    you sound like you have got it sorted ,work, family, money, balanced.i did too many years too cheap,and struggled. I think I have it sorted now,but life would be sweeter if someone had pointed me in the right direction earlier.thats where websites like this can really help people.

    they all seem to advertise trailer cranes not just trailers ive looked at the new botex ,I don't like the square bolster pins and sockets when loaded all the pressure is pushed into a corner (and they do split )on a round pin the pressure is distributed round the socket collar much stronger.years ago botex did make a single beam trailer with round bolster pins I would love to get hold of one of these and recondition it

    that person was me, and if it helps your sale I an really pleased with my tractor (same spec crane and tractor) and it has already earnt me a lot of money jobs, that would have been 2 1/2 to 3 days completed in a day.so if you are thinking of getting one for forestry and arb work bite the bullet and buy one they will soon pay for themselves.not only do they earn you money they save a lot of physical effort and keep your cutters /gang happy.hope this helps .nick

    been looking for a timber trailer to go behind the tractor seem to be impossible to find . nobody seems to advertise bolster trailers (approx. 10t ) new or secondhand they all have cranes fitted, coming to the conclusion I will have to buy new with a 3pl demountable crane. any advice appreciated

    I would go for a 4cyl turbo valtra 100 hp + with swivel seat and 10 t timber trailer with demountable 3pl crane 6 meter reach this will give you a versatile set up for most situations (small scale forestry and arb work) as for the tipping trailer idea ,pretty useless for forestry work ,load bed too high affects stability,solid floor and solid sides a pain in the arse when trying to grab and unload wood just pick up an old farm trailer and use it with the 3 pl crane when you need a tipper. swivel seat in tractor saves a lot of back ache but you could run the trailer crane off of your Kubota initially to see how much forestry work comes in. timber trailer definately go for a steering drawbar very useful in the woods getting tight turns round trees stumps etc

    we use 200 ml glyphogan (roundup) with 50 ml pastor used to be (grazon) in a 10 litre water mix . the roundup is systemic (kills roots) and the pastor is a broadleaf specific. this mix kills everything.if you cant find pastor look up the active ingredient ( ie roundup is glyphosate) they may have re named it again.

    go to digbits I bought a 3 +2 for a 1 1/2 tonner it was delivered within a week .have a look at their web site and ring them with your machine details if they don't have it in stock they make it within a couple of days .a very helpful company.
