Stephen, in the fourth picture, what is that silver box mounted inline with the hydraulic pipes on the ram? I saw those today on a kubota and wondered what they do?

[Stephen Blair]

I think they are relief valves.

  If a pipe blows then the arm won’t drop.

Check valves mate - they have to be fitted if the machine is used for lifting operations.

Any JCB anoraks out there? Could you tell me whether this is project 12 or project 21? It’s a 4 speed power shift gear box and year 2002 which was the changeover from project 12-21...

I think that is a p21, bigger back window with no curved glass in the corners.

Check the output on the engine, I think they are all turbo but with different power outputs, makes next to no difference using the back end, but noticeable on the road and pushing with the front.

No this is a interesting concept

Been talked about for many years, they’re on the right field but wrong tent.

The solution is out there now, just nobody’s put it together yet.

That looks a horrendously inneficient and expensive way to move a few twigs. Would be cheaper (on most terrain) to have a wheeled forwarding setup following behind.

Looks top heavy, doubt it would take much of a side slope to tip it.

Certainly an interesting concept for one pass harvesting in a ccf environment.
