easy feeding stuff, then disc would be the clear winner, but drum has a much wider opening and will take twisted stuff better? I've never used the drum type..

What happened with this, did you return it, scrap it or keep and repair?

Yeah I have been reading that, 300 pages..!

I'm considering to get a small chipper, the style with a gx420 15hp engine. They look reasonably capable - if a pain to feed. There are some small ones with hydrualic feed but the price is a bit too much. Idea being on small jobs to chip into customers garden, save a lot of brash dragging/tipping.

Rotatech has you sorted. MORE... Theres also the disc chipper sort. They appear to have a smaller hopper blade and I assume are worse for tangled hedge cuttings/ivy. The drum sort appear to have a 14" wide blade so should gobble ivy with ease?

I'd have thought that those running the climbing comp would have a better understanding on equipment. The 12kN rating is no suprise, a device like this will slip long before it breaks. It may be the only way to break test with a rope is to tie a stopper knot which would jam against the frame of the device - at which point the links are slipping and doing nothing. Or to pull it directly at the top link against the swivel eye without a rope but thats not in any way realistic. These mechanical prussiks are not really covered adequately by the standards - and neither are actual prussik cords - they that go under EN795 Personal anchors and is intended for testing them as PPE slings. The tests have little related to its use as a friction cord.

From 1m20 shows how its done. Open the plate, move the links out of the way, hold the spring and swivel pulls out.

Looks not too bad just needs a bit of practise. In a video it looked nearly quick as a carabiner. I wouldnt like the extra length of a ring, carabiner and the swivel. Quite tempted, but no where has stock.

My andrews are 3 yrs old and the soles and foam are still good. I have heard good reviews about this place, they will do shoes and boots by post.

We all agree on that, does anyone cow hitch their 50m rigging line? You could attach a pulley to the eye and rig off a loop with the tail of the cow hitch, is perhaps the only use I can think for that. Not very common, I imagine? For that you wouldnt need or want the half hitch over the eye, so it becomes just a girth hitch.

Fancy hidden lock stitching for a low profile eye, perhaps a bad design decision and huge QC failure. Mistakes happen, most climbing companies have had a recall or two. Petzl have had many... Marlow Ropes issues urgent update over stitched splicing in one product WWW.FORESTRYJOURNAL.CO.UK Responding to recent speculation on social media about a possible fault with this, the manufacturer has reiterated that no other ropes in its range… It means the spliced ring I did last week is far from ideal, but I note that DB spliced rings are available to buy with the same rope. Anyway will only use for small stuff. Stein give the same splice rating with the ring and without so perhaps the difference is small..

Raining again here. Yesterday was only slightly damp, almost pleasant.

I phoned Marlow ropes technical department and learned some interesting detail (my rope is a Marlow Draco, so seemed the best choice). He gave a straight no regarding the idea that it helps with shock loading, but had an explaination that works for me. For a splice to give maximum strength, the splice throat angle should be small, that means the splice would be 3x or more, the size of the largest connector used in the eye - a very loose fit. He said with climbing lines, its a compromise, people like a tight eye and it meets the EN standard, its good enough but it is not the strongest. So, experienced riggers, what is the maximum size item that you would clip to a rigging rope? 70kN 12mm steel biners exist, so it still seems excessive.
