Mark Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I will be there representing the leccy machines, although it is as much out of my interest as anythng else, as I don't think there will be many others with the same setup as me! I would like to compare against a standard 8274-50 though as that is the motor I am running. I am not going to be drawn into the electric/hydraulic/pto debate though.... someone want to tell me who I need to talk to about shires membership??? ta Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 someone want to tell me who I need to talk to about shires membership??? Will is our membership secretary, you can find all the details here: www.shirelrc.com/membership.asp As Andy says, membership is a very reasonable £10 per year and entry to the play day is £20, the reason the price is shown as £15 is that we've just had to raise it as the landowner wants us to hire a roadsweeper and jet wash every event You need to join up before turning up - it's club rules to discourage the banger racing crew so if you're coming along please get your form off to Will so he can forget to send you your card luckily he's quicker at that than building vehicles Anyone wanting some photos from Bunny Lane have a look in the Shire Gallery: Some piccies Some more piccies Quite a few more piccies!

Tonk Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 there is no point testing 5 identical 8274's. Thanks Les - as we've only had one electric winch owner come forward, we might not need it sorted then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to compare against a standard 8274-50 though as that is the motor I am running. i'll be there, i've got a 8274-50 on front but with 6hp motor, 4.6 -50 on the back, i'll probably be busy all day though, i'm coming with a v8 and if its raining i'll be tryin to work out where to spray all the wd40 someone want to tell me who I need to talk to about shires membership???ta Mark u need to speak to Mr Warne, lets hope he's quicker with membership than he is building his truck or u'll never get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Nige is right. The load cell needs to be double lined back to the tree and then the snatch block connected to the single line winch. That way the winch effort is split between the load cell and the tree. I guess you will need a good strong length of winch cable for that part of the operation.

Mark Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Andy M (Moglite) - err not quite - haven't finished the front winch yet, I could use the rear Husky I suppose, if everyone is prepare to camp over for the weekend Nigel (HFH) IR Series 14T Industrial PTO Driven / Superwinch H14W HyBrid System Ian G (BBC) PTO Driven Milemarker Jez (DollyTheLW) Milemarker type R Trev90 8274 Mark 8074 with 4.6 motor MikeTomCat Superwinch EP9 I notice there is a distinct lack of twin-motor 8274's, having babies, manicure booked, having hi-lights retouched - I've heard 'em all now As for the wire vs "plasma" debate. All valid points, I've yet to see a 50 tonne crane on synthetic. However not all LR owners are so methodical with their use of wire ropes. From my perspective, synthetic breaks, you'd be unlucky to get a bruise, with steel, you could loose your head. If you excuse the pun, thats a no-brainer <groan> Still need PTO and more electric winches. So is anyone else interested? Would be good to see a few more different varieties of winch represented...

Turbocharger Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'd love to throw a standard Milemarker & ZF74 into the mix but I think I'm up north that weekend. More importantly, is anyone going to be taking videos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrik Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I've seen his truck at a challenge over here in Belgium, but didn't knew about his winch system. But I've heard he is running a central pto winch together with a 8274 at the front. Have you got more details about his winch system?

dollythelw Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Its a Robur - beautifully made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 scabby pre-restored one drive through PTO, up to 80 metres cable, mechanical autospooler, bit on the lardy side though but I guess compared to strapping a power station to the back its not too bad mind you its gotta be carp - its Eastern European Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 mind you its gotta be carp - its Eastern European Looks great, but a bit heavy/big for in the back of a landy. but for the stuff you're doing... I like the autospool thing, especially on that speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MogLite Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 I'm gonna pull the plug on this one for now BBC can't make it. HfH probably will need to winch his way there as he refuses to fit a diesel I also have a couple of reservations about the tech. If we have winches capable of pulling in excess of 15,000lb in a single line pull - are we gonna find a tree (or group of trees) on a landfill site strong enough - I dunno. Also we'll need to generate 15,000lb + of drag to give the winch something to pull against. I was originally thinking a number of vehicles chained together, however I think its going to need quite a few, especially on a sandy surface. I don't fancy the logistics/safety of doing the pull on a slope with a number of vehicles chained together I think I need to do some experiments first, and then re-schedule - watch this space.

dollythelw Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 saves me fitting a new diff and means I can get on with a little project that needs doing - does that mean I can borrow the leccy boys shampoo and wash my hair that weekend?
