is there any way of treating aphids that are affecting a hedge? to stop / reduce the damage

Exac-One Ltd - Timber Splitter

Doug will sort you out

should be simple to do. but you'l need to keep the isolator key.

never done it nyself tho but i have wondered about dong it

iy got a TP760 that was the one before the 150

good enough machine, id say its had a hard life before i got it but theres very little to it so easy maintained and fixed

how much is a new 160?

TP's are genarly quit good but id be surprised if your lorrys pto turns at the right speed to work it

would air in the system make the pedal go solid?

can you using the pedal to pump fluid threw to the salve cylinder blead nipple?

iv got one. they dont always collect the grass great if its damp, depends on the grass really

there no good on slopes altho i think theres a 4wd one out now.

youl need a lot of work for it if your thinking of buying a new one thats for sure lol

I took the arm off because last time the ball joint went I used a kit, but couldn't change the inner part because it needed pressing out and to do that I needed to take the arm off. the price difference between the complete arm and a kit was very little so I have just changed the whole lot this time

i usually just run a weld (150amp) around the inner bush. as the weld / bush cools it contacts and shrinks by a fraction of a mm, enough to let it fall out without taking the arm off

what was the reason for taking the arm off?

Where abouts in glasgow. im up that way on monday with the mog / trailer / hiab. can you leave them in 4meter lengths?

can you not just do a mushroom for them?

Battery / electric saws could easily become reality

i used to have a hiab mounted in one of my bodys. saved dragging it around if you dont need it. had to chain the front of the body down to save it twisting.

can you not find a local farmer to lift them out?

hamilton brothers at bishopton is your local agent for greenmech.

altho youd probibly get as much selling it yourself threw the clasifides on here

every now and then mine does it, usually when i pull away without max air pressure. i just stop and sit with it in neutral and flick the lever side to side til you can hear the hiss of the ram.

yep nothing better than finding a box fuel of neutrals, just as you'v pulled on to a bizy road

Why dont you look at taking on someone with the right tickets? that way you can get on with the work you already have.

maybe even look at long term hiring a digger

I will need to let it heal properly, surgeon said it will knit back together in approx 12 days, but I will need to be very carefull not to damage it

when i had stitches i didnt stop working. took about 3 weeks to knit.

best not to do anything and have 2 weeks off

looks nasty

it just shows how easy things go wrong

how long do you think youl be off work for?

I need to get a CSCS card sorted. As soon as i get it i can be working. A few questions:

Any idea how long it takes to come through once you've done the H and S test? and do you need the physical card before you can work or can i start whilst i'm waiting for it to arrive? any idea how how it takes to arrive?

you should be given a paper certificat at the test. valid as soon as you pass.

And does anyone know of any website or free resources where i can check out some example questions or find a syllabus so i can prepare for it?

theres a book. try looking on the net or talking to the test center

cheers

avant loader?

aah i see, its like that! If i hold down the aux pedal in the digger it makes the hydraulic pump creak/strain when the implement ram isnt in stroke, so unless i keep the logsplitter ram travelling all the time wont the digger hydraulic pump be strained all the time? Again, don't think this makes sense:blushing:

on your log splitter there should be a valve block? if so then it will circulate the oil when the rams not moving
