All you need is a set of breaker hoses less then £50 on Ebay and use lever on tractor you can not do it cheaper any other way.

 

 

OK:thumbup:

Leyland 804 on our new (used) timber trailer, a few handles to get head round

After months of scouring the internet I found this Valmet 865

I'm very happy with it[emoji3]

Good job Marcus.

 

Tidy yoke.

Thanks wrsni, I bought mesel a 2nd hand forklift carriage and euro 8 brackets yesterday, I intend to fabricate a clip-on hyd log-beak of some sort, using a cheap hydraulic top link.

With the fast hydraulics and the creeper gears, near as usuable as a hydrostatic drive for loading the bucket without riding the clutch (with a filled link box on the back as ballast), a concreted filled 45 gallon drum will be perfect at about 500kg.

I intend to fit better fat radial tyres at some point, be ideal iffen I can source ones to fit the really good Stocks rims.

cheers

Was thinking of putting a beak on my old masted forklift, thought if I made the actual arm on a socket I could swap it for a straight arm and use it to lift ibc cages off there pallet bases to empty them into the back of the truck.

I bought my ex forklift carriage from a local forklift specialist, with a yard full of stuff "a breaking", saw an absolute honey of a virtually new looking box tipper carriage, with a hyd. motor driving a worm to give endless rotation, £1000.00 though.

Ah could near be tempted . . .

PS

The Quickie Euro 8 brackets, the proper drop forged ones pre set ready to weld on, cost me £50.00 from a local agric engineer, i.e. cheaper than ebay!

I used to build box tipplers when I worked for a company called agri weld years ago. We tried a hydraulic moter onto a crown wheel to give continuos rotation but found that as the weight went over centre it would jam the gears and wear on the gears was excessive. Have seen the idea used on tipplers for rolls of paper and such where the load doesn't shift while in rotation.

Think broadwater used to make a tippler with worm gear but never got to look inside 1

Back in November I bought a euro headstock off a guy who I got in touch with via the farming forum but in the midst of all the dalein', I managed to negotiate a stonking price on three sets of euro brackets as well.

 

Somewhat embarrassingly however, I haven't actually got any of it fitted yet!

[difflock]

The better the day the better the deed! (Or so I have heard quoted)

 

As in I welded my euro8 brackets on my forklift carriage today.(so, like wrsni?, do you want me to bring the wee Inverter welder round tomorrow:001_tt2:)

 

And the wee Kioti will lift 1500kg, centred 400mm out on the toes,

 

or 88 no 18 by 9 by 4 blocks, comfortably.

 

Well pleased I am, so now to get my clip-on log beak fabricated
