sparrow legs Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 only 2 years groath i guess, a level top would have finished the job off a treat;). what are the joy stick flails like to operate? the one i own/drive is cables and the 2 i drive for a local contrator are cables, i prefere them as you have the "feel" of the movement, i guess with a joystick its all or nothing \ what do the new bomfords go like? mines 25 years old and still makes a great finish if you take the roller out on hedges.

nashmach Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Saw a Fiat 180-90 once on hedge cutting duties and all it was doing was trimming verges must have been costing its owner a lot to keep her going doing this as a 90hp tractor would be more than sufficient. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 does it have the full electric controls or the basic joystick? our bomford has the basic one seems to work fine although its quite slow to lift you need to think ahead we also have a spearhead again with a joystick it works quite quick but the controls take up a lot of room in the cab.

sparrow legs Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 we have 6m reco ferri hedge cutters, one on a mf 6180 and the other on a mf 6270, the 6180 is well balanced but the 6270 could soon be rolled into a dyke, on 3pl not axle mounted. my bomford 470 is axle mounted and you dont know you have it on even reaching down deep dykes.

Tractorman810 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 the farms bomford was axel mounted on a 690, very stable arround the ditches when it was used,saw one of those new bomfords in at the nh dealers the other day,being fixed again, guys only had it this season, and been back 4 times so he was saying, but when it works very good bit of kit he reconed, he had it on a valmet 8???
