  1. I know the dimensions of the chipper but wondered in your experience which Ifor Williams plant trailer it sit most comfortably on ?
  2. Any recommendations for a mulcher attachment for a mini skid steer ?
  3. So that would explain why the oil is clear on the level viewer before it’s started up again. Would I be right in presuming that the moisture that’s condensated has settled at the bottom of the tank and by draining about half a pint it would have eliminated the water ?
  4. Yes, just from condensation.
  5. I have an issue with my timber trailer hydraulics. Over the winter months it’s stored in a barn and brought out again in the spring when drier conditions allow timber extraction. The hydraulic oil become contaminated due to condensation while inactive. So is it better to drain the system and leave it empty or top it up full to the limit and take out the excess prior to use. The tank is plastic.
  6. Has anyone any tips for removing the hydraulic oil from the hoses of a small timber crane. I have drained the holding tank but the oil in the hoses doesn’t drain freely. Can it be forced through with an air compressor. It needs to be removed as it is contaminated.
  7. Has anyone any suggestions for tyre valve protection for trailers that have wheels without built in protection?
  8. So this chap was stopped by police for unsecured load. Seems a bit harsh as the load is contained within the bag. What are your thoughts ?
  9. Thanks for that. Would certainly save a lot of hassle that way ?
  10. I have some milky hydraulic oil that needs changing. How do I flush all the oil from the lines that go right to the grapple on my crane ?
  11. Can anyone recommend radio ear defenders that will fit on a petzl helmet that have am or dab radio or a combined forestry helmet that has am / dab radio ?
  12. Anyone use a Kelfri 2.7 t Kellfri timber trailer. Looks useful but wonder what it's like in practice.
  13. Anyone offer some feedback on these. Look really useful.
  14. I have been given some 46 grade hydraulic oil. Can I use it on my valmet / valtra tractor or is it too dense ?
  15. For those of you that have stayed in the woods to finish a thinning or extraction because it's easier and more productive to stay, apart from camping or caravan, did you ever adapt a vehicle to suit your overnight accommodation ?
  16. I have a new chainbrake/ handle still in its packaging if you are interested.
  17. Anyone have one if these. Looks good value.Firewood processor hydraulic log deck Kellfri £ 795.00 + VAT Tractor Digger | eBay
  18. Thanks woodworks, appreciate that advice and taking the time to take photos , nice dog.
  19. Has anyone modified their loadhandler to ensure more logs come out. I have found that a few are left back because the sheet has slid under them ?
  20. Recommendations for snow ploughs for alpine tractor ?
  21. Been after a loadhandler for a while now but every time I check the website they are still awaiting stock. Anyone know when the uk stock is going to be available ?
  22. Yes. Depends on how much weight you have on the back but will easily lift a cube bag of logs . It's thought that loaders put extra stress on the front axles but I've not heard of anyone with issues.
  23. http://i.arbextras.co.uk/s/attach/jpg.gif Our antonnio carrarro 48 hp has made life so much easier for extracting. Must have reduced our time on site by half. It dosent churn the ground up and is very maneuverable.
  24. Maybe there should be a separate forum for this? Maybe beanstalk and I could be the moderator 'jack' of the
  25. Hello Branston, think it's about time a case of your finest was on its way ! And to add another point, sent the mrs out shopping last night to provide for last nights tea. And guess what I'm on the beans again this morning ! How many other meals can you have for breakfast, dinner, tea, supper and not question it ?
