I bought a couple of Winton machines to go behind a small New Holland compact tractor., a stone burier and a flail mower. That little tractor has no problem powering these.

Plasma cutter.... what can they and can't they do?
aspenarb replied to swinny's topic in General chat
This is what I am on about Chris, the Cebora prof 55 is supposed to be good for up to a 20mm cut. Plate below was 15mm and I reckon that the max. The tradescut at the bottom of the page is in a different league and only cost me £100 s/h -

Chris plasma cutters are ok if you have the power supply to run a big compressor and the plasma at the same time, that's a big draw.The cut also tends to walk when you get near the max advertised cut of any particular machine, something advertised as cutting 12mm max will do it but 8-10mm would be more in its comfort zone.You may be better off with a rent free oxy bottle and propane or acetylene, having a hot spanner/gas axe is more use generally than just a plasma cutter.

Even if the threads are pulled on the crankcase its worth tapping out the hole to 12mm and trying a stepped stud.

Kinnel! are you on foot? Bob

Could be a plugged suction strainer causing cavitation, worth changing just to eliminate. Bob

What is in/on the magnetic filter will normally tell a tale. Bob -
It would be interesting to know how much petrol it uses a day when used in anger, any chance of monitoring it and letting us know? Really curious to know how these new petrol chippers compare to the old diesel ones. Bob

Looking good Stephen, if you haven't already done it its worth adding a filter in the case drain return line in case the motor poops itself ( and they do). Bob

Stephen is the machine piped for the hydraulic motors case drain? Bob

Most 3.5 tonners with an arb body/tool locker combo and three muckers in the front are overloaded on the front axle without any chip in the back.A few years ago a landscape guy got pulled at Leatherhead, all he had was grass cuttings on the back with a flymow thrown on top, he had to put the passengers in a taxi.

We are using the fuel cards until prices and deliveries stabilise . Bob
-
Deliveries have been slow, we need to order at least two weeks in advance and they cant actually quote a rate until the day of delivery.Got phoning around and there was a 40p a litre difference between the highest and lowest price, our current supplier was the dearest so I swapped to another, some of them are definitely taking the pi55. Bob

If fuel prices carry on like they are steam will become a viable option for generating electricity. Someone go and dig up Fred. Bob

Dont know about that Chris, most of the folk I know living off a pension wear an overcoat indoors and spend all day licking the inside of their lounge windows. Bob

This old girl is still out there earning its keep, nearly 300k on the clock on the original engine. Bob
-
That`s a serous bit of fatigue, may be worth looking for the reason why before buying/fitting a new one, could be a balance issue. Are the knives sharpened as a matched pair or as singles? Bob
-
My nipper has recently done his HGV, need to book it well in advance around here, seems to be a bit of a backlog of slots and tests. Bob

Touch paper lit, stand back 😂 Bob

Nothing wrong with an hourly rate as long as it includes £x per mile travelling, allows for a bit of wear and tear on the saws, starts when you leave the yard and stops when you get back. Bob

Advice on getting care for the old or otherwise ill or disabled..
aspenarb replied to john87's topic in General chat
I think the right direction for getting help for old folk these days would be to put them in a dingy and beach them somewhere along the Kent coast, they will be in five star luxury within the hour. Bob -
Guild of master craftsmen, Checkatrade and motorway maintenance stickers are a pretty good pointer. Bob
