I recently bought a femac for my 3.5 ton machine, haven't used it yet however i had to fit a case drain line to stop a pressure build up in the pump. You might have to do the same depending on the flail. Other than that i don't know much about them apart from you must have enough oil flow.

Ok thank you for the replies The tmk 200 has a fixed blade , jb cougar do a similar head with a bolt on blade.....any good ? Does anyone on here run a shear on a 3.5t machine ?

A tree shear for a 3.5ton mini digger. To deal with small scrubby birch and gorse. Ideally 150mm to 200mm ? Anything bigger i will fell it.

Not sure if i posted this properly?? I'm looking for advice on a shear for a 3.5 ton excavator. Makes/models etc

🤔

Hope this helps . Thanks Nick.

Hello , I have some information regarding your engine

Thanks Tom, i currently have a worn out set of crossplys , i used to mostly do firewood thinning on local estates but after a change in business direction i find myself doing a combination of arb clearance, small tree/scrub clearance and winching ,which in turn means a lot more road travel. So perhaps as you suggested radials would be better, having not run on these before i was just concerned about the sidewall flexing at full reach with the roof mount. Thanks Nick.

Looks like field maple to me , been laying a hedge with some of that in it today (obviously smaller than that lump though ).

Thanks for the reply , I've been told about some 14 ply radial Alliance tyres , a bit cheaper than the nokians which are a lot of money , considering I don't use it that much.

Hello ,I'm after some advice on replacement tyres for a valtra 6400 with a botex 560tl roof mounted crane . Talked to a couple of suppliers and had conflicting opinions, I was under the impression that crossply was better due to the loading on the sidewalls and better resistance to damage, but I have also been told about a 14 ply radial tyre that has a higher load rating.......now confused !! Any ideas ?

I guess no one on here uses these , a shame I would like to know more about them with a view to buying one .

Hello I have often thought about one of the felling heads mounting it on either a roof mount or an excavator but I have never found enough information about doing so. I will watch this thread with interest .

Good choice I have an ancient (1995 I think) jensen A521 and it still comes out and earns a shilling . I have had very few problems with it just fuel lift pump (wore out the camb) starter motor replacement again worn out and heater plugs X2 sets . AND OBVIOUSLY the usual wear and tear blades and rollers re-ground etc But all in a bullet proof machine with an exellent kubota engine I never put anything bigger than 4 inch through it no point stressing it and any thing over 4 inches is loggable. Oh and regular oil changes , important on any engine. GOOD LUCK WITH IT in my opinion a good choice. Nick
