Cheers Eddie.

I can't find any info on those Sany cabbed minis anywhere. Where did you hear about them Eddie?
-
I think it is some sort of rhyming slang to do with dogging...
-
To be honest I think I misread your original post. I thought you said you managed to pick up the damaged winch for free (ie you didn't pay anything for it). Rereading it I realise that isn't what you wrote, you are actually saying that you managed to free it off and don't allude to what it cost you. My bad, sorry! Either way, they look like a decent winch if they can be had for the right money!!!

No leaves here mate.

So your mate robbed you (which you are bitter about), and you then robbed someone else (which you are pleased about)...

I know the early ones had clutch issues if used for towing (I guess I was lucky there) and they all have 4wd switch issues (easy fix, poor design tbf). I love them though, mine have all been worked hard (not really abused - I change oil and filter every 6k and keep them relatively clean/don't damage bodywork/carry livestock in the cab etc). My new one will do 30mpg on mixed driving, does 125mph, tows 3.5tonnes legally (and easily), and is a very nice thing to drive. IMO there isn't another vehicle as good out there (if there was I'd be driving it).

I've had no issues of note over 10 years and am on my 4th Navara. Big J - I reckon you must have bought the worst Nissan ever built (super unlucky!).

Top service from global and farmi forest

What speed does that motor spin? Do you still have decent line speed? Will it stall/blow off? I'm assuming it's a similar motor to the one Eddie set up, but an excavator runs at higher pressures than your tractor I think. -
Sounds good!

Bang hornbeam in for the hedge, it'll grow in poor ground and looks almost identical to beech winter and summer. As suggested, get a design/plan and buy trees and shrubs to fit. Fruit trees are a great idea (but avoid anything prickly!).
-
Do this if you have a front linkage and spool - you will not get a better set up for the money IME. That is a bargain!

We had a rope go into a Greenmech 1928 Safetrak - it stalled the chipper and made a right mess inside (ripped the bearing out of the rotor). Fortunately nobody injured, but it happened incredibly fast.

Anyone in Cheshire wanting rid of Arb timber waste

No probs. For free or for money? -
With that radio remote, would boom up/boom down be 1 function or 2 functions?

Do you take chip? -
Autocorrect on this site changed that from capitals... Jon must have had an autocorrect bypass!

Not enough shouting

It can also be an occasion where using a chainsaw in the tree whilst only attached with one anchor point is sensible.

Don't forget spill kits and bio oil.

Severe Storm due in Norway/Denmark/Sweden
monkeybusiness replied to TRADITIONAL LOGGERS's topic in The Lounge
Could be correct - they were predicting 20m waves off Scottish coasts during the storms of the last few days!!! -
I thought Bandit/Global were supposed to be the dogs danglies- this is very poor on their part. My limited dealings with them was very positive - your story here seems out of character and unbelievably poor. I agree with Steven Blair - I've only ever been shafted in business when I've been too soft with companies and people. Be firm with them and don't rule out walking away from the deal - from your account they wouldn't have a leg to stand on under the sale of goods act. I can't believe there isn't another manufacturer offering a machine that will do your job - maybe start exploring other options elsewhere.

I'd ebay it and buy a cheap (but equally good) winchmax. Been there, done that. The Warn will still pull half decent money in non working order, and I've yet to break a winchmax (even though the ones we have get punished pretty regularly).
-
Looks good! I guess you have a 750kg limit over there too then?
-
I moved over to these after reading about them on here (probably from you Tom!). What a revelation they are - so so much better than the more traditional system. Paired with a G coupler greasing is actually enjoyable - that is another great invention! The only issue with it is that some recessed nipples are in too small a hole for the coupler to get into - I have just bought another make of lock on quick coupler from my local Ag dealer (it was on the counter and looked really good so I had no choice...) - I can't remember the make off the top of my head and I haven't actually used it yet but it is only the same size as a normal coupler and has a pull-back locking mechanism so you don't need to hold it on to reluctant nipples...
