Swag reach around for notcher

I have the baleigh tn76 tube notcher and have been looking at the upgrades from swag off-road for the jd2 notchmaster (They look very similar and look like the upgrades will fit my baleigh th 76)

Have any of you used the swag stuff on the notcher I have and are they worth it? It does look a really usefully bit of kit even if it does seem a little expensive here in the UK.

I'm primarily looking at the reach around arm but have also considered the goat bracket.

Thanks in advance

Adam

It looks very similar if not exact, I have the notchmaster and i like it over the TN100 i have. I got the SWAG arm after about 20 or so notches and kicked myself for not getting is sooner. The reacharound along with the GOAT have been great.
Im sure you could make or have made the arm cheaper locally.

Thanks for the reply, they do look good bits of kit, I will have a measure up and see what it will take to make one.

Reach around arm is awesome on JD2 NM, made my own GOAT but will likely buy the Swag piece.
