I second that we have got a new grafter 150 it uses £20 of ad blue every 4 months, pulls like a train bumpy as hell, a few minor issues but nothing major.
-
I've got a leaky fuel line on jcb, its a pita to change so need to bodge ut until I can swap it. Would denso be enough to stop the leak? Any suggestions? Its only a tiny leak.
-
In 1 it is full of beech which doesn't look so bad but the other does have a lot of syccy in which looks a bit grim.
-
That's what I wish we had done, I recon the center will be a bit mouldy.
-
Make sure you triple clip the sides & also tension at least 3 bits of rope around them, we have tried it first time this year and its pushing the side way out! if it wasnt for the rope they would of gone pop

Oh Very posh

I can get ibc cages £8 a piece but with inner in £35 so its a bit of an expensive option.

Council price list... http://www.wakefield.gov.uk/Documents/roads-parking/highway-maintenance/recycled-aggregate-products-prices.pdf

Probably gonna end up buying a load in from council as i need to get base down asap.
-
With stacking ibc's 2 high obv the tops will be flat so there won't be no where for water to go. Could do with divising a way of sloping the top before the sheet goes on. Think I will buy a sheet, seems cheap enough.
-
Have you used this? looks good but how would it cope with rain pooling on the top? i guess it would have to be sloped to allow the water to run off.
-
Yep tried both of the above! it can get really windy where they are stored, i have tried to find old curtains of a wagon body as i think when they are tied down they wont flap around as much, cant find any for love nor money!
-
I have got 4 large open sided sheds that we have built from telegraph poles and steel roof sheets to keep logs dry which work fine, i desperately need more undercover storage but as i am looking to buy my own piece of land am reluctant to make more permanent buildings. We split into ibc's stack them 2 high and line them up, ive tried covering them with various tarpaulin sheets from cheap ones to dear ones, roof sheets strapped down, concrete blocks on top! you name it we have tried it! every time the wind blows bits of it off does anyone have a better way of covering them

I am offering a free tip for anyone wanting to dispose of hardcore, brick rubble flags etc. No huge lumps of concrete! Location is Rothwell Leeds. Give Simon a call on 07977114605

Moving muck along side the Kramer in preparation for hardcore going down.
-
Being there buddy, because axles on trailer are too close it wont give an accurate weight. Machine is going on wagon now so no chance of overloading
-
Our little Vermeer has being fantastic so far, not only moving timber but as we do a fair bit of fencing we have used it for leveling ground off before we fence over it. managed to get skidsteer & Bandit 2250 on the trailer at the same time, i couldn't do that with anything bigger, you buy the machine what you want depending on your needs.

Bearing looks a big knackered, I assume the metal ring sits inside and stops the shaft sliding down?
-
So this is the shaft that joins onto the lower shaft that connects to power unit. It has 1 circlip on. If I rotate is a quarter of a turn it doesn't slide back down, obviously as it starts spinning it slides back.
-
Jeepers! Talk about over complicating things. Well done Stihl!
-
The shaft that is on the cutter head end has 1 circlip attached and like a ring roughly 1" across and about as wide. Does the white plastic cap on the outer poles slide out to allow access to the whole assembly inside?
-
the shaft that goes into the cutting head keeps sliding out and down the pole, i have stripped it down but cannot see what is in place to stop this from happening.
-
I looked into 1 before I got grafter but there was lots of negative feed back with piss poor dealer support and issues of rot & rust.
-
I bought a 990 implematic off a friend with the intention of using it to split wood, even with new hydraulic pump it was under powered and slow, id never take it to site as its too numb to be effective top speed in only 15mph max so useless. In reality it sits in the shed and powers a pto saw bench a few times a year and occasionally drags a small tipper around the yard.

Never learn by getting someone else to do it
