Morning all,

 

More hedge trimming today. We fitted foam pipe insulation round the shaft of the long reach cutters. Much less vibration gets through to left hand. Also wearing padded gloves.

 

Still not heard from Peds have we?

Good Morning All.

Meeting a machinist this morning to see about producing a proper prototype of the handiest thing in treework since child tax credits. Obviously I made a fairly significant (0.5kg) change to the design at 02:10 and haven't been to bed yet.

We await with bated breath.

Small hose went on the grinder yesterday. 
It was deep in the machine (well one end was anyway) so hydraulic tank out, petrol tank out, lots of pipes disconnected. 
However, we got there, got a replacement pipe made up in town. 
Rebuilding today. 
A penny saved is a penny earned as they say.

i bought a pipe swager and pipe and common fittings a couple of years back now, great investment and such a time saver. plus the cost of pipes (obviously excluding the setup costs) is phenomenally cheap, for example a 1m hose with a fitting on each end costs me about £7

Bit beyond me to do that tbh. 
We have a brilliant Hydraulic shop in the nearby town. 
Admittedly the pipe was €70, but it still beats having it sit in the corner of some tractor suppliers workshop for 3 weeks and a €600 bill (for work done by the apprentice)

Morning Team. Off to see a tree bloke who we done a big favour too who is going to kick me in the shins! Moral of the story? Tell them how much the repair is before you bend over!

 

Have a good day y'all!
