  1. Kubota introduces new half-track tractor | Trade Farm Machinery Australia marcus
  2. 100% in agree with the above sentiment. Bob "done the right thing" by Paula Yate's children. I admired him for that action. But yes again, like Michael Suchmacher example "aint life fickle". At 55 am fer enjoying myself, just a little. But, cough, cough, why do we pay any attention to this particular death. We did not know the young woman or her family. (I can only presume) So, why comment? It is after all, all over the papers so we already all know. Seriously. Marcus
  3. That would depend on the belt, and its cost! m
  4. Bingo! And like the tag-line I saw somewhere; "It is a known fact that all electronic devices are powered by a puff of smoke, once the smoke is allowed to escape, the device will no longer work" The same applies to belt powered devices.
  5. Woody, I dont imagine I need a full blown telehandler. Sommat to lift about 1-1.5 tonne max. Though some telescopic capacity would be nice to have. And compact and nimble. . . .above all else. cheers all m PS OMTC.... Grey Goose very nice, only had it the once at a "G" Wagen meet. Perfect consumed "al fresco", and I am not a Vodka drinker either. cheers m
  6. Did you use the Avant to bring the pallet of Vodka direct into the living room OMTC. Or was there no particular connection between your 2 apparently linked statments. I do like the Avant because it is small and properly tyred. The JD 3720 is fablous, with astounding manouverability due to a very very sharp "cut", but the front tyres are a bit skimpy, but that allows for the very tight turn angle. But both will "bulldoze" well above their weight due to the hydrostatic transmission. JD's "Loadmatch" is quite wonderful in how it works. But, yes essentially a small telehander with fat tyres, is prob the best match for my needs.
  7. Hawk an spit. overweight, underpowered, clumsy, cumbersome, etc etc Ah want a quart in a pint pot. Probably with a Japanese diesel engine, i.e. a Yanmar or Kubota. Will take a snoak round at the Spring Show at the Maze in mid May. cheers Marcus PS Decision made re the bandsawmill, just watching the exchange rates. time enough for 6 or 9 months too, as no timber cut to process.
  8. Avant? 3720/4720 J Deere tractor or equivalent Kubota/TYM/Kioti.? Widerman/Kramer type "shovel/telescopic"? JCB TM180? Larger tracked skid-steer? I reckon I dont need another ag tractor. I absolutly want sommat with either hydrostatic or torque convertor transmission. No dry clutchs. To move soil, spoil and logs and firewood, also to bulldoze limited amounts of hardcore, until it is worth getting a tracked digger in. Pref on fat tyres for the Moss/soft ground we are surrounded with. Is there such a machine as to tick all my boxs? Marcus
  9. Absolutly agree, and long overdue.
  10. seee Timber Harvester Saw Mill with spare blades, all hydraulic | eBay I am as yet unaware of any TimberHarvester mills outside of the States btw:confused1: marcus
  11. I would associate a healthy frog, and therefore frogspawn, population with reasonable areas of uncut/never cut grass and coarse vegititation around or near the pond. Does the water surface perhaps also need shade from direct sunlight (preferentially) To provide a permenantly damp environment for the mature frogs to live in. The pond up the moss, and it is quite small and very weedy. Is positively thick with frogspawn. regards, marcus
  12. Ya bugger! That caused me quite a wee sniffle. Missing the incontinent ould brute every morning I open the Kitchen door. Still open it gingerly, cos of what might be lying behind it/what I have stepped in with half asleep bare feet. regards, Marcus
  13. Erm, cough, cough! What happened to the frogspawn that presumably was in the old pond. A diger sheaugh bucket will/could/should easily have scooped it out, into a temp pit if necessary. before relocating to the new pond. just a thought. marcus
  14. With the extra wheels (=fulcrum) virtually below the mast, it makes a shocking difference to the leverage of the load lifted balanced against the entire weight of the tractor on the other side of the forklift wheels.
  15. Der mommy was an innocent wee Daschund fea Castleblaney. Der father, despite the cover story, was apparently a local chancer. bita this bita that. But the one with the white breast, is a proper wee honey, and knows it. The Rottador is now "King", but an absolute placid big saft lump from the local pound. In there for weeks and weeks, several folk looked at him and quailed. "Hes one o them big bad dogs", they said. Silly people. Genetically he is about 85/90% black Lab.
  16. A cardan or PTO shaft is not an expensive item. & Easily sourced through your local ag mach dealership
  17. Simply needs an Irishman at the controls. One from a farm used to driving tractors from 10 or 12 and having graduated to telehandlers and excavators from 12 or 14. Before he discovers alcohol and woman.
  18. Major 8000 (as was) roller mower, rollers front and rear, two contra-rotating shaft driven swing tip bar blades, a double bladed mulching kit available. murder heavy, indestructible build quality, and a very good finish. I have cut rush bushs, Sally bushs up to 3 or 4", whin bushs and occassional stones. Finally, finally managed to smash a blade off but only after garbling at a large buried stone, while the DB hydraulics failed to lift quickly enough. Quite superb. Also capable of cutting Sports Pitchs to a very high standard. We ran one for this very reason for a good no of years. Before I bought mine, both of them.
  19. 1 100% agree with Steve. Live in any community in Northern Ireland for a wheen o year, keep you eyes and ears open, and the blatent abuse is abundently clear. An absolute statement of disgusted fact. btw, the Mrs. gets higher rate DLA (or whatever it has been recently renamed)
  20. Now come to tink o' it . . . und wit der Inbuilt water cooling/lubrication. Hmmmm! PS Pond "lined" with that wonderful(for this purpose, leastwise) underlying impervious/water-tight blue clay. That caused the impeded/non drainage, that caused the Moss to form in this area. Down to the underlying (fissured) basalt rock in the pond bottom btw. Simples.
