.....

i have a nokka which isn't currently up for sale but will be in the coming weeks. if potentially interested give me a bell

cheers,

Andrew

yep buy one!

In the same sort of league as zetors etc. Not bad tractors and will do the job i think you may find that they dont hold re-sale values like some other tractors. if the price condidition and amount of horses is ok then a bit of guarding and bob's your uncle.

cheers,

Andrew

i may have a nokka 400 coming up for sale. . . . . wont be making my mind up on it till early-ish next year.

cheers

Fit youre boughton to the front the county if you do get stuck winch yourself out, for the amount of times you get stuck is it worth buying a new trailer...... plus you county will have more traction than your other machines

Its for flexibility stu. . . I intend running 2 units. Irrespective of the county's grunt it has to have a trailer behind it so id rather buy the right trailer for it once and id rather have more traction at my disposal than less.

Cheers fof the other replies. . .i'll now get on and do some research.

Andrew

You know it's not that bad once you know. The Botex trailer empty without the legs just on a crooked drawbar however is very scary

 

On steering drawbars once you've used one you'll never go back. Just to be able to reverse the tractor straight and steer the trailer is worth it alone. you can fir around some really tight corners too. Oh and use the crane quite close in without the legs is very useful. Also nice to be able to shove it side to side to see around the king post.

I currently run a botex with s drawbar and its an awesome bit of kit. What it lacks in speed it makes up for in lift capacity. Just finishing off a county roof mount and figure that i may as well put a driven trailer on from the off then i'll be best placed for the wet stuff and will have given myself as much of a helping hand for traction without chains.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice there. I will have a look into the various units and see what seems reasonable. In the meantime if anyone knows anymore about the pro's and cons of the cage drive compared to hydraulic it'd be great to know. P.s its been on the cards for a while stu but i must admit getting stuck does highlight the need!

Cheers again,

Andrew

Im looking into a driven timber trailer to go behind a tractor with roof mount. There are various manufacturers and different types of set up for drive. Im after some advice from some of you that own/have used. Whats good and whats not?

Cheers in advance,

Andrew

Its worth it for the magazine alone. There are some interesting articles in it and helps keep you up to date (no pun intended with the health and safety course!)

Cheers,

Andrew

Thanks very much for the advice there. It doesnt look like there is a huge amount to the machine apart from the electrics. I will let you fellas know how i get on with it.

Thanks again,

Andrew

hi ive just picked up a nokka 400 processor and intend overhauling it before putting it to work. Does anyone have experience with overhauling and if so apart from the electrickery what did you do and where did you get parts from etc?

cheers,

Andrew

Mcconnell benches are very good if you can find one. . . . .6-800 will find one in top nick.

With the greatest of respect agrimog i have been selling logs for a good while and have 60 years from past generations in the family selling logs without issue or hinderence. I make it my business to try and help others and post relevant comments only and obviously this is not the case for others on the forum. Every effort has been made to emphasise the importance of viewing and contact to discuss prior to any order etc.

Everyone needs there 2 pence worth tho i guess even they're not even interested in a purchase. . . .

Husky are still using the full rev apply chain brake test where as stihl do not reccomend this anymore and opt for chain brake apllied rev fully for 2-3 seconds. The drop inertia is always good to see demo-ed but wouldnt recommend it particularly often. As for the tests i think you have to pick which is best for you. For myself id rather do the full rev test as that is similar to replicating the real thing or as close to.

Key thing is that you take the time to do check it regularly.

Cheers,

Andrew

Sorry my fault I may not have made it clear I want the cordwood that is in 3m lenghts split, I will then put it through the Jappa as it can't take large diameters. I just want to hire someone to do it.

Would love to help you if you were closer . . .i have a posch 30 ton splitmaster which would see to that. . . Might be worth contacting wilsons, he may have contacts local to you with one or a wood cracker or even a lasco.

Cheers,

Andrew

Anyone got one or used one of these and how much do they cost? or shall i build one?

Looks pretty effective! If you do build one please remember to share the pics!

Cheers,

Andrew

Don't try and sell something as a tonne if it doesn't weigh a tonne. A tonne bag is only a tonne bag if it's contents weigh a tonne.

Dont think i did. . . Please wind your neck in. A tonne bag is a generic term so a layman has an opportunity to understand what he/she is looking to buy.Feel free to call me and discuss if you're particularly upset.

Thanks,

Andrew

P.s cheers stu and herm

Interested parties pls contact me and you can view, measure and satisfy yourself on quality etc. I would expect this to be the norm prior to any order or sale.

Note: terms used are for a universal purpose to gauge size (tonne bag) and not meant to be to the nearest log or take into account airspace etc.

Bag size is 900x900x900.

Hi,

Bags can be supplied at cost £3.25.

£30 + vat collected from hants/berks border near basingstoke.

I agree with the above as far as having a swivel seat. It can be done to any tractor should you want to. I would always want 4x4 as a pre requisite for any roof mount tractor. Seen fords, county's, internationals db's and the list goes on. Cant go far wrong with a valtra or a county.

Cheers,

Andrew
