Labour Saving and General Guntering

emaherx

How about using this thread to show off our engineering skills (or lack of!)
A lot of us have home made or improvised labour saving tools / implements lying around. Similar to stuff in Farmers Journal labour saving compettions. (without the prize money:p).

Maybe we could use this thread to share interesting ideas and discuss improvements.

I don't have any pictures at the moment of my own but I will take some at the weekend if not before.

My own projects include:
Quick hitch for front loader (fairly rough but works), designed to fit Trima implements onto MF loader.
Adapter to fit bale lifter onto front loader.
Various other loader attachments spikes etc.

Current project is a wrapped bale transporter being built out of remains of an old Muck Spreader. (only just started, currently just an axle and draw bar).

Their maybe other stuff around too, I'll have to have a look.

So what are peoples opinions, is this a good idea for a thread?

So that got a hell of a reaction. I suppose I had got blasé about the forum charter, and the fact that everything you post can be used against you, and if a government agency takes an interest, a court order will deliver your identity in jig time. Also thanks to Stock for offering to send his acquaintances from the H&S round, but I must decline your request for my name and address. Get a court order if you are that interested.

So, to close

Don't worry about being investigated. It's the myth about helicopters flying over when you are burning bushes.

Best of luck and fook the system

At least from an engineering perspective it was quite good, clever trigger mechanism etc. Perhaps you can re-engineer to something like a power washer extension like this for the roof of the shed, gutters, etc. and the rest into one of those chainsaw log horses

can you hire a pole saw? i heard you cant hire chainsaws anymore for insurance reasons

While I agree Iver hadn't the best idea with the pole saw, and agree with the safety concerns, I think people are being overly hard on him, reckon he's gotten the message in fairness.

Well said. I hope when the dust settles he sees the funny side of it all.

Don't think anyone should take it personally. Nobody has a problem with iver, it's the design idea that we are all finding fault with, not the designer.
