    THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!

    • FOR SALE
    • USED

    After gauging interest up for sale is our trusty Ford 7710 winching tractor. Specs: - 97HP - 8200 hours - Starts and runs on the button - Good tyres - Brakes perfect - Shifts through all gears no problem - Front 3 point linkage - Igland Double Drum PTO winch mounted on rear with direct chain to cog drive. Each drum has 30m length cables with two sliders on each. This winch is solid and a testament to its build quality and the 7710 gives it plenty of grunt. - Forestry spec'd skid guards for underbody and cab. - Not road registered - Cab is in need of a bit of TLC as can be seen in photos. But nothing a new seat and a couple of hours welding some of the window sills won't fix. These old Ford's are simple solid workhorses that are easy to work on, cheap parts and built to last. Sad to see her go but she is just not getting used now. Will be perfect on a woodland contract for someone to quickly bring in some coin. Tractor is in Bangor, North Wales. I can easily arrange Haulage country wide. Price is +VAT

    £7,500

    Bangor, North Wales - GB

    That would be ideal, thanks very much Khriss!

    Yes exactly, just safety. That sounds like a sensible option you've suggested. Thanks

    Its a general H&S tree report, walk over survey. Roughly 150 trees, client wishes to see site overview map and then report tables with associated photos will be fine. However, I am likely to be undertaking more BS5837 surveys in the future also. I have access to Autocad on my laptop, so looking for my best options for making my life easier but not bankrupting me! Cheers!

    Hi Guys, Looking for some very basic software that would simply enable me to GPS tag tree's on the ground and then produce these tags onto an aerial/OS type map. Is there any free/opensource software programmes people are using or is it a case of going for producers like Ezytreev and Pear Technology? Many thanks!

    Hi guys, Got a weigh up on these 2 machines. The Rayco RG13 is 2010, but is as good as new really. 190kg, direct drive, rayco super teeth, 18 inch cut below deck. Honda 13HP. Rock Machinery SGR-33 - Brand New with warranty, 135kg, drive belt system, 8 green teeth, 16inch below deck cut. Briggs & Stratton 13hp I can get both for £2k. Just concerned on build quality of the Rock Machinery model and longevity compared to the Rayco. Any thoughts please? Cheers

    Brilliant, thanks Woody Paul. I don't suppose there is any chance of a copy of your manual please? Happy to cover costs..?

    Hi Paul, Just after all the fluid levels, oil types etc. I would need to know for a full service. Does your manual have this?

    Hi Guys, Thanks for the responses. Yes, my main concern was around the 3/8 chain being up to the task and not overstressing any working parts due to the lo-pro not being rated for the 880. I'll just stick with the 404 then! Thanks again

    Hi guys, Does anybody have a manual for this series of Kubota engines please!? Looking to give old girl and good service!

    Hi Guys, Looking to get a new setup on the 880 for milling. Was considering changing from .404 ripping chain to 3/8 lo pro chain, gb bar and sprocket to match. I realise this is not rated for the 880, any opinions? Many thanks

    Hi guys, I'm replanting 2.05 ha on a local estate in the next couple of weeks. 30% Sitka, 20% Lodegpole then 50% mixed broadleaves. There will likely be lots more planting on the estate in the next few years, I am curious as to opinions on what planting equipment you would recommend? We were just going to go in with spades/spits and make shift sacks to hold the trees! Worth investment in other gear? All the best James

    Thanks for all the helpful replies guys, much appreciated.

    Hi Guys, I'm after some advice on what banks people use for their business use. I am currently just using a current personal account but need to change this so all business use just stays in the one account rather than mixing it with my non-business personal spends! Is it worth staying with a current/personal account, but just a new separate one from my personal spends? Or a specific business account? My turnover is only low <£15k per annum. Any ideas on good banks/account ideas out there? Cheers James

    Just gave them a ring, its not the top handled version on sale I'm afraid. Still a decent price for rear handle though...
