Thanks, Andy

Been coppicing some field-side hedgerow today, had a JCB teleporter to move the bulk of the timber out and push up the fire, (mmmm mackerel pan-fried for lunch) but the little atv with the brush fork came in handy fr the tight spots the JCB just couldnt work in, and the green elm isnt exactly the lightest to chuck about:biggrin:

Just bumping this thread for the newer members. Charlie, how are you finding the Cheng shin tyres now? Many users in this area complain of skittish handling. I've just fitted Titans up front, 6ply, and they handle well on and off road. Pic attached of the extra wide low pressure tire fitted to my trailer for extreme off road work, raised the trailier considerably giving better stump clearance. Been trying to find various other pics on forum to give an idea of mods I've made.

they are holding up very well, showing little signs of wear. They are ok on the road for slowish (sensible) use and have been fine in most conditions but in mud they just dont have the tread to get grip and they are to detailed a pattern to clear the mud quick enough,

 

Im tempted to get a set of kenda executioners/bearclaws for very muddy work and keep the others for summer use

 

 

nice trailer tires, my arch is on the standard 22x11x8's seems ok so far

Had some new forks fabbed over the weekend, solid "Bash" plate at the back. On test they are far stronger than the originals, and heavier so they dont bounce over the brash.

We have a 2009 Kawasaki KVF 750. We run a flail off the back and use it for dragging/towing logs out of the woods. Brilliant bit of kit. We have a sprayer on the back loading cage for doing the trailways.

Testing it clearing up some Lime from a ditch. Detaching the winch cable from the forks and using it to drag the butt out of the ditch, the forks then act as spades, digging into the ground for extra purchase.

I think you need some air in those front Tyres!

[Andy Collins]

Yes I forgot to increase the fronts pressures!

How much weight do you recon you can get on the forks Andy, before the rear wheels come off the ground? Impressive design though, looks very useful.
