    Most of the problems nippers have are based around their addiction to mobile phones and social media. They are more worried about how they are perceived on twitterbook and facetube than anything they can achieve, its a race to the bottom. Found an Iphone on a job the other day and the thing was flat, took it home to charge it and I turned it on in the hope someone would phone the number so I could return it, this thing was bombed with social media messages non stop all weekend, eventually tracked down the nipper that owned it. Absolutely no way could that lad ever concentrate on anything he does, its a disease that's wiping out a generation. Bob

    Another vote for any 2.8 diesel engined Mitzi Shogun/Delica/import l200 , engines and running gear are bomb proof. Spares are really cheap and available, they are also easy to maintain. Bob

    Ask him why he has gone into limp mode, suggest he should bring his mum in to help him if he is struggling. Bob

    That`s the PD series test nipple Chris, you will need the pd series coupling. Bob

    Depends on the size of the tender and the company, a lot of companies look at a tender as a way meeting all or most their overheads. Other work is then where profit is made. Bob

    This is a nice dry site and I had already backed the mulcher through the last bit. Completely different in the winter.

    Anything with a bit of ground clearance and 4wd will do, you really need something that will get you right up to where you are working or you will be lugging kit miles on foot. Bob

    Stihl chain oil

    aspenarb replied to TKO's topic in General chat

    Member on here from Rye oils, they supply all of our lubricants including barrels of chain oil, worth a call. Bob

    The cheaper white you see on supermarket forecourts is the same quality as red, the more expensive brands are blends with additives.I doubt if many could tell the difference through an accelerator pedal. Bob

    @difflock I reckon its just because they never monitored the red diesel properly, I don't know anyone that ever does or did. Bob

    There isn't much in the way of bespoke engineering or parts on any machine, better to identify and find alternatives to OEM consumables before the eleventh hour if you want to avoid being shafted. Bob

    Those diamond encrusted discs are really good if teeth are buffed up little and often, too slow if the teeth have gone untouched for a week. Bob

    Tread carefully, can the industrial use be ancillary to the Ag use? Bob

    Sound bit of kit Ruben, its saved us a fortune in soils and labour on the rake. Bob

    Change of use to what? Bob

    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.

    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. Bob

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