  1. Kubota kx41 1.7t Just wrestling with buying a 30hp iseki with loader any buying a winch or just getting a winch for digger
  2. I know it's been a while. Did you get anywhere with this?
  3. Having lovely time with the thumb I went for appreciate the advise. I have lots to learn but so far so good.
  4. What size machine do you have that on? I worry that on a 1.7t machine I'll use half its lift capacity with a fixed rotating grab
  5. so it seems that a decent hydraulic thumb from jb equipment or digbits is about the same as a decent tined grab from the same. am i correct thinking a grab will be slightly better at grabbing? charging into brash with etc....i imagine a thumb wont be as useful for gripping brash? i got the digger to do a load of jobs on the farm - i dont do any landscaping so imagine if it comes on a job itll be doing arb only thanks appreciate everyone input
  6. What thumb do you have? Ta
  7. This is the cheapo 260 one I found Mini Digger Log Grab WWW.WSPOWERONLINE.COM Mini Digger Log Grab made from high quality steel. 25mm Pins85mm Between Pin Centres 90mm... I was imagining I could use the kellfri grab and rotoator on a non swivel bracket but sounds like that's a no go. So either dangling rotator or normal grab or thumb? I feel like a fixed grab would be better for brash but terrible for timber stacking etc.
  8. Thanks that's really helpful
  9. Any advice please- Want some sort grab for my kx41-2 1.7t. Option 1. Simple straight cheap grab, fixed, can't rotate - £260 Option 2. Cheap kellfri grab, rotates, hangs on a swing link bracket so all floppy. £1200 Option 3 the above but fixed I.e no swing link- requires some extra hydraulic plumbing (maybe rob the boom slew?) . Increases reach and brash grabbing ability? 1200 plus hydraulic messing on. I'm not experienced enough to know the major advantages/disadvantages. Would appreciate advice etc.
  10. Chromium? Which I think is a chrome based thing on Ubuntu. Will try some others when I can
  11. wayo! cant seem to find any pins on the chipsite directory other than 53 around london? edit;works fine on chrome on android, not fine on p.c
  12. Thanks Mark. Don't think that easily fits what's on the tractor. It's all a bit new to me don't really understand all the loader type fitments etc
  13. Aye it's for the 2650 ( still In garage). I'll see if I can find a kelfri one. Any idea where you got it?
  14. Anyone use a cheapo one that you pop on a set of pallet forks? Any good? It's that or make one.
  15. The other last resort is to pop the brass insert on the rear flat face of the carb and turn to screw 1/8 to 1/4 out
  16. Thing I done last week. 4 days. Had fun!
  17. Please attach pics of chain.
  18. Run his bar for a bit longer (like a full tank) on some thick wood with your saw. Just to double check
  19. They fit a 372 fuel hole as well
  20. Just take the spikes off and test it. Im pretty sure itll have nothing to do with them, but easy enough to test. A sharp chain and decent undamaged bar should cut without the use of the spikes. Either the bar grooves are worn unevenly forcing the chain to side, or they are burred, or bar is bent. or the chain is incorrect/not sharp/not sharpened evenly/rakers need filing.
  21. Dont use a a zigzag for srt, but it could be the shackle moving causing more sit back? My tether sits on the side of my hitchclimber on the same krab that fixes it to my bridge so there is no movement.
  22. I've never shaved a flywheel - guess that's up to you. but certainly worth getting the cat out. From memory once that's happened the outlet is plenty big enough
  23. I'd love that. Do shout if your serious - happy to try and make most budgets work!
  24. Thanks for the thorough reply! Did you consider drilling the cast type clip on muffler to fit bolts through? The cost of the non OEM cylinder and exhaust puts it only about 40/50 quid cheaper than getting a stihl cylinder- so but less tempting. Have the non OEM cylinders been ok?
