  1. Jealous, very jealous
  2. Compared with the mighty Nuffield, thats in good nic. If it is going into the woods i would not restore it too much. Remember when all else fails check the earth again. Have fun and enjoy
  3. I am glad that i did not see that before today, i had to use the mighty Nuffield to pull the Zetor and forwarder out of the mud. Thankfully i had the sense to take the loaded forwarder off first. Daft i may be, but stupid i is not
  4. I think your tractor will fit in that trailer.
  5. Brake cleaner will shift any oily stain
  6. There is a row of about 8 that was an old hedge bank, and this one is probably the best.
  7. I had the same problem with mine. However as mine is the winch with no name (possibly chiefton forge), the solution is probably different. The problem with mine was the friction pads had worn. The bearings that seperated the two moving parts were now acting as a spacer, and the cable drum was not in propper contact with the friction plates. From your discription i would say that a similar thing is happening to yours. Happy tinkering.
  8. Cheers for that.
  9. I like the alturnating sunlight and cloud on the first bit. If you had been really clever you would have timed the whole job with the changing sun/ cloud.
  10. I will second that, however the newer versions fabric does not seem to be as hard wearing as the old ones with the gay rainbow stiching.
  11. I have finally found out the model, it is a 2138. Where is the best place to get a pot and piston ?
  12. The trouble thar you are facing is you as a company has nothing to offer compared with existing companies. Tilhill and the F.C. have approved contractors so you are going to have to find out how to become one, which will cost you time and money. You will find it easier to start with approaching private land owners. You also need to find out where there are gaps in the market,and exploit these. Good luck
  13. What on earth do you do with that ?
  14. These have proved to be very comfey: 79X Mens Work Boots | Hard Wearing | Steel Toe Cap
  15. Done but the employer questions don't apply to the self employed. And i don't use one saw in the woods, it depends on the size of the trees i am felling.
  16. This will fit the bill, for the price i can not fault it. And it is easy to use. Drift HD 720 | Helmet Head Camera
  17. How long before the boredom sets in ?
  18. Ere that be cheap, i might have to get one. Cheap ratchet straps as well.
  19. The Zetor pulls the trailer fine, they seem to be ideally matched. The Zetor is about a ton heavier than yours, so i would not like to go down a muddy slope fully laden in yours. Rico make a 3 ton trailer with a similar crane, which might be a better match.
  20. The crane is a 3.8D, and the trailer is rated at 5 tons (i think), and it is made by Farma.
  21. You will be wanting something along these lines. Mine is pulled by the Zetor, which has 57 horses under the rusty flap that looks like a bonnet if you squint really hard.
  22. Its wild here,enjoying a nice cupatea. Bob is enjoying himself out side, loiks like he has found some lady dog wee to sample.
  23. Don't go dissing the Sycamore. It produces good firewood quickly, It harbours loads of aphids that feed a lots of hungry birds. Yes it can be a bit unruley, but the positives outway the negatives.
  24. I can understand what you are saying......... That means you are not using enough latin and long technical terms. C- , must try harder.
