I was going to bring it 7S as all the recipients bar Admiral Trembath will be there. I have tried to give the lot to Cuffy twice and to big Dave once...

WHat I am after is a 12volt scource that will provide 70 watts. The lap top sorts out the voltage... What wattage does your Maplin charger give?

Thank you muchly all explained bootifully Where might one find a 70watt> 12 volt charger?

I am a little confused - but enough of that! Okay, lap top needs in excess of 70 watts to operate. I have a 12volt power scourse that will supply upto 2000mA. Will that work? Yes I know I could scour the net for a simple chart, but I have limited access tot he net, I have to work, yaddah, yaddah. Asking politely for advice is quicker. Thanks guys

Whereabouts are you?

Booked that one down inthe diary James - so you have your first marshal BTW have you ever thought of stealing some of theideas our European Bretherin use? The 'penalties for using a winch' one is somewhat detremental to the ground and needs a lot of marshals but some of theother ideas are sound...

Oddly enough, yes it is!

Thanks young padwan - Myamoto Musashi and Lao Tzu BTW Garmin told me this morning that Map Scource is on version 11 as of this January and you can get a freebie if you sign on to the web site

Yup that's the one. Picked one up the other day for not a great deal and was playing with it the other night. I shall look into updating the maps et al...

Was wondering about Map Scource and it's range of maps.

Making comments from an armchair is so much more relaxed...

I go all rose tinted over Lassa Town and Countrys in 8.25x16 mmmmmm

Si, take a peak at TSL Swampers and then a peak at SAT's

Lie still and behave and you can have a biscuit

Si, Flail mowers don't run that fast, max about 1700rpm on the little Twose stuff, same goes for rock wheels and stum grinders. I've got an old Turner SP flail in the yard thats got a sweet little impeller and a 12hp petrol powered pump. Any use? Jez, take your medication right now and get back in your basket

Ahh, the pleasures of a 3.0ltr V6 engined 80" on SAT's in the wet. Memories are so sweet

Tony's was/is a hydraulic/electric hybrid, when ampage draw hit a ceratin level then the hydraulic assist came in. It was designed to get over the low pulling power of an 8274/high ampage draw. He never admitted how much it cost but 10k was the suggested figure. Making the gears/complete modification of the box will cost a shed load all for no real practical reason. Run on is variable in all winches even the 8274, some are worse than others. Despite the fact that I loath using the 8274, I rebuild a fair few over the course of a year and it's relatively easy to improve the run on with a decent service and a decent motor... Or you could retro modify it to use a better brake system like the old belleview.

Wise words of wisdom my son

Not as such but there is a remould version under the Supa Mud Plugga brand name, sold by a company in South Wales called A&A tyres IIRC

FOr those not in the know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_RB_engine

So speaks Mr 'My gearings so low I could run an 850 'A' series instead of my hoofin gert V8 so nah nah nah' Utteridge

James, I would be more than happy to Marshal. I would also like to say it's nice to see someone being so proactive and looking to fulfill a huge niche market. How's the finger by the way?

Ryobi 800w, loverly and cheap and you get pretty good drill bits for free Boshe stuff was very good but is going down hill, got some woodworking stuff that has seen 15 years hard labour and is sound but the 1000w corded drill bought last year is shot away

Get it to Gloucester/Cheltenham or Hereford and I will bring it back to Somerset Or Cardiff/Merthyr/Stroud/Swindon/Trowbridge/Devizes/Chippenham and all points between

When it comes down to it the TD5 is a good lump but it is only icckle. If you have power issues in something so light then I would look at what the cause is not simply look for more horses.
