i’ve snuck that little tractor into a few places i’d never have even of though of taking either of my others. ive also got the same berti (well the 2.5m cut) on my t234 and it’s deadly. swinging hammers are a bit more forgiving on any contaminated sites you might find yourself on

yeah it’s great, bought it for a particular contract that hasn’t materialised yet but has turned out to be bloody useful on other jobs. it’s a serrat with swimming hammers, the rotor has hollow pockets

I didn’t want fixed tooth was my main requirement, other than that it was the right money at a dealer reasonably local to me. Always a bit of a gamble buying 2nd hand flails/mulchers but thankfully all this need was a new set of flails which cost me £400 from flails direct. I payed £4750 plus vat for it which is about a 3rd of the cost of a new one

Bought a little 6550 valtra to run alongside my T234 and N174. bought it from wilson’s with a little crane trailer as well. fifth tractor i’ve had off wilson’s over the years and fantastic service as ever. perfect little tractor for sneaking into places that are a bit tight for the newer valtras and a handy little thing to have onsite with the mulcher on the back.

I very rarely go and look at grinding jobs, more often than not I just ask about access over the phone and get a couple of pictures sent with something for scale against the stump

IMO How frangible the round is is more important really.

oh , he's not going to take that well

everything i bring back to the yard has value. odd length logs, stump cuts and chogs goes for arb waste timber which we are paid for by the artic load. All softwood 2.5m in length and up to 1.2m diameter goes for chip by the artic load. Hardwood cord upto 400mm diameter goes to a couple of firewood dealers, they either buy it by the artic load or i sell smaller loads delivered with tractor and trailer. Oversize hardwoods go to a couple of guys who firewood it for their own use, again sold and delivered by the tractor and trailer. Chip goes out by the artic load. il even mix stump grindings in with older chip to make a nice mulch for people who want it for flower beds which i sell by truck or tractor and trailer loads upto 35 cubic metres. the only thing that doesn’t have value to me is hedge clippings or rake up

😭 a man on the internet was mean to me

less of the fat remarks please eggs i swam 2.5k this morning

it’s to easy 🤣 i imagine it’s a bit like carp fishing, chuck a bait out and wait for a bite

maybe eggs reputation precedes him

@Johnsond I think you should take a bit of time away from arbtalk.

bare ended. Even when i used to splice a lot i could never be bothered to splice my own rigging lines
