    I've heard various horror stories regarding fasttracs i am a heavy plant fitter and i would avoid one one lad spent so much on repairs he sold them back to the dealer then leased them back and still came out on tops

    tracked dumpers at that size aren't gonna be that stable by the time you plonk a chipper on top why not just tow it with the dumper and save the hassle

    15w is more viscous when its cold 10w offers less drag when cold starting

    the brake is basically 2 discs that have a concave and a convex face with 2 bellevile washers either side and they are keyed into each side

    the ones that we've done have a damper brake on the pivots to stop this
  6. Breezeblock
    you can but it won't move
  7. Breezeblock
    has this turned into an overloading thread
  8. Breezeblock
    yep but i don't think it'll be that quick
  9. Breezeblock
    yep best tool ever we have 2

    low pressures are usually caused by worn pump or motor or relief valve out of adjust generally speaking if the motor or pump is worn the pressure will increase as rpm goes up also when it gets warmer the pressures will reduce
  11. Breezeblock
    yep its the same
  12. Breezeblock
    yep but the valve block is only 3/8 bsp i think post borers are 1/2 i don't think there will be enough flow as well i aint to keen on raising the rv pressure as the machine is built fairly light i don't really fancy bending frames and links

    almost forgot to post picture of its first job we were trying to find its limits so today its been bogged rolled front ways and then flung a track all in all a good day a bit of mods to get done as the timber slipped out of the lifter so i welded retainers on the bottom and put an extra pulling eye on the front of the chassis to stop it flipping front ways when its pulling

    it probably could be adapted but the hydraulic rv is set to 110 bar so i think this would be a bit too low for it
  15. Breezeblock
    before you even think about touching the hydraulics get a gauge on it and read the pressures

    is it 1 or 2 cyl take the plugs out and make sure your getting a good spark go for basics first

    sloppy bearing fit is the cause of that refit the new shaft and bearings with loctite and it'll be fine

    we've got the diesel version and they are good chippers we have had a few problems but they wouldnt put me off. blades come from saturn the bottom roller seizes up because of the cover underneath take the cover off and fling it the stress control is a good unit but poorly situated where it gets hit with water the bottom roller shaft breaks thru the circlip groove and the bearing fit on the shaft was poor resulting in sloppy bearings

    larger is usually the return change the fittings to 3/4 as they are cheaper and its unlikely that a mini digger needs an 1" coupling for the amount of flow that the pumps produce
  20. Breezeblock
    woop woop springs arrived ace no more getting soak to the skin
  21. Breezeblock
    idle hands makes for the devils work i hope that was landy and not lady
  22. Breezeblock
    thats not needed as you would use bucket tilt for open and closing grab it only needs a direction valve if you don't have 2 way flow on your aux circuit theres no need to add valves if they aren't needed. for the restrictors in the motor you need a directional restrictor as most motors for grabs don't have a built in crossover valve to avoid breaking shafts and the control valve needs to be open port to tank when in neutral so the grab can rotate freely until a movement is required
  23. Breezeblock
    you can fit a cetop style valve and work it with push buttons on the joysticks and take pressure from main pump output or from the breaker pedal or servo system as its for rotation it will work with fairly low pressure
  24. Breezeblock
    it looks heavy enough to do our job its getting put on skid steer thanks chaps
  25. Breezeblock
    does anybody have a riko grab any problems with them whats the build quality like its the small jl grab that i have been looking at
