Called to see progress on my new Kobelco unit today, and it's going to be some beast!

The Heavy lift 1.4 tonne counterweight is on, 800mm track pads, with an unusual 100mm inward offset to keep transport width down, and rubber block pads. Guards have been replaced with thicker items, extra track guides etc.

 

This unit has a full Prolec envelope monitor system that will allow me to programme in limits for slew/height when working on highways etc.

 

Packing in a good 30 tonne now we estimate in the base carrier, it should more than boss the job.

 

Lighting package, guarding etc to go on yet, but should be with me early next week to get started on the Engcon and attachments.

Thumbs up for the Kobelco, I am a big fan of them and a much under rated and forgotten Manufacturer .

The old 2.7 Terrano engine is what they used in the Black cabs and goes on forever has well has having a Timing chain .

Suspension is the issue on the front but otherwise a better motor than the Freelanders

Ste

Kobelco micro diggers have lead the way for years and years , my old sk007 has been at since 1996 and still going strong today .

Gutted I am ....bought a cheap one off flea bay last week !! Works well but that looks much more accurate and not much more in price.

My first attempt at Milling, Beech was felled last year and been sat in my yard since. Bought a cheap £99 mill of e bay and am happy for now .

Need to fine tune my method to get a cleaner cut.

Ste

Firewood, or maybe the lounge?

Quality picture lol ...says it all.

Cant quite work out what that is but is this with an extension?

Played about with these in my local Stihl dealer .....selling like hot cakes to the the Japanese etc for trimming them Bonsi shrubs ........ cracking bit of kit .

Ste

Cheers for the input, how do you find battery life?

I use the older 115ap and 180ap , the 115 is fine for the Top handle saw to keep it like a feather but otherwise crap for hedge-cutters.

The 180/200 does me proud but I believe the new 300 is the one .

I have the strimmer,long and normal hedge-cutters plus the top handle saw and they have made my life on the Garden maintenance and lot easier on the repetitive starting etc .

Ste

Had the Hla 85 for over 2 year's now and fairly impressed but for a years growth on Hawthorn has a one off yes , the blades are the same has the top of the range handheld cutters (double sided) Privet hedges and Conifers it loves .

I have had a warranty issue over the clamp on the telescopic bit which to be fair is utterly crap .

The motor is located at the end so it's a direct drive for those that are not mechanical minded.

Ste

Is it possible to source spares for the Nuffield?

Try Agriline

Surely that's harder to clear up?

Bulk bag at the Ready .......easy

Flatyre...if using a hedge cutter slice in like cutting a cake then cut outwards .

Ste

I always you a old Stihl HS81 with the wide blades ... eats pampas grass down to ground level in no time.

Ste

Would they be any good for lawns cut on a fortnightly basis? Could speed up a few jobs of mine if it would cope ok.

All my lawns are fortnightly and the Turfmaster is fine BUT if you get a spell of wet weather in the summer the grass will be to tall for Mulching and they will clog up .

I pick and choose the jobs for it that are old established lawns that are slow growing .

Ste

Great mowers for regularly maintained lawns , I run the Turf master now for 3 years and slightly tweaked.

They hate damp and tall grass .

You can cover some ground in no time with them and leave a fine finish

Ste

Looking good.

If no one posted there machinery there would be a lot less to look at on this forum, it's not like we're posting details of our security. Besides, I expect most people here spend a lot of time and money advertising what they have anyway.

On Today's jobs posts everyone is putting pictures of just about everything .

Ste

Excellent machine that will cut tall wet grass and also cut a well maintained lawn and leave a good finish. Only issue i find after a long stint using one is my Hips are sore !

I used Hy Tran oil in mine.

Ste

The scrappage scheme is to means tested allegedly....the nearer you are to London the more you will be offered etc and the same to the next most polluted City .

Ste
