    CITB Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme. Have just returned from 2 day training course, there seems no easy way to get it, ie as in cscs, other than having to do the 2 day course with continual assessment, short paper exercise at end of day 1, a toolbox talk and tick box questionnaire requiring a minimum correct score at the end of the course. I understand average pass rate is approx. 90%

    If you are pricing Jake then it will be worth considering the addition of the belly, tank forestry guards , the protection offered is good, I think they call it armour kit

    (Had a good look at the one on his own Valtra at the weald woodfair and that had a decent sized Farmi Crane mounted and had legs ) I saw this and took pic of detail of leg I att. pic

    yep solid can be less troublesome! silicon grease can help a bit! ( with crane that is) its a right ### when you try to park the crane to get home and it wont!!

    Pictures Oh wait a bit! ( you’ve seen them before) Forgot to say if you are buying new, care the decimal point moves across a bit, you can have valtra built with jake plate supplied as I understand the factory is next to valtra, also be careful to find out about the controls for operating the crane, there is a lot of difference between electronic proportional and manual types and in-between, some valtra have enough flow and pressure to run a crane from the tractor hydraulic system but be warned !! it is safer to have a separate / independent system

    Both our valtra’s have patu cranes mounted on jake frames, lower centre of gravity but less rear vision, supplied by Jim @ Caledonian forestry, mark at A T Osborne’s likes to add to the system that fixes the demount part as he has experienced them coming loose, we have 1 that stays solid and 1 older that needs bolts tightening regularly

    Yes it is the best way to sharpen, Coolant and angle very important, don’t try to rush it.

    1. I had a brother inlaw work with me once and he got stuck with a black thorn, although we and he could see no thorn remaining ( quite often a little triangular bit breaks off the end and stays behind ) a similar swelling and great pain was experienced, his finger looked like a big cooked cheap sausage! Orrible. He was prescribed antibiotics by his GP but took a few days to subside. Good luck in getting it sorted . ps if any one can suggest gloves that do work, even when wet, for thorn, berberis pyracantha etc. please tel us .

    I am tempted to say that as a machine to complement small log business this would be a good investment, the question is a little bit like ‘what have Romans ever done for us’ . a 100hp+ tractor with usable 3 point linkage fitted with a forestry loader and guarding could help extract timber & firewood from site deliver it to your yard, could power and load processor with wood you could not handle by hand and possibly load the finished product into your transport, you may be able to offer your services to local woodland owners and benefit in getting a supply of cord wood at preferential rates, the tractor its self can also be used for any of the tasks usually carried out by tractors and may supply an additional income stream, all this and more especially if it was sold for the above price even if it did not work out for you you could sell it for a profit!

    luv the next vid on!!

    Shame I’ve just winched our dead 8000 onto the back of a lorry today to be fixed ! . I think if I’d have seen this at auction it would be in my yard not where it is now. Where was it auctioned?
  23. arbwork
    Valtra 8100 ? Used Valtra 8100 this may be the answer
  24. arbwork
    ditto above + fatal error for last day or so trying to log on

    Forgot to mention you may need to use weight at rear of mog if using front mount chipper to balance the unit unless you have rear mounted implement
