    @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.

    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
  19. aspenarb
    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
