    If you hate the stretch try STIHL chain its pre streched. I find if you go old skool with Oregon chain ie tighten it for use slack it off at the end of the day the stretch issue does settle down after a while. I use solely Oregon chain 21BPX for choice.

    That's a bargain. It's the same price at the moment as getting my heating fixed.......

    I guess its to do with the oil flow through the pump at 1300rpm. Although i thought the N series were load sensing. Sorry i forgot about taking a picture of the winch. There is only 1PTO stub on the 9.5 Krpan. What is the advantage of the winch on the front? Genuinely interested as i'm in the is it worth the front PTO/Linkage debate at the moment. Why not a permanently fixed head unit that runs the cable under the belly for use out the back? As Tom said the radio remote is worth every penny it will change the way you work and its a hell of a lot safer too.

    One of a handful of times that no stress has kicked in.

    Got some info on these last year they're not cheap but reasonable priced for what they are. They can have a cat 1 linkage as an option and a 540pto all off the hydraulics.

    Big winch.
  7. Brushcutter
    What about a double drum winch head mounted on the front linkage run off the hydraulics?

    I'll check on the Krpan tomorrow to see if it has two pto stubs. It does have a wide and a narrow linkage setting. Its 9.5 tonne.

    Nokian forest tires Forest tractor - Nokian Heavy Tyres They do take a lot of abuse but they cost a lot too. I have Michelin and they do take a fair amount of abuse. However if your running over a brashmatt a lot then you need the strength of the forest tyre.

    A little overloaded?

    Saw one on the A1(M) on Thursday. I think that you'll need to talk to VOSA for a proper answer. Then keep that letter in the cab at all times.

    Good info above on front linkage winches. Remember that you'll need a 540/1000 shaft ie 21 splines tractor side 8 winch side. The do exist but they are costly. Other options are a one that runs off the hydraulics like this EV 300 Some front PTOs do go anti clockwise which makes it a hell of a lot easier to make it all work as you dont need a reverse gearbox in there too. I think Valtras do go anti on the front. Best option is to find a local person with a winch and put it on the front of your tractor. No winch suppliers i have found will bring you a demo unit so they send you to someone to see them working. Which can be miles away not useful when you want to see if it fits on the Linkage.

    Valmet 860?

    I'm sure some tractors have coded keys. I know that our Valtras have their own door lock keys. Down side if you stick one in the other enough times and turn they do eventually work. I think that a code system similar to diggers would be good for tractors. Although a padlock on the battery isolator switch is also very effective.

    Tidy looking example. Is it still being finished it seems to be missing a grab bar on the front?
  16. Brushcutter
    Pictures!!!!

    It can cost thousands and thousands and take years.

    Loppers

    Brushcutter replied to dogman's topic in General chat

    They do a 26" bypass ones that do 38mm and a 21" anvil pair that does 35mm. None of they have the fancy ratchet or gearing that our ones do it seems.

    Brushcutter replied to dogman's topic in General chat

    I use Wilkinson Sword loppers. I've got a plastic pair with a 20"ish handle and they're very very good.

    Even on a bobcat i think you may need to spend more. Tractor operator and a mulcher would be nearly twice that a day.
