I wouldn't worry about takeuchis reliability I look after a couple of them that are out to a utilities company and you never do anything to them I am sure that if a few utilities bongos can break them an owner operator definitely won't have issues
-
if it was a bigger digger I would say a ripper as its a 5 ton m/c get a pecker for it

don't waste your time trying to glue it we have found that for a temp repair you are better putting a patch over the pinhole if you gouge and fill it up it distorts the tube and can cause the piston to pick up

the diamond wheel needs to be about 4 1/2 inches in dia and thin in section to get the proper curvature on the tooth as well these big wheels may be quick but they don't do it right also get the most powerful bench grinder you can get as you can load up the weights to get them to work faster mines is quite slow but what I do is just leave them running in the background when I am filling the chipper up or sharpening saws etc

I find that if you shock nuts like that with a hammer they come no bother

we only check the suction filters if the machine suffers from cavitation or its had a major break up as said the most important one is the return filter it may be possible to unscrew the suction screen through the return filter housing if you can stretch your arm far enough

I built one with my last company it was the size of a 40cu yd skip and it weighed in at 14t for getting rid of waste it was the best thing I have ever seen we were loading it for 10hr per day for weeks on end with a 25t digger it payed for itself in the first week as there was no waste the only thing you got out of it was scrap iron it had a fan on it that was about 50hp diesel the temperatures this thing would generate were in excess of 2000 deg c that was as high as it could read before the thermocouple melted it was built on a frame and the refractory panels just sat in to it we used to use just normal scrap skips but they would melt in a couple of days if I remember you could only burn something like 18t per day on the license from sepa we were slightly over that:001_rolleyes:

we've had 2 off these makitas and got on pretty good with them ours lasted about 4 years and got used a lot never had an engine failure one got broken up for spares to keep the other going and eventually it died as well but I would go with the echo there stuff is far better quality
