  1. Think that would just ask for problems, probably get 1 of those big block multi connectors like what front loaders have but would cost a fortune. Still undecided about roof mount as both have pros and cons and still working out which fits how we work best. If I was going roof mount I'd want a little more reach from the TL570 as I have the older 5060 at moment. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Wounder if I can come up with something like that but uses anti loos pins that slot through some holes then flip up nd lock. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Unfortunately not my machine but had it available to use till the lad who's machine it is got more and more work of his own. Eventually would like to put 1 on this valtra which is why I went for a newer bigger model. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. That's tidy and how the roofmount I use is mounted but trying to work out how to easily take them off again when swapping between gear on the back. Do you take your trailer off often or it it fairly dedicated to forwarding work? Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. Emmm not sure why you have a picture of that so readily to hand to share 🤔 Did think a decent warning sticker might be enough Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Looking for ideas for a better way to hang forwarder controls on tractor so please share how you have done yours. The hook over bars were fine on massy but put levers quite far back on valtra which means leaning forward quite a bit, still more comfortable than twisting in massy but could definitely be better.

  7. I have recently changed tractor to a valtra that has front links which has allowed me to carry a timber winch on the front but this then obscures the lights. I can flip the headlights from nose to top of cab on a dash switch but now do I need to have some marker lights on the front of the winch? Was thinking something magnetic...

  8. Happy new year eggs. Ha ha believe me after paying for that lot you are bud belive me! Between that lot Christmas and a week in lapland with the kids my bank balance is looking incredibly sorry for itself! Thank goodness for Christmas day call outs 😜 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Looks better since I resprayed the gray flaky mesh on bonnet black. Just need some guarding round that nose now. Might have to ask this in a different thred but anyone know what the score is with the winch covering the front lights. I can flip the headlights off at the nose and over to cab top ones with a dash switch but now do I need some sort of marker lights, say magnetic ones on front of winch?

  10. Driven plenty of ford and roadless county conversion but don't think I've ever seen a international conversion before Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Mounted up and been out working Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. I'd have thought so looking at way front drive is set up. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. This is a interesting tractor but I think he's a bit hopeful on the price Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142220907903 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. Not seen those before, look very well built. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. A what chipper? Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. Cheers shavey, nice little review. Did consider having a look at the kelfri 10" which look a copy of the farmi. https://www.kellfri.co.uk/chipper-220-hydraulic-infeed Not stupid money really. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Think that was actually a few weeks ago but sad all the same Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Problem I found by putting a hitch on the bridge is it was inside the D's so if you twisted 1 direction the ring hit it and let your bridge lengthen which could be a unnerving experience if you were not expecting it. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. You got 1 johny? Looks a bit more occasional use than pro use, am I wrong to look at it like that? Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Oooo that's interesting, will see what's in piggy bank at end of financial year as thought for a long time 1 of those would suit quite a bit we do especially with those being 2T and the larger having a decent pull! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Yeh, strange bloke from what I've seen on TV but his stuff is really interesting to look at. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. You want to get up to Newcastle with Oscar to centre of life to see the animal's, just going round with my two and finding seeing inside fascinating. Not long left as finishes on 8th Jan. Planetarium is impressive with curved scree above you showing planets and comments collide. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. I'll take a picture of my 1 and post a picture up tomorrow if I go to yard for you. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. A timber insert would last me about a year if I was very lucky but had the plastic 1 for about 3 years now and apart from annoyingly bouncing out the alloy it's almost indestructible. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. Always preferred these https://www.clarkforest.com/shop/forest-garden/splitting-wedges/ochsenkopf-aluminium-massive-wedges But if you like the hilift put these nylon inserts instead of the wood and they last far longer https://www.clarkforest.com/shop/forest-garden/felling-wedges/plastic-handle-for-high-lift-wedges Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
