Pole Trailer

[Highland Forestry]

Does anybody know of any pole trailers for sale to go behind a Valmet 820 ??

 

I'm looking for one with twin bolsters/twin axle to take an additional bunk of 3m chip.. Also for extracting whole tree lengths.

 

 

Cheers

Have you looked to see if the FC are doing any machinery sales. Pole trailers often come up on there.

 

Wouldn't two bunks of 3m on an 820 be pushing it on the weight side? I know they can take a massive amount but the bogies suffer.

I've been keeping my eyes open for a while now... I saw one about two years ago for sale for £300... didn't need it then but seems like a bargain now!

 

You're right about the 820... two bunks would be a bit much for her, but in my head it makes sense that she's only pulling the extra weight rather than carrying it?

 

Really I should part-ex her towards an 840 or similar that will actually take two bunks.

They sometimes come up on Ebay too.

 

I've seen on facebook some of the places you take your 820 and some look so wet i think it would sink with one bunk of 3m let alone a trailer of 3m on the back:001_tongue:

 

I think pulling is still going to be hard on the transmission and on the avaiable power unless your on favorable terrain. As the drawbars are quite long on pole trailers you'd be using the crane at quite long extension as well with i guess sometimes quite heavy grabs. Easy way to bend an extension which is really hard to fix.

 

The 820 is one of my favorite forwarders only let down by it's lack of working revs button. It's best feature is that you can overload them and they do keep going but it normally shreds the bogies.

 

I have a picture of an JD810 somewhere which wasn't really overloaded but it was enough to shear a pin in the bogie that then shredded all the planetary gears.

Yes.... err... we've re-built one bogie already

 

They are an amazing little forwarder.. I guess what ever size machine you have, you're always going to push it to the available limit...
