    yeah there good there type a but they seem very hard wearing far better down the fronts than hiflexs when i caught them on a sharp bit of metal that would have shreded my hi flexs i went base over apex and there was a hole no bigger than a 5p

  2. i have never had a problem with my hand climbing infact touch wood doing anything i never get blisters and my hands are actually quite soft i refuse to wear gloves until the point where my hands freeze or am dealing with brambles and have always been fine
  3. every piece of information i have ever found regarding this says its tractors not agri vehicles all though classed as the same thing for tax they are different by dvla standards the same as road rollers are different to construction machinery for some reason and have different driving rules as do "special vehicles" its the width and axle layout that affects the trailers aswell
  4. he can drive any tractor upto 2.45 meters wide he can only tow trailers that are single axle or double axle close coupled i.e. botex style suspension he can't drive agricultural vehicles i.e. telehandlers loading shovels foragers combines sprayers as they are not tractors until 17 then he can only drive them upto 3.5 ton at 18 its 7.5ton and at 21 its unlimited. the max weight of a tractor and trailer loaded in this country regardless is 24 ton and max road speed bar fasttraks and unimogs is 20mph that is regardless of age driving licence or tractor
  5. so you can have both i presume also the transfer box ones should have a neutral position if there like series motors
  6. build A spool valve in and stick the button down it works on a kindlet
  7. very solid apart from the table which if its an older model without support legs can be bent quite easily
  8. what about chipper reversing round a course behind a transit quickest time to complete the maintanance checks as per cs 30
  9. if your still looking for someone i have a mate at plumpton college that family runs a christmas tree farm i could get his number for u as he should be slightly cheaper or google dig ur own christmas trees as they are an awefulo lot cheaper
  10. i've seen these stocked on fr jones and was wondering if anyone uses one they look well padded and i prefer seat harneses to legloop ones but want something with a sliding d rather than fixed as i find it easier to move with the sliding d's
  11. they are unbraked so would be no good on the road also i don't think thoose wheels are speed rated and possibly would the lack of centre boulsterrs be a hinderance
  12. its 14 on private land for work 16 for the roads but only small setups and 17 with full driving licence for anything over 2.45 meters
  13. i pullover when ever sensible but genearally find it easier to back of the revs on long straights to let everyone overtake there is one road can't remember its name where it got absolutely ridiculous and i was pulling over constantly as in rush hour traffic and as soon as i pulled out there seemed to be 10 cars behind me the worst i think are cycalists, they should have to pull over for tractors as the tractors don't have the accelaration to overtake them on allot of roads and it means the whole traffic jam is slowed to cycalist speed and on some local roads there is no option bar to follow them for miles if you have a large implement and trailer on or even worse when your traveling in convoy
  14. the idea sugested before is already available from merlo i think its called a quingo or similiar vids on u tube i posted up a while back
  15. i have a pair of protector pros made in the same time as the people who are complaining of fualts and after a year they still look new having only been used for forestry not climbing my mate has a pair of husky technicals and after a year i cannot believe they are still intact after the abuse he has given them don't know if there water proof but they are deffinately indestructable
  16. my dad had this problem with a different type of specialist protective boot and was told by hse that you can't wear what they don't make and wear a pair of steelies of your choice
  17. the above tractor is made by Fort i believe who are know linked in with ferrari so laberhurst engineering may be able to help
  18. landini also make a small crawler with pto and three point linkage and is modern and up to eu standards
  19. a winch is perfectly safe if used and maintained corectly and all links in the system are of the correct SWL you don't say exactly what u want to do so hard to say what equipment is available for your needs and any other equipment capable of dragging trees out is going to be just as dangerous in the wrong hands
  20. why doesn't every one time themselves doing it in each way then there can be an arbtalk approved way of doing it i know i can make a net bag of logs in 3 minutes average over a day including stacking them on a pallet and strapping them up and can do more if filling using the conveyour from the procesor i can make about three small kindling bags a minute out of a kindlet machine depending on how its being operated
  21. i have just done similiar and laid it out in a rick assesment there are plenty of templates on the internet and then did a title page to include everything not in the template i.e. first aiders nearest hospital grid eference and if its an sssi or not
  22. the manual ones are fine if you get the log pick to go with them just aslong as they have the extension to the conveyour fitted at the front i think having hydraulic foward motion would clog alot if wood is not straight
  23. i was worried about the equipment until we started mucking about at college being tied from the smallest crotch on an oak tree with the tail wrapped round another 30ft away whilst all your mates jump on the line seems to give everyone in our class confidence in the equipment
  24. why not make wire hooks similiar to butchers hooks that can expand easily as the tree grows
  25. Itay’s Iveco Campagnola Takes On Jeep Wrangler - Truckblog or the massif for a long wheel base version
