  1. That was I good chill tune to eat my breakfast to mull 👍 Two from a band I'm liking at the moment Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Oooo that's a bigun for sure Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

  4. Little but annoying, clutch blew apart on 560xp half way into a back cut. Thankfully a dead saw at the yard had the perfect part still intact to fix it. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. Possibly but I struggled to find 1 and so did rob d so for a few more quid just changed the drum then it's easy all the time to get a new rim should 1 bust. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Nope you have to change the clutch drum as well as the 325 and 3/8 sprocket centre's are different sizes. Channged both 560s over and ordered the 550 to come with it as means I have 6 saws all running the same size chain so get reals and make up to suit which works out a fair bit cheaper.

  7. Back in the woods today on a half blown clear fell working next to a harvester cutting root plates and dropping the oversized and incredibly heavily branched edge trees. That's a 372xp with 20" on top. Some interesting regrowth on some of the blown trees Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. Fantastic work, always fancied doing something similar. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Guess it'd be easy enough to tow trailer with dumper and put a divert off the tipping circuit to power the crane, Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. Role over bar is just that it's not falling object protection or strictly role over protection it's just to prevent the machine rolling over completely onto the driver. If your going onto construction sites you'll definitely get pulled up on it as I've seen countless dumper drivers getting a telling for remaining in the seat while the machine is loaded by an excavator as they are completely exposed. I think your concept is good and it should be a capable little machine, just wouldn't want you sinking a whole bunch of money and time into it to find you couldn't use it.

  11. I think a bigger problem could be that a 5 ton dumper has no rops fops cab so if your operating the crane from an unprotected position you should have check valves on the crane so should a pipe burst it won't come crashing down on you and also should have 6monthly lola checks. Would be far easier to get a giant like bobs and Base it on that as it's a bit bigger and more stable already with protective cab already, two for sale on eBay at moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182442374456 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

  15. Not actually got final price yes as got it on a demo to try and give feedback for them. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. It's the fact you don't have to go back to it to take the cable out to change direction that is the saving factor for us poor buggers who can't get remote controls to play with 😜 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. New addition to the winch was sent out by farmi yesterday A self releasing snack block to redirect the winch line. Should be very useful in the windblown sites we are working as getting a direct line pull has been proving impossible to get big leader's down. Hopefully get some video over the next week or so.
