  1. auger circuit is double acting the breaker circuit is single acting with the breaker return going straight back to the hyd tank via the return filter if you are wanting to run a log splitter with an open centre valve this is the setting to use as it avoids contamination going thru the valve block and it will work better as when the splitter valve is in the neutral position the oil will just be sent straight to tank
  2. just watched it totally outrageous scum of the earth
  3. is there a spare service for the hammer or aux if there is you can tap into that whats the requirements of your saw
  4. thats an excellent idea simple but effective low loader drivers will love that
  5. if you are buying the green teeth copies watch out for the diameter of the carbide as its smaller than the genuine green teeth and the nose of the shank wears because of this and the carbide seems to be not as good a quality
  6. solenoids are on or off unless its got a proportional set up i would think your issues are hydraulic stick a pressure gauge on it and see whats join on
  7. stick on ebay as slight damage and buy a new one
  8. is there a charger available for 12v for them or does it need an inverter to charge them on site
  9. if its got its own engine it will probably be ok if its powered by the minis hydraulics prepare to be disappointed they are dire
  10. is it possible the head is cracked letting oil drain into the inlet side
  11. is it the correct head gasket as there may be oil ways in the gasket
  12. can you take the exhaust manifold off and see if there is one cylinder realy smoking if so swap inceptors or pump elements around
  13. when you turn the engine over by hand does it feel like there is plenty of compression on all cylinders i would do a compression test before i condemned the piston or rings as genset steve suggested i would be inclined to look at fuel pump/injectors first also what caused the initial damage with the valve was it over revving due to fuel pump issues possibly or did it run on its own oil
  14. the pan is available as a spare part i would just weld the new one on top for a quick hassle free repair
  15. i done one a couple of months ago and they are excellent fun the only problems we had were knocking of dead branches
  16. i do trees and heavy plant and after doing plant for 20 odd years its not glamourous try fixing a dumper thats shat its pants in the middle of a landfill the bit where they tip nappies and slaughter house crap or digging grease out the slew ring on a mining shovel with a wetsuit on trust me you would want to be back in the trees its far better mrs smith bringing out a cup of tea than some tit going off there trolley because they're diggers broke down
  17. thats max flow and pressure which equates to 17 ish hp i would go for the smaller 16ton cylinder as its all about speed that what makes you money if the stuff is really that badly knotted i would be tempted to toss it to the side and half it with a saw but even so 16 ton is a good output we do everything with a 10 ton ram and haven't really had to throw much stuff to the side
  18. yep scam definitely shame as i was up in inverness yesterday
  19. was it wind damaged or snow at one point with the wide spread and the horizontal stem
  20. i had something similar when i was an apprentice i was knocking out a track rollers hard steel with a 4lb mash 2 bits came off one went in my cheek and the other sliced my ballsack hydraulic presses only now because of this
  21. were some of these pictures taken at landmark centre i recognise the green ride in the background
  22. they look awfully like a rebadged chinese made thing I've seen before
