put some pictures in my album of the lower chassis build, you can see where the ram mounts are, i mounted the pump behind that on a braced up plate.

really easy mate, the tip frame and lift frame are from a written off transit i brought on ebay, i made it 4 ft shorter and 6 inches narrower and with 40 quids worth of box section to make the subframe to mate it to the hilux mounting points. because its a shortened frame the ram is right at the front so will lift 2 ton easily.
lights are the transit ones i mounted on angle brackets from the subframe. all in all cost me 300 quid and a few evenings to build.
if u want any build pics just let me know

try farm sales for old bale elevators, or fruit / veg grading equipment as most have a similar rubber belt set up as a processor. alot of the time they can be brought quite cheaply if farms are upgrading

i just blame the kentish seaside air............ responsible for many a strange thing!

i regularly have a tractor and flail on hire due to the large amounts of agri fencing i do, and like has said before the cut is only as good as the operator. we mainly use a 5ft rotary head combined with 30ft of reach make hedges easy work and providing its a nice dense hedge you can make it look as tho its cut by hand. one of my customers has hundred or so acres of orchard and supplies sainsburys with fruit, they have 30ft double rowed leylandi all the way round as windbreaks......those are all machine cut but have the apperance of being cut by hand
-

it was for sale on there recently.... made 12k or so. i think thats a bit dodgy as the photos from the old ad were used. also the previous owner was located only a few miles from me and i havent seen the tractor about recently

i had same problem with my 528. both blades snapped thru outer bolt hole. i scrape the blade seat clean and wire brush it before refitting so i knew it wasnt down to that, blade bolts were nice and tight but when looking in comparison to my other blade sets they were alot thinner so i put it down to that as i have never had a blade failiure since then on my alternate blade sets
-

saw a strange way of hedgelaying in ireland once, definately not pretty in any way but they would partially sever stems with saw blade mounted on tractor hedgecutter then with a 360 excavator and bulking bucket they would beat the hedge down to a pulp. looked terrible but after seeing results of previous years efforts it wasnt too bad
-
common term used in agriculture, look on any new tractor literacture and it generally lists the amount of spool valves the machine will have
-
