Roadside sycamore winch fell from this week. One farmer making things hard work so had to change plans and fell tree into a different field!

 

Haven't used this grab in years! Maybe 8 or so and got it out to sell on. Used it on this job and thought it was mega handy! Saves messing about with forks and timber sliding about. Might just keep it now 😆

Every time I think of posting a pic of my old Zetor 6748 I think of this and think,,, Nah!

halfway through treating her to new brakes,master and slave cylinders,etc, one side done, probably be doing the other side in a foot of snow if weather reports are anything to go by.

Ive not seen that sort of setup on the back of the Zetor, but it looks really well thought out for all sorts of situations.

A nearby farmer purchased  a teleporter and had the bag lifter for sale, they used to have a drill or spreader mounted on the lifter, I looked at it and thought it was ideal to mount my winch, it worked out really well, the lifter will extend another meter and a half and I have a set of tongs to fit on the end, or I can run the winch cable through a pulley attached to the lifter in place of the hook and use it like a skidder, it has proved itself a very versatile combination.

I have got the wakiest David brown 1490 had it since 2020. Farming for 2 years with out a loader tractor relying on contractors to do all jobs. In the winter splitting bales down and moving all by hand. When I drove it home after buying it it nearly set on fire due to some electrical bodgery but got it home. It was clapped out before I got it and it certainly hasn't improved, well it starts and runs, had to get pump and injectors reconditioned. Turbo obviously broke at some point and so has been blanked off. Leaks hydraulic oil, clutch and brake fluid. Only got one brake at the moment and the loader needs re-bushing amongst a million other jobs. Doesn't use any engine oil mind. I think what a piece of crap it is then other times I think back to when I could only dream of owning such a weapon! Lifting things like chipper hopper on and off etc. I am aiming to replace it or certainly get some thing a bit more user friendly as my wife doesn't much like driving it and being 2wd it isn't the best.
