Well, not strictly broken but certainly caused some grief. Our local Stumpbusters man (Chris Gregory, great bloke) called on me for rescue earlier this week. His Carlton 2.5 ton tracked grinder was on a side slope when the downhill track came off. It was at the bottom of a sloping lawn with only flimsy shrubs between it and a 3ft drop onto the lane beneath, and there was no way he could safely raise the side of the machine where it was to replace the track. We used my Series 3 Land Rover with PTO winch, with the vehicle linked to the Iveco tipper for an anchor. With Chris operating the track that was still on and the winch pulling on the other side we managed to drag the grinder along and uphill to level ground, where Chris then manage to get the track back on. I think that is the heaviest load the winch has pulled so far, and that was without using a pulley to double the pulling power. Pity I didn't take any pictures.

i do like a good adventure and that sounds like it was fun!

Poorly pole saw. I've ordered a battery husky to replace it, anyone want this echo ppt for spares etc?

Tracked chippers engine got fried when a gurt stick worked its way underneath the  track frame and tore off the bottom hose.For some reason the high limit stat never kicked in, probably because there was no water in it.

 

 

Engine rebuild time
