Salt is no problem wet, on mine it's the sandy red grit that just goes solid on mine, I've found putting less in the bin is better than filling it right up, it's practice and learning as you go, I kept blowing fuses with the spinner so I keep the rumbler going all the time, if I've had to drive a few minutes to where I'm gritting then I dig the middle out with my shovel before spreading. Nice kit guys!

Definitely, if it's not dry it just goes solid with the vibration!

The pedal control is just the diverter, I control the grab with a switch on the right joystick, when I tap the pedal it changes from open/shut to rotate left/right. Really simple

I've got a plough for the front aswell.

Picture of operating height please before I start to criticise:laugh1: Looks good, is it compulsory to wear a pink Pringles tank top when splitting and if a bit skites off do you have to shout FOUR!! -

Not sure of bucket and rake weights. The rake is heavy I know that, I can spin it about on the deck easily but it's a hernia job trying to lift it if I ever try. The grab is 130kg, got it on today and the pipes didn't match the connectors, gutted!! Tomorrow morning I'll be grabbing and stacking. The rakes brilliant !

It's monsoon now here!!! Winds gusting aswell.

It's going on a 3.5t Ifor Williams . That model comes in at 2.7t, trailer 800 kg so all good. Buckets and accesories will go on Mog .

Winds picking up here!

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.

Rake turned up today and fitting grab in the morning.

Looks like its coming away nicely with pine!
