It’s was a demo Chris, I put the water/diesel in the bottle to show the paste working. Bob

Most waxing is down to the water content Bill, made worse with low fuel levels because of water content as a percentage. Not hard to check holding tanks and machines, there is a paste called Kolorkut , smear a bit on a stick and dip the tanks, it shows up water within as a red marker. Bob Water red diesel mix.

Definitely qualifies, made worse by being buried in among bramble 👎

It turned up next day. Its a bit of a beast, impressed with the fast charger, its really quick. Also fired a few staples into some hardwood which it did no problem, its got about two thousand staples to fire in next week so we will see how it gets on 👍 Bob

Thanks for that Ruben, I had been resisting the temptation to go red 😂 Bought this set up, will see how it goes. Bob

Thinking of getting a fencing stapler, choices are mind boggling. Air, canister or cordless powered, whats good and whats not? Got a lot to do and not feeling the love for the claw hammer. TIA. Bob

You can still be road legal with a 2.7 ton machine on a plant trailer like an Alumax, as Ruben has mentioned all attachments would need to go on the tow vehicle. Bob

The UK doesn’t really get the kind of cold snaps that would necessitate the use of winter diesel, 99% of the waxing problem is moisture in the fuel. If the holding tanks and the machine tanks/filter bowls are regularly drained of any water you shouldn’t get a problem.Water content is the main reason some machines suffer with waxing and others don’t. Bob

Get a bigger trailer If you dont want a truck you can always put a dolly under the front of the trailer and pull it with the tractor. Bob

Recently bought this 3/4” drive nut gun off aliexpress, advertised as 3000nm of torque ( it’s not) but does make short work of truck wheel nuts. Not had it long enough to evaluate,first impressions are good. Bob

Ye of little faith, 60mph wind and driving rain won’t stop them 😂 Bob

That will feck them😂

Its worth studying the rule book, PMI's can be stretched out to 8 or 12 weekly intervals if the mileage is low, low is comparative to something like a 7.5 tonner on mulitidrops that runs around the clock with multiples of drivers,worth considering because all PMI's from April of next year need to include a laden brake test. In our game because driving is only a small proportion of the days work the drivers hours can be recorded in a drivers hours book rather than the digi card or analogue disc. All these need to be put into order before you turn a wheel. Bob

Gas axe is my go to for bearings on shafts, takes seconds. Bob

We have this high tip, useful bit of kit but logistically its a bit of a nightmare when used on domestics if the job only warrants a truck and chipper. Bob
