Balls! I thought the Forestal rotors are designed to take a bit of that though?.

this is the first breakage i’ve had since i got it a year ago. i’m pretty impressed with it really, it’s done a lot of work the last 3 days on this site

I guess the grab pipes don't run through that rotator so you'll not have continuous?
It'll be very strong but you'll have to keep a close eye on them emong brash.

The hoses are just tucked in the grab, they run through the centre of the rotator.

 

Stephen is spot on, you’ll need to get the hose length sorted and that vulnerable pipework guarded.

 

If it was me I’d turn that rotator 90 degrees anti-clockwise so the motor was on the other side of the dipper arm facing the machine where you can see it, with a narrower profile.

I’d switch the rotate lines to that side and you’ll have a nice short hose route, then guard it.

 

Here’s one I had turned the motor 90 degrees and the last worm drive I’ll ever sell!!

The solution is on it’s way very shortly and the Grapple saw job should be finally cracked!

Ah yeh I see it now the grab pipes run in at the top of the rotor, so used to looking at a conventional rotor where all the pipes enter in the same place.
