  1. What's the eco teeth you talk of? I'm currently running a p26 grinder so the diesel equivalent of yours. I know you could get a green wheel for a conversion or even a rhino wheel. But the rhino teeth fit the original predator wheel any how. I'm sure new river would do a disc for the predator

    Up for sale is my Volvo EC18D mini digger. Machine is 1.8t with expanding track base. Low hours of just 1060 Very good tracks and twin speed tracking. All lights work and beacon etc. Digger has a cab heater which works. Overall good condition please look at the pictures. Comes with 3 Buckets 36" grading (which i had a new edge put on) 24" digging and an 18" digging which looks like hasn't really been used. The last 2 buckets are good quality strickland buckets. Fitted with a Martin manual quick hitch for easy changing of buckets. Very good reach for digging etc with this machine. I bought the digger November ish of last year from Bob Wild machinery as an upgrade for an older cabless 1.5t volvo. Since I purchased the machine I have done little hours with it as now my workload warrants a bigger machine. Here is a video link of the digger from when I bought it to give you an idea : https://youtu.be/Pf7WLX_V1jI Genuine machine and a genuine seller. Machine will only be released on cleared funds. Payment via bank transfer only. Digger has to be sold with VAT so please do not ask. Machine located Barnoldswick, Lancashire

  4. Talking about stump grinder teeth... how do you find the multi tip? It's years since I used them and recently gone back to them.... bit under whelmed with them this time... soon as they loose their edge pointless..... do you take a battery grinder and disc for a quick tickle on site? I was on a site the other day and grinding stumps.... hit some concrete and other stuff and mullered some teeth. I sat back and thought... that's 28 quid down the swanny... imagine knackering another two again and more..... it would soon starts to add up on a job!
  5. There is no where in any writing that says you have to use a form for a 211 notice..... its just some councils want their arsed whiped . I basically put what tree and works, address, client and contact number and send it in via email. For some councils I do send in a form which they wrongly request.... but don't argue with plonkers and all.....
  6. Yes its been creeping a bit tbh... having to put back central then put into 2ws to re aline the fronts then flick back to 4ws and away again. the crab side of things doesnt work and not to othered as only want 4ws
  7. It's got pto pump on so should be responsive..... there should be a sight glass on the side to check for oil level.... one other thing would be nice to check oil in that pto box too.... if silvery it could be on the way out the gearbox. Check oil in the hyd tank if possible for the crane and make sure not milky and contaminated with water.... Check stabilisers legs or welding or cracking. See if you can wiggle crane to check for play. Even go round with a grease gun make sure it all takes grease. I went through the dilemma of a timber trailer a few years back.... unbaked were 4-6500 then braked were 8k plus Also tidy them long dangling hoses up. Has it a swivel pin hitch?
  8. If it's not braked I wouldn't bother personally Scott..... I would hope its only 5.5-6.5k max and braked. Shame it's not on 400 wide tyres but will be ok on them. Noticed all the wheel bearing covers are off so could have gritty shitty bearings now. Possibly a 5050 crane? Can't remember the numbers of the older ones. Jasp wilsons would be able to tell you more
  9. Well this is a first for me.... wondered why it sounded loud.... then started smoking as it melted the under side of the Saw lol 😆 Finished job off with a mates house 540xp which was a really nice saw to use. Not had this issue on any of my other 201t's.... Good job I've a few spare saws
  10. Bubble bubbles bubbles and out of the tank a bit at one point
  11. That would be in the tank then? Drop and change oil and clean the suction filter? Presumabily a mesh one? Cheers. It's been belting up until this!
  12. I have a jcb teleporter 527-58 and have had an issue for a while..... but need to get it sorted now. It's started putting air into the system somewhere and is frothing / airiating my oil. Even only short term using it it starts to put air in the oil. I have checked the breather that's fine. Pulled drain bung st bottom of tank to check for water contamination etc, that's fine. I do have a few leaks here and there but nothing major, the steering rams are wet etc. When I bought it, it was fine and no issues just the few leaks. I noticed the hyd oil was low so had to put 10ltr in. Not over filled, well within the site glass to allow for expansion when warming. I'm starting to think it's due to the steering system. Steering feels a bit crap left to right and that's when the air comes in. Ad said the rams are a bit moist 😉 I'm starting to think it's a steering orbital valve, but if it was, wouldn't the steering just be crap and it passing internally on the seals? And not leak in air? I've not really done much in faulty hydraulics! Any help or ideas please? Hope it's not a case of keep replacing things till its fixed
  13. I bought a cold electric pressure washer from aldi and its been great. I'd love a hot pressure washer!
  14. High hedge act is 6'6". I'd tell your neighbour to fcuk off and not to touch the hedge. Also your involving a solicitor due to intentions. Least if you get a letter sent to them it may deter or if in the event they proceeded you have a paper trail of telling them no. Criminal damage after all and trespass. Depends how petty you want to get. It's not really fair these situations as usually the good folk get shit on and the arseholes get away with murder and no repercussion. I'm sure if you did something back youd be more in trouble then them.... Good luck
  15. I have 73hp in one of my chippers and still need the no stress lol
  16. Yes only for decanting into other things..... big hole at the top to pour into from a 25ltr drum.... then pour Into machine or engine
  17. Yup. I use these.... 1 for red diesel for machines, 1 for chain oil and 1 for engine oil..... bloody good but flexy spouts snap eventually. Still very good 👍
  18. Hebden Bridge? Going there in the morning though not my up of tea
  19. Lovely up there. Was working there a couple more month ago and back again for a day this month
  20. I'll be off to chipping steam fair for a browse round allsorts in May. Great place. Engines, tractors, diggers graders, allsorts. 😀
  21. If I ever give to car boots I always go with a wedge of cash.... don't go much anymore but a recent visit to a couple and there's never owt interesting anymore just tat 😞
  22. Yup.... I only needed a big spanner once and that was a good few months back..... borrowed one for that job then bought a set!
