ARB Show feedback thread...please, and thank you
John Shutler replied to AA Teccie (Paul)'s topic in AA
A good show I thought, nice to see some larger kit onsite and certainly seemed busy However... I'm not quite sure why the bar facilities are always such a struggle to get right, people 30 deep trying to get a beer, a bar selling primarily real ale and selling out of lager and cider by lunchtime on the first day. It can't be that difficult could get a decent bar sorted, I'm sure the holford arms could provide a temporary bar for the duration of the show providing some more recognised drinks as opposed to the the obscure ales on offer that are not necessarily to everybody's taste -
Tree shear arrived today, had a play on some willow at home and it seems to work pretty good
-
And do what with the smallholding? I've got a smallholding and if you've got neighbours nearby, inevitably you'll get a complaint however friendly they seem I got reported for keeping commercial vehicles at home in one of my fields, a tractor and 6 tonne digger!! Enforcement officer is coming out next week. Thankfully both the tractor and digger are used for maintaining my property so there won't be an issue but don't underestimate the vindictiveness of neighbours once they get sniffy about things

Ive got a tiger cut tree shear coming for it and a flail, il probably get a fixed grab and rotator for it at some point as well
-
its a 10 ton jpm multi purpose plant trailer, yeah I recon I coukd get 2 extra buckets in as well
-
-
I wouldn't know...but it certainly made getting into the tractor easier All jokes aside, accessing a dirty ivy clad tree is so much easier srt

Roadside oak removal this morning, timber chogged down into the grain trailer then craned off with the roofmount when we got it down low enough.

Pizza this evening

A customer was chucking this one out, sat in my workshop for two years and finally got it home and fired up last weekend, worked a treat
-
I thought I was bad with 4
-
40 tonne crane
-
Yeah Valtra and roofmount are still going strong, the Massey is really just for pulling trailers round and running a hedge cutter
-
Mog and tractor?
-
My new digger a Volvo ec55 c arrives Monday so should hopefully have mine setup with a shear soon
-
What flail are you running
-
Billy have you got a diverter valve setup for your grab and rotator? How much was the grab and rotator? And which model is it? Thanks John

Doing a deal on a 5.5 ton yr 2010 Volvo. Looking forward to moving on with it now
-
Eddie, what are your thoughts on the smaller case machines, in particular the 5 tonne machine circa 2009 Also looked at a 2010 Hyundai robed 55-9 that was very well specced, but have heard bad things about them

Ken day is a good mobile guy 07836 386286
-
How many bar is the digger? Are you getting full cut capacity?
-
Tom I put kleibers on my valmet last year, I think it worked out about 3600 for a set
-
I'm in a good position for moving kit around as I have a 185hp Massey and trailer but didn't want a large machine as it might be overkill for some work and be to big for smaller sites
-
To be honest I hadn't thought about that, it would need to grab and then cut to work well in that function I guess
