They handed them out in the 70s, It's a hydraulic saw with a 12" blade on the end. Faster, cleaner and safer (once you know how to use it) than the chainsaw on a stick that you see around now. Yeah those are pretty great. This was literally a Stihl gas-powered weed whacker with a Mitre saw blade on it.

Yeah, they call them "pole pruners" around here. I have an electric one, and it's tits for pruning my Apple trees and such. Don't need to even get on a ladder in an OSHA disapproved manner.

I got the pruner attachment for my Ryobi line trimmer a few years ago and it's loving astonishing how good that tiny chainsaw is at cutting through poo poo. With the expandable bit, I can cut through tree limbs 30cm thick a good 4m above me. EDIT: unlike the stock image I found, you should probably put some bar oil in it before doing anything.

Apparently, SOP for a stuck float cell is to beat it up a little bit. Turns out that tank actually had a differential pressure cell instead

Yeah, floats have a tendency to stick, which is why most boiler codes require two different low water cutoff switches of different types (one float, one probe, for instance). I don't know what industry you're in, but some things carry over regardless.

The best part is the second guy zooming by in the background, meaning this isn't some one-off Vietnamese Billy Bob contraption that he thought of five seconds ago. This poo poo has organization.

Platystemon posted:I would watch this sport. You fucker, this is exactly what I thought when I saw this. What the gently caress is this contraption? It seems similar to the stand-up riding lawnmowers that all the lawn care companies use, but uhhh I doubt it's just some more dangerous rice field version. Maybe some sort of tiller or aerator? I see what looks like a rotating blade on the bottom. MF_James fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Mar 22, 2017 |

Yea I don't have the context for it, but I'm pretty sure it's for preparing a rice paddy. Side note, do you guys know why rice is typically grown in water like this? It's not because the rice requires it, but because not much else will grow in the water. That means less weeding and higher yields. Tumble fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Mar 22, 2017 |

Yeah it's a power tiller, a variation on the single axle two wheel tractors you see all over the third world. They've got a bit of pick up ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmcEDeouN4g

Apparently, SOP for a stuck float cell is to beat it up a little bit. Most wet instruments have something that can go wrong that will be fixed by hammering. The only thing noone dared hammer was coriolis flow meters. Which is heartwarming in a way, because coriolis flow meters do their own hammering.
