The bottom filter is the suction filter and the top one is the oil return, I think Takeuchi just recommend giving the bottom one a clean and replace top one. Either way it's a pain in the backside!

If you passed your driving test pre 1997 you have entitlement tow up to 3500kg, post 97 and you have to do a new test to have entitlement, basically a driving test allover again but with a trailer on the back.

Daihatsu fourtrak? Or too long in the tooth now?!
-
That's interesting Jimmy- that's the first bit of first hand feedback iv ever heard on the stump planet, I once phoned augertorque and they said 8ton minimum as a parent machine, but their website suggest a smaller machines would be ok.
-
Sounds intriguing- look forwards to the pics!
-
fair enough point on the smaller diggers, but was surprised by the post above mine about the 25ton machine not being able to run one, but then I guess it's all size relative. I guess the donkey engine is all perfectly doable but probably too weighty on a 1.5t.

Auger Torque - Stump Planers, Tree Stump Planer Iv often though about getting one of these, I have the auger anyway so would be quite cheap to buy the planer attachment. I quite like the idea of it myself- nice an controlled and no flying debris. I have never used one though myself. My auger can drill a 12 inch hole through concrete (takes a while!) so would surely have enough power to plane a 25cm stump? Mulitiple passes for bigger stumps. Iv always found it strange how diggers can easily run flails etc but not grinders...

What spacings are your tines on that rake? That one for digbits is good because it's profile is much like a bucket so it's easy to scoop material, most other ones the tines are not nearly as curved as that one.
-
Charlie, I bought a digbits bucket rake to go my 3 tonner a few months ago. It's well built, it would take quite a force to bend it, I have used mine on two jobs so far- one was to rake up an acre of brambles which it did very well, the other is to rake an area of ground free of 3" plus stones, it's perfect for this kind of thing. Probably wouldn't take root pulling but don't think you will be disappointed, the bucket profile makes it easier to scoop and move roots/stones than most land rake profiles which are too flatter profile IMO
-
Ignore my first question, just zoomed in and see the grab pushes the material against the blade So only one set of Hydraulics needed.
-
And what sort of money if you don't mind me asking? I really like the sound of the tigercut. Is that a 2.5t Wacker running it?
-
How is that piped? You appear to only have the one set of hoses, I thought you needed one set for the grab and another for the blade?, or do you have abdiverter in the cab?

AgFab.co.uk - Home Here you go, didn't know they had a website.
-
Agfab I think they call themselves, they run from Devon plant services in Winkleigh- if you phone them they put you through to the bloke who makes them. I phoned up wanting a Herbst multi purpose dump trailer (they used to be the dealers) but he gave me a good price on a well specced Agfab trailer with any extras I wanted adding.
-
Tidy 856, 2wds have alot of advantages working in tight spots. Get most places too with a good set of tyres the back. Firm near me makes up trailer to pretty much any spec you like, I liked the idea of a multi purpose drop side dump trailer. With sockets to accept bolsters too, that way you can have a trailer for chip one day and a timber shifter the next...
-
That's very inspiring- nice one. How thick are the doors? Must be quite a weighty thing all in. Wish I had skills like that:thumbup:
-
I have a 300tdi myself and it's been bulletproof. They are both pretty good engines, but 300 more basic, cheaper and easier to fix. They are however getting on now, the latest ones being 20 years old! Plenty of places rebuild them though if it ever comes to this. I swear that tdi chassis were made of better steel than later defenders but I have no evidence to back this up. I don't consider myself a particularly accomplished mechanic but i have been able to do most things to my 300 myself if and when required.

Or pull the wool over your eyes, some can be a bit horny though I find.

Sorry to hear this, but to clarify, you have divorced your (ex) wife yet she is STILL entitled to your pension??

Hope he's rolling with Beethoven and telling Tchaikovsky to move. Legend, love Chuck Berry

Sorry Beau, I just can't really see 'microwave dried logs' ever really catching on, but gives a new meaning to the term cottage industries!

I want to mortise a load of posts and be able to do so for future jobs. I currently use a standard bar but it not great because of kickback but also it makes a quite big hole [ame] [/ame]This looks like a handy attachment but can't find any for sale over here so donyou a carving bar would do alot better job than a standard bar? Cheers

Bit like if you have paid into a mortgage all your life for a house, the moment your in a care home- you have to sell to pay for the care, if you don't have a house to sell/large pot of money they pay for you!
-
Luckily I don't employ anyone- but if I did I'd be expressing the same sentiments as you Simon, then again if it wasn't the case would they be raising national insurance or national minimum wage instead so people can make their own provisions?

I hope you took before and after weights for us to guess
