the all aussie dribble thread!

And a Lucas mill.

Will be be thick slabs with the mill at that height! :msp_w00t:

Lol I'm thinking the Lucas might need some stilts :msp_unsure:

 

[husq2100]

Needs serious pulling power I think the mid mounted pto winch on a 101 may do it

side mounted the run a little shaft out the side of the Lt95 through the chassis and the winch is outboard on the left side chassis rail. AFAIK only good for 4000lb?

 

[tdi-rick]

And a warn winch to get out again

You'd want an 8274 or Serg's Hydro winch, my XD9000 wouldn't be fast enough

You can change that XD9000 to a 9.5XP with a change of the motor Rick and have the fastest line speed under load. The 8274 (as fitted to my GU with the 6HP motor) is fastest unloaded. (I think, all from memory!) :msp_rolleyes:

I'm really surprised none of us have suggested using a snatch block yet either........

There goes your line speed!

Anyway, blocks are for wimps!

It's 75 meters tall. But they state that its one of the tallest living trees in Vic. Not Aust. It's a Mountain Ash.
It's been hit by lightning in years gone by and that was likely to have been as tall as 120 meters

 

[AUSSIE1]

Seen them used with boardwalks etc. :msp_thumbup:

Pushing overhead like that in redgum would help with the upper body aching!

 

[VinceGU05]

Blackbutt.

So that's what my floor boards looked like in a previous life

Will have to offset the winch about 35 40 mm to fit that motor.
I went from an XD to a XP.

The "Ada tree" is a Mountain Ash, this species is also noted as the tallest flowering "plant" and tallest hardwood on the planet!

Yeah there are some monsters down in Tasmania. There is some gigantic Eucalyptus regnans (one is the 2nd tallest tree in the world at present) and some huge Stringybarks at Tahune.





The airwalk is 30 odd metres off the ground.

News flash.
I have just become a father again.
A big baby boy. Looks a bit orange in the face and doesn't scream just yet.
A seized up MS660.
So now on the look out for a pot and jug or whatever u guys call em.
Might even have a dip at a bit of porting him.
Oh!! So much reading and searching to do.

Do you know what is the tallest tree on the mainland then? have you seen the Ada?

Ehhhh that's piss weak given the size of the vehicle but I guess being a lr it would only be used to extract other lesser vehicles

 

[VinceGU05]

I got the info out of a 4wd book. I have done a heap of 4wding around where that tree is but haven't visited it, yet.

At least the 101 had decent diffs, CV's and axle sizes and a nice, strong g/box-t/case.

The winch was probably only designed to move artillery that was stuck anyway.
