Nice. I always wanted a landy still do despite driving them every day and banging my head on the thing and being permantly cramped up. Still love em. Is it insured as a classic or otherwise the insurnce bust be a killer

Take a look at Jas P wilsons they have some s/h trailers on there. Also a good finance deal on a new 8 tonne euro trailer with farma crane.

My Protector Pros are great too. I seem to get a year out of each pair working on the forest floor. None of the wear in the pictures on here.

Ring NPTC! i had a similar problem with CS32 the paper work had got lost between the trainer/college/nptc. Fortunatly i had the bit of white paper.

I'd call that cut a strap release cut. I've used it a few times on really heavy leaners. My logic for using it over a dogs tooth is the angle that the saw goes in. Sometimes when doing a dogs tooth i've had the tree go with the saw still in the final cut which can come back at you. If you do it with a release cut the saw tends to stay in the cut. Not sure i'd fancy cutting such big bits off while on spikes though.

Our kwickchip has a clevis hitch on the frame for towing a trailer. Never used it though always just chip into a grain trailer on a second tractor.

Ran a Ford Transit on a biodiesel that a friend made from recycling chip shop oils. He did all the VAT and Duty on it so we just got in 25litre drums and tipped it in. Worked fine the problem was getting the mix right for summer/winter or your have problems. Oh there was a issue with the fuel filter getting some kind of bacterial infection from the oil. It corroded the seal and it fell off on the A1(M) causing a slight breakdown.
-
on ours there is a little plate that comes out to put a hitch in it. Maybe Stephens has the same thing?
-
There is a valmet down here for about 8.5k would need guarding up but it looks ok, bet it has a lot of hours.
-
We got a brand new Valtra A series with full forest guarding and fore end loader for 35k from George Browns. The trailer came from Wilsons for about 6k several years ago. Thats the timber trailer on a the other valtra. Thats the new A with the front end loader. The winch is ancient Wilsons had a good reconditioned double drum for 2k plus the vat a little while ago.

Economic load carrying vehicle, for under 21s
Brushcutter replied to Andrew Reed's topic in Large equipment
I did my test when i was 22 and at 23 got my pick (D22 Navara). It was 1200 quid to insure for the first year now at 26 insurance is still 800 quid with NFU. I wanted a Landy 110 CSW but the insurance for that was over 2000 quid for a 5000 quid Landy. -
Thanks guys it was the tree boat thing i was after. I thought Proclimber did them but they don't seem to anymore. I'll drop a line to Nod and see how much one would cost if he can get one.

Lots come up but none for sale

NPTC | Latest News | Important change to Level 2 Chainsaw and Related Operations and PA4S and PA4G Update Thats the NPTC news so it's what you say. Not really hurd much about it other than that news link i'm suprised it's not in the Forestry Journal.

i have a similar problem with the MS660. The spark plug vibrates loose from the cylinder and sometimes the HT lead will pop off the plug. Doesn't make a bang though. Mine only does it with milling never solved the problem.
-
That's a nice roof mount. Is that a Valmet 8050? Are you side windows and rear ones guarded?
-
Depends on what they want for it. Looks like it's short a PTO shaft, some guarding around the filters. Not sure but the feed table looks a little short so it might not meet HSE specs.

i thought i 4250kg all in so 3500kg+750kg
-
The wood chips count on the vehicle weight so your 3500kg transit may take 1.2 of that weight of as payload. You can still tow a trailer upto 750kg. You can't however drive a 3500gh vehicle with a trailer over 750kg but you may drive a 1200kg vehicle with a 1200kg trailer as its less than the 3500kg of your licence. IF you do licence cat C1 which is 7500kg trucks you will still only be able to tow 750kg as you've changed catagory. You then would need to do C1+E which take you up to around 8500kg vehicle weight from memory. For the money i'd the C cat which credits you C1 as well the vehicle you take the test in is more or less the same size. C makes you much more employable as well. Your looking at spending about a grand a catagory for C and C+E

What is the best form of advertising in your opinion?
Brushcutter replied to Adam's topic in General chat
Well Sign written truck. When you do a job people can see who you are and how to get hold of you and the quality of your work. Only down side of having one is when people come and knock on your door when the thing is parked outside your house. If you have a dedicated works vehicle then get proper signs made up if it's a dual purpose vehicle well made magnetic signs are good. -
Nice job. Like the double rope lowering technique.
