No, Dalbeatie its self, but also a really lovely & helpful guy.

Just wanted to thank everyone who helped on this. It's all fixed now & I know these threads often show up when people google things in the future so I'm leaving a problem solved explanation in case it should help anyone. The Auto Control some mentioned, we've never used it, only ever used the basic up & down lift arms buttons. Having the lift arms in the up position so long as to keep them out the way of the forwarding trailer had caused the solenoids to get sticky & weren't operating. On top of that there was no power getting to the buttons in the cab to make them work. Having made this diagnosis, I was fortunate that the wonderful John from Jas P Wilson was a little over an hour away & able to drop down last thing on a rainy Friday. He removed the stuck solenoid under the cab, repaired it & then he & my husband removed the panels inside & found that the whole auto control system had previously been bypassed which make sense as to why we never had any lights on it & none of it seemed to do anything, & the buttons we had been using had been tapped into the cig lighter & it was that fuse that had blown along with a loose wire. Pretty simple really & just proves why I only run old gear. Thanks to John & my husband it was all repaired & working in less than 2 hours & the only "new" part fitted was a fuse! I hope that helps someone of the future. Cheers, Nat.

I have checked some but with this info from you I may have a better idea of what I'm looking for. I'll go search for one that has something to do with that. Thank you very much.

I have fiddled with all the knobs and tried the arms with the knobs in different positions but still nothing, defo not seen an orange light though, never have.

No mine doesn't have the rear fender type switches, just the in the cab ones.

No I don't think I have, I have never noticed an orange light before but I can't see one now. I can't get the arms up or down & normally when you push the button you can hear the pump or the engine sort of change you know, you just know it's working, but not now. & the release lever in the rear of the floor isn't doing anything. How did you fix yours, please tell me it's a fuse!

Hello all, haven't been on here in ages. Took my forwarding trailer off my 6600 this eve to put the pto winch on, weirdly, the lift arms won't go up or down. Everything else seems fine, any ideas? Sure I've knocked a switch, or something simple as it was fine last time I had the winch on. Rendered my whole operation useless! Any ideas much appreciated Cheers, Nat.

Yes I would be thanks mate.

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, I did look & figures this was the best one. If I’ve broken any rules I apologise sincerely ?? I’m in need of a reasonable sized retort if anyone should be thinking about selling one. Please drop me a line here & I’ll get in touch. Very best wishes, Natta. ???

Same here, emailed recently asking for current prices etc on a felling head and never heard back. Disappointing after great service there in the past. Hope everything’s ok with them.

Just to say this position is now open again as the last person didn't work out. Feel free to drop me a line if anyone here is still interested & thank you to all those who got in contact before. Good to know there's such interest & nice to hear from so many enthusiastic people. Have a mint day everyone, stay safe & keep grinning! :))?

From each kiln I'd expect about 1.5m3 of BBQ charcoal, & around .5m3 of fines to grade down for their different outlets too.

All kilns emptied, graded & bagged. Been working on making a few new products from my charcoal recently. Have soap, eye liner & toothpaste, & now that I've emptied the kilns I need at least two of them followed by beer, though off for a surf first!?‍♀️?

I got rid of my smart phone last month, never been happier. ?
