TBH I find it refreshing these kids are playing outside and doing some physical activity. I can’t get my two off the Xbox where they seem to spend most of the time virtually stabbing or beheading people. (I feel compelled to add this is a joke in bad taste and stabbing people is never big or funny and knife crime is obviously a huge problem which like all other huge social problems will require all parties to come together and work for a long term term solution where all are well fed, educated, respected and cared for youths and don’t feel the need to join gangs/stab people/fear for there lives etc)

Don’t worry, It’ll all stop once we’re out of Europe.

Bang on, it’s going to be great and I can see a time when peoples car/house battery becomes used as part of the nations energy infrastructure. 2 cars on the drive on a sunny, windy day take energy in, on a dark calm day give it back to grid. Tech will be able to do the maths, know when you use the cars etc and make it all user friendly and balance with nuclear as the back up as and when.

A vegans nightmare..bacon that was fattened on a bacon fattened fatty!

Sounds like you’ve been good to them and planned well. Hats off to you.

No mess, I’ll do it in the pig shed ??

I think as much as we’ll all be grafting for a long time trying to give the kids a leg up it’ll probably all end up getting sold to pay for the last 20 years of care we’ll be needing. Think if we all knew what was coming we’d live well, give the kids as much as we could along the way to get them started not worry about what we were leaving behind, have 5-10 years dicking about with the lifelong list of projects once retirement age, equity release spend the cash then take the shotgun out to the shed. Sounds grim but seeing father in law have a major stroke at 83 and potentially keep going for another ten years with all the care he needs has scared the shit out of me! Old age isn’t for pussies that’s for sure.

If you put a big funnel in each hole you’ll catch more water
-
String your lines, drop a pinch hole in all your post sites, give this weather a day or too, go back to it. Amazing what a bit of water sitting in a hole does in 24hrs.
-
I use a 3 cuts and a bit of fire lighter gel down the centre. Good idea about wrapping in cling, will nick that one.

Bicycle? It could be the future..

Definitely prefer having lots of machines to employing labour or one new machine..idle digger sat in yard doesn’t cost much. Maclean’s have got a lovely 8t tak with an engcon on if your same would pull it, think you could put 1000 hrs on it and not loose much.
-
snap!

I fancy a trailer like that and something like your 6 tonner. Perfect set up for me but don’t think I could charge enough to cover the cost above a 3ton. Beats an old grain trailer that’s for sure.
-
What trailer is that Matthew..6t, 8t? Looks very handy size
-
B25v, predecessor of the sv26. i looked at the specs a lot too but it doesn’t translate to real world. I was won over by the fact it was local and by tight pins, comfortable seat, stuff that worked etc but all new machine would have that.Try them all on demo first for at least a week would be my advice.
-
Agree mostly but if I’m buying new I still want a dealer that i know will answer the phone in six months time otherwise just buy second hand and take a chance.
-
I’d go sv26 if you have a dealer near who can supply what you want. I’ve gone to doosan dx27 from yanmar and it’s very poor. Power, geometry, cab etc just not as good. Wish I’d demo’d One for a week first. When I was looking sv26 with two proportional lines was £25ish there was also new one on eBay for £22k picture had twin lines but dealer couldn’t guarantee it would be the same machine, the yanmar network seams very haphazard (certainly up here) and this may be reflected in price . Kobelco do same machine but £5k more for blue paint job but I think much better dealer network.
-
Bit dear for me John, thought they were about that new but thanks anyway
-
How much is he wanting for it?
-
What machine has he had it on john?
-
Possibly. Good point. I’ll have to have a look at some diagrams or manuals
-
Handbrake isn’t on the pads, separate shoes which are fine.Discs are fine too. Maybe it’s just compound of pads I’ve had
-
As above, what are you using and happy with? Want good performance and to last a while if poss. Only done about 25,000 in the Range and it’s needing third set of rear pads soon. Put genuine on first time got 15,000, second set ebc yellow stuff may last 11,000 miles. Always towing to max with digger or loader on but very steady and smooth. Tyres will do 50,000 plus. Haven’t done front pads in past 25,000, probably half way down. First thing I’ve done a lot of towing with that’s disc brakes on the rear so maybe the above is normal? I’d be doing shoes more than 60,000 previously.

Ifor is definitely the better trailer, bloody handy with cage sides too
