Alpine tractor talk

[CHC]

I've filled mine up with water. Wheel weights would be better but I was to cheep at the time to get some

[kav]

We have front weights and guarding and its enough for the flail, winch etc and trailer on the flat.

It is a bit back heavy with the chipper on but we just take it steady!

Im thinking I might ballast up my wider 'forestry' set of tyres

[Andrew McEwan]

This is mine with front weights that RSL made up for me, about right with the grapple on, sometimes could do with a bit more carrying the chipper, but not

often.

Do you have valve guards as well??

[Andrew McEwan]

Yup, the welder painted them red, can just see them. Riko also supplied with puncture sealant so have that floating about in there.

What did he use to make them?? Going to put them on mine. going to fill the trailer with junk as well. Had a couple of punchers and it always happens when loaded and at the farthest point

[Andrew McEwan]

Just four bits of 20mm plate I think, then bolted through existing holes in wheels. Yeah the puncture gunk has worked well so far, famous last words!

thought I would bump this thread again, been out flailing a bit recently got a few more days to do before its back into the woods for winter don't under estimate the power of an alpine. That's 2.7mtrs of Seppi SMO SP flail on the back at 850kg

[Stoke Wood Project]

Thanks. Very helpful. Looking for one at the moment. Ground clearance is a problem I hadn't thought of.

[Commando]

My only real complaint with the AGT850 is that when flailing (reverse drive) the rad needs to be cleaned every 30mins or so as it gets clogged with grass, and will overheat. RRPITA!! Anyone else struggling with this and if so any fixes?

Thx Cdo
