  1. haven't the brass neck for it but I know some people that are amazing at it like the guy that got a landy I looked at but didn't haggle he managed to get it from £1100 down to £350!! it was a series 3 the bulkhead was pretty bad shape but otherwise it was on a galvie chassis and had an overdrive fitted! man I wished I had the gift of the gab! :blushing:

  2. Look at the Rabaud Tirmax 4 its run by tractor hydraulics, from 1 spool, it has a 4 tonne constant line pull and uses a chain instead of a cable. A bit different to the norm, but we have supplied one to a local estate and they work it hard. has a 3 way direectional lower blade as well. no need for front pto, just use the linkage.

     

    that looks like what Thompson trees near me have on their valtra although not seen it up close, not sure about the chain though! im guessing there's a reason that's not the accepted norm on winches?

  3. I made one up from two of these type of pallets just spring off half the boards nestle the two together like meshing your fingers and use boards to brace it mucho cheapo or even free! cut loads of firewood on it no bother :thumbup1:

     

    biggest thing for you re: your back is setting the right work height pallets might not be the best if you are quite tall though that's the only thing

  4. Hold out for a 3 litre (35c14), pulls like a train which is handy if you're fully loaded with a reasonable size chipper or full 3.5T trailer.

    yep good 'n' powerful , gearboxes are crap though well not the box itself exactly but the cable linkage bit like a stick in a bucket of swill!

  5. I recently had to run my mates Fastrack and flail into the tm zone on the M25 with the artic because he was not allowed to drive it there. It was less that 1 mile but it was a firm no.

    guess it depends on the police suppose all you can do is put in a request, damned unreasonable really when a cat 3 load can only do 40 on motorway, yet a fastrack is denied for one mile! sigh probably a lot to do with agricultural tractor still meaning likes of a wee grey fergy to the pen pushers :001_rolleyes:
