Yeah rough gits arnt they.... was speaking to Andy not too long ago in fairness about something else. Hope your well Gary 👍
-
Shouldn't take too long but no one will turn up for less than 350 -400 quid I would think.... non viable if so
-
Yeah thought about it but like you say bastards would drill a 800 quid tank to nick 70 quids worth of diesel and not give a toss
-
Bit of wood out of a domestic felling job earlier this week. Don't usually get chance to get it out in 2.5m from a back garden! Not up here anyhow
-
Tossers we're in again last week and drained the tank on tractor and my towable grinder that was on back of it waiting to go to a job... Least they put the cap back on and didn't loose the o ring ey
-
That's the old girl anyhow... dragged and stacked some timber to somewhere I could get tractor to earlier this week
-
Yeah I see about the air etc... all I can see is a few inlets at the bottom with pipes and jubilee clips on etc would be only place to T back into a return if I was going to. I'm more a tractor man than a digger man 😆
-
I think it's double acting.... I only say this as I can open and close my grab and a tree shear.... running a grab rotator on it with a diverter valve at the moment
-
Cool 😎 cheers Ruben. It's a jb equipment flail. Says no need for a case drain.... though worst case scenario I was going to put a tap in the return line to run back to tank.... then came unstuck as couldn't see any easy places to put a return in ffs 🙄 😆 I'm dying to smash back the side of my lane for a bit of play time 😆 just didn't want to bugger owt up
-
Cheers but nope not sorted it yet 😞 I've looked all over and would seem that maybe mine is piped up for twin and no lever to go back to single... the plot thickens. I know nothing about digger hydraulics so it's overwhelming in there 😆
-
Can anyone help me with locating the lever (I hope) to change the hammer circuit from twin to single for a Kubota Kx61-2? I would presume its like the -3 and sure there are a few people on here with one... I have bought a flail and want to have a go with it but cant find this lever.... I've had some panels up in the floor etc and not sure what I'm looking at / for.... Like I say, hoping for a really obvious lever lol Even a picture would be awesome

This has been my view for many years... I do have to question my sanity at times but it does generally work out
-
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 😮
-
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
-
Your missing a thin tube with the square drive shaft that goes in there. Put in from the bearing end....
-
Lot of water in that small drum then 😮 Imagine the amount in a 25ltr tub then dumped into a machine!
-
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
-
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?
-
Might aswell fuel lines too as only cheap and we don't know age of machine
-
Just wondering if anyone knew of a farmi 260 pto chipper for sale at all?
-
I had this crap floating around in the tank of a machine I bought back end of last year... that gave me some issues!
-
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...

Won't be a fortune new from l&s engineers I wouldn't have thought

Most productive pto log splitter under 4k
swinny replied to pembswoodrecycling's topic in Firewood forum
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
