Going well and definitely a good decision to get the st8 for its hungry appetite for eating everything we give it! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Definitely not! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

You got more than we did, really miss having much these days, so glad I got a snow fix on holiday before Christmas. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Not today but some from this week Two valtras working together getting a few more oak sticks out for a client on an ongoing job. A few from Wednesdays storms And a massive spruce rootplate to get back in its hole so soldiers don't fall down the hole on some training grounds Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Thanks Eddie, good call talking to Andy, he was spot on helpful at killworth about the hydraulics. It's not as fast as the pto at back as I run that in 1000 At tickover it's slow but increase rpm to around 1600 and it's around a walking speed so respectable enough to pull a tree over or a few bits within reach as the slower line speed is easily made up for in the time saved having to take the botex off and swap round but like I said if I was on a lot of skidding work I'd swap it onto the back shaft.

Little modifications done, fully functional on front of tractor a still retains full pulling capacity. 👍 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Bonus is, undo two bolts and the motor slips off, put normal pto on and swap onto back of tractor and run it in 1000 and you have a fast skidding winch with tractor running just off tickover. Managed to pull this oak ok so should be up to self recovery. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Farmi forestry winch converted to hydraulic which will drag valtra and trailer, not got proper stuck YET to try it fully but also makes a good dozer for clearing a way in. Just over 3k for the lot. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

You'll be luck to life a winch on and off the size you'll need to pull a mog. Ok to swap about in yard but not on site and definitely not lift onto a locker to store! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Valtra are easy, switch on dash turns them off and flips up to cab lights that are Road friendly with high and low beam controlled on stork same as fronts, also found a handy little plug behind bonnet that comes live when you do this where I can plug in the marker lights.👍 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

That's steep for digger, about 260 - 300 round here. A little loader has less wear parts than a chipper so possibly slightly cheaper to run but depends on chipper how it compares on purchase price. Think about the same really. Better to price on job as could get same money in less time as quite specialist bit of gear with not so many around. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yes, bloody hopeless, either went off nowhere near where I intended or line got snarled round the end and went nowhere. Tryed tieing the line to a tennis ball which worked better for directional and released better but was lethal bouncing around the crown and not heavy enough to come down, went back to just lobing the ball for the dog with it.

That is interesting, always quite liked the 252 as being a nice simple machine which if you want can tackle a decent sized stump but lacked traction especially on slopes tracked 1 would make it really usable especially as it looks quite narrow. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Oooo did you get the 404 from Rob as not spotted that yet and might be good on 088 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Running a 28 and have to agree with you on sprocket size but if you fit skip chain it's got less teeth but because it keeps the speed up seems to cut quicker. Not done anything timed scientific tests so it's only my perspective, added bonus is less to sharpen when you hit something aswell Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

I'd plug for a 390 with skip chain and a 8pin sprocket, keeps the chain speed up and the vibes down, plenty of grunt without being to heavy so as far as I'm concerned the best combo unless you really need big grunt but that limits how long you can realistically use it for. I have a 660 but prefer the husky every time as so much smoother in use. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
