Not sure about the 10-500, but I think the most you can do with an 8-400 is about 100 ton a day, I did that with mine on a 210hp new holland.... I'd be interested to know what the 10-500 can do.

If you're going for a magnum then Deffinately go for the 310, the bigger 335 had rubbish front suspension, clutch pack problems and gearbox constantly breaths oil. Pretty bullet proof big tractors just make sure the front axle has been well greased and that it has the modification strips of rubber along the side of the engine and you'll be on a winner, great pulling, one of the comfiest on the road and excellent hydraulics.

it was an 8-400 but I wore it out the new 10-500 comes on Thursday

but saying that the opening is 800 high the drum is 500 so it will chip a solid bit of timber 500 but you can reject it and turn the log over

 

HI BUSY a 250/275hp run that ok yes as paul had one on site of 40" on a 360hp plus thanks jon

Tom yes I am doing 100 tons a day

I chip for a guy every week we do 100 tons , 4 wagons of wet timber in 9 hours , about an hour of that is spent waiting to push the pile up

So really it is 100 tons in 8 hours , which averages 12.5 per hour

So I have a good bench mark to go from for the new machine

I have it on go pro to time the difference , and how to feed the machine
