  1. Have 1 guy start at 7.30 am, and finish at 5.30 pm. He can get everything ready and the do the maintenance and refuelling at the end of the night. That way the team don't need to leave the job at 3.30pm to get back to the yard to dump everything at their backside, not tidy out the van and leave the yard in their trainers at 4.25pm:sneaky2: They bring a packed lunch and theirs no going to the chippy or bakers during the working day.
  2. Rake turned up today and fitting grab in the morning.
  3. Sounds like a good job, i thought heather had to be burnt to regen.
  4. Get the heaters and radio disconnected aswell!!
  5. If you have any concerns, report it to us and we can deal with it please.
  6. Cheers, I'm desperate to get my grab on! I've orderd a 4 ft rake aswell so be nice to dress things up with ease.
  7. Chris your pole saw was upside down in your garage! Best clean out the spongey filter to keep things right! It may sound a bit spluttery:)
  8. Before and after pics of the tree and a cross section of the rot within the stem would help.
  9. Hi Eddie, thanks for all that info, yes this little machine has hydraulics galore as it was a high specked machine that never got sold. Everything you say makes sense from what I can see but the bit that doesn't tick the box for me is if i turn a tap to work the grab then I can't put any angle on the grab when in use, I would need to set the angle that suits best and then lock it off, which I don't want. If could get the rotation or open /close put onto that rocker switch instead of the Cat foot pedal that would be great as its awkward to us on the heel. When the new hitch and diverted valve turn up the little foot pedal can get mounted where I like, so I will put it further forward. I'm really impressed with the power, it's got. Some of those big timbers today were about 2 ton and moved them about effortlessly.
  10. Pics for hydraulic guys and what do these buttons on the joysticks do(Eddie)
  11. Ill take some pictures of my hydraulics for you today Eddie and you can give me your thoughts.
