    Wood chipper to make wood shavings

    Hi all, This may be a daft question, but I am wondering if it is possible to make wood "shavings" instead of chips with a wood chipper. I have read some stuff that indicates that it is possible with a wood chipper, but before I spend money on a PTO chipper for my tractor and rush into a...

    A couple of pics from England - my 5065e

    Sure, will post more pics. It worked well, but the photo is nearly a year old, and it was my first ever ploughing effort. It may not have been perfect, but it did the job. I went from this To this A couple of weeks later And then another few weeks later

    A couple of pics from England - my 5065e

    Some pics from "sunny" England and my little 5065E hard at work. I haven't used her since December and I am itching to get back into the tractor seat. Weather is starting to look ok and the fields are starting to dry out. Building a shed. The reason for the rope? We have had gales with...

    Mower needed for heavy hay and light brush

    You need a flail mower, as already suggested. You said that HP does not matter. Well it does. You can get a flail mower that needs 40 HP, or you can get one that needs 120+ HP, so how much HP does your tractor have? I use a flail mower for cutting heavy grass and rushes. The cutting width is...

    Mowing Is mowing a pasture supposed to be this hard?

    Thanks :) A lot of hard work has gone into it in the last couple of years and it's starting to come together. The tractor is "Euro spec" so it's a bit different to what you're used to. The front load is a 533 with self levelling and they replaced the standard joystick with the fancier and more...

    Mowing Is mowing a pasture supposed to be this hard?

    There are many factors that come into this like the type of soil, the gradient and so forth so trying to make some x hp / foot rule and sticking to it isn't always a good idea. You have a pretty powerful tractor and you should be using implements that match it correctly, otherwise you're just...
