  1. Ifor williams switched about with tyre and size for years why the hell they never stuck to one size on all there flat, tipper and plant trailers. My 12x6 drop side has had no end of punctures and always right on the edge of tread. Last week got one which was a very small stone like a sharks touth.
  2. If yard is concrete, use old digger track bolt it to a big lump of steel weld some tine sockets to it to fit pallet tines, or if you have 4in1 bucket just grab it.
  3. I ve not got one, but uncle has been driving diggers for well over 40 years, his son bought a second hand one to fit a 8 ton 360 he couldn't believe how easy it made job after years of chasing stuff with bucket. But like other have said a thumb is also a game changer when moving brash and timber about plus a good driver on machine and bloke on saw laying brash down cut in the right length to move about.
  4. There's a company called microplant in suffolk how run Opico skidster loaders, maybe worth a call to see if he knows of a supplier. Microplant - Hire, Sales & Servicing of Mini - Loaders, Diggers, Tractors, Trenchers and Hole Borers WWW.MICROPLANT.NET

  7. How big is your barrow.
  8. Made by a member on here, Cannon access (Tom Cannon).
  9. Original I recon as bolt still had paint on.
  10. Lost hydraulics on 3pl o fendt the other week, one problem was it dumped all the oil from hydraulic tank into the back that was 20 litres of oil in the wrong place. Spoke to mechanic and said seal in arm ram, easy job access via cab remove mat and plate undo plate with 4 bolt and pull out, straight forward to that point then tried to put new seal on with no joy. Off to local hydraulic lads tomorrow hope they can fit it.
  11. Got asked twice last week how do you manage to work in this weather, my answer was go value for money weather. You just get on with job and don't stand around.
  12. Local hire company should have one. All depends on how big would of thought 5 inch machine would do and easy to push around by a couple of people.
  13. It will fit both ways, so I would check first.
  14. Baffle plate the right way around, makes one hell of a differents.
  15. Be ready for many visits from plod looking to see what's happening.
  16. Did a small sycamore yesterday, just cut and chuck had to make increase distance between set cuts. Was around - 2 while doing it and had been - 8 over night.
  17. There is nothing wrong with thermostat as it warms up quickly but I want instant heat. It is a landy we are talking about. Was also think of an inverter then plug a small heater in, could also use it to power other stuff.
  18. Should of said it would be for quick de-ice in morning and will sitting having lunch and engine would be running.
  19. Anyone used one of these, as sitting in truck the last couple of days frozen.
  20. If in full sun in the summer they will move all over the place. Hung a pair of 8ft softwood field gates for a customer which were in full sun were the two met there was a twist of over a foot by the middle of the first summer.
  21. Nice work, but if you are selling timber cut it lower also a nightmare for anyone want to get about in there with tractor.

  24. Another home made tool for digger, mark 1 needs a little change to make it better but ripped out 3 old willow roots in 45mins and a conifer root in 20mins.
