What saw is it? Looks slightly modded

Depends on exactly what the chipper is. If its got no stress, in theory, it should be able to run a good size chipper, just slower than a bigger tractor.

Gross weight of that trailer is 3500kgs. Its likely to have a payload of around 2 tons(guessing) The 130 landy can legally tow 3500kgs. Assuming you have the relevant trailer licence, all should be good. Apart from that, as said, its expensive. I wouldn't buy at that price when you consider the state of tyres, brakes, general wear and tear compared to a few hundred more for a new one! The other alternative if finance is tight, go for another recognised brand. Many good ones out there you could afford new, and have the reassurance of a manufacturers warranty.

Very, very nice!👍 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

It's a long haul for sure, and more than a job is what I meant. Not directed at you or anyone particular. Funny how things have changed over the years also, just 20 years or so ago, there were a few basic tickets to prove you'd had some level of training, now we have a huge infrastructure that's telling school leavers they need these higher level quals. I maybe old school, but I'd still prefer to see someone prove themselves in the field rather than show me their bits of paper.

Not meant to be offensive, but to put it in prospective, I probably spend around 70-80 hours a week "working". If you're doing a 8-5 job and cant fit anything else in your life, there's no need to try and advance it. You will be expected to do more hours if you get a job your quals support.

If you're wanting to advance your career yet are struggling with time due to a hectic 40 hour week, id say don't bother. Look into another career.

Any particular width and depth on the bat slits Adam? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Might be a wold shot this one, but anyone know of a spare engine for a CASE or IH 885xl?😜 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yeh, they seem to have prices all over. Will look forward to the pics😎 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Dare I ask what sort of money a 110 like that is now? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Sad really Bob. Going on the fact it's a common colour, a bit petty really. A bit more hunting found this; N3363 Vermeer Yellow. DuPont colour apparently. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Mmmmm, already commented on my age but not quite as old as you. I do know of the xl2 though. I remember my dad buying one new when I was a kid, must of been late '70s. It had a good life with him and I used it a lot until around 7 or 8 years ago when it was stolen. Sad loss but fond memories of the first saw I ever used. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Let us know how you got on, and if any info here was useful😎 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Ok, 20 seconds on google came up with the code; 70106DSLF Or you could simply walk in your local agricultural Ford New Holland dealers and ask for a tin of yellow😎 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

It's the same as new holland yellow if that helps. Think cat yellow is possibly same too. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Oh yes! If only they knew😧 Think I'm 46😎. A few bits have been renewed and some fallen off, but my head's still telling me I'm 25. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

The 4000 should have a gauge. A good way to see if it's cooling correctly is check the temp of the bottom hose when it's run a while. If it's hot going into the injun it's probably running too hot & something's blocked, or full of crud! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

That looks awesome Tom. The reverse drives have come on a lot. I remember early ones, you needed to dismantle the normal steering column and fasten it in the back of the cab along with all controls. Would take 20 minutes every swap. Right pain! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Steve, Lol! Most of mine are done without bending my back😎 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yeh, all points taken, most of my commenting is tongue in cheek😎. As said, directional felling can be left with a margin of error, unlike tight spot felling such as domestic when targets are much higher risk. I understand the idea of reducing tear damage, but there is an alternative. The tear will usually happen when the "gob" closes, and tear either up or down the stem. Instead of cutting off toes, or narrowing hinge width, a plunge cut can be applied below felling cut level, as a "sap cut" almost at soil level. This cut should not compromise the width of the hinge until the gob closes, then tear down to the plunge cut without tearing below ground. Obviously everyone has a different preference etc, but thought I ought to put a method of my madness behind my many rantings and Mickey taking. Hope you understand what I'm on about, and possibly even try it out one day, it does work! Lol!😎 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Can I ask the same old question, why did you cut off the most important part of the hinge? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

So, what's the updates from you all a month later? They miraculously come back to perfect health? I'd say around us around 30% are healthy, about 60% are VERY poorly, and the rest are dead! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
