Will rot before it seasons, burns cold and leaves a shitload of ash. Don’t waste your time.

That's modern by Arb standards. I'd give it a go.

Still burning here. It's been cold of late (coldest April for fifty years or so I heard?) and it's just nice to have it on anyhow.

Good chance that a large modern tractor (1000 PTO only) will have plenty enough hydraulic flow. WIll only cost you half an hour and a pair of hydraulic fittings to find out.

Chinese carb all the way. Got them on lots of different engines, from a ts410 to gx390s. Much quicker to swap it out than mess around fitting expensive rebuild kits that may or may not solve the problem imho.

I use mine at least every other week. If it's for ripping rock then get a normal one with a replaceble CAT type tip and the right geometry- the curve is important. Not sure on the RSL one- looks a little long and not enough of a curve to me. You won't look back. I just finished 1000m of trenching through shaley rock and only needed the ripper for 20 ish metres, and that was on a 2.8t machine. You might well be OK with a 12" bucket with fresh teeth. Once you're into the shale it tends to break out fairly easily. Never hurts to have the ripper as backup though....

You could be right, I’ll check the adaptors.

Nope, jic. I measured it all up. Bobcat are just rebranded doosan, they are European built.

My bobcat e19 was the same. On both sets of aux. Very annoying, I ended up putting four adaptors on, wasn’t sure that they’d mate correctly as it was a bulkhead type fitting without the cone! Luckily it worked and we are now bsp and down to dn06 rather than the ridiculous dn08 size couplers that come as standard. Im pretty sure the threads aren’t quite the same. A couple of turns and then no go on the sizes I had, other sizes may vary.

14 or 12mm are often Chinese M8 heads. Bloody annoying.

The look like young swan mussels.

To be specific, it won't stop weeds gowing in the substrate above it. White geotextile may allow weeds to grow for a short while in the soil below it, but not with stones etc blocking the light. Genuine Terram is tough, and I'd put more faith in it's abilities to stop things like knotweed from piercing through than I would the generic black landscape fabric.

Arb is horticultural until you get caught...🙄

They are very good, and cheaper than a lot on the market.

There's a big demand for chestnut fencing products currently and short supply. However that is probably more down to a lack of people willing to do the splitting etc than a lack of supply of timber.

Terram 1000 without question for stuff requiring a geotextile. But for garden stuff pretty much anything will do. Avoid woven ones though, they may be tougher but they don’t drain very quickly at all and they fray easily.

Easier money in plastering mate!!!

Yup, that's my monkey. 🤣

Squeezed in a quick day with the E19 doing some garden clearance. Hit it hard last year with the E27, went back this year to do a bit more and get into the nooks and crannies behind sheds etc where I couldn't fit last time. Would I rather have had the E27 on the grab? Hell yeah but she won't fit. Would I rather have had the grapple than rotating grab for this job? Nope. She handles it well all things considered. Saves a lot of backache. I almost miss zero tail. Nver thought I'd say that but actually for this size machine it's nice. But then it wouldn't handle the grab and rotator at all, plus the roof is handy for standing on- it's been a while since I had a machine with a four post steel canopy.

It’s all bullshit. That’s why you’ll tend to find me in the garden of a posh house, cups of tea by the hour and payment as soon as the job is done.

No, the thick positive wire is connected directly to the battery and therefore live all the time. The solenoid connects it to the starter when you turn the key to start. The starter earths back through the chassis so the chassis to earth terminal strap needs to be good also. if you are sure you have no voltage on the thick wire then that’s your problem. Check the battery terminals again, take apart the ring terminals that are bolted on to the battery terminal itself and polish them back to copper.

After struggling to replace all the gear fluids (axles, gearbox and transfer box) on my dumper with a 500cc hand syringe, I was fed up. So much pressure needed that whatever gun I’ve ever used always leaks from the seal on the screw cap. Hard work, and no gun ever seems to draw up from a can so you end up unscrewing the cap and pouring the can in, getting oily in the process. So I bought one of these. It turned up yesterday and made it a pleasure to change the gearbox and diff oils on my tipper. It will both suck and blow (stop sniggering at the back) so you can use it for drawing out old oil if the drain bung is inaccessible. 3L Automatic Transmission Fluid Pump Oil Filling Dispenser&Evacuator Change Tool WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Pneumatic ATF Oil Dispenser is a specialty kit, designed for efficient undercar transmission fluid...

Yeah, no power going to the start wire. Start with the switch and work back from there, assuming battery voltage normal. althoygh that big thick wire should be connected directly to battery so should read the same as the battery voltage. Check battery voltage. Check battery terminals. Check earth terminals.

That's not particularly impractical. Red diesel is going, you have a year to get ready, schedule your buying accordingly. Not rocket science to be fair. What is ridiculous is the multitude of expemptions they have left that are open to abuse and surely will be abused, just as the agricultural exemption is abused day in across the land for transporting plant. If it was actually going to be policed I could reluctantly get behind it, as yet another stealth tax. What I can't abide is this no-mans-land whereby a business is forced to choose between breaking the law (but probably not gonna get caught) and being straight but loosing out on work to a huge proportion of other businesses. Every single one of you on here who runs a tractor or mog for removing a domestic tree, or building site clearance, or indeed anything that isn't the primary industry of bona fide forestry is breaking the law. No ifs or buts. Yet I understand why you do it- you're very unlikely to be pulled up on it, if you do get pulled it will more than have paid for the fine, and above all- everyone else does it!

I'd say they want shooting permission.
