  1. OK so far so good but now hit a snag and a big 1 at that, not enough room for the pto! 24" between tips of shafts on tractor and chipper which leaves not much room for overlap on pto. Any idea's anyone? Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Nice, keep pictures coming as you get it done 👍 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

  5. What size motor did you use on your skidding winch unit Eddie as contemplating putting 1 on my farmi 501 so it can go on front links on valtra, I've got 76lpm at 196bar apparently, just for times when I've got trailer on aswell bit need to winch something within reach at a decent speed or tip a tree over but still swap it onto the back for more serious skidding work.

  6. If you drop into Sam turners and go to machine dep and ask for Steve, he will probably have them and direct you up to his place just out of town. Or go to northdale which is Yafforth Rd, Northallerton DL7 0LQ, people with learning difficulties who will use the stuff. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Is that what they are short leading up near ribblesdale? Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. Sure do, wouldn't run all 4x4's if I didn't like playing off road 😉 Tractors a beast and just plays with that trailer compared to the poor old massy which managed but just wasn't quite big enough. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Big hedge removal, unfortunately it's across 2 fields that are wet and extremely slippy, ended up towing the RB and landy in thismorning with the valtra then short leading the whole trees over to the fenceline where we could get the chipper and deal with them, also very handy being able to grab the top of the one's overhanging the gardens and just pick them up once cut off. Total mud pie time getting out tonight with both vehicles needing tractor help again to get out. Back again tomorrow for more wallowing Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. Oooo nice! That looks like it can produce some tonnage in a shift! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. For those of us not on facebook can you share what's so exciting please Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Should be it's off the front of a big mog so should be able to take the hp. Easy to remove by undoing the 4 bolts and slide it of the shaft then in can go on the front of the tractor once I can afford to have a front pto fitted. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Got a bit more done last two evenings, chipper bolted down in place, shaft adapter on, gearbox on and support bars for it welded in and bolted and some tie straps twisted and bolted in to hold the a frame a bit more. Changed the filter and oil now just got to make up the new pto shaft with overrun on 1 end and shear bolt on other so hopefully by end week I'll have it spun up nd found any problems with the chipper itself but hopefully non will show up.

  20. When valuing a piece of equipment for insurance should I be quoting it as inclusive or exclusive of vat (I am vat registered) Just got a quote for new tractor insurance and it gave the value of the machine to be payed out as excluding vat is this correct?

  21. Got to admit to being a cutter who chased the money and went arb but as some have said I'm now a true Arborist with severe and irreversible forestry tendency's. Don't think rates these days are really much better than 20years ago when I started unless your in really big stuff but not much of that is left and even less is cut because the mills don't want it. What is the rates these days anyway for comersial production cutting, we are out of that and tend to just get some estate pretty forestry cutting these days.
