  1. The reduction hubs are still available, I've just replaced one. South Cave Tractors are the UK dealers now and can get parts pretty quickly.
  2. 6.7m, about 18 months old.
  3. Mine is mega - will pick up the world! (KTS, don't know anything about the set up in this post).
  4. [ame] [/ame] Maybe this time it will work...
  5. https://www.facebook.com/CaughtOnDashcamOrCCTV?refid=17&ref=bookmarks&_ft_=top_level_post_id.10155714954395333 Not sure if this will work - if it does then get any Lycra loving lemmings that you may know to watch it...
  6. I'd feel pretty awesome to be honest, as I'd be making £20 million a year obviously!
  7. Good isn't it?!!! It's her baby, all her doing, without her none of it would have happened. She is being rewarded for that. Perfect as far as I can see, she is benefiting form the fruits of her labours.
  8. Nobody earned it for her. I don't really like jealousy - people are better of focusing on their own lives rather than sniping at those who have done well IMO. Aim high, don't wish others' success away.
  9. Those rollers look mega - almost like a branch logger on their own! The first scratch will be the worst - I'm confident your arbortrolley will ruin your day first time out...
  10. You don't know what it has added to the value of her house/the enjoyment of her property/what price she puts on privacy etc. It's her money and I think good on her for spending it in any way she sees fit.
  11. I've got one too! It will also be for sale imminently (they seem to be like London buses at the moment)...
  12. You need one of these...
  13. Cheers - I'm really pleased with it!
  14. Yeah, it's an ex military Rotzler 11.9 tonne (I think that's the correct spec, something like that anyway). The winch is from 1995 but looks like it's never been used! I had the frame and legs fabricated for it so it can be mounted front or back - it anchors really well. I needed to re spool the cable as only the tail will fit through the fair lead so I put an Iveco double cab with tracked chipper on the plant trailer behind and ford 3000 with flail mower on the floor, all with handbrakes full on (including trailer) and it dragged the lot without any apparent effort. I need some big trees in rivers to drag out and give it a proper workout now!
  15. Finally got my winch up and running - she's a bit of a beast!...
  16. Once you've tipped a couple of heavy loads it will have cleared IME. You don't tend to need to bleed air out of hydraulic systems on the pressure side of the pumps due to the high pressures involved.
  17. That looks like a real beauty! Does the trailer need it's own engine though - can't the tractor run the crane from a spool?
  18. Ahh, sorry - me being a thicko sorry!
  19. My A60 will be up for sale very soon with double drum winch, logging blade and forestry guarding. There is one very similar for sale on eArborist at the moment but it looks a bit dear to me...
  20. You need to drive faster down the lanes then!
  21. General grabber at2 are a very good all terrain, fantastic on road, ok off it.
  22. That picture is the ST - the STT is what I have and they're great mud terrains (much more aggressive than the ST). They are noisier than all terains though. The Hancock mud terrains are very good value, hard wearing and great off road but they are super noisy on road. Insa turbos are excellent off road, but we have found that they delaminate if used on the road at high speed (the lugs start flying off!). There're probably isn't a noisier tyre available either....
  23. X2 for Cooper STT - I've had 265 17s on a Navara and they've been great. BFG Muds are also very good.
  24. Kuhn VKD 155 flail mower - 1 Fuchs super dooper expensive grease gun - 0
