Ant Hill Remover Prototype

Ian

Could be good for Witches Hats...lol

Yeah I know Harry. Might send him a pic and state that this is to make sure whatever is hit stays on the bullbar...lol

Mick

I'm retired, remember? Hence there are no time constraints. Now you trot along and go back to work!

The height is adjustable. Yes, I do think it will catch sticks and logs but that is what I want to achieve. Hopefully it will remove some of the spinifex seeds low down as well. It remains to be seen how effective it will be. Anyway, it will get a thorough testing next year. I do look where I drive too and so will stay clear of some objects on the ground.

Device (for the wont of a better word) will be carried at front of trailer in a bag of sorts.

The GQ's paintwork was a lot brighter at one stage...lol. I can send you photos of the permanent scratches and dints if you wish.



Cheers

Hey Willem & Footy

This old Plumber reckons it will do the job ok, bit hard to put a
Cow Catcher on the front of the Nissan, Willem would end up
with a permanent stuffed Back from lifting it on and off,
he's out there to enjoy himself in the middle of no where,
Look out Termites, lol lol.

by the look of willems one he must mean black ant hill remover lol

I agree it might level camel droppings not ant nests

Or.....??????
You want your bull bar mounted pretty well though!!

Thanks for all the ideas, Hairy

You have quite a steady drawing hand this late in the afternoon..........lol





Cheers

Like that idea Hairy,

Prefer a hydraulic ram rather than the cable tho ... that way, when a "I wasnt looking" Harry type walks out in front and gets collected, you can keep them pinned to the bar until a suitable disposal point is found ... LOLOL

OzTroopy,
Hydraulics!!! Hahahahaha!!!
I reckon cable is another modern gadget for Willem.
Hes only just got past fencing wire!
LOL

Thanks George


I am expecting something like what you say, but have to try it out anyway. It depends on where one is driving. I expect that the ends may bend and will be able to adjust that when in situ.

I am very careful when driving offtrack but this year a stick dislodged my fan and steering belts when it snuck up past the radiator.

I am still to devise a new spinifex seed collector to go over the front of the GQ. This past trip I had one doubled up but that took too much cool air away from the radiator.

I keep on devising new ideas to help with the hobby of camping and going to remote places. I will let you know at the end of August next year how it went :-)

Cheers

Willem, you could always reinforce the bonnet, attach a slide and hinge mechanism so that it flips over in front of the bullbar so you look like a 'grader', and you also have no more problems with cooling the radiator with no bonnet :))

keep up the inventions + better still keep up the photos too

cheers ...

Yes ofcourse, you are correct.

You could also address your comments to the Mining Industry, Surveyors, Government Agencies, Parks and Wildlife, Land Councils, Universities and private Research Organisations.

Yep fair enough. But we don't need to make bullets to have them fired back as us.
