  1. Is it possible to fit a pto hydraulic system to it like a landy defender?
  2. The 4 motion system is unreal.. sooo good, I pull my bandit 990xp around with my 180bhp dsg none 4 motion but will drop most things off the line even when towing the bandit 😂
  3. Currently for a canter but looking to get another truck to have on the company and was wondering if the there is much between the cabstars and the canters? Both look Smart but wanna know from anyone out there with both what they are like back to back? Cheers
  4. Hi Dave, Might be able to help you out with this with our mog and a silage trailer and might be able to sort another out to. message me or text call me 07919551110. simon
  5. currently looking to put a vavah jussi 400 crane on it. that way it won't overload the chipper at all as the weight it lifts isn't that of a farmi so hopefully this will stop someone overloading the crane. the crane i can get cheaper from my local vavah dealer than the winch kit ... plus the jussi crane has a winch on it so i can just use that. the issue with loading the chipper with the skid steer is you need to be practically tracking on top of the brash you want to load to push it as the arms are so small. don't get me wrong the skid steer will out drag anything like a little digger so its horses for course. but i can fill a 7.5t lorry with a machine feeding the chipper in 11mins, so I'm just looking for away to save me having to take 100 trucks to a job to pull kit in.. the crane on the back seems more self contained.
  6. This would show you what I mean by using a crane would be more effective as that's to big and bulky to lift in loads like that by hand
  7. Yeah I thought that, but we run a skidsteer so when ever there's dragging we just use that, the only thing we find is loading it with a machine is a lot more effective than by hand as you struggle to pick up what it will eat, so I though a small timber crane would feed it nice and quick. We feed if with the skidsteer but it's a bit of a challenge .
  8. Just wondering if anyone had though of this or was doing it on their 990?? I quite like the idea and have yet to speak to global if it's even an option but wondered if anyone else has done it ?? Would make loads of sense and production would be rapid. Cheers Si
  9. Pahahaha love it 😂. And I load it with a skidsteer and a mini digger. Another local firm to me load it with with there timber grab on there lorry 😁
  10. .... 2600kg. And that's more energy including the buckets we put in there to
  11. Our Ifor tipper trailer with high sides on a weigh bridge is 1100kg... Put the vermeer mini skid in there at 1.3t ... Plus the bucket or log grab and I'd say near 150-200kg ... Same weight as pulling the chipper around... But no one questions pulling that... Same goes for the tipper trailer and the mini digger in it... 2600kg . And we pulled that around all the time... Got 60k out of this truck pulling them about before we had to change the clutch .
  12. Also yeah I'm going to get the winch kit fitted at some point. Just buying a few attachments for the skidsteer these next few months so after that the winch kit will be a must have. Nope haha I live in Sussex on the South Downs .. Pretty hilly area, but the truck is 165bhp... It will out pull my new ranger with a 3.5t limit 0-60mph And pull up most hills third gear 30-40mph when loaded. Dual carriage ways it doesn't drop bellow 5th gear. Like fully loaded it will pull up 0-80mph nicely ( not saying I do as I obviously stick to 60) but I'm just saying you can . The lorry has been remapped thought so the touque curve is quite high, that said it doesn't really use much fuel . Well not compared to the ranger
