Made a pretty decent job of that site in just three hours. Lack of lift height and reach are the killers on a micro, especially loading the fire. It’s also awkward to activate the aux pedal- my knee was hurting by the end. Modification needed. In its defence, it’s all that would fit through the gate, it did it a lot faster than I thought, and it handled carrying the bramble bundles in high speed without struggling at all! Most of all, it made money, £470 for half a day. Just as well as it’s the first time it’s been out the shed for two months.

At 85l/m for a 9.5, id say they excel at flow rate also ?? Sounds like you need a bigger ram to take advantage of this flow rate. essentially it looks like the log splitter is underspecced for the carrier.
-
I’m really surprised at that. MultiOne machines have pretty good flow. If it’s running out of oomph it’s most likely pressure rather than flow. What’s the machine relief valve set at? This is of course assuming that the actual ram is a decent size.

All I could fit through the garden and into the wood area behind! Better than nowt.

Very interested in stump grinder. I love my e10, just loaded it into the tipper with the grapple on ready for a day of bramble pulling tomorrow, will try to remember to take pics. I highly recommend a ripper tooth for them.

He said it was an arb company. What arb company last year would have been supplying hand sanitiser or disenfectant wipes?

Name and shame mate.

My accountant has them by April usually but I still have to chase the bugger!
-
Because January is the deadline and how many times do you read of the HMRC system crashing in January cause everyone waits till the last minute? ?

I have a 6 ton vertical jobby here, capacitor box all burnt out. I've the live and neutral from the plug going to a switch, and a live and neutral coming from the switch. From the motor, I have a pair of live and a pair of neutral. How they join a two wire capacitor is a burnt out mystery.... Do I just join red switch wire to one red motor wire (and black to black) and then piggy back the new capacitor onto the 'spare' red and black wires from the motor? This makes sense to me but I'm much better with a welder than electrics.

It leaked diesel out the top when you primed it but still built pressure. A very odd one. No warning, it just wouldn't start for ten seconds after a quick stop and the drove a few hundred metres, stopped, started eventually then a few more hundred metres, stopped and had to be towed. Each time it died it flashed the glow plug light which it's never done before, but nothing saved in the code memory.

Just had this last week on an LDV with 2.4 Duratorq- was air getting into the fuel line via the filter housing. I had no fault codes either, which was bloody annoying and defeats the object of an EML!

You owe it to yourself to get a rotating grab Matt, the amount of fairly precise stone handling you do!

Jacket spud with lots of butter and marmite is beautiful.

Which generator to run a sawmill - NEW or USED ?
doobin replied to arboriculturist's topic in Milling Forum
Hell yes, if there’s a transformer 150m away it’s a no brainer. Save all this messing around, save diesel and you’re future proofed for things like a mill. -
Yes, but both are useless in this game without spending a pretty penny on attachments. You can’t just rent a digger with tiltrotator, timber grab, post knocker and ripper either. I've just spent half an hour tracking to the burn site and back a few times with bundles of brash. Loader would have been much quicker (but wouldn’t have gathered it up from the other side of the ditch.) Now I’m using a tilt grader to smear damp clay into a batter. Loader would be useless. I can’t win either way, but digger wins on overall versatility for me. If Kev had been using a grab rather than chasing it around I’d have kept my mouth shut ?
-
Meh, I almost bought an Avant rather than a digger for a first machine. I guess you get used to what you have. If you watched me rake a site for seed with my 2.8 tonner you’d probably say it’s rubbish for that compared to a multione, and to be fair it might be. I just saw that job above as much more of a digger job, but to be fair the profit is what counts.
-
Sorry mate but watching you chase those little plants around with that was painful... give me a 360 and grab any day of the week. Just being honest, I can see the usefulness on larger areas though.
-
Yes but have you checked the flux capacitor?
-
Come on man, he'd have been given the blood of aborted fetuses if that was a cure!
-
Hihgly doubt it. The weight is held by a comparatively tiny ram, and the kinetic energy as such will give it precedence over the secondary flow. Both mine work absoloutely fine double acting. Dead ending is only really a problem with a relief valve that's not working right. You could also tweak your aux relief valve to kick in a touch earlier if this won't affect any other implements you run.
-
I never have the revs flat out so it doesn't worry me. If you were bothered by it then the simplest work-around would probably be to connect a line to the second aux and take it with a one way valve in the line tee'd to the knocker hose. As you pressurise the knocker the one way valve stops it taking the easier route through that serviced. But when you return to tank then the other aux hose can dump straight into the first as per normal.
-
I never bother setting either of my machines to single acting when using the knocker, and both work fine. It's a tiny ram.

Regular mowing will work fine. Look at roadside verges- full of bracken but no bracken in the 1m strip mowed by the council! -
What use is 3.3kva when it's a 10kva generator? Might as well buy a cheap little generator if that's all you need.
