    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.

    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

    Hello , how are you ? Still got the holder? I'm good ,still working silly hours but it's good to be busy , although I did jack it in at lunch time today, I don't like being soaked through any more. Went home and serviced the saws instead. Good to hear from you . Nick

    Hello I have a 9 ton farmi remote winch on a valtra roof mount and I am near Shaftesbury. I do forestry contracting and I haven't come across anything I can't pull with pulley blocking or increasing the height of pull etc. If you need a hand for a day can you send me your number and will ring you because it takes me ages to type messages. Thanks nick.

    461 on a 20 inch bar with a 3/8 eight sprocket eats wood.

    You should talk to the coppice workers ,a small low impact outfit like that would be perfect for getting produce rideside without any damage. Like it.

    You wait until you have to try to claim for a stolen vehicle, you will be lucky to receive 70% of the value (of you vehicle) you based your policy on even though they openly admit they cannot purchase a similar vehicle for the reduced sum of money they are willing to pay out (even though they accepted your valuation of the vehicle at the beginning of the quote and based their policy upon this value)....left us (a young couple with a 1 yr old child) without a vehicle for 10 months until I could afford to replace it. ...... adrian flux = shits.

    It wouldn't have cost him anything to talk to Helen who would have explained what it is that he is likely to be dealing with ,sadly he didn't bother to call her,but then he obviously doesn't believe in an "ology " judging by his post of an "ology" If he wanted a detailed geological report of the site and cause of the ground conditions this would cost him, but only 300 pounds, and it could have been the answer to solving an ongoing problem that others have failed to resolve ,which makes you look good to your client and could lead to more work on neighbouring estates. Never mind we all do things differently. NIck
