Try ringing Jas P Wilsons. They should be able to tell you if you can adjust the things. I don't think you can adjust it but i'm not a 100% on that. I've only ever broken a PTO clutch and thats because someone had adjusted it to hide another problem. I think it was about a day and a half for the change that they did in the barn. Was around 2k with parts labor and fluids. Any good agri engineer should be able to do a clutch although i think that it may be easier in the workshop.

What do people think about fuel consuption on the 550/560. Not used a 560 much yet but i do think that the 550 is a thirsty fella.

Try Stretch Air Gladiators. They make a class 2 at least in an A style. I have them wish i'd got class 1. Padding is a bit thick for my liking. Not sure anybody makes a 28 m/s trousers. I think you can only get wellies in class 3. A lot of things have go wrong if you hit your saw trousers though and the saw is probably slowing down.

problem with taking a tractor and chipper to a domestic job is making it all fit. Tractor+chipper and being able to maneuver the chip truck into place is a pain on all but the largest of drives. The advantage of say a 12" chipper is that you don't have to dress anything if it's 12" across the chipper will deal with it. Downside is that you fill the chip waggon up quick and its very hard to man handle the bits in. You do loose a lot of firewood in the process though. Clearance is a different matter though you really need a crane imo to make bigger chippers worth while.

DBH Girth Tape Advice
Brushcutter replied to BackoftheWoods's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I always do it wrong first time. My DBH tape is in the car and thus too far away to go and get to work out how to do it. Basically you put one end through the ring and then rap it up anti clockwise so it coils up and the d ring is tight to the outside and it stays rolled up. -
ram that sets the break leaking? pressure valve for the drum break not set correctly Worn break band? Clutch slipping (unlikely) first 4 off the top of my head in order of likely hood assuming its an electro hydraulic winch. unusually heavy pull by any chance.

Front loader and grab wont really work for loading the brash into the chipper you really need a crane. As you have all the brash now in a pile at the front of the tractor but the chipper attached to the rear. You could mount a crane on the chipper but that gets heavy. Say 1.5t for a 12" chipper then another 500-700kg for for a crane. Well with in the say 5t of the link lift capacity but you'll feel it back there. Some of the biomass ones are trailed which will make it easier to carry but i would of thought harder to mount the crane. How big is big? 12" or 30" or somewhere in between.

Looks like over mature Norway Spruce.

Company near me had pink chippers for that very reason.
-
Plant oils' bio stuff is like glue or at least it was last time i used it a few years back. Just got a price on a drum and it isn't cheap.

Still only 1 wheel off the ground though is it:001_tongue: When you get one whole side off the ground that a wobble:lol: I like the winch. Why does it use a chain rather than wire rope. Seems strange.
-
Never seen that video some good info in there. Eastern Europe seems to be where most of the 820 seem to be now.
-
Got any more pics of the winch? I've never seen one are they any good.
-
Clenching moment for sure, although not the most shocking wobble picture i've seen.
-
What sort of size? normally goes for pallets or for kinderling
-
Bit of rot or some sort of inclusion in the top two. Red log?
-
Flail mower is what your after. I had a demo of one last year it had a roller on so you could get a nice striped finish. You could adjust the roller position to adjust the cut height. Did ok on courser material such as bracken and bramble. I'd of had two sets of flails though one for neat grass cutting and one for doing rides as its very easy to hit a log and chip a boot flail.
-
Load sensing pump sounds expensive? I take it thats a got a moving swash plate in it. Rather than a fixed gear pump. Yes to go EH you'd need a new valve bank with solinoids on top of the valves. I'd imagine that the whole lot could come from forwarder for breaking.
-
Have a look at the flow rates required for the cranes. You may need a pto pump to get the best out of them if the MB trac hydraulics aren't too powerful. Might be worth seeing the cost of full electro hydraulic as well. Adds a degree of complexity but also add massive ease of operation and increases productivity.

Is it one of the 50 series ones or even earlier than that? I learnt on a 5050 5m of reach and i with about 12 levers. Oh what a joy a 560tl with the joysticks was. Given the choice of the cranab, kesla or moheda cranes i think it would come down to who gave me the most bang for my buck as it were. They're all fantastic forestry cranes. I'd have a slight leaning towards a double extension cranab as thats what i had on an 820 i drove and it was fantasticly quick and smooth. If its a parallel moheda crane i'd be put off as despite their increasing popularity i really think parallel is better suited to harvesting rather than forwarding.

It just seems really bad on these new hi tech saws though. Nothing like the amount in the 346 and 372.
-
My 550 and 576 all seem to let a fine dust through the filter to see in the throat of the carb. Done it since new i don't think they're short a seal. I do wonder if its worth getting a black filter rather than a yellow one. I think they're a finer mesh.

I see a lot of aw jenkins trucks around Hemel & St. Albans for the last month or so.

Second hand is your only option and expect to pay for it as they're always in demand.

Brushcutter replied to arniecardigan's topic in General chat
Well they've dropped 8k off.
