Drones are amazing pieces of kit, and you need some practice and skill to fly them. I got a small one which has decimated the house plants, scared seven shades out the the cats and I still dare not take it outside for fear of losing it! Good luck to him!

Save up and get a GreenMech?

Ex hire machine?

Update! Finally got mine back. To be fair, they went on furlough for a while then they were doing only urgent works. I asked what had been done but got told, "everything Ford told us to!" And Ford paid the expected +£2k bill. I did ask if they expected to see me again and they told me that if it goes again, one of two things could happen, firstly, they would prefer me to crash it hard and secondly, the Ford Technician would have to trails North again! It was really weird getting into a smooth automatic, comfortable, powerful and tight suspension etc. Rather than the frankly awful 63 plate, 2.2 manual old reps Express!

If it is as in the picture, don't bother, the infeed chute controls etc do not adhere to the HS&E regulation.

I thing that later versions had a secondary fan mounted externally to the shredding chamber.
-
Talk to Timberwolf direct, I think that another fan can be fitted to increase "blow".

Would be a handy piece of kit! Big crane, 55t at one meter, advertise yourself to Western Power for pole and transformer work. Farmers mate for steel shed erecting. Bit of machine moving etc....good find Ben.

Try talking to Nick at Joe Turner Equipment, he should know what goes off!

Agree with the above, I but more observations or info needed. Smoke from the exhaust? Smoke from wiring? Smoke when hot?

I just meant to tow the ordinary tow behind flail while standing on the platform!
-
Got any pictures of yours on site work? Interesting alternative use for kit!
-
9kay to tow the flail though?

Would an Iron Horse tractive unit do?

Nothing was done when the new battery was fitted, how would you reset the battery management system anyhow?

My Discovery 4 started to misbehave the other day, restricted performance and when I plugged in the OBD2 device, it came up with a fault code for charging issues and it was only reading 12.9v at 2000rpm. After a right battle, I fitted a new alternator. The battery was new about 8 months ago and the indicator is green. Took it up the road and the dash lit up with every fault going! HDC,EBD, Gearbox, ABS blah blah blah.....I tried the trick of disconnecting the battery for 20mins then keeping the car pos and neg together to reset the ECU, but it still says "charging fault". OBD says we are getting 13.9v at 2000 rpm. Anyone got a clue?

Back in the day, (maybe 30 years ago) I had a couple of twin cylinder Echo saws. They were good! Thirsty but by god, they cut cut!

Home schooling - anyone else had a bit of a shock??
PeteB replied to Squaredy's topic in General chat
Thinking of the original post, I did say to my son that I'm glad that he and his sister are done with formal learning and don't live with me. Partially because I'm not sure that it would go well, I'd struggle with it and partially that I'm "old school", and my education wouldn't suit the modern temperament! Proper maths, trig tables, equations etc, no calculator etc. Hand writing rather than electronic typewriters and keyboards. Books rather than screens etc, and the biggy - discipline! Very best wishes to those who are having this task and to teachers in ordinary times! -
Mower engine needs fuel pump button pressing
PeteB replied to cryptogram's topic in Maintenance help
Blocked fuel line or filter or could be lazy pump that starts to get better with work or heat? -
Forst will have a record of who they sold it too.

Alpine tractors, importing/buying from afar....
PeteB replied to IronMike's topic in Large equipment
One of the caveats with getting a grey import or importing yourself is checking whether parts and service are available in the UK. Some importers or suppliers don't handle grey import machines and you end up in bother! Better now with the internet etc to get stuff and parts from abroad but still a ball ache! A well known brand of tractor/mower/digger/engines with a sizeable position in the UK will put the phone down on a parts call if they didn't import it! -
Interesting that it has a blue block joiner with a loose spade connection. Not a factory modification.
-
Sorry Matt, have you tried Overland or the Germans? John Mason?

Having a cull and this is sat in my office space for long enough - who wants it? Genuine HF260 Ops Book, Maintenance and Spare Parts Manual. It gets binned in 48 hours! Cheers
