  1. I'm sure when I ran an older deere 3040 them hydraulics used to pulse for whatever reason. Sure someone said it was to do with the closed system they run? About all I can say or comment
  2. Pooftas I'd have to break the tyre leavers out then. Only like 33 quid a tyre but as always upgrade where you can. Will have a ponder then πŸ˜€
  3. Nah, I don't have to put chipper on there.... I have a gh1054 but I'm mighty impressed woth the little trailer. It can carry 1.5t and going volume I can fill it with mesh sides 3/4 full and still be ok πŸ‘ Pretty happy with that for logs and it's a good partner for behind ranger. When you go 10x5 only 2' longer you were another 1k extra.... 12x6 1200 extra all for old battered trailers. This is a good looking little thing. Hopefully some else doesn't think the same and relieve me of it lol 😞
  4. Afternoon all. Just bought a nice little ifor lt85 trailer brilliant little thing. Only a 2000kg gross. From what I can see they are the same everything, maybe slightly smaller brakes and different sized wheels from the lm version which is 2700kg. It has some poncy little 145 r10 tyres on. 3 of which are cracked between treads. Don't get me wrong I think this size of ture is probs OK but just checking with folk if they've run them? They any good? My mate said to swap them out with new rims and fit 195 r10 or up to the 13" wheels. Ideally I would have liked to put my safe track on this trailer if needed and if suspension same as the lm trailer the wheel upgrade would help me carry that weight (1800kg) Just seems like now is the time to decide. Any ideas folks?
  5. Looks ace! I have some tree planting and deer cages to build around them in December. Taking the digger to dig holes but have to take tractor with farmers post knocker for the posts, would have been great just all 1 machine
  6. I don't need one either tbh.... come April before tax return maybe πŸ˜† I'm still using a 2012 201tcm daily and a 2016 One thing I was glad of with the 201 was it got shut of the 200t carb issues!
  7. I did spot the hole thing like you but wondered if he ment Arsehole but abbreviated? Either way I didn't want to say anything πŸ˜€
  8. That's shite then. I just thought they were made out of cheese and that put me off... I'm a stihl man tbh. I say a video recently.... can't remember if August hunicke or guilty of treeson..... but they were using a mk3 and it sounded absolute awesome! Thought to myself might have a punt at one of them! As always with these things, let some bugger else be the unfortunate ones first πŸ˜‰ find the flaws
  9. Christ almighty.... blast from the past. What a heavy pig that grinder was to push around πŸ˜† Going to save that picture
  10. Moist again today
  11. I bet πŸ˜† The lad put orange plant out of business in the end πŸ˜€ Only joking Stuart.... but just to let you know. It comes in 3's..... i hope you've had your third by now πŸ˜† 🀣
  12. Shit isn't it. Heard a few folk say due to electric vehicle fires etc but not sure how much weight that argument has.... I questioned vehicle value.... master tipper at 16k I think and a ranger, over valued at 5500.... 10k difference in value. Same premium
  13. Yup. Folk don't realise they have to listen to a machine. I have in the past and still do when putting leafy material in, knee the stop bar before the no stress kicks in then activate it again to only feed a little at a time so it can clear the chamber.
  14. So what do folk do then.... just stomach it and deal with it when necessary? Kinda seems a shite trade off πŸ€”
  15. I would think all knows vehicle insurance has gone up silly. Mines gone up over 500 quid for nowt. Anyhow one interesting thing I found out was that : you do not use or accrue ncb with a fleet policy. (Specifically talking ncb here. You would get some sort of no claim history with that company) Your ncb only lasts 2 years if you do not use it.... Before fleet policy I had 13 years on one vehicle and 10 years on another.... Catch 22 now if i don't get a policy that accepts ncb before mid November they are gone. Does anyone bother with ncb now ? Anyone just though about their circumstances now? As I've just made you aware? Kind of pissed to leave the ncb behind if I continue fleet policy.... 2 truck and 1 tractor, though tractor could be insured separately for me. if you try aviva insurance and try to put modified in, it come up we cannot insure you over the inter net or over the phone. This is purely due to the chip box which I'm sure would be classed as a modification? Anyhow just hope folk haven't sleep walked into loosing their ncb. Imagine if you finishnup business in the next few years and need to insure a car for yourself and back with no ncb
  16. Exactly what I thought. Esp off a swinging hammer mulcher. Looks bang on. Most folk leave massive stringy bits all over. Obv gone deeper to blend into soil
  17. Least your in the clear now though ey πŸ˜€
  18. Excellent company is greenmech. One of the better companies I've dealt with. Shame I've gone on 9" plus road tow or would be running a gm road tow. I do run a gm safetrac at the moment too πŸ‘
  19. Yes I know the can't drop start. And yes probs should read the manual here πŸ˜† had a couple of times it wouldn't start and would have head scratch but would then start lol πŸ˜† wtf.... It's me and the lads though not the winch πŸ˜€
  20. I saw the demo at the arb show of the eder 1200 and thought it was ace. Bought one straight away after that as had plenty of work lines up for it. Great purchase!
  21. Nope. Not a clue. I run wired cameras with a display in the van. I also run one on the tractor loader... i got the one for the loader first best thing ever
  22. Yeah I did consider buying both and sticking in a wagon body at the yard out of the weather.
  23. All I ever use really is type c..... had some bloody fair heat this summer! I was considering getting some type a but lucky me it's September now and coming back to cold season πŸ˜€ I may well get some type a next year due to excessive heat as has been mentioned
