Deere John Forestry !
Brushcutter replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I've got a picture of a JD hydraulic pipe that runs along the top of the boom then goes to hoses to the rotor. A replacement from Deere was 1800 odd euros!! -
How things Will?

How many hours have you done? I'd be careful lifting the cab up in case you stretch all the wiring looms and then you'll have faults all over the place. Is it a gear box leak coming from the seal behind the propshaft?
-
I'm sure there is a round figure of eight type thing with a tail coming off of the middle.

Had a demo of one a while ago. It's an old school saw lots of torque and grunt rather than the quick power of the 560. Its more like a 365 than a 560. I did like it a lot but i didn't think the AV system was all that.
-
I do think it looks odd. Maybe it is the tyres that make it weird. I wouldn't of put such a large crane up on the roof and i'd not put it on a 150 either. I've seen similar sized harvester cranes mounted on the JAKE plate on smaller tractors though. i'd have a tank on the front of valtra or you will run out hydraulic. Especially if you go out 9m and you're slightly uphill.
-
where abouts i don't see it.
-
I should of got your old one when it was up for sale rather than dither till it went. Of course i could continue to wait for a 8050/8100 with a Jake mounted crane which is even rarer than a roof mounted one.

VALTRA T150 HI TEC C/W FESLA FORESTERI 400 25 METRE CRANE WITH ROTATING LOG GRAB (YEAR 2006) This has be kicking around since Christmas. Out of my price range but looks like a solid set up. I think it's a Caladonian conversion looking at way the crane is mounted that and its a kelsa.

Price: POA = expensive
-
Any reason you made your cage out of round rather than box? Abundance of scaffold poles? Does it 3125 cope well with the mulcher or is it a slow affair? Questions aside that is a bomb proof bit of guarding.

Now I wonder if you can get a job lot of do not exceed 32kph on the public highway stickers for next to nothing now:lol:
-
Good point it would be much easier to do on a CVT gearbox. Just oil flow to manage just a bit more electrics to shove in. Once you get reverse drive it becomes so useful. Downside is that if you have a rather long tractor and your not paying attention to your nose when turning in the woods you do bash it around a bit:blushing:
-
Its an option called Twin Trac. It's about 5k ish on a new Valtra now. As far as i know its an extra idler in the gear box so you can go as fast backwards as forwards. Link up to the power steering etc. You can if you want to throw money at it do it as an after market conversion but its very expensive as its a split down job.

Duffy Skylining had a good write up in the FCA mag a little while ago.
-
Claas Xerion or Axion. You'd need to change the seats as the one i looked at didn't spin around. Lots of HP though. I know a few people who run forestry Fendts mainly for mulchers rather than chippers.
-
What about a used Fendt?
-
Thirsty like most Valtras. I saw the new series at SIMA this week. They're getting closer to farm tractors now rather than forest.
-
Any good quality Lithium based grease will do. I use JCB HP grease mainly because its easy to get hold of. I've also been known to use a graphite grease but that is thick sticky stuff, that normally goes in hard to reach places as it takes a long time to come out.

Stumping=wasted wood thus was felled too high in the first place.

STUMPS:thumbdown:

That would be 200 quid well spent.

Just like all Husky products............its done when its done.

Welcome to the minefield of big winch blocks. I've been looking for a 20 tonne block that fits a 13/14mm rope. Nothing i've found comes close. They also weigh loads making them impractical to lug into the woods. Of course you put a 20tonne bock on a basketed 10t sling to a 20 tonne shackle onto the block. Now of course you have to then find an anchor point that is rated to 20 tonne. Oh wait trees aren't rated.......
-
I think it would work out too heavy by the time you put a log grab or pallet forks on it. The 3pl is only a cat one so it limits what you can put on it. Oh they're a big chunk of money too.
