how you going to carry that heath robinson wonder to site ?
-
couldn't agree more. thats good advice. I whittled my list to 3 and tried them all on site for a day. I was initially dead set on the taki but found it to be a dog compared to the kubota. Like it was 10 years behind.
-
here is my old comparison table when I was sorting a >3 tonner. The Kubota's couldnt be beaten really which is what I ended up with. Shame Kubota UK sales are utter utter pants.
-
350 a week for 7 tonners. no brainer. would maybe pay the 500 and get a 13 tonner

i wouldn't care if they were stuffed or not. They are straight up stealing from you and to your face to boot. Amend your terms to include 'any unauthorised tampering with any part of the machine will result in a £1000 charge to re certify'. I'd put a couple of counters as well, one that is very hard to get it that you will only need if they pull your other one.
-
roll up unannounced for a 'routine maintenance checkup' and see if thats the case. if it is, take them off site immediately, you dont want to be hiring to scum.
-
not in the market really, lots of little taki's there though. Agricultural but popular.

Lots of diggers! https://auctions.eddisons.com/auctions/6911/eddiso10369

For the love of god, stainless steel nails to stop the stains!

i had the larger muck truck until it was robbed. Great tool, easier to use than our hinowa 800 tracked. Very good payload as well, it holds near enough 3 builders barrows of stone. You can take the dump bed off and put a flatbed on for bulky items, it also had a tow ball for shunting work as well. We make use with our hinowa now for the odd occasion we need it but miss the muck truck.

send me your magic wand for making it detect plastic water and gas. Like I said good for electric.
-
so they are in series, you could just undo 1 link between battery 4 and 5 this would give you a 24v and a 12v. on the 24v use https://www.ctek.com/products/professional/mxt-14 on the 12v use https://www.ctek.com/products/vehicle/xs-0-8 these are top end chargers that will condition and not just charge.
-
only any good for electric really, i have one myself. Water doesnt matter as can fix yourself assuming not a 12" main! Gas wont be found.
-
i expect they are 6 or 12 volt batteries wired up in serial/parallel so maybe could use a ctek
-
Hopefully they not going tits up. https://auction.newengland.co.uk/lots/auction/palfinger-sale-2/brochure

none of the cheap 100 or less measure height, they measure the length of the line. Nothing stopping you using a straight line laser with an angle finder and then doing the math. http://www.tiem.utk.edu/~gross/bioed/bealsmodules/triangle.html Or you can buy a machine and press the button. You need the leica on a tripod so it can do the trigonometry and give you a actual height measurement. Should get a used one for £3-£400. We use one on site for measuring roof heights and pitches.

its NOT the dogs fault. That's an chicken$hit was of dealing with it.
-
the brikkies will be up the scaff and wont be coming down to speak to joe public. The telehandler will know who to ask and will be around the access to road to talk to. Drop him a £20.
-
goto nearest big site, find the telehandler driver. Tell him you got a £600 weekend job for a brikkie.
-
or monthly if you find cash flow is hard.

What to do when you want to sell kit onHP/finance
donnk replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Business Management
sell digger, the purchaser pays the finance comp direct, you make up any loss. Expensive mistakes are the best ones to learn from. -
last two motors Ive had (VW and BMW) neither saw a dealer for any service. The only problem you have now, they dont come with a service book to stamp its all electronic so you have to buy a paper one.
-
its not going to pull 125amps to charge a little saw battery. Thats just the max rated, I would expect it to actually draw maybe 150w at peak dropping to 50 or so when it trickles.
-
you do not need to use a main dealer for servicing to retain warranty, this was made illegal quite a while ago by the EU.
-
from the size looks like a 1000w inverter, and no there wouldnt be any difference in charge time.
