MEWP steering popped a seal this morning, hydraulic oil piddling onto a main road isn't so good so fashioned a wee potty for it to carry around all day as a sump, worked very well.

 

 

 

Yup something similar on a bandit chipper here with a small drip on roller motor seal. Seal kits gonenupnto 250 quid plus vat  😬 just keep sticking the tray under at the moment till I decide what I'm doing

I hold internet seminars on thoughtless and repeated damage of stuff if you want to sign some of your lads up.

One of our lads, "wreck it Ralph", has definitely been on your seminar. Going by his hit rate you're extremely successful.

Don't suppose you include a module on leaving a 500i, erm, huh, mmmm, somewhere....

It’s a battle tbh, I am undoubtedly a bit careless, so knowing that, I try consciously to make sure I place stuff like ground saws under chippers where they cannot be run over by loaders.

 

Most tree sites are (to a certain extent) lunatic asylums with noise, shouting and stuff dropping, so I don’t really lose much sleep over little bits like this, it’s inconvenient and a few quid, it happens.

 

Stuff like ropes going through chippers, groundies wandering under a dropsite, careless placing of saws and reckless use of the loader really get my gander up, which is not a pretty sight.
