  1. 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 .
  2. Yeah. Valtra mechanic they can corrode after a while and cause brakes to stick on slightly. I changed one this evening.
  3. 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 👍👍👍
  4. 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.
  5. Yes , done a lot of work with it since repairs. heating only happening when driving long runs on road.
  6. Thanks. im thinking along similar lines. filter is genuine. was going to take out tomorrow and see, it’s like oil is bypassing and causing back pressure against the circuit .
  7. No. spool kept off. thanks.
  8. Hi. Wondering if anyone on here has come across this problem. I’ve recently had new hydraulic pump fitted to my Valtra 6400 (with Botex roofmount crane) Also fitted new pto shaft and flywheel pto hub.. ( old one had stripped its spines) filters and oil all new also. Everything seems fine in normal operation but when driving on road, hydraulic oil temperature warning light ones on after 10 miles. First time it happened, I blewout oil cooler , second time I washed cooler ( carefully). Valtra mechanic said oil level might have been too high, I had filled to the Extra-Max line on dipstick. I drained some oil until at Max level on dipstick. Still happens after 10 miles. I have tried removing pipes both sides of cooler to see what direction flow through cooler and what confuses me is that there is oil flowing from both sides. Is there a valve or thermostat on the circuit thats not working properly? I would fit new oil cooler it I’m not sure it would solve problem. Thanks
  9. This job could have gone very wrong very fast! we were called to take 2 Lawson Cypress off house, access not great Couldn’t see broken chimney balanced under tree until we did a fair bit of pole sawing . lots of planks , bit of scaffolding , ratchet straps and a very sound builder and a fair bit of patience
  10. Place needed afresh new bunkers!
  11. That’s why we bought the tractor 😃
  12. Big old Monterey Pine on a golf course today.
  13. If it’s been parked for that long , that’s quite a bit of condensation plus Agri diesel doesn’t store well. as others have said, flush tank , rinse and change filters to be on safe side
