Give us your location and someone will be able to help I'm sure.

Old line tree - rotten middle but healthy and edges
doobin replied to SDWR's topic in Tree health care
That'll most likely be fine, and it's not like it'll hit anything if it falls over. If you like the look of it, leave it. If not then remove. Simples. -
Look beautifully made mills. What kind of money are they?

Fk the council. Mums the word.

Works a treat- only problem is that the other side now appears a touch weak in comparison! I will try to adjust the stops on the replaced motor's control lever to compensate as it's still got plenty of power. Hopefully I've caught it in time with a full fluid and filter change. Let this be a free (for you at least) lesson for all those of you who think hydraulic fluid and filter changes don't matter!

Here we go! (Hopefully!)

Doesn't look like yew to me, certainly not bog yew. If pressure washing damages it then its feck all use for a table anyhow. I'd chuck it away personally. Not worth spending any time on.

I can highly recommend Fleet and Commercial for anyone looking for a fleet policy.

Hardly ever because I only cut wood, with my saw, not dirt and rocks. if you need to sharpen every half hour you’re doing something very wrong, let alone every half tank!

No reason it shouldn’t work if you can get the right size auger fittings or an adaptor. just be aware that if the power unit is direct mounted rather than free swinging you could side load it with a long auger into earth and reduce bearing life etc.

I don’t know what you’re trying the achieve with these posts. Do you like what you do, can you live on the going rate? Then good. If not, do something else. how do you plan to reduce overheads? You’re a subby climber not a bona fide firm with a yard, staff and machinery.

Old boy on the farm told me to dose my ringworm with Monceren- a fungicide we used when planting spuds. Being young, dumb and itching like fk I did- luckily it didn’t kill me and it worked a treat.

this is the main difference between a Sherpa/cast and a kanga. A kanga won’t clear a tipper transit, let alone this gate. got my 15 year old Friday boy on the Multione and tipper today. I’m staying in the dry in the shed. He’s loving it

It’s a commercial horsey farm place (stud farm? What’s the word). Anyhow they are nice people, only a young couple making a go of things and freely admit it’s got out of hand this year- so hard to find labour and they’ve just had their second kid. To be fair the horses are all clean, they haven’t skimped on straw and if it was cows people wouldn’t bat an eyelid. back there today, hoping to get it all done and dusted! Can’t believe some of the lumps little Sherpa was lifting. She was made for this kind of thing.

Working her hard today. Fifty of these boxes to clear and boy are they deep.

Makes sense, so is the op pulling the clutch lever when he pulls that lever? Is that an independent clutch? My Antonio Carraro is a pedigree alpine, but you still have to dip the foot clutch to engage the pto. You just put your foot on the brakes.
-
You are dipping the clutch to engage pto aren’t you?? According to that manual the left lever is pto engagement, not speed selection. You have to dip clutch and engage it via the clutch as if you are changing gear.

Why is everyone painting their diggers black, they look bloody horrible.

Or the grease tensioner has a leaky seal and is bleeding pressure.

Same, I remember what a revelation it was to be able to move the muck! 🤣 mine came out last week for the first time in probably two years

Thats the 'high capacity' 760mm wide bucket- same capacity as the normal 118cm one. For use when you have narrow access/skinny tyres, but also useful on jobs with a tight corner to swing around. Here is the normal 118 cm bucket on a tight right angle bend before I bought the 76cm one. You can imagine how much easier loosing some width off the bucket makes it. Of course, with a 76cm bucket and wider width wheelbase, you can't scrap against edges any more. You need both mate 🤣

It's weird isn't it, we seen to live in a little warm bubble. Not a hint when I worke up a few weeks back of the snow that was causing chaos on Harting and Cocking hills!

You don't really notice the extra weight (the E27 is very 'planted' to begin with) but you don't slide around half as much.

Misty start though? I stayed at the inlaws last night over near Southampton, came back to Midhurst via the 272. Was an OK ride till Langrish, the sun was starting to peep through and then I hit a wall of fog which didn't lift till, I was back at the yard. Spoilt the rest of the ride, I couldn't see a thing through the outside of my helmet fogging up and it was cold!
