525 LPG, construction spec.

You are goading me into a compact loader off! All I will say is yes, the rear wheels weren't providing quite the same traction as the front This was another lifted out from a boarder using the same technique. Slightly heavier...
-
And for what you gain from being puncture proof... [ATTACH]213579[/ATTACH] Foam filled tyres giving extra counter weight and puncture resistance, are the way to go for a wheeled loader. Can be pricey though.

Yes all around very useful.....doin a proper bodge job on the old shed roof this morning...

Agreed. All these things are brilliant, but no ultimate solution in one package, unfortunately! Greater L/min on the Vermeer is another point in its favour.

Yep, the shear is a great bit of kit. Makes for an extremely powerful grab with the blade folded away. Really good for breaking unions in, and cutting up brash ready for chipping. As the pincers come to a point, it easily penetrates wood enough to pick up sections greater in diameter than the grab opening, which I was relieved about, as it only opens to 77cm.

Yep. That is the tree shear attachment, but on that one I grabbed it, then did a step cut beneath to be able to lift it away.

While important I wouldn't get too caught up about width, as suggested. Nothing against the skid steers, fantastic bits of kit, but make a mess of the ground compared to articulated loaders. The 500 series will comfortably get through a 4ft gap. I did go for an Avant, for me the reasons being - sturdy ROPS roof increases safety around falling objects. Telescopic boom which greatly increases lifting, loading, pushing, placing ability. Oh, and I like sitting down

If memory serves correctly, about £250...

Most certainly, a vast improvement. Sits about 35mm higher in general. I had a local mechanic fit mine, but should be quite easy if you've got the spare time. The bolts that hold the spring into the mount at either end can become corroded and prove difficult to get out, as was the case with mine.

Hi Treefolk, Your existing leafs will be 3+2 I should imagine. I ordered some 4+2 leafs through this company for my ranger tipper, good product and helpful people. Hope that helps. LCV & HGV Leaf Springs | Vehicle Spring Fitting - CSS Online Ltd

Hi shillo, Quite right, the bar does get in the way sometimes. But it's easy to lift out if needs be. Alternatively the tipper can be raised up so it shoots over the bar. If I'm not taking ladders to site then I may leave the hood and bar off, and just have the box. I have to say I like the fact it breaks down to a dropside/flat bed, often comes in handy.

Inosculation on Fagus sylvatica f. purpurea A branch that didn't like the look of the world!

Cheers...Very pleased with it. Courtesy of BL Searle body builders.

Why yes it most certainly is my man...Damn well spotted.

Hi openboater, I had some 4+2 leafs made up for my 07 supercab post conversion. It sits well now and copes admirably when fully loaded. Not a great deal of difference in the ride either, though obviously slightly stiffer, but on the plus side does handle better!

When it's on site I will use it just to get my lunch from the truck! We had quite a few tonnes of cypress coming out in that photo Mull, just happened to be shifting the ramps when I took the photo.

Hello everyone! Was following this thread with interest, so I thought I'd bump it up with a couple of pics of our JD2027r..... Photos are shifting wood on site this week and in the yard....Cheers

Hi there, Yep had the pcw5000 for a couple of years now, so quite well versed in them. Good piece of kit, certainly worth having. Often find ourselves using it to do all sorts from pulling out small trees to moving plant in/out of site. Certainly well put together and does what it claims to. If I had to pick a negative it would be that whilst it is possible to lock it off mid pull, it does not have the same click by click secure nature of the traditional style winch we might be used to (tirfor etc.). When pulling over trees it is all or nothing for example.... Hope this is of some help to you.
