I’ll counter your massive Valtra with my little SAME - such a great little winch tractor!
I bought it last year from a quarry we do a lot of work in - it had only done 2000hrs on a dust suppression bowser. 
It goes literally anywhere, and uses no diesel ever…
 

And it'll probably be still running long after the valtra has been broken for parts!

Got the Igland Multigrip mounted to the pallet forks recently.
So far it seems a handy thing to have and a bonus that it opens to almost vertical for handling pallets without needing to unbolt it.
Also quite surprised by its gripping power!
Anyone else run a bolt on pallet fork grab?

This cracking setup is on site turning larch into biomass this week - lovely bit of kit (we are making it work hard though!).

It was filling these walking floors in less than an hour (which is very good IME - an Albach will do the same in 20 mins but is 3 times more powerful and probably 4 times the price). The chip quality is very good too.

Last night on, Inside the factory BBC2 there was a nice County winch tractor .


Gregg visits a factory that makes 10,000 chairs every year.

 

Interesting and the chaps felling the ash knew where they were at; felling it flat on the fork to stop it splitting down the butt. It would have hammered over but they made the mistake of adding the tractor pulling for entertainment and they miscalculated  the rope length, it cost them a back window by the looks . I wonder if they reported a tree falling on tractor under RIDDOR.

 

It seemed strange they would skid logs out on that flat ground, even stranger to see a mill yard that muddy nowadays.

 

We only supplied beech to Smiths for Ercol but did attempt some woodmizered ash squares for another company that imported from the states
