No one ?

I may be looking to change my stump grinder in the new year... Currently use a vermeer sc252 which is a belting machine! Just let down by being 35" wide!! I like to do a proper grind, and grind the whole stump out. Im not a 4-6" below turf person.... Bit concerned about the weight of some of the grinders with regards to if needed to go over paving etc.... like the predator 28/38 etc Dont mind a wheel'd one but tracks may also be ok... Please if you are going to recommend a grinder, please be honest about it and its abilities..... The bandit zt.... only grinds to 12" deep, not going to take out the full stump unless i start digging the grinder in..... then the engine will be running on a big angle oil to one pot and not the other as far as i see... I've done huge stumps with the vermeer and even with its grinding depth of 16-18" im constantly digging the thing in to get that bit lower. Whats a short list I should look at? Carlton 4012? predator 28-38 Anything else? Some of the bandit 2250n look ok but hyd head must draw power from these... and always for sale with low hours on Cheers

I’ll be having to stick a set of cooper at3’s on my ranger in the new year

Ffs John ?

That kind of thing just the ticket for me to dabble my toes into winching

Just fancy start small and un complicated. Then build up as experiance builds up

Happy Christmas everyone

Just after some advice on what to go for. looking to get a pto winch for the back of the tractor for the odd big fells or leaners etc. Dont want something too fancy or costly as wont get used a lot but good to have in the inventory. we have a 100hp 4 wd tractor weighs maybe 5-5.5t any advice please as to what size / power to go for. many thanks chris

I wouldnt be a tight arse.... Im not mard and change stuff all the time but moneys been had from that I'd say. Get a new one bought its against tax... Cant put a price on your safety

How about weld 3 spots of weld on the underside of the washer that comes into contact with the chute..... these blobs will help keep pressure / hold down the chute?

Some chippers have used holes and pins in the past to keep locked in one position. How old is the chipper? Mines 2 yrs old and I like you remove the chute daily but never have this problem

Went out and bought the kellfri log grab. Will be using it in anger week before xmas see how I get on but looks a sturdy thing!

This is what I use as a re chargeable... also has 2 decent magnets on the back. used iit on back of truck for unloading logs and reversing when necessary https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RING-AUTOMOTIVE-Professional-Hands-Free-28-x-LED-Rechargeable-Inspection-Lamp/232527170070?epid=2076484654&hash=item3623b30a16:g:WlQAAOSwLJ9Z5kzs

Not this one but same thing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20W-Portable-Ultra-Thin-LED-Hi-Power-Work-Light-Lamp-Rechargeable-Flood-Light/173552912285?hash=item28688f479d:g:D50AAOSwgKRbq~9r:rk:7:pf:0

Have done this yes..... Also you can get some decent work lamps that are re chargeable and led on small stand that can sit in trailer I had to use amber warning lights on my old transit as reverse lights didnt work lol

2 Big ones up there, Ones huge! Amazing tree's

The first Sequoia introduced in 1853 be the one at Cluney Gardens, Aberfeldy?

? just worn my 2.1 out.... bought another! Didnt really look at the 3 just heard bulky etc

Looks good to me! Did you get off man from Durham?

Which make or item do you use? Any pics? Many thanks

Anyone use one or something similar? Cheers

Didnt have to remove mine.... Just remove the end cap on the roller box.... then green bush is revealed then you can see the shear bolts

Right, sounds better! what year is yours? Mines just about 2 yr old so back end 2016 with the silly bullet heads. Probs better to just change to an allen key head that the head fits into the green bush. (For me) Cheers funnily enough it was my lower roller too

Them shear bolts are a pain in the arse! Mine came loose not so long since and caused roller to move a good 10-15mm in and out! Rang tw dealer up to explain movement in the roller to be told hmmmmm not sure that will be covered under warranty ( their favourite saying) so thought sod that I'll look myself. Anyhow the shear bolts had come undone and really loose. Stupid design as the heads are like a rounded bullet shape and nothing to grab. Screwed back tight in best we could and cracked on. If happens again which I have no doubt it will. I will cut a flat groove in the "bullet head" as i call it so I can use a flat head screw driver to really tighten the buggers up!

Does anyone use anything like this on site with a front loader for both logs and brash? http://www.ryetec.net/product.php?id_product=75 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kellfri-Log-bucket-grapple-grab-for-loader-shovel-telehandler-tractor-950-Vat/122246238886?hash=item1c767192a6:g:yuoAAOSwY3tbOUuv:rk:4:pf:0 How do you get on with them? are they ok for both? Cheers
