We rigged the wood down traditionally and moved it out with a loader. At that point there was a little more room to work and once I lost my high point the high line setup was not the best choice for the rest of the project
The rig at 4:18 is probably the most controversial rig of the video and the climb. What we did to mitigate forces was lock off the hold back line and let the pice run on the belly block then crank the pice back up on that same block before having it run out to the road. I have taken out a lot of...
1. that is correct in terms of the haul lines. the people on the street just pulled the material "uphill" at the very end. we were conservative on how tight we made the highline to keep forces low.
2. there was flex in the anchor points but little to no stretch in the lines. they were dyneema...
There was one climber (me) the other climber was filming there was one person running the grcs belly block and 2 people at the street end pulling the pieces in and chipping brush. A bit of standing around but everyone was moving at certain times of the day. If the setup had a steeper angle to...
a cast Workey quad ssq22. It is similar to the ramrod but 4 wheel motors instead of 2 and a chain, 12” more lifting height and the face plate has more mobility. A few wierd hydrolic fittings from Italy I am dialing in but overall a cool machine
It has a new engine and new wheel motors so i don’t know how I would make an hours judgement. It is no spring chicken. I have orderd a few parts from ramrod and it was not difficult or obsolete. When I need to replace hoses I go to Parker store or Perteck. The wheels I got from a pomp’s tire...
They are both about 4 or 5 years old. It’s with shipping. I used them for production tree work as a contract climber for 3 years solid not sure about how many hours. Then I went to the 201 they work amazing when cold out but once it heats up I have had trouble with the compression when starting...
Got a ramrod 900t mini skid steer. Replaced both wheel motors put a Honda clone predator engine in foam filled the tires. It has a high low switch and is oddly fast on straight aways This fits through a 35” gate and saves the back. $5,500 in Madison WI
