I like the look of extending legs for bankside work and unloading off your truck with pissing around with ramps. Looks very good specs, shame your not in our area.
-
That'll have a nice little price tag to it, had a 32m tracked in not long ago and had to insure it for 110k and it came on a low loader. Looking forward to seeing some pictures when it arrives.

Wasn't old enough to really care at the time but how different would the approach to dealing with the problems caused be now, would all the beurocrasy we deal with as a given normality now go out the window so we could just deal with it or would every site need an induction, rams and environmental impact assessment. (this isn't a did at those just thinking out loud) The firewood market would take a hammering with the availability of downed timber needing to be shifted. I guess with chippers being far more widely available big fires would be a lot less likely and more of the arisings would be reclaimed as a result. I'd also like to see how some people would cope with the transport delays in today's must get there now society as I've seen 1st hand the anger and frustration a single tree blocking a road causes to someone wanting to be past.

Really intended more for forestry when you are more likely to be moving around a lot and need stuff with you and not arb where your generally near the van and any stuff you need.
-
That's a really nice looking mb, get some more pictures up, only driven 1 for a day and always said I'd have another 1 day
-
It is in a completely different league like Hope he won't mind me posting pictures of his machine.
-
Not too many people make pto grinders especially for the UK, best I've seen is arbworx FAE machine but I think you'll be talking 15k for 1 like that!
-
Some one has spent a lot of time on this one, looks tidy but the proof is in the trying, bottom end of the hp I'd say but a heavy stable tractor that can be tweaked up a bit if needed.
-
They were never the heaviest on the front end, when I was a apprentice we had a 1490 4x4 on the estate as a winch tractor, so I learned to steer on the brakes very quickly.
-
Can see by your front tires why you need it, a little on the. Light side
-
Only good for 20-50hp and unless you have a hydrostatic drive tractor in that hp range you will knacker your clutch quit quickly or have a rather sore left knee very quickly, wouldn't fancy trying to take on a big stump with it as you'd be limited by having to reverse almost onto it with 1 wheel and getting a big build up of grindings on the same side.
-
Was looking at this earlier today matty as though it would be very useful for exactly what you are describing and with the crane at the back it'd be able to reverse into somewhere and clear up as it go's https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F132343216811

Bet that 5th wheel pin was under a bit of pain pulling that lot!
-
Carnt beet this as you'll never run out of fuel on a tree job for it. Got same as picture but also got the bigger twin hob version for family camping trips, boils water far faster than any normal gass stove and can be controlled very easily. Soup, stew, curry, bacon and eggs, chilly like Steve said a nice Aldi steak which is still cheaper than a service station soggy sandwich and a lot nicer in crusty bread.

What area of concern do you see at your work today?

So are ones who can keep a saw sharp! -
Nice trailer Valtra lend themselves to having cranes mounted on them with good hydraulics, long frames, low center of gravity and turning seats as standard, I'd personally always want 6 pots with a min 130hp something in the 8000 range would do nicely without being rediculous priced although the larger ones still hold the money.

Some serious flair on this sycamores stump
-
Interesting end to the day, winching a split ash back away from a road in the dark, council wouldn't let us leave it till daylight. It fair broke up when it hit the deck but no tidy up [emoji106]
-
Build the business strong enough so I can run it not be it, that and part time training and accessing.
-
It gets more use than I thought it would when I got it and recently I've thought it will be good to combine it with the bandit winch to shift big chunks of brash or timber without it digging into lawns or getting covered in mud. I'd hate to think how many times we have decided not to bother taking it as it's a pain to transport then wished we had it, but now it rides for free and is there when needed.
-
Steel floor notched out for forwarding trailer to make wedging in small awkward bits easier and easier to carry the pto chipper to site on occasions.
-
Bit of a workshop day today, added a storage box and somewhere to store/transport the arbor-trolley out of the way.
-
Some really big gusts about 5 this morning, tree was in a poor state so not surprising. Winch power made things a bit easier.
-
Nice start to the day, at least it's daylight
