I won’t undo them Alex, I’ll tighten them. Start low then add 10Nm incrementally until it clicks. Try it with a few then I’ll know. If they were right in the first place…. I find it baffling that I can’t find out? Surely the tension in your nuts is fairly important? @doobin?

MEWP bender.

Still no answer on what torque I need in the loader thread, so I’ll have a play with my Teng torque wrench and see what they’re nipped up to. My mate has lent me his mid-range Makita, so I’ll have a play with that and report. Thanks for your input as always fellas. Apart from @monkeybusiness, you utter heathen!

Joking aside Dan I’m always really honest about lawn damage. When the difference between ‘none’ and ‘a few dents’ comes in at £1k we’re usually pretty good either way.

Done.

Down by 9.30. Barely dented.

It was pretty much mint mate, had been used as a demonstrater/fleet vehicle by the Ford garage.

Not necessarily Dan, if you can get to Willesborough in Ashford for 8.30?

If it dents, it dents….

The kinetic ones are quick, but all the ones I’ve seen look like they’ll smash themselves to bits in no time. And send those gnarly seasoned logs with loads of stored energy will fly around like hand grenades!

Choke point for access is a 2 1/2’ wide gate, which wouldn’t have come out without a load of mither, and felling some shrubs.

Yes. Main block stayed in the blue area, and second pulley went wherever required. Slighty below your RHS high point at one stage. We sort of feel we’ve won, we can knock it over when it gets to just below where Ross’s feet are. But it’s a 3’ diameter butt and it’s all got to be handballed up the garden, down a side alley, across a front lawn and onto the trucks.

Day one on a dead willow takedown. Plenty of targets. Ross Smith doing a stellar job up top. Only produced about 2.5m3 of chip, which is hardly surprising. We’ve guesstimated 5 truck loads of heavy, and there’s no machine access, so the sack truck and wheelbarrow will get a workout tomorrow. IMG_0528.mov

I’m normally a fan of overkill Dan, but it really won’t get used for much other than mini loader wheel changes. It’s a oner difference I can spend on rough Shiraz and cheap plastic shite for the kids this Christmas.
-
Thanks Dan, but it’s for some wheel nuts on a mini-loader. I haven’t got an aircraft carrier!
-
What are people torquing their wheel nuts to? I can’t find out an answer online or anywhere in the manual for my Worky Quad SSQ11+. I could check existing with my torque wrench, but find it a bit strange that they don’t have the correct figure readily available.

Are you calling me a scaffolder?

Have you got any batteries and chargers you don’t want?

They do look good. Another great vid.
