    So you want Scotland to keep and use all the energy, whilst we below the border actually prop up your electric network ?. You need what's known as base load to actually use the "renewable", which if memory serves is mostly produced outside of Scotland.

    Don't mention the ferry, don't mention the ferry.

    That and the physical size of the actual conductor, which has to be larger than if in open air. Plus you cannot be self sufficient in wind energy, you need a grid to support it and prevent blackouts.

    What about some bright heat shrink on the handle ?. Won't go sticky like tape.

    Whatever it is it'll be 20% as a general rule of thumb. Might even need to get yourself a EORI number due to the value, depending on the shipping company you'll probably also need to sign paperwork and pay them for the processing of paperwork.

    Ah, that's the big boy hatz at around 2.6 litres without the silent pack. I've the tiny single cylinder 667cc silent pack, is yours a fixed RPM as they seem to sell variable versions. Just thinking whatever you want to mate it too you'll need to know the max rpm so it doesn't grenade itself. Daft question, have they adjusted the valve clearances ?. As I assume it's just smoke from the diesel burning and not oil consumption.
  7. GarethM
    Hatz engines will always smoke on start up, they use a simple over fuel start system as they don't have an fuel injection system like a Perkins. It's one of the reasons a hatz goes full throttle on starting regardless of what the throttle settings is before settling down.

    Grab.

    They're pass through hydraulic ports, should be two tho, Google ICM hydraulic rotator. Four ports at the top 2 make it go right or left and the other 2 go through the middle to your grab.

    Think the post office, like any place will be ok as long as you're not taking 1000s in every day as even I'm surprised they don't have a vault in the branch, yet banks expect them to do most of the customer banking these days. It all depends on price of the job I guess, what sort of price range do they start asking?. No I wasn't suggesting fiddling the vat, but maybe quote more initially, what the customer doesn't know and all that ?.

    With most banks being few and far between, it's mostly down to the post office to handle these days.

    Is it a rotator or a hydraulic ram ?. As I'm not sure if a rotator is just a fancy downsized hydraulic pump, so it would flow through as it turns. If that's what it is then if the seals have failed it would bypass more than normal causing less power.

    GarethM replied to woody paul's topic in Cranes and Mewps

    Is the grab on quick disconnects ?. Open the grab disconnect and leave for a day, if you come back and it's closed its bypassing the seals.
  13. GarethM
    I wouldn't overthink it too much, e stop, winch in and freewheel out. It's probably the usual Scandinavian litteral translation, clutch for go & brake for stopping the drum power. Seeing the more fancy winches they have all the reverse power feed functions etc especially on the radio remotes.

    Grab.

    GarethM replied to woody paul's topic in Cranes and Mewps

    Is it a one piece valve block or slice type, if it's slice swap functions and see if it still bypasses. Low tech but seals are cheaper than a new valve block

    Always welcome, my internet sleuthing skills do occasionally pay off. In regards to how it works, effectively diodes are used for voltage/arc suppression when turning on/off to avoid blowing bulbs, fuses and electronics etc. However they are using it on the left turn signal, when you E stop it back feeds 12v to the brake diode. Stopping it from working, like putting your finger over a running hosepipe. I am a little surprised they don't do it to the clutch side aswell, but they may have reasons ?. Side questions, what happens when you normally e stop, does it just stop the winch/stall the tractor ?.

    Ok I know this is random, but this EH model seems similar across most brands.

    Krpan website leaves a lot to be desired, igland isn't any more helpful. Surely they'd want you to have easy access to spares diagrams and such. Failing any other ideas, Jas P Wilson it is Monday morning 🙂

    I did have a trawl of the internet regarding a wiring diagram, nothing turned up. Can't be overly complicated, as I guess it can't free wheel as default for safety reasons unless you press a button. Is there a control box, as there might be a diagram sticker on the inside of the cover ?.
  19. GarethM
    Maybe it's a sign from the wood gods, or our lord and saviour Andreas Stihl to rip out the wired and go wireless?.

    They aren't even that great for decanting chain oil into smaller containers. Plus I'd be a bit apprehensive about keeping large amounts of fuel other than diesel on site. Maybe decant into a metal jerry can after purchase.

    Buisness banking isn't really that expensive in the greater scheme of things, 35p a transaction with NatWest if you're PAYG. Do use sage for accounts, so anything that's not allocated, invoiced or recorded flags up as something to fix.

    Probably best speaking to your accountant, I'd personally take a smaller salary with the benefits. Then see what you can do with a percentage dividend or something similar, encourages the turnover to increase and makes it look like you're not taking the Mick with the staff 🙂
  24. GarethM
    50-60k sounds more realistic, plus that's excluding the financial perks of being the owner for own vehicles, laptop, iPad, phone etc etc. Is your Mrs also on the books as an accountant?

    I'm kinda intrigued as to why it's got two guy ropes tied onto fence posts either side.
