  1. Now wheres that beautiful place? looks a nice spot. Was it felling into the wind?
  2. Massey helping out on site the other day
  3. Now I like that!
  4. Id get some fabticated. They wont be that hard to do for someone with a sheet metal bender and a mig.... only steel at the end of the day
  5. Well i thinknits rotten to bomb all that shit off for one groundy. And more work for a climber to cut and chuck all that and tiring.
  6. The jensen a530t did one with a tilt bed also.... I run a old jensen a530t its a vari track and tiltbed. Getting a bit worn though to be fair though done a lot of hours
  7. Handy little trailer at times this is
  8. Yes there is this. All will slow up on certain hills. local lads running dump trailers can get up to 32mph on a flat but hit this certain hill and are just about keeping hold of 12mph coming out the top. Its not a massive steep hill to be fair but its constant
  9. Old is gold and all but today theres so many better things out there without going to new. nostalgia can lead you astray. I can assure you if you have to do multiple trips in my tractor per day you feel like youve worked hard. Time is money nowadays.
  10. My current tractor has a 6cyl turbo fitted
  11. Roads are up and down all over here. But some long A roads to go on. My tractor does 20mph at 2400-2500 rpm. Was flat as a fart so had it turbo’d and it goes well now. Dyno’d at 110hp at shaft at 1900rpm and 127hp at 2500rpm. Dont want a tractor bigger in size just a bit more umph, comfort, and top end speed on the road. Was just wanting some more luxury and comfort. Only electronic shift type box ive used is the 40 series. At the moment im playing with gearsticks near my bollox!
  12. Wonder if that is due to the 4wd kicking in when braking? Dont half make some noise. Also dog clutch is it banging in and out. I nearly bought a massey 6465 the other month but it took ages to start. Then turn it off and try to start again and took ages.... walked away. Handfull of other issues too
  13. Just wondering what's out there to look at? Would like to upgrade my tractor at some point soon. Was looking at nh8340 and ts115 etc there's a lot of backup around here for those. Also seen some deutz fahr agrotron 150 etc Anyone any recommendations? Also places to look on, seen some right crap on ebay and other sites. Many thanks
  14. I do like the look of the 19-28 machines.... have considered either a road tow or a tracked machine.... look a decent machine. are the blades round ? Can you get square ones also?
  15. I have a stem of cedar at the yard.... i do have one outlet for it but not worth the time to deliver. Its been put with all the other over size..... if i get short of wood or can be arsed i’ll attack it and firewood it..... most likely i’ll not bother and send it all off for biomass
  16. Picked this up the other day just to run the processor. There was some shite about when searching i can tell you!
  17. Good. I like a good project
  18. This thread needs pictures
  19. Anyone had any experiance of pto stump grinders? I think they would be a great thing to have for the larger stumps when access allows.... like multiple 3' -5' stumps on a site Or would it be better to get an old big towed vermeer? Would prefer to utilize the power of the tractor to be fair. Cheers
  20. Think my old one was a 4... used to have one of them armour cases on and was great but got scratched to buggery! Took it out of that and put in a normal case got smashed! got a 6 in a normal case and screen protector. Didnt help when i left it on rear mudguard of tractor and set off down the road new second hand phone surviving well but slow as buggery and battery shameful. Not dead yet though
  21. What did you put down spec wise to reduce in the end? All I can see is its a daft tree to retain in such a small space. Also there are plenty of other tree's in the area by the looks of the print screen and it wouldn't be a huge loss to visual amenity. Long term need multiple reductions, still cause same issues for the customer, possibly get ash die back at some point. I see it as throwing good money at bad and why should the customer have to pay hundreds each time to reduce for something of little benefit to them?.... Imagine if the customers had to endure the councils decision for the next 10 years then be allowed to remove the tree, why not let them have it out now and plant a better suited tree that in those 10 years could have grown to be a decent tree for the environment area and for amenity and worth of a tpo. Sounds like your T.O cant see past the end of his nose
  22. Just wondering what mobiles people are using nowadays? My contract finished a good while ago maybe 12mth and been sim only since.... As per usual the first mobile never lasted the 24 mth contract i was in and it got smashed lol So i bought another iphone off my mate to put me on but this things dieing now also! Looked online and nowadays theyre trying to tie you in to a 3 year contract! New phone will never survive Also one thing my mrs pointed out was new phone was like 39.00pcm.... same mins, texts and data as currently which is only 13.00 pcm. They showed me brake down and phone was 11.00 pcm and they were charging me 28.00 pcm for same mins, text and data i get now... sneaky sods... Anyhow.... Any durable phones out there? Cheers
  23. Like the fendt quote ? i have a kellfri log grab and its ok. Only 950 plus vat also so cheaper than the above and the rytec version
  24. Sound ok till you do the figures and its about 3.5-4 cube a ton then its peanuts and youve to load?
