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.

Yes , done a lot of work with it since repairs. heating only happening when driving long runs on road.

Yes . getting hot .

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 .

No. spool kept off. thanks.

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

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

Place needed afresh new bunkers!

That’s why we bought the tractor 😃

Big old Monterey Pine on a golf course today.

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

Ahh! they were looking to get something done before the storm. We were in Carraroe that day, I didn’t recognise your hilux

Hi Connor. was that at TG4?

No end of damage around west.

Some hefty trees down in recent storms.

This is something I’ve been thinking of doing with my older TW230. )partly because torsion axle and brakes are knackered.) Had a few jobs this year where would be handy to lift chipper over wall with tractor crane . Often, on building sites, end up with teleporter carrying chipper in. A fair few situations where a compact chipper on a skid would be handy and could fit on grain trailer along with mini digger.

These are great! Move also tried other couplings (spared etc) but these work best.

I’d be going for the Hinowa , firstly for the reach ( especially the outreach) and that Hinowa would be more popular ( over here anyway, not sure about UK) with more technical back-up within a reasonable distance.

We’ve ran T540s since the mk1, i prefer 14 inch and some prefer the 12 inch bar. husky bars aren’t great and of late , Oregon not any better.. Sugahari very good. I recently got a mk3 , really like it , lots of torque. only negative is it doesn’t go long on a tank of fuel. anybody else noticed same ? thanks.

When I started at production cutting in the late 80s ,there were all manner of contraptions extracting timber. One guy built a little forwarder based on a Zetor with front axle removed, the trailer section had a Zetor rear axle driven by the pto ground drive. the final drives in those old Zetors (and David Browns) could be rotated to give super ground clearance. It weighed very little and could travel on very soft ground. He had a little hiiab crane on it that had a fair few leaks ,so he would run it on burnt oil. Seems hard to believe now that you could not get in trouble for spewing burnt oil all over a forest !

Is one of the levers for the spool valves engaged?
