Pot,Kettle ?

If I may chuck me tanners worth into this most worthy,erudite debate. I use the word "tanner"......sixpence,half a shilling,24 to a pound purely to show me age....One who remembers fully what went on...not by hearsay,not by connection. Its not what went on then (79 onwards) but what preceded it. The staple base of the UK was Coal,Steel and heavy industry....the peak of the culmination of these three was a SHIP.....something we were particularly good at,aye and the manning of the same. The demise of the famous three started coming about in the mid sixties........anybody here know what a general cargo ship is ???.....Containerisation was on its way.......Coupled with a blinkered attitude by both management and labour force we dug ourselves such a hole that everything and everybody had to fall into it. Fast forward a decade...the UK had successfully managed to stab itself in both feet,give itself a heart attack and manage a brain haemorrage at the same time......no mean feat really. Inevitably things had to change......Someone had to be at the forefront of that change......Well we all know who that was..... From the mid sixties onwards we as a society started to live in an ever changing world,and that pace of change is even more relevant today. So why the vitriol I ask myself...........She didn't bomb your Granny......"They" did mine...but I don't hold it against "Them" now. Perhaps now as a society,and I refer to the ever changing world we need a focus...... I'll give you "Ying and Yang".....When Princess Di tragically died there was such an outpouring of public grief leading to flower tributes all over the show these days...The death of Mrs Thatcher,I would suggest is the Yang..... Do these sort of events assauge our desire to love and to hate ???? If so......I think we all need to get back into the real world and get away from the soap opera mentality. This is in no way meant to offend any member but purely my take on it,I've sat on me hands for long enough BTW Going back when I'd happily free climb from top plates to inside funnel top......Climb a tree.....no chance...But love to see you people do it. Respect for what you do .

That was the 4JX1 engine fitted to the Trooper with CAT designed HEUI fuel system....Now out of production for over 8 years.The new(er) Isuzu common rail diesel is a good engine(as fitted in latest pick ups.

As you say,there is an optimum range,upper and lower,where the oil viscocosity is low enough not to allow metal/metal in the spool but high enough to not overstress the system as a whole.

Beg to differ "Oil operating temperature should not exceed 200° F. (93° C.) with a maximum of 180° F. (82° C.) generally recommended. 120° F to 140° F. (50° C. to 60° C.) is generally considered the optimum system operating temperatures. High temperatures result in rapid oil deterioration and may point out a need for an oil cooler or a larger reservoir. The nearer to optimum temperature, the longer the service life of the oil and the hydraulic components. "

Try your local orchard owners....

Oh no they haven't

As John said...but can you post up a serial/vin number please,it would help more in the sector that I work in.

Live the dream.....

One for Mr Fox

Hence the ? to IC Trees Correct dressing is the way (tooth that is ) no big deal if done on a regular basis...all part of looking after your machine..

Obviously spent too much time lurking around on here

How many hours before you chuck a tooth away ?

Ahhhh..maybe see ya around then,Merc Sprinter.....Timberwolf chipper one side,Carlton 7015 on t'other

GMSG.....In Heathfield East Sussex ? If so ......small world

Hellooo,just my thruppence worth Once you have a website,people look for many different reasons apart from looking to employ you...A good site gives you credence,for example for forestry hire outfits,a gallery showing all your machinery and yourself(s) in action complete with all PPE,taped off/guarded areas etc will give viewers the confidence that they are dealing with a professional outfit..(which I have no doubt that you are ) Your site may be the first introduction to all sorts that you may deal with in the future.....I think its looks good but as has been said before me some tuning IMHO is required. Please don't take this as a knock back,its not just a take on it from someone involved in other aspects of the arb industry........Good luck with it

Good one Rich

Long time lurker and don't post much,but got to say well done Mr Fox and all of them that gave a bit,a great tale,and a great result Spot On...

Plus the fact that you have a "failsafe " system...

Carlton Razor Cut

True to a certain extent,but the ability of the tread pattern to clear mud/clay from the tread blocks is the important thing.....This is where the KL71 comes into its own....even aired down the tread blocks don't converge.

Try looking on ITOCUK You'll be alright up to 265/75/16 (31") over that you'll be clouting stuff on full suspension travel.(Thats applicable to the Trooper,but I'm pretty sure its the same for the Rodeo) KL71's-Yep good tyre,sidewalls are a bit weak compared to some so you need to watch out offroad on rocky stuff----I'll be lucky if I get 15K out of mine
