D40 fuel filter nissan part £70. Can find ones similar for about 8 quid. Think my replacement was about 35 quid.
-
The lesson for today is as soon as a vehicle give you trouble ditch it. Yet again this money pit of a Navara is costing me a fortune.
-
Ouch I doubt i'd be able to drive something 8'long and 5' wide around the roads near me. I'd get wedged between all the poor parking.
-
4 tonne at a guess would be bottom end. You'd be better with a 6 cylinder tractor so you have a longer chassis to counter the leaverage of the crane.

How much does a F350 weigh? Must be much space for cargo on a standard cat B licence?
-
Mine wont get looked at till Friday as the garage is busy. If it is the turbo then i may take you up on your kind offer.
-
One broken Navara with nothing wrong with it is enough for me thank you. I'd look at the fuel filter though. They use this weird piped up canister one that seems to block up easily.
-
Mine would get like this almost in a limp mode or just stall for no reason. Didn't throw up any faults on the computer either Fuel filter change and a good flush through with good quality injector cleaner. Premium diesel for a tank or two. Good oil that will work with the DPF if you have one. Simple things but seems to work very very well. Mine is currently in the garage with a strange noise that i think is the turbo dying. After 3 months of trying to find a replacement the bloody thing has broken again.....Bloody Navaras getting another one though.....

Unimog chipper and a mower? Best of both worlds?

Do you have somewhere to store it and all the extras such as trailer chipper etc and somewhere to put a diesel tank for it. Tractors are expensive and there is no one size fits all for them. If your arb based being a climber would a 360 with a grapple be a better bit of kit. Mowing work such as paddock maintenance often has more travel time than mowing time.

What to do with brash on a forestry job when you

If you have a front end loader push it all up into a heap and burn it. If you don't you can row it up with the butt plate of the winch but be careful not to take a big scalp out out of the ride. You could mulch it with a mulcher but that has a cost. Best way is to try and fell everything into the block, not always possible i know. Brash on the rides is best kept in big bits then moved or you make a lot of mess. Move it to where you want to windrow pile or burn it then cut it up. -
Neptune 5 here. Had issues with it but oh boy will it cut through a layer of baked on oil and mud. Goes up to 120 degrees.

Are the cloud berry out yet? I use to love eating them best bit about MT sites... -
Spend the extra 80 quid and get an xpg, your hands will thank you in the future. My vote is for the 550. I have 2

It's nice but only one tractor has furrow presses. Do all 3 or not at all.
-
You've got a PM.

Charlie that is an amazing bit of kit its a baby big boy skidder. I'm very jealous.
-
Yes it is, look at Trima and quickie for after market loaders. Just need a sub frame and brackets that will fit the Deutz.
-
Deutz tractors are nice places to be apart from the assault on the eyes of multi co loured knobs and leavers . The only downside is they don't hold their money as well as the big brands.
-
I'd of thought a Trima headstock would be Euro at the headstock end. However i have found these brackets Trima Loader Brackets (Pair)

Forestry Act 1967 as amended gives exemption for: Felling fruit trees, or trees growing in a garden, orchard, churchyard or designated public open space (eg. under the Commons Act 1899). Always worth a measure though just for your own records.

Not had a go with the new 372. Had a few 372 and the 365 too. Then got a 576xp and a 576xpg later both no autotune Only had one problem with an early 576 where it put hole in the crank case. Husky replaced it and upgraded it to auto tune as well. Loved the saw very nice to use a bit easier on the ears and hands too. Had 18, 20 and 24 inch bars to for it. Beast on an 18 quality chugger on a 24. Nicely balanced with a 20" on it. Problem is unless you need the 20-24" bars then the 560 with an 18" on is really just as good.
