  1. Exactly what I thought! Recently serviced my old teleporter and gave it a good going through. Did the back axle 13 or 18 litres it was. Sod of a position too.... Gluten for punishment as I am... I dispensed from my bigger barrels into a 1ltr tub which has a long nozzle built into the lid.... I squeezed all them litres in by hand! Took a while 😮
  2. Saw this a while back. Anchored I nto something behind... gone up and stropped in. Silly cut. You can see stem and lad fall after cut, weight goes in his rope and pulls him back a bit before his anchor point snapped and down he goes. Very poorly thought through. Surely the gimps behind the camera on the phone could have forseen this. No support on the hung up stem. And plenty of lads on the ground just watching. No thought of where the hell is the top going after severing.... Piss poor all round
  3. Your missing a thin tube with the square drive shaft that goes in there. Put in from the bearing end....
  4. Lot of water in that small drum then 😮 Imagine the amount in a 25ltr tub then dumped into a machine!
  5. You can't really take chances with kretz... this was only a small area of kretz on surface. Look at the amount of wood affected
  6. It's the elephant in the room. Can't trust no one nowadays.... Might be worth run the tank low and get a little camera in there for a look maybe?
  7. Might aswell fuel lines too as only cheap and we don't know age of machine
  8. Just wondering if anyone knew of a farmi 260 pto chipper for sale at all?
  9. I had this crap floating around in the tank of a machine I bought back end of last year... that gave me some issues!
  10. Is there no low drain on it anywhere? Water catchment bowl etc... diesel will sit on top of water.... If you can try crack a drain and see if diesel or water comes out first...
  11. Won't be a fortune new from l&s engineers I wouldn't have thought
  12. Funny subject log splitters. Once they were cheap and now the cheap are now 1k to buy.... I bought a ktm 10t years ago. 450 quid. Got the wider base plate.... not the best made but works. Been welded and braced etc. Fast ram on it just wish for auto return but recently thought about changing the valve block to do that. Not long ago I welded it to a 6' x28" work bench so it can be loaded up. Recently put it on a smaller tractor but they have good lpm. Shittest video ever (was only a quick one to send to a friend to show it working) Most of the splitters now only seem to split smaller height logs.... the ktm can do 18" high logs no issues works well for me. I always thought when it's buggered I throw it in scrap and get a new .. they're 850-900 now 😆 🤣 20250107_121214.mp4
  13. I've this year bought a 1928 road tow as we have the tracked version. The top bar on hopper is awesome very rarely trip it! Great setup. My comment purely just for the top bar in this situation. Also as your going gm, the disc blades from rotatech are peanuts!
  14. Sure joe westrup one FB made an old 125 entec into a tracked machine before, mounting on a tracked barrow One of the old entec 125 with twin rollers fit the bill for you I would think
