He is pretty good to be fair. These stub axles had been identified as a weak point, so he had preempted them failing and sent me two new uprated ones. Even if I have to wait for parts to arrive it usually takes about a week to ten days so not bad really. 

 

I've so far had to have rear cross member repaired, snapped the t-piece that holds the two sperate parts of the machinetogether and now sheared the stub axle. Believe it or not I actually have a fair deal of mechanical sympathy! I think I'm just on a run of bad luck, and as mentioned overloading the machine previously is now coming back to haunt me.

@IronMike  nature of the game really, Forestry stuff gets loaded / stressed 110%, which finds the weak link in anything , same with military kit . One test is go up on Salisbury Plain in winter , throw kit ( Tank , lorry , 4x4, AT missile etc ) in a bog , to freeze overnight then pull it out next morning n see if it works !

 

Glad your seeing a solution ahead  :) K

We always say things break in 3s... So hopefully that's you done for a while [emoji23]
Had nothing interesting myself bar fellas bringing me saws "there's something broken with this it won't cut at all, buy whatever parts it needs".... Unfortunately I can't replace the operator who repeatedly dulls the chain and can't figure out why cutting roots & muddy timber is having any effect [emoji2357]
