It's the way regs are headed though, expect to see more and more chippers designed that way.

Go to settings, and change spell check language from Klingon to English (UK). -

That should be "opposed". Sorry couldn't resist a good pedant thread! -
Make one of the dudes swim.

Another happy customer!

Higher Blackley area used to be ok, across Blackley New Road into Crumpsall and Harpurhey there are some pretty scummy areas. About 5 years since I worked in that area though. Most of Manchester is posh areas cheek by jowl with scummy sink estates.

Lack of prep is usually what causes peeling, I blast clean first, but you don't want to do that to your zintec as it will take the coating off. I haven't used zintec myself, but a good steam clean, wire brush, then clean with white spirit should get it ready. If its a smallish area get an aerosol of acid etch primer, and finish with an enamel gloss. (Or Dulux, it will look just as good) You can get aerosols of primer for about a fiver off ebay.

I use single pack acid etch primer on bare steel or ally, that is solvent based. Avoid all 2 pack paints unless you know what you are doing and have air fed mask etc, they can make you very ill very quickly. Unless you have a decent compressed air spray setup already, I wouldnt bother spraying. The main advantage of spraying is speed, you will get just as good a finish with a roller, it will just take a bit longer. As Treequip says, the key is in the prep.

Dulux black gloss and a foam roller. Steam clean with traffic film remover if possible first.

Unfinished project. Well, technically unstarted project.

I would buy a new harness, but the only one I'd buy is a TM, and there is nothing wrong with the one I'v got.
-
My TM, (which I bought from you incidentally) is 5 years old and still going strong!
-
Yup, by far the best imo, bought mine new in November.
-
Is that before or after?
-
Some harnesses have a longer life span recommended by manufacturer. EKN Kolibri for instance, 7 or 8 years as I recall.

Is ivy not poisonous to livestock?

Hydrostatic also uses hydraulic fluid to power and brake the wheels, so no engine power = dead stop very quickly. Articulated steer dumpers on the other hand have direct driven wheels but hydraulic steer, and they can be road registered.

Cheers Nick!

Diesel engine, hydrostatic drive and steering.

I use 8mm ap on velocity.

I think mine has done 16 hours so far. Acorn have had QCs since they first came out, theirs must have some serious hours/ abuse.

East of England Cutters & Climbers Comp 2012 (and results!)
Peter replied to Amelanchier's topic in Climbers talk
Well done everyone who competed, I am far too fat and lazy to climb in the rain so I opted out! -
Not used one, but its only 26hp with a feed opening of 6.3"x7.9". The GM has about the same size infeed and the turntable, but 34hp and still under 750kg.
