Valtra/botex and chipper

[Gray git]

 

Busy daddy asked me too post this up of his 1st video doing a bit of biomass.

 

Might get a bit more video of it working in a few weeks as I've got the Machinery for a thorn clearance job

Nice set up you have there very similar to mine,(jealous of the chipper mind you).

[Brushcutter]

Very nice.

 

Why no guarding of the rear window?

Carnt beet a roof mount for feeding a chipper!

On biomass chipping we can clear 75ton + in a good day and it just eats trees!

 

Not mine but I do spend a bit of time stubby driving it for lad in video.

Handy having the 570tl crane for the extra reach!

Valmet 6400?

Is that a Bandit 150xp? Ever knock the bar and have to get out and reset it?

Be careful under trees and things. I have a 570 and i've knocked one extension ram fitting off. It's an expensive ram:blushing: Also be careful about the hydraulic pipe that runs down the ram too the 4 welds that hold it there arent good.

 

I'd have guard welded up to go over it. Save you a lot of bother.

Valmet 8550 with Bandit 90,i do knock the bar now and again but you soon learn coz its a pain,works very well but could do with slightly bigger infeed.That said it is better for accessing difficult jobs.

Bandits are so big it's difficult to tell. Got a 150xp on a valtra A95. Its big Global built a sliding headstock for it so you can centre it up a bit on the linkage as the hopper is so offset. Have feed it with a forwarding trailer though.

[E CHARLESWORTH]

Sliding headstock sounds handy,might look into that.

Very nice.

I took the guarding off mine, the visibility is night and day, my eyes would go wonky trying to focus past the mesh.
