Paging @Justme
-
As above. Mature oak, client wishes to protect it (and it also has TPO). However, he also wants a large concrete base in fairly close proxmity... Is there anyone with the relevant letters after their name who would like me to put their number forward to visit the site and provide a specification for works? I'm just a groundworker. Job is in Cranleigh.
-
That’s about the sum of it here.
-
I wish they’d do that round here
-
For me I didn’t need the extra flow rate of diesel and certainly didn’t want the extra width. Will be interested in how the stump grinder performs.

Only had an hour on it but liked it. Design dated admittedly but steel where it counts and easier to drive/handled the weight better than a cast for me. Both looked very well built machines. Much less twitchy on the levers too with a full load, and a slightly higher tipping load. Both had parallel lift. I tried the yellow ‘small’ version rather than the red ‘Agri’. For an extra grand you get electric start and bigger pump and wheel motors. It really did push, even on skinny tyres into a pile of crushed concrete.

Only had a couple of hours play on demo machines but it's amazing how much easier everything is when you turn the revs down. Still got to be easier than handballing everything.

Hopefully I’ve bought the machinery young enough then 😬

With you all the way mate and I have more kit than most! But so far I've drawn the line at a tree shear on such a small carrier. However, I'm happy to be proven wrong. Up until August I drew the line at a loader, now I have a second on the way!
-
Those opicos looks great, just a bit too wide for me. Really tempted by a secondhand one but decided to spend double on a new Sherpa and know that I can get it in more back gardens.
-
Yup, and the use of polystyrene forms for raft foundations etc is another issue! Demolition of these structures will cost a fortune as it’ll all have to be treated as ‘contaminated’
-
Why collect it in a field? We just used petrol blowers.
-
Honestly though, how hard is it to cut anything that you can reach with an avant or mini digger with a chainsaw or pole saw? You’d need a lot of repetitive work to make it pay imho.
-
You could line that 220l food grade barrel with a wheely bin liner (or two) also. Takes care of most of the mess.
-
It’s there in black and white mate. Category f is licence to drive *agricultural* tractors. Anything other than a narrow list of agricultural exemptions needs an o license.
-
Either get a firm in who specialise in it or mount that cyclone jobby onto a 220l ‘food spec’ barrel with removable lid. That’s a lot of beads!
-
You can get cyclone attachments on eBay. Mount one of those on a 20l pail with lid and run it off your domestic vacuum Cyclone Filter Dust Collector Woodworking For Vacuums Dust Extractor Separatorღ WWW.EBAY.CO.UK 1 x Industrial Extractor Dust Collector Set. Detail Image. Color: black. Suitable for CNC machining, wood... I run one for collecting concrete dust when doing small floor planing jobs. Or if you can hire (or have use for) an industrial sized vacuum, that’s another option. I use a 3x1500w jobby, you can use it for wet or dry, you’d be fine running it on just the filter to suck those beads out, no need for bags. Something like this 80L Vacuum Cleaner Wet and Dry Industrial CARWASH KIT 6pc Free Kit Power 3000W WWW.EBAY.CO.UK click to see more.

Or indeed the scum themselves who abuse the kids?

A tractor is only a tractor when used for agricultural applications!!
-
When are we finally going to have a test case and a line in the sand? People round here rip the piss with fasttracs hauling thirteen tonners.
-
You can with the cast loader as the headstock is the same. However all that would really work would be something like the leveller, as anything else would be most of your payload gone in just the bucket! I had the cast on demo and it worked well with the multione leveller. this is for narrow access, so starting with a 76cm grapple bucket. Will probably manufacture a larger bucket for when it’s on the wider wheels. Coming with grass tyres and a set of narrow tyres. Gonna make my own backplate to fit the multione pallet forks as the 600 long forks these mini loaders come with are only really fit for busting out the middle of a pallet!

Just reviving this thread as I'm about to pull the trigger on a Sherpa 100.
-
Why, how do GreenMech fare on TrustPilot? 🤣
-
Bloody hell- yes, I think I'd avoid.

Biggest downside looks to be the high infeed over the handlebars.
