Alpine tractor talk

[MattyF]

What wheels are you running John ?

On a side note, does anyone know of an alpine tractor and small winch operator in or near Otley? Got a job I’m involved in where it could be handy. Very steep banking that the Logbullet won’t get up, so was proposing felling everything down the hill, then dressing out and leaving in pole length. Wee tractor and winch would be ideal for the site. I only have 600kg pull on the LB so not near enough.

Shame it’s not closer Mike.

I am not sure but it is on agricultural tyres, ripping the ground up 😬

[MattyF]

Wide ones or normal ?

I guess this is normal? 

[MattyF]

Yes I guess so ....I’d try Clarke forest for chains, would be interested to see how you get on.

I looked into some chains for the Logbullet, quoted £400 per pair plus vat 😳💵👎🏼 
Absolutely crackers money.

Cheers fella. Unfortunately I think that’ll still be a bit too big. I’ll keep searching.
