    TW 230 is a big improvement on the 150. We must have done over 2000 hours on a 2016 230 with no bearing issues. we often use a 2017 tracked 230 owned by a landscaping company we sub for, it’s not too heavy and the feed hopper is easily removed . I haven’t used the newer model with de-rated engine , I replaced the 2016 with a low hours 2016. the tracked model seem to hold their money, tidy ones are not cheap.

    The boom set-up on that JCB looks handy. Good for loading trailers etc ?

    If the drive belts to the flywheel are slack the stress control won’t function properly. ive had it happen a few times they need to be pretty tight

    I think stress control works of alternator. Rarely gives trouble.

    Just seen this article on FB, might be old news to many.

    Thanks . Manual or remote control?

    I’d be interested in this winch or similar. What oil flow does it require ?

    Theres a plug on the wiring from the paddle switches and stop bar limit switch to the stress control box that can become damp and corrode over time. worth checking and cleaning out. happened mine a few years ago.

    Hand held battery secateurs do frighten me a bit. i use a long reach Milwaukee pruner a lot, pretty much same body as telescopic polesaw but with a by-pass pruner head . pretty heavy duty, cuts over inch and a half .

    Yeah. Valtra mechanic they can corrode after a while and cause brakes to stick on slightly. I changed one this evening.

    Hopefully, this may be the culprit. cable either got pulled off or more likely, wasn’t connected properly after fitting pump. will know for sure in a few days when driven home. Thanks to everyone whe replied 👍👍👍

    Yes getting hot.

    I don’t think they are and to be on the safe side I’ve eased back the adjustment a tad to see if it makes any difference.
