  1. Nice tractors pivot or axle steer check pto clutch can be expensive
  2. Your method of fixing will depend on the load on the bolts and type of load, shear pull or compression. Thermalise have little strength socare should be taken
  3. The panel is a 400kg sliding gate to lift into position is usually by a hiab, I would allow for four men minimum given the height, They are assembled in parts bottom track then the top welded on in panels, This one was hit by a car and had bent the track, its in a school so we had to take it to a safe area before we could cut or grind, these jobs are mostly done during school holidays , this one couldn’t wait.
  4. Maybe the pedal balance unit is worn £250 I think one of the few bit you need to get from avant, if you take the front panel of mud can build up around the pedals so stopping them returning to zero. There is also two grease nipples that might need a couple of pump. You don’t say how old the machine is I’ve had wheel motors break down on the old machines and destroy all the seals usually shown by the arm and bucket rams slowly going down under load with the machine turned of and the machine slowly moving down hill when parked
  5. This is the same machine with the skip fitted, what rate do you think same ,more or less
  6. No hire only operated with cost of operator on top my plan is to keep the machine to supplement my income in retirement
  7. I take that on board and may need to revisit my figures
  8. Are you sure you don’t need a bigger one
  9. The chain drive makes for less pushing power and not a smooth drive, the chain drives can fill up with mud, they need more looking after. The later 520 multiplus have direct drive. In my opinion you can’t go wrong with one all the parts can be bought aftermarket, the pumps can be rebuilt as can the valve block, the kubota engine is used on many generators and can be found with low hrs very reasonably priced. They go on for ever and seem to keep there value.
  10. What are you charging for your tracked mini loader with bucket / grapple / forks I have done my sums on my machine and come to £70.00 per day plus fuel at cost and transport , I think this is about right the machine replaces at least one labourer and speeds up the job. However just got a call from client saying he thinks it is steep as he can get a 1.5 tonne digger for £200 a week. I have told him they are not the same machine and do different job . I’m not in a position to tell him to shove it anyone care to share there rates for the machine
  11. Find a sawmill they will pay you to take them away!
  12. You don’t have to tell me I employ five
  13. I was trying to make it easy
  14. I put a hornbeam hedge in laid the 120/150 bare root at 30 degrees bushed up top to bottom in three years, laid irrigation pipe in bottom and mulched with well rotted manure
  15. Martin even better just send it to spud he’s not far
  16. dumper

    Hooks

    Can someone tell me what these hooks are called and where I might be able to buy them
  17. Felled some large turkey oaks a while back split and cracked on hitting the ground I’d wait till it’s down then see what it’s like
  18. A duck with a tow hitch
  19. The answer to your statement that he is paying his tax is that you are not paying your share employers national insurance pension etc
  20. There mistake send it back get what you ordered, shouldn’t cost you
  21. If you have 6 ft of access you can get everything out in 5 ft lumps with a mini loader,might need to make a road so I reckon 4 k or less
  22. Did someone say conservation area = no chance tpo on application
  23. You might well have to fabricate a roll bar a ball ache with the testing required, restored as a timber tractor it would look grand. Are you intending to sell ?
  24. No in just thinking about it you have proved that you are a philistine, you must furnish me with your address and post code so I may come and save the poor tractor, give it tender loving care and keep it safe
