We use it to patch roads in a one hit repair it is dot spec try it I was sceptical about it it seems to work make sure you use joint paint between new and old and compact it well then do some more the more care you take the better it looks try to get a nice clean vertical edge ,we use 3mm size with a 10 MM deep edge compact with a flat punner on small areas and Whacker plate on larger areas cut back to good tarmac/ ashphalt give the surface a good sweep before using any cleaners and make sure none are left before patching

Look at viafix pothole repair you lay it with water we use it on level crossing immediate repairs and not hot

What size do you get machine flow or the flow in the drain pipe?

Should it not also have a positive connection to the steering ie steel and not rely on hydraulic pipes

Looks like cab frame distorted means tops/fops no longer valid

I asked about this and was told the valve would be in permanent float unless the leaver was pulled or pushed to operate the valve,

Hydraulic rotation or not. It depends on what you are doing and how good you are on the machine, The bmg on a boom is good for loading the chipper if it’s got rotation but very poor if you are skidding or dragging logs out, however it can only carry the log horizontal so making the machine with load either wide or long, if you use a Klou style grab you can also carry the log vertically good in confined space and you can also grab standing trees shrubs and posts etc these are manual rotation with a locking pin, with hydraulic rotation when you break a pipe you have a mess to clean up.a good operator should be able to nudge the grab into the right position without hydraulics, plus you will also need to have two services to the head stock or a electric switched valve and wire something else to catch, snag or go wrong, mini loaders pick up far less than you want them to so the closer to the machine the grab the more you pick up, personally I like the Klou grab but your machine your choice.

Just a thought, a man can never have too many tractors or chainsaws. push the boat out and buy two it’s great to have a spare!!!Grammar

For me there is nothing like a real book on the shelf

I think you should let it all out no good keeping it in

There is a phrase. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. All logs burn

To get so you can double red traffic lights you need to apply for a open notice to work in the road or verge no open notice or not complying with notice conditions is a big fine and big cash cow for the local highways department’s

If you don’t tell them the fine gets horrendous

Thought it was cheap if the tree is dangerous why are you not dealing with it today ? get another prize for your TM

which road are you closing just finished working there tonight’s who doing your tm?

Speak to them, emergency notice usually is given on the day, find out who the local highway inspector is, where is the job my assistant has phone numbers for quite a few round England and Wales

Emergency tm means just that roll up on the day and inform the highways what’s going on we do three a week you need to contact highways yourself and talk it through They will be able to give input usually they will give you times for work usually after nine and finish by 3.30 as you are not digging up the road if you are closing the whole road you are down for all diversion costs you traffic management price seems cheap

5yrs finance is about £500 a month on 27 k

Stick welder inverter and some good rods mine will run 3.2mm good for most buckets

That’s very cheap would be more round here

For it to be worth writing the paperwork I’d have thought £10.00 a week/£2.00 a day for your insurance is a reasonable figure mines for four people 5 million pl 10 million el you should really be looking at 2.5/5 million public liability just to cover yourself

Less!!!! mines nearly ten grand rip his arm off

Afa rock are worth a look depending on budget, old style avant all metal no electrics and half the price

Show us some pictures of bar and chain if you haven’t sharpened chain for 14 years could be your problem
