Was it EP90?

steel. I've had fiber cored steel before, it was meant to be 'safer' but what was happening was because it wasn't as rigid it crushed on the drum and then snapped. I've not used plasma rope or any other synthetic ropes so can't comment on it.

The bark looks that way to me. English Oak the bark tends to be rougher.

It doesn't burn very well either. Wouldn't mill up into that nicer stuff either.

Burn it

I think it depends on the construction of the cable. The 11mm i have in my tirfor has an SWL of 1500kg but has a tested MBS of around 8 tonne if memory serves. I think i have 11mm in my fransgard which is 6.5t and i use to work with a 9.5t which was 13mm. All to do with how the cable is layed...

Broken strands damage hands or so the big poster in the workshop use to say. As you say if the tractor is used for work rather than pay it is required to have a roll bar under PUWER. Also the winch has moving parts that should be guarded under PUWER as well. I've seen and snapped many a winch cable. I've also seen the snapped choaker go through a tractor cab! As for getting a winch cable Anglia handling in Biggleswade are very helpful.

International delivery is available? Think that means they'll bring it down south?

Arbwork on here has a woodmiser or at least he use to. Worth a shot.

Try your local NFU mutual office. Did my Navaras for years on a commercial policy with NFU. Trailer cover and breakdown was in there. It was expensive but you get what you pay for.

There is a few cheap ploughs on ebay at the moment. Couple of dowswels and a Ransoms. 3 furrow reversible for around 500 quid.

I expect it is nearly the weight of a transit.

What is that block rated at? and if you dont mind me asking how much was it as i'd like one for my 6.5t one.

Harvester wanted to cut 500T near Battle

Does Woodwise still have a Valtra harvester. They're in that neck of the woods. -
Like the stroke processor.

Hornbeam:lol:

Nothing to be proud of but i've managed to put a tiny bend in my 13" one and get a bit of bluing on a sticky spot. 2 if not 3 years old now though.

Offer 500 you never know. Look for faults to drive the price down PUWER compliance is always a good one.

It doesn't work until its on your tractor working! I should know as i just got a winch that isn't quite right. Sitting idle kills kit, any electrics on that will be wet and will take forever to find the short that means nothing works as it should. That ram looks in need of a clean or it's quite scored, i cant tell from the picture. Bar and chain mount isn't insurmountable but you'd need to find out what it is and if a 'regular' harvester bar would fit. £500 quid seems a good starting point. That's where i would be at looking at those pictures......

Got any pictures?

Looks like a nice job there. I winched over a few edge trees today, nothing as impressive as that though.
-
Think mine is from the early 2000s and is still going strong. I like it, as much as you can like winching.

New pouch for Hi-lifts
Brushcutter replied to Andy Collins's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Pop it over to me if you can't get hold of him and I'll tell him tomorrow. -
Thanks. I'll look out for one. I have just picked up a Fransgard V6500 and going to that after years of radio remote has been hard to say the least.
-
Like your logging blade. Your own creation or can you buy them? That a radio remote winch or a manual?
