You could try http://www.woolacottgears.co.uk and see if they could make one for you.

A drum mower should work OK on 35hp, the only down side if it`s really wet, heavy, and knotted you still need to keep your forward speed to keep the material flowing through the machine, or the grass will try and wrap its self round the drums, only had it happen on a couple of times but that was on steep ground and unknown ground and not been touched for a number of years so going a bit cautious. But in most cases you would be ok.

Ty, if your stuck with this give me a shout on pm, I think I`m quite close to you from memory reading old posts. I`ve got both a flail and rotary topper, the flail take a fair bit of driving, but as others said mulches the cuttings more so not ideal for wild flower. If the grass is a bit longer the rotary should leave it in a swath, to help picking up.

An other vote for the Stanley food flask here as well. I`ve got one of the plastic type ones, empty the soup into it a few minutes in the microwave, then screw lid on, jobs a good one.

Manitou made a semi rough terrain fork lift, looked like a normal stacker truck but with bigger wheels some thing like 20" or 22.5" truck tyres, might be worth looking into if your yards not all tarmac or concrete.

I had some info a while back on the head chris sheppard said about early on in the thread, a stroke delimber with rollers turned by cables pulled by the stroke, no measuring on it, and little electrics other than diverter valves, a guillotine cutter, and crane mount or excavator mounting, I cant remember what capacity it would handle. I was looking just for a shear, but the info all came together, I thought while reading it looked a simple set up and would fit in as you said between hand cutting, and a full harvester head. Naarva Grip, I think was the make, and Riko supplier.

Is it cord wood? If so try Graham Edwards He's from Ruthin and has got a wagon and drag, I'll pm his number to you.

The street works card can be done in a day I think, but the 12d sector scheme will take longer if you want to get the card, for t1 & t2, basically the same as street works (part2?), a day of theory, a yard or depot assessment as they call it, a live assessment for stop/go, and a live assessment for 2 way lights, with the assessments taking between half a day to a day.

If its on the road up to 1m overhang nothing needed, 1m - 2m overhang clearly visible, 2m - 3.05m end marker, and side marker if over 3m. any more than that it will be getting a bit light on the drawbar. Off the road, chain it on and let it drag on the ground:laugh1:

I`ve got a 3.2 one, OK so far touch wood, looks big but parked it next to a 58 reg Nissan navara, it`s about the same footprint but about 9" taller, same again parked next to an 03 reg ranger about a foot longer and a bit wider, and a fair bit taller.

Just found the tread, its in the picture forum, by Beaver, called winch fitted to me transit. Don`t know how to do a link, sorry, but it show how he fitted it.
-
The was a post on here a while back, with pictures, of someone fitting a winch on the front of a transit. Just can`t remember who it was, or where it was posted.
-
It`s at the bottom of page 2, but its not of the tree that hedgesparrow was talking about when he started this thread, it was one Sussex groundie came across after reading the post.

Well done Steve, and well deserved, also to all the mod's and others who make arbtalk happen.:congrats::congrats:
-
I think the is a sticky about it on the top line of the forum.
-
I think Mr Bullman has changed the employment forum, so you can not reply to adverts.
-
I`ve seen them in the here in the UK, on tractor units with the crane on the unit rather than on the trailer.
-
I`ve heard the same over here in north wales, people having their stock robbed the day/night before the poultry sale in chelford auction.

Have to renew all NPTC units every 5 years
Craig. replied to lloyd g's topic in Training & education
Driver CPC? Being able to to the same course, eg first aid, five times to get the card. Going back to forestry/arb personally I think a log book idea like in construction plant would be a better way to go, you have to complete it and have signed off x hours for each category you hold. When it comes to renewal time you've got the prove of you skills and time working, an up to date h&s touch screen test and get a new 'ticket'. -
Agreed, and seeing a mobile number and a 0800 number has the same effect, I think.
-
I use NFU for mine, they do a type of fleet policy but they did`t offer it until I was pricing around a couple of years back, they looked at what I had insured end said they could offer £xx discount for having I think over 5? vehicles insured with them. (can`t remember the exact figures with out digging paper work out.)

Mostly husky, though a couple of stihl. Husqvarna first saw to be picked up. Mix of all uses, north wales.
-
An electric winch would work, may be a bit slow, but their not designed with a high duty cycle, ie winch up the bank, and stright back down to pull up again, and so on, it would get quite hot.
-
True, and as some one has said about looking like they need a pull, but holders of operator licence`s have a colour coded scale, to likelihood of finding a fault, as well. Their ocrs rating. The operators score comes up in the vosa car, off your number plate, a red is more likely to be stopped than an amber score, whicle is more likely to be stopped than a green.

Sorry to hear of your loss.
