Done.

I want to try this, what size wheel do you want to get the right hollow grind on TW150 blades?

150mm?

Thanks

Thinking about it, I stand corrected Its the trailer bed that moves not the axel so you are actually moving the load forward or back

 

As for changing an ifor I'd have no idea, the fast tow has a single beam instead of a A-frame , best bit of kit I've bought

Thanks

Lovely bit of kit

I'm dreaming at the moment... But do you know what the nose weight is empty? Unladen weight? And what is the max crane lift?

Nose weight is adjustable by a hydraulic pump which adjusts axel position riko fast tow

Could an ifor be changed to be like that or is that crazy? How do overrun brakes work if the axle moves?

Looks a good set up same trailer as mine I reckon. Think I'll have to move my crane onto bed but will wait until I have power pack and work it out from there. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the trailer set up.?

I'll Pm you

Another question if you don't mind, would there be a simple way to put a scale on either the crane or the trailer so I knew how loaded I am? Thanks

Haha another thing I've thought the same! I'd say experience would be best the weighing things look expensive.

This log was a touch under 3foot, that's a 14 foot bed(12 foot after the crane) so 14 foot long log. I make that 1.5ton ish at 1000kg per m3. It's ash not sure how far off I am! Crane struggles with that, had to do one end the the other. That's a Honda 5.5 I think

That's looks pretty identical to mine, nose weight 250 overall 1100?

Damn you're close. 275ish /1180.

I thought about some ballast. But prefer the idea of moving the weight back when empty, so slide the crane back but don't know how you'd attach it... Don't like the idea of having the engine/tank at the back, it's nice to have the length and overhang the rear.

Like that idea

 

 

 

Recently bought this, anyone want to play guess the overall weight/nose weight?

Weight empty I meant

You could find with hiab on back and empty trailer it snakes like a pig at best it will lift and shake back of vehicle.

 

Put it on tracks stick it in middle when empty push and lock to front when loading and loaded.

Like that idea

Recently bought this, anyone want to play guess the overall weight/nose weight?

700 series green teeth or finger teeth if you prefer.

Has anyone tried 700 series red teeth? The green teeth cut fast enough I was just curious

That's good of you, I could sort out some freebies.

Yeah? Free chipper would be nice thank you mate.

If I'm not busy id let you demo mine

Something like a crane fed PTO, or mini digger fed tracked chipper needed for a day or 2 in Essex.

PM me if you've got one please

Sorry... Done

I was wondering who would notice worked really, really well:thumbup:

thought I was seeing things!

Just to show how capable this model is, today we carried out a successful demo with our fellow arbtalker Charles Hey. The demo was in Essex & one of the stumps was 4ft x 2ft which was taken out in under an hour, the grinder is very capable for a pedestrian machine. The grinder used was 18 months old but still as new showing the build quality we still produce with our Bandit machines.

Only just seen this! That was a big stump. I was well surprised how quick and easy it was, even on that big stump. It made me buy one...

I think it was bigger than 4x2 foot! My 36" bar only just went through from memory.

The other selling point was the yellow grinder I had a demo of had done 180hours? And it looked and performed like new.

Rigging with a zigAg?

a mk6 facelift

Is that easy to do?

And the even more exciting wheel removing

You'll need a 38mm socket for the wheels.

You'll want 14mm open ended and ring/ratchet spanner for the green teeth, although maybe a 14mm socket fits? I've not tried yet.

Martin. Here's the exciting video on turning teeth.

Love it!

Who ever it was that asked, I've got 2 very boring videos- 1 taking the outer wheels off, and 1 turning/changing the teeth.

Essex arborist- your PM box is full

Hi dean, is there a spec sheet on the sidewinder length, width, height, weight etc?

 

What's the lead time ATM?

 

Presume it's self propelled?

 

How deep can you grind?

 

Thanks

Might be able to help some of those answers a bit but don't quote me!

Width 25" with outer wheels removed, 37" with them on. 385kg?

Yes it's self propelled.

Not sure, but deep enough!

Hi

My feed rollers won't go forwards, they reverse fine. They do turn forwards for maybe 1/2 second after you press the stop bar, or the stop button.

Would say to me the switch works, but the relay or something electrical is faulty? Any ideas where to look?

Thanks

Charlie.

Amazing
