in many systems the hyd oil is filtered on return,so that wont remove bits of o ring from the pump for example, interesting article on suction strainers, but who would propose you let combined gearbox and hydraulic oil into a pump without a filter one thing I would emphasize is to stick to your guns if the dealer or manufacturer is pointing fingers at you. The easiest getout they have is to put it down to something the customer has done, even if that is almost totally implausible. I found an 11/16 in ball bearing rattling around in a tractor gearbox, the manufacturers denied that it was anything to do with them as none were called up anywhere on that tractor, no one could have placed it there except me or someone on the production line, all I got was a muted apology after I offered to have the metallurgists look at it.

Agreed, except this year everyones got grass coming out of their ears and dodgy paddocks with no fencing or water come at the bottom of the price range, maybe park the rams there till November, but thats not going to turn it into the bowling green of dreams!

looks like it would take a morning just to open the gate! In the book of words pasture topping and setsaide topping both are listed at ££13.20 per acre, bearing in mind pasture would be grazed off before hand and setaside would be in 50 acre fields but quite heavy going, 6 years worth of mole hills and you have got to be talking £250 for the job, add on your brushcutter round the boundry...

Vast amount of Arb timber going spare. Rugby

Could you speak to the boffins so that Avatars appear as "current at the time of postings" I thought I had had one too many Stellas, and then it turned into a bird! -
Best method for transplanting trees other than spade.
farmer rod replied to num83r13's topic in General chat
you can either hire in the proper guys which is probably the most reliable, but I moved one that size by digging round it and shovelling it up in the telehandler bucket, any success is more likely down to aftercare! -
I would have thought you would want to hammer from the cab, how do other guys do it? I have a knocker on our telehandler, if we have lots to do then I have a man on the ground, otherwise fairly useable from the seat. Rod

Mark, do you think Arbtalk is ready for a "Show us your Fridge" thread, outside only of course, inside might be too personal?
-
So let me get this straight, I was spraying blue stuff and someone insisted I needed Plastic Protection and sold it to me, but as I just wanted to be a Smurf, Im due compensation:confused1:
-
:lol:
-
If you dont have the correct ppi you can get a job as a Smurf

Big J, Im way out of my depth with phase angle correction, but if the motor controller is electronic, then it is possible that it is limiting the electrical power to the motor as the revs decrease, motors as we all know draw more current under load, something you have is stopping that. Good luck with this, what a mystery Rod
-
Just another random thought, Is the motor revolving the correct way, Having not seen the machine, I might be asking a daft question, but for instance a shaping machine has a linkage that provides a uniform force and speed on the work stroke, and a quicker return stroke.
-
Hi Big J, How are you measuring the current? If it an ammeter on the machine , can you change it to measure on different phases? And also, Does the sawing motor stall or trip out? Hope you get this sorted, and just a few random thoughts, but it would be another plus for Arbtalk if we came up with the answer! Rod

We had some brash chipped for our boiler, G30 chips have been no problem, came in dry after about a year seasoning, but it was hardwood brash, mainly ash and alder. However it took about twice as long to produce our requirement, so you can expect it to cost a bit more to chip. You cant get that hairy stuff through the machine at the same rate as 9 inch conny poles. In our case I was happy to do it, because otherwise we would have spent time pushing up fires.
-
Dont go bonkers, take a deep breath and ask yourself " What price would I like to do this job for" and quote that and stick to it. A word of caution, new customers who want you to jump through hoops are quite often dodgy, so ask around.

I have to admit that contrary to my previous assertions about Marmite, those little blighters are impervious to anything!
-
Im a believer in Marmite, supposedly if you eat plenty of it the the bugs leave you alone, I love it an my Mrs gets shredded by anything with six legs. So do you love it or hate it?

Watching the trees get hairy It's not very pretty I tell thee Walking through woods is quite scary It's not very sensible either I predict a reduction....
-
Thats the one, but our local ones seem to have bigger teeth:biggrin:
-
:lol: no second hand ones on ebay, so they must be good :lol:
-
I am ready to be corrected, but if its next to a right of way or borders a domestic curtilage , then its ok, otherwise, no

Hi Donk, have you chosen a model for your job?
-
It looks like a control cable outer, so motorcycle brake cable, car handbrake cable, outboard motor steering cable etc, depending on how industrial you want it (or how long)
