Bloody hell fire! That last pic

That was my morning view for 2 weeks. Got back late Monday evening 😴 then rain and sunshine this week. No 34 degrees anymore

Yup the yank way

All the yanks use big wooden sleepers and place in front of themselves. Not sure what uk folk do

The 150 ran fine but stank. I hadn't fueled it up. Was up the tree using it and thought bloody hell this stinks. Waiting for saw to set alight thinking foul object burning. Did the tree, whipped covers off and checked and ran it and no chain oil where it shouldn't be etc. Opened fuel cap and looked like canal water 😅 Not sure who it was but fuel ditched and refilled and onto next tree 😀

You think ok or keep to 8 and 10 stud axles? Bigger brakes and all. Buggered if you want to shift a 20' container with that trailer above

Just wondering if anyone has run one of these 12t midi low loaders? This particular one has a 9t payload. I wanted something for a 5-8t digger. Only not necessary downfall I've seen is people say 6 stud axle brakes are shite.... I've always done ok but I don't tow massive loads 12t plus etc and my 6 stud trailers have done fine. One big down side I bet will be re sale value. Not many folk will be after one NEW TYRONE TRAILERS 12T Midi Low Loader Trailer WWW.EBAY.CO.UK NEW 12T MIDI LOW LOADER. Dump Trailers, Low Loader Trailers, Fuel Bowsers, Bale Trailers all available... Any info is great. Thanks

I've had this before and it's just hassle. Had time send back to an online supplier then they sent them off and was a 6-7 week turn around. Pita Always have a back up pair and when they're knackered get shut. Buy a new pair every year in Aug Sept before the bad weather so dry toes for winter 😀

I bet you've got L and R lettered socks too then 😆

Nah. Not to my knowledge. I use same funnel for filling chippers as I do stihl combi cans. Always a small bit of diesel sits in the funnel and goes in the combi can. No issues in 15 years.... A bit of chain oil in the fuel tank of a 150t climbing saw will make the bugger smoke though and smell bad! Been done by many a groundsman. Still no issues once fuel dumped and filled back up

Either all boots are shit now or all tree surgeons are shit kickers and can't pick up their feet when they walk? Lol 😆 Just waiting for my airstream to die before winter then have the what boots dilemma myself yay 🙃

Worse case can you not dry and clean area up and epoxy resin the bugger up on the threads and then all over the bung after. Tank out and power wash job, dry clean. Bung and what ever out and then sort it that way? Leave some diesel in tank over weekend when done to see if it weeps and or has sorted it? Good maintenance anyhow cleaning out the tank

I may try one of them drill pumps to get fuel back out of tractor when not in use so can't be pinched 👍

Good machines they are Mick. I have one. Does all I need

I like it Ash, looks spot on. You and your company are the only ones that have ever stood out to me 👍 keep it up

Sod messing around with more general public than we already do. Firewood and or logs pita. All goes to biomass 🙂

Morning all. Been up for a while so not as lazy as you think! Off to the Royal Lancashire agricultural show today 😀 Certainly beats working

I bought a 230 or 240 amp rtec cant remember which it is but next one up from the 180. Lovely welder 👍

Few loads out today back to the yard. In the tractor from 7:10am till 5:15pm 😮 😞

They be spot welded on when manufactured. They might sell you one but I'd look at getting a fabricator to knock you something up instead

Will get one ordered up Bob thanks. Neighbour had a clock/ gauge and I screwed that directly into the block. From cold bang straight up to 45 psi.... more than the one I have fitted ever showed... that only ever got to 30psi and shook like mad. After running mid revs for 15-20 mins was sat at 35psi on idle. Not as hot as when chipping but gave me confidence that engines not kaput just yet. As I said it filled that little bottle pronto! I have a hyd system test kit but didn't go low enough psi! Will get a kit ordered and see if I can feed it behind the panel and refit panel as its an air cool engine. Will take it to yard and flog it for a bit and check pressures

Just wondering if anyone can recommend an external oil pressure gauge they trust or use fitted to their diesel engine. I have an engine on a machine and like to keep an eye on the oil pressure. The gauge has recently been messing about. It's a mechanical gauge and supplied from the sensor hole on the block via a tiny copper line... maybe 2mm internal diameter. It's been reading low recently and I took the pipe off whilst engine warm and on idle, not much oil coming out tbh.... took it off at the block and blew through with an air compressor, I do believe there could have been an obstruction in the line with the way it blew out. Tested the gauge with the airline and needle works fine. Put it back together, ran the machine which went up to 20psi (engine warm) then at idle was still suffering! Took the pipe off at the block again and put a little bottle in front. Started the engine up and it near enough filled the bottle in 3-4 seconds! I'm hoping that there is just an issue with this crappy little copper pipe and gauge! Anyone recommend an oil pressure gauge I can replace with? Don't mind if either electrical or mechanical as long as they work. Oil filter ordered up aswell to change engine oil. Cheers all 👍

Yeah farmers scraper tractor 😆 🤣 😮

Yeah I'm safety conscious. I welded on a 4-5" piece of tube the leg sits into then props the lid open. Also welded another tube upright near this that when not in use the leg sits in so you don't have to reach far to get this leg. Bugger getting cut in half by that lid 😆
