  1. Metal detectores are no good for finding stones, hit 3 in trees last week with new chains:thumbdown: Good idear thou .
  2. The grab you are using is made to move muck and not brash. The problem with the rotator grab is you have got to pick every bit you can't push up with it. Have a look at brash grapples best of both. The brash fork we use is a large muck fork but with tines which only have a 3inch gap between them we never have any problems get hold of brash but letting it go is a big problem if you are to greedy picking up a farmer I do work for has a big grab on a JCB tely like yours its a pain on small bits as you say when picking bits out of a ditch have to chain them.
  3. Clean, Shiny, Black out windows, every modern gadgit fitted it's still a landrover.
  4. Any lift company May have cable removed from shafts . Store them in a old tyre.
  5. If the truck you buy has any mod,s go to Adrian Flux.
  6. I have a Tanaka long reach and a Husqvarna 325 HDA 55 which run the same cutting head. Smashed the casing on my husky once and landed up putting the Tanaka 1 on it to get the job finished
  7. Your the 1 hanging on the end of it, if you can't make your mind up then through it a way but remember to cut it in small bits so it can't be used.
  8. A good tip is to weld a peice of steel on the tang so you have so to revit over.
  9. Timberwolf 100/18 great little chipper bought one as first chipper and still got it run where the 150DHB I have as well is big to get in to some gardens that I work in.
  10. Take slave cylinder off leaving pipes joined and see if it works as it should. Then if it do's you have got a clutch problem. On FENDT tractors you bleed them piped but not bolted on tractor then you have to get it bolted to tractor not easy as you have to push slave cylinder in and the fluid go's back in to reservior so make sure the level is low first.
  11. DITTO. But they love there Horse's ??????.
  12. Just remember every one is one less. Just hope you haven't got to log timber.
  13. My 130 has the biggest load rated Britpart single spring (there is not 1 inside the other) you can get full loaded with chips it sits lovely and level may a time old bill have pulled up along side at traffic lights no problem as it got high tail board and they could not see in the back and they probably thought it had nothing in. The gross weight of a 130 is 3.5ton so whats the point of putting 4.1ton springs on one it a hard ride with the one's I have fitted.
  14. Right gear and weight no problem. Turn it 3 times and you will have a nice square lump.
  15. Theres a saw going in the back ground were they at a safe distance. This tree should have come down first or taped off. To get it down BIG WINCH
  16. Hit some thing big with hedgecutter cost alot of money not just a sharpen up
  17. you trip/fall, where might the files go? I agree Files with no handle stuck in leg may be he hangs them on his cans?????
  18. Only time my truck gets a good clean out is MOT time then I can never find any thing, but it isn't long before it's back to how it was.
  19. My old boss had a short piece of plastic BT duct which was made in to a holder it held all the files, spare plug/starter cord, small screw driver and saw spanner/screwdriver. When we did a refresher course it when with us, the examaner could not beleave what we had in it because the other pair on the course had a big plastic box full of allsorts.It was then we said which pair do's forestry. Sorry I have got no pictures of it but I have just found a piece of alley tube I'am planning to make 1 will post pictures soon
  20. Used this at a customers great tractor pulled hawthorns out of ditch and pushed up for a fire, not cheap.
  21. :thumbup:Must sweep my truck cab out must be £100+ in there at the moment.
