I replaced mine when it started showing visible cracking. I still think back to a friend in highschool who was using a bungee for sprint training at track practice (2 waist belts...on person stands still, other walks backwards to tighten it and it forces to run faster). Band snapped. Knocked...
A) A bigger binder will fit in the "OK" setup of the instructions. Not sure how big...the Am'D fits, but not much spare room for a bigger one to have wiggle room.
B) They advertise that the swivel can go straight onto your bridge, so I'd think any regular attachment would be OK...but how are...
I thought so too.
If the argument is it is safe because they are opposite/opposing that doesn't make a lot of sense because then you only have 1 on the eye of the rope above ...you could have as many as you want on the bridge but I'd it comes outta the eye, you are cooked.
Literature says opening is 26.8" × 24.4" - but obviously that is at the widest end.
I took a quick pic of the inside, but it didn't turn out well - probably moved a little. I'm assuming the height is close to 7" so width is about double that.
Edit: I'm sure the folks at miniloaders.com...
I might have found the answer with more digging, but still open to opinions....
This is a pic of the device (from Arbsession but probably an ISC supplied pic as I saw it a couple other places too):
That looks to be an ISC Compact Oval...right?
I didn't climb anything today, but threw a rope over the rafters to play with it for a moment...initial reaction:
Tends a little better than the Unicender but not as smooth as the Zig-zag. I think descent is going to be nice on this.
Anybody use it for MRS? Did you put a carabiner in the top hole or back? Instructions say that top is recommended/optimal... Video posted above by Rico that somebody shot at TCIA the ISC rep says it tends better in top hole.
Why do I ask? It's a small hole. What biner fits that? Am'D...
Saw this at the Mini Loader booth at Ohio Tree Care Conference:

I think he said $40K-ish? but I didn't write it down, so that's not a quote!
Don't know anything else about it...not a chipper expert, by any means. Just...
Picked up Reflex today...Forrest Lytle offered 10% trade show discount at Ohio Tree Care conference so I took their last one. Hopefully some climbing weather next week!
Thanks!
I couldn't find any documentation with that pic.
Since it's not listed as an option, I bet my machine doesn't have the necessary accumulator so it won't work.
Guess the only way to know is to throw abot 1500 lbs on a pallet and hit some bumps at full speed to see how that goes.
That's what I initially thought of the switch...but nothing changed with it. (Already has self leveling)
Service light reset... I assume a special tool at dealer/service to reset that?
Took the side panel off trying to figure out the throttle...found some new questions:
What are these?
First, this was buried in the panel/not installed in a switch "blank". It lights up when I switch it, so seems to be hooked up. I thought maybe it turns off the self-leveling boom, but that...
