Our Valta T174 Vario with Fao Far trailer. 14.4tons of wood, my aim is to hit the maximum 15 but I've still never managed it.

How do you like it?  Had one with the powershift gearbox on demo last year. Very very good little tractor. It's like an a series with the bells and whistles of an n series.

Yes it replaced an Aseries. N would have been too big so size wise it’s perfect. Yes it’s grand, no complaints so far - it’s got front axle suspension so smooth AF

Not sure if the video will work but this is our T202. Handy set up with winch box on the front, Botex on the roof and TP320 on the back, pretty good for all the tight spots and smaller woodlands in the hills around us.

Did the customer specify a tower block development in the wood? Bad practice like that! What's the world coming to?!

No unfortunately not, the estate team had just taken delivery of a new digger and they were excited to try digging some stumps out with it!

The first thing they need to learn is that a high stump makes fk all difference unless the digger is 20t plus. 'High stumps for leverage' is an old wives tale.

 

Stumps are removed from the roots upwards. A ripper tooth helps. All a high stump does is give them something to rip pipes off when  they finally get bored of tipping the digger up towards the stump and decide that it might actually be a good idea to loosen a tap root...
