Cracking Idea, got some old tracks lying around that I was wondering what to do with
-
Best rake is brush I'd say on grass , our rake is just way too aggressive so going to be making something like this for it too.
-
And it'll probably be still running long after the valtra has been broken for parts!
-
She's a beast of a powerplant, frequently think the stress control has packed up on the Schliesing when she's running it as it takes some slowing and plays with the Tri Accel no matter what we put on it down Not looking forward to replacing the tyres within the next 6 month's. Probably going to look at a slightly more road biased tread as that's where she spends most of her time.
-
Not this one, came from a dealer about 7months ago. She is guarded underneath although 1 plate is missing which I'll get round to making one eventually and is reverse drive which is fun.

What's the return line from the saw . You really need a free flow return for it. Out of interest what saw have you fitted and what are you planning to use it for, need to be careful on compliancy at the moment because these are going through a very serious health and safety review at the moment with chain speed and chain shot/risk zones being the major focus.

Not often we get both tractors in the same picture but when the break's fail on one it's the other to the rescue. Just some others of big blue posing
-
Get a similar affect when I occasionally pack our rotating telehandler up facing backwards so back becomes forwards left - right which is fun with 4 wheel steering.

Just been struggling to get one of my lads a test and even 2 weeks ago when I spoke to them they were saying December-Jan so obviously they didn't know this was coming. I'm still tempted to send him for a couple of hrs training with the guy I had lined up for the lessons. I can definitely see a rush on small companies selling up the sub 750kg machines in favour of 8" machines. I can see a lot of people being stopped towing heavy loads with inappropriate vehicles like trying to shift a 3t excavators with a Nissan Juke because they know no better. What I'd really like to see is the 3.5t vehicle limit being put to 5.2t as new vehicles are getting heavier with less carrying capacity and are so much easier to drive than when I started driving LDV's and smiley face transits.

It's orange I'll have you know... [emoji12] 30m³ when the lids on and you can really pack the chip in with no mess. Lovely big flotation rubber on her which I'm not looking for to the day it needs replacing. When the chipper isn't on it it's not too long to get swung into gateways compared to those long low rootcrop trailer's but it is high and often requires a bit of crown raising to get in
-
Max 540 but that's not saying you have to run it at that speed constantly
-
That's definitely the ideal winch if you have front PTO but for us poor buggers that don't the motor conversation is the next best thing, definitely going to look into the mixer option. Vary rarely do we ever want or need the winch running at 540 as this can lead to a lot of snatching and shocking which ultimately results in something breaking.
-
Best to have a chat with flowfit as motor we used has disappeared off the market, I'm going to have to do the same as 4 years of hard work on two winches have eventually taken its toll and just about knackered the motor
-
Really like the concept of those hydrodigs, so efficient on roadside stuff
-
If I remember correctly about 1800kg so had plenty of capacity left for the reach of this lift.
-
No, unfortunately he just didn't seem to have time to do one as concentrating on the smaller machines. Had Mark Jibson Engineering make it for me in the end with a few tweaks to make it fit and follow the cab lines a bit tighter.
-
Few little upgrades for the E85, some beautifully designed guarding fitted to help keep the glass in 1 piece and radiator hole free and then we have gone and blown a whole wodge of cash on a GMT 35 with total tree control for it to speed up and make safer felling a lot of skinny tall roadside ash we are dealing with at the moment.
-
A few from last week taking out a beech with a compromised root system and a rather large pipe of a sycamore
-
That's the one Then had to put it all together again to get it back to the workshop to take it apart again
-
Not really. Pulled one apart and put a new start and clutch in it in about 4hrs. The hardest part is setting up the little cone's in the engagement cam, if I remember correctly a good description is in the handbook if you have it, no specialist tools needed just a extra pair of hands to lift the drum out
-
Would love one of those on our valtra [emoji1305]

When access is bad bit you have a Roto [emoji16]

Where abouts in North Yorkshire? We may have a decent amount of timber coming from a job.
