A new sling is £3.25 so I would imagine it could be cheaper especially if any fail as you will be buying new anyway.
-
I think some of the manitou telehandlers have reversing fans. The other problem I have found is if people pressure wash from the wrong side it pushes the dirt further in to the matrix push it back out the way it came in and not to much pressure.

How much roughly do you charge to check an endless 1 tonne 1 metre sling for lifting

Last year our local commercial tip was taking wood waste for £10 a tonne this year £180. Last year we could not get joinery off cuts to make kindling. This year yard is full. I think wood chip was the new gold while the grants were around but now the bubble has burst. Can you not compost it and sell it to the public.
-
That £500 inc all the posts as well and its all galvanised. I looked for a used set for about 6 months and gave up and just bought a new trailer.

If it has a simple fuel solinoid it could be that. When the bobcat one failed it was on full chat and nearly threw me out the cab.

Anything from an auction needs a good drop of looking at. If I selected 10 sets carefully at auction I would expect at least 2 to be stuffed and put them back through. I noticed cheffins are doing an auction for Winchester marine who have a depot in Lancs. Not sure if any of it is worth buying but grill them for info and make sure the stuff has been checked and run. I suspect the reserves could be a bit high but you never know. Avoid anything that is mod spec as the panels are a complete nightmare unless you budget to strip out and start from scratch.

Could be electrical. Could be out of fuel. Could have fuel line rubbed through on chassis. Faulty immobilizer / key . Not sure if its as simple as solinoid at that age could be more complex.
-
No I think it was a rolls c6 you are in with more of a chance with the rolls. The Dormans are not very sought after and difficult to move on even abroad.

When my honda petrol claps out I was going to fit a used 2 cyl watercooled Yanmar or similar running around 2000 rpm. Plenty of torque and economical. Its a shame the chinese stuff goes off like this a bit more quality control and they could make a decent machine.

If you like lidl you will love Aldi even more

When I first see an avant I thought it looked ok but expensive. Then I was on a job near winchester and see it bring great big butts of pop across a very boggy field then up a muddy 1 in 3 slope with out any problems or slipping, the butts must have been a good 700kg each. May be worth seeing if you had the biggest one they do last time and were the tyres top notch.

I guess the celotex is the answer so it does not become a heat sink. Possibly the way to go for that application. My workshop tends to be unused for weeks with the odd running in and out. To try and heat that sort of mass would take time.
-
I have never been warm stood on a concrete floor unless it was heated. I would be looking into a false insulated floor above the concrete but I am no expert I imagine you have done your research.

I dont know much about the posch. But we have run a kindlet since 2009 and put about 70,000 bags through it. Nothing has worn out or broken and feels like the sort of the machine that gets handed down to the grand children rather than a cheap processor which is a 10 year consumable. The thing that sold the kindlet to me was the open grilled lid you can see trouble brewing and get in there quick and flick it out before it creates handfulls of mess. This means you have half a chance with slightly knotty wood. We tend to flick out any thing with a knot over 1/2" as it looks cack in the net. Our market in this part of the world is neater the better no market for random stuffed scruffy bags in the London commuter belt you know

Tools- T25 extra long bit for 1/4 impact driver
gensetsteve replied to mikerecike's topic in Maintenance help
Yes I have snap on tools and I charge shed loads. My favorite makes snap on, Bahco, knipex, vice grip you can keep the rest. -
I have an 038 and an 039 the 038 never comes out. The 039 feels better and even that is 14 years old.
-
Boulters of tadley built mine. They do more 38 tonne type stuff. Very well made just watch the weight does not cut into payload.
-
I think you have it spot on. I seem to meet alot of people who owe 6k to the tax man and think buying processor for 6k will get rid of the tax bill. I think commercial vehicles could be on the same deal but not cars.
-
If you explain to your accountant you do your own book keeping you should be able to negotiate a lower rate. Most accountants charge for their time if your books are a mess it will take longer.
-
You still have to pay for 75% of it or 60% if your doing really well
-
It says 160-200mm I am not sure if that means you can adjust it or the chute is 200mm wide. If the chute is 200mm I would imagine 160mm would turn and jam more often. Major has one of these machines so perhaps he would be kind enough to give us the heads up. I have no connection with fuelwood or Posch just need the best machine for the job. Proof is in the pudding as they say maybe I need to get my hands on one.
-
The single phase kindlet is 160mm . I just read on the Posch site it can take 200mm.
-
I am sure they have improved I saw one of the first ones about 5 years ago and you could not get in the top. If you got a knotty bit you had to keep going and that seemed to wreck lots more decent wood. Hopefully I will see the latest one at a show this year. What do you call the right wood.
-
We have a kindlet does the posch make bags like this and can you reject the knots if they get jammed with out wrecking a load more wood.
