If that could fit surely the long sockets would fit?

No a socket can't go on as starter body in the way.

Probably the same as the rest of the masseys all you need is patience with a 13 spanner

Ya, I had seen that. Reckon the same but with open spanner might work, which is what a crow foot spanner is.

The one for the JD was a 9/16 spanner so just be sure you have the right size before you start. That one I made up worked a treat and I have it left in the toolbox for the next time its needed. The ring spanner tended to centre itself well particularly when you can't see what you are doing. The open one could be a pain in that regard - slipping off

Also the ring end allows for 1/12 of a turn where the open one is has to be 1/6 or nothing!

Was it just a book that was scanned or an actual pdf that you can search for the part you need info on?

Buford T. Justice XIX · 03-09-2020 07:49PM

Said I'd post herselfs wedding anniversary present. Yeah, i know, I'm dead:D

Good tyre's anyway, about 8'6" in height.

Cab view is good, much better than a side mounted. Need to replace lefthand rear view mirror alright.

The control centre. Everything needed on the joystick. Accelerator and brake on the floor, and handbrake, won't move till the handbrake is off. The toggle cylinder selects forward and reverse, top button extends the boom and middle retracts it. I'll have to wait till I get the grab on her to see how the grab opens and closes.

I'm sure she'll be thrilled...

Sure what else could she be looking for when she asked for an extending boom with good rubber on it? :rolleyes:

Say my name · 03-09-2020 08:25PM

I probably should post an update too!

That's a 16ft high shed and it goes a few feet above that.

This is the criticism I'd have. It's not really suited for behind electric fences. By right there'd need to be blade going 2 foot below the drive where it's attached to the arm.

This is really what it's suited for. Leylandi and garden hedges.

Job done on a hawthorn hedge.

Verdict. It's ok. It's not a flail hedgecutter though nor will it be competition. It's slow and you have to be careful with it.
Pro's. If it does block on the blade, nothing breaks. Just stop the lever for the blade. Back out and turn on again.

What is the boom performance on it?
Have a big telescopic version here and build quality still embaresses brand new jcb's with nearly 7k hrs on it.

Are you happy with it? Or expected more?

I've ordered a very similar one myself

Did you price or consider a slanetrac?

I kind of expected more.

The frame even though it's the heavier version can pull.
It's the nature of it's job that it's pulling the cuttings along when topping a hedge.

Even though it's a step up from a hand garden hedgetrimmer. A hand trimmer has a blade on the back. So you can go both ways for hard to reach dead ends.

I'm a bit meh on it.

None of the above.

I priced the Slanetrac.

It was a little more than the rear mounted at €3600. What put me off of it is it runs off of tractors Hydraulic pump, not sure my antique tractors would have the oil flow for that

I refuse to answer that on the grounds that she may one day read this thread.

But sure, who doesn't love a challenge;)

Pretty strong money considering its just a bracket fingerbar and hydraulic motor compared to boom etc. Would it be possible to gunter a fingerbar mower to a front loader with a hydraulic motor?

I had considered that too.

Clontrac sell a finger bar including motor by itself for €1000 and I've seen much cheaper ones online from some of the Alibaba type sites.

I've no idea yet. I'm waiting for a lad to sort euro brackets on the headstock but I've driven in and out if the sheep shed on her right and she manages beautifully so I'll be able to reverse out and fill the trailer no bother.

Whatever works the quick attach is what will work the grab.

Have you many attachments to go on it? You'll loose out on the handiness of the quick attach with the bracket you're making up. Would it be much more work to put new brackets on what you have?

Mooooo · 03-09-2020 10:58PM

Looks a decent headstock on it already,changing the brackets on existing attachments may be an option. What size grab do you think it would manage?

I don't know what weight each size of grab would be. I do know that the back end begins to get jumpy when moving pallets of fertilizer

Is it a matbro or a Kramer?
