swinny

Yeah trailer situation is still a major head ache.... I've been looking to get a ifor gh1054 but like you say next year and prices keep going up. I priced a new gh1054 up and it was 3900 plus vat.... sure they were only 2500ish 3-4 years ago. Good luck in the search

Using my new to me muscle on site this morning

What group Hodge?

Not a bloody clue.... what ever they send out to me

Yes svtech is the firm to use. I've spoken to them and am having my ford ranger up plated to tow 3.5t and carry more capacity ... This done via a set of air bags for the rear suspension which I have to fit. They will do the plate and sort out with dvla etc I suspect ... About 850-870 plus vat to do. They do need to know far ends of a fart though with vehicle spec, length, wheelbase, unladen weight etc..... last one before I send form off Is the rear diff ratio 😮 I've been finishing this form for a few weeks now lol 😆

Now that looks good. Yes ideally a hot spanner for most of my stuff but the plasma is versatile. Think on a previous thread we had established I had a 16amp supply cable. So would ideally need to go bigger to be satisfied then by the sounds of it. Won't be used loads but it's there for when necessary

I'm not planning on doing art work with it just cut stuff off. Short runs etc... won't the compressor keep up? Main thing is... what about rusty stuff and then painted stuff? Will it get through?

Got a 50ltr compressor here so plenty

I've grown very tired of cutting with a 4.5" grinder all the discs dust and crap from them. I only ever need to cut up to 10-12mm max..... Can they do rusty metal or bolts? What about painted metal and? Can they cut off digger brackets at 12mm thick etc? Been thinking of this one for a while : R-Tech P30C Plasma Cutter 240V 30A | Lightweight & Portable WWW.R-TECHWELDING.CO.UK Plasma Cutter R-Tech P31C Only got a domestic power supply.... on a 13 amp plug nut sure the socket is a 16 amp one. Had a digger bracket made up recently and couldn't get the bolts down the recess so had to mess about with grinder and die grinder = ball ache! Would have been a piece of pee with a plasma cutter!

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

Lovely case mx 😀

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!

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.....

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

Whip it out

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?

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

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

Bubble bubbles bubbles and out of the tank a bit at one point

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!

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

I bought a cold electric pressure washer from aldi and its been great. I'd love a hot pressure washer!

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

Think 9x17"

I have 73hp in one of my chippers and still need the no stress lol
