aspenarb replied to gensetsteve's topic in Large equipment

Any cheap tools are cr@p. Brand new cheapy circlip pliers out of the yard tool box on the right that snapped the end off the first time I used them vs the workshop ones from Facom that I have had for thirty years old and still perfect. We wont mention the hour I spent trying to fish out the POS from the JD gearbox with a magnet. Bob

I dont drive as a profession so was going to give it a miss but in doing so would give up the acquired rights . That then means having to do all four parts of the drivers cpc and not just the 35 hours if I later decide to go for it. What a pain. Bob

For years thats what we have done and had no problems whatsoever , because the workforce have been dispersed recently they have been doing their own and somehow been making mistakes with ratios on part fills and guessing the oil quantities. The results are two dead ms 880`s , Bob

How about this then. One mornings work:thumbdown: Bob

This is more of a question really. I can see the benefits of the high sides/ greedy boards but dont understand the reason for mesh. I think it just invites the wind and turbulence to eject the contents when on the move. Would sheet ali not be a better job with a decent net on top? Bob

This 101 is festering in the yard, true 1 ton carrying capacity 3.9 efi engine and high ratio transfer box, goes like stink. Must be a candidate for a truck cab and tipper body. Anyone fancy the challenge ? Bob

How to remove a fallen tree from a canal?
aspenarb replied to Simon Rotheram's topic in General chat
We have a 40` barge with a hiab , 9" chipper and a gurt great hydraulc winch on the front but could not justify the cost of transport and craneage for such a small tree .We could hire you our hydraulic chainsaw which runs on bio via a powerpack if you just want to chew away at it in a pair of waders.Its got a 24" bar and its fine under water.

Reminded myself why i went from landys to japanese...
aspenarb replied to wisecobandit's topic in General chat
Well you anti landrover boys can say and buy what you like but you cant take away the fact that land rover have produced more 4x4`s than any other single manufacturer of which 75% are still on the road. So how bad and unpopular can they really be , outdated yes but POS definitely not. Now show me some 1940`s jap 4x4`s that are still in daily use that you can still buy all the parts you need to keep it going. I wont hold my breath for an answer. Classic Land Rover - Telegraph Bob -
We have got one of these and really the only problem is trying to steer the thing when the pin locks are in on the wheels , they have to be in to move about in the dirt but you have to keep shunting to get the thing to turn. Other than that they are a good reliable easily repaired little grinder. Bob

aspenarb replied to wisecobandit's topic in General chat
There`s nothing wrong with a landy. That type of valve problem in most cases is caused by worn valve guides which can happen with high mileage on any engine. The only way a valve can loose its heat is through proper contact with the guide , sloppy guide = red hot valve= inevitable failure. Bob -
I remember when everyone knocked the jap stuff, look at them now. That looks like a cracking little truck for the money, you can rest assured that the manufactures will deal with any niggles very quickly and it will be common place in no time. A mate of mine in the west country has been importing chinese tractors for a few years now and they value the customer feedback , upgrades and improvements are almost instant. They want western trade. Bob

V out the crack with a dremel and get someone out with a portable tig to tig braze the crack, he/she ( pc ) wont be there ten minutes and the job will be 100%. Bob

Not much gets past you Stephen, we opened up the site for them with the mulcher about 18 months ago. Its a gem 25,000 gallons of water later its just coming back to life. Bob

If I was doing that job down this way I would drop them one at a time , sned them out and stack all the timber roadside , push all the lop and top up in a heap with a telehandler and only chip that. There must be a minimum of 600 ton of saleable timber there @ a min £15 a ton collected. Bob

Leave the curry alone. I dont think it tails off much down here, it always seems manic. Bob

An odd job for us, our bowser is normally used for tree watering but a contractor we do some work for had 5000 sq mts of turf that was suffering a bit with this dry weather. We rigged up the pumps on the back of the bowser and they managed to keep up with 8 of those rotating sprinklers which surprised me. Seems to have made a big difference very quickly . Bob

Its all a load of codswallop this business about lorry width, there are not many places we cant stuff our trailers in. all of the bigger trucks measure 8` wide vs a 7.5 ton which can be the same or smaller at 7`6". That is not enough to make the slightest difference. I had to get our truck down the single track road below and into the gateway in the righthand side of the picture. Yes it took about five minutes but so what.Go for the biggest you can get, you wont regret it. Bob
