That looks good mate , mine was able to be lifted up and down on the tractors hydraulics , it also had a lever with a rope to the cut off on the tractor incase you got tangled . the other useful thing it had was a hinged table ,hinged at the side so if a log got jammed on the screw you could hinge the table to the side and unwind the log off the screw .

Thank you. I will buy a cheap brake cable tomorrow to operate the throttle. I'm planning on using an old racing bike lever as the throttle control, cut the throttle and the engine stops within a rev or two. Yes, a hinged table top would be an idea, maybe for the next one I build :D
I recently experienced Plymouth City centre so that's why I prep.
