    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

    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.

    Strange growth found in a conifer today where a poplar branch has absorbed and grown around the branches of its neighbour Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Cheers bud, I'll take that compliment. Geordie born, Yorkshire bred, strong in the arm, make do and mend as my old man says. I'll let you know if it all falls apart on 1st job out next week [emoji15] Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Well made a bit of effort and got on with the project again made some extensions which fit and work well and give the pto shaft a comfortable overlap and even gave it a blast over with some paint to hide the years of being stood outside, with valtra on running about 750 chips like wild and fair pulls timber in with hardly any rpm drop on tractor.

    Got a video to put together on the winch itself and a few modifications i have made so it works in our normal setup Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Interesting, sorry to hear of a death but not being morbid but would be interesting to know more details. How come in large tree felling including fc sites I believe it's exeptable if not encouraged to have a wedge man present to assist in the felling of the trees? Would also like to see a winch that can carry 60m of cable to keep it out the danger zone which for most of this site would have ment placing it off site. One thing that makes our working a bit safer and far more efficient is being in open Mike contact so can talk through as working so everyone can be aware of what is going on.

    Ow yes, though I'd just specified you but if iv excluded matty as well I'd better have a look at the settings when I get home and reset 😜 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Latest video in forestry mode for a change, contracting in to deal with trees to big for the harvester or on the steep hard to access sections of a site. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Never found they helped with traction on a banking but ment you could travel up at an angle without falling over which made it easier for the machine to climb. On wet ground it ment the front didn't sink at all and really made a big difference to general ground damage being avoided but turning without unlocking 1 side was slightly harder to do. Only got stuck 1ns bad enough I couldn't wrestle it out myself by hand but I think no matter what machine you had it would have got stuck in that spot without boards down and anything bigger would have taken more getting back out. Had seen a picture of a 252 that had been converted to tracked by mounting on a large Barrow undercarriage which looked a really good idea and could be a lot cheaper than getting a whole new machine should you decide that's the way to go.
