    Has any one ever wondered what " -12 " might feel like in June, Would it feel as cold as lets say February ?

    There is also a massive issue with new high spec big HP engines, engines are now that expensive & sometimes highly sensitive to patent filters, so we always use genuine fuel & also genuine hyd filters on this sensitive equipment, by using genuine filters if there is any sort of problem just out of warranty our suppliers are happy to help if we can give them a good argument. It also comes back to " down time " a local agg dealer rebuilt a New Holland gearbox using none genuine bearings " not once but twice " the customer took him to court when it failed the 2nd time & 12 months later, Rumour has it it cost the dealer about 20k & he was in the wrong for not using genuine parts.

    100% agree with your views , I was referring to warranty on replacement failed parts,

    As a main dealer ourselves I can tell you guys out there the bigger the manufacturer " sometimes " the more expensive the part is ( manufacturer + importer = ££ ) , We pride ourselves doing a honest days work & for a fair price, It is always worth checking parts prices before you buy any machinery, Warranty also make's things tricky with the manufacturer if ( as a dealer ) we want reimbursing we have to use genuine parts. If your happy with the machine & the dealer gives service & back up to keep the wheels turning everyone is normally happy, once out of warranty we will always give the customer the choice of genuine or patent part where we can, We have been fitting patent suspension parts & breaks to all our service vans but it is false economy, THEY DO NOT LAST, we had a front lower patent wish bone fail after 90 mile last week & we have been fitting new brake disks & pads every 6 months, so we have now gone back to genuine main dealer parts, sometimes you just don't want the machine down.

    Kevin, I would 100% agree with your views, We have experienced Back Hoes on Skid Steers, Avant Loaders & also Tractors of all sizes & you are correct with your statement, We were that impressed with this one it was " worth telling folk ". Until we set it up on the machine we were not sure what we had, It uses a short top linkage arm to hold it firm & then there is simple pivoting quick-tach bracket on the attachment & when used correctly the pivot action forces / pins the back hoe to the ground, even digging @ 90 degrees to the machine or off set to the one side it's stability is very impressive and - Well worth a look, the best one we have seen -

    Our latest 7.2 loader thinks it is a mini digger,

    Our little Landini 2840 we use for woodland & Verge mowing, photo shows a Siromer Flail but we also have a 60" jungle buster swipe & also a 60" finishing mower we use behind it, She dose spend some time on a log splitter as a last resort due to low oil flow.

    In reply to the topic title, " whats your MultiOne loader doing today " This MultiOne 9.5SD is sweeping the yard & doing a cracking job according to the driver " Mo-Jo Jenkins from Hay on Wye.

    Hello Woodworks,, You are correct in what you say, Manitou own Gehl & Gehl own Mustang & the 3 brands are sold side by side around the world, We ( as a Gehl dealer ) have been selling the Gehl product, mainly skid steers since 2005. The " AL " range of loaders is a product the company expect to see global growth with, The range starts with a 2 series & stops with the 7 series ( the 6 & 7 series both having telescopic booms as options ) The 7 series with telescopic boom is more like a Matbro 200.

    I'v got a Massey Ferguson 130 alongside some old International tractors & the same thing, she had not been started "lets say" for maybe 3 years & a bit of heat & 7 or 8 seconds cranking,, She fired 1st time when I tried her a couple of weeks ago,, " you cant beat the old stuff sometimes "

    Nice crawler,, not many of these left anymore

    Had you thought of buying a cone splitting screw ( off a pto screw spliter ) & making an adaptor to mount it in the auger drive, " quick tip " don't get one with a replacement tip because if you reverse the auger in the wood the tip may come undone.
  16. digaholedumper
    Yes, I had been going on " rather ",, time to keep my gob shut for a little bit now,

    This VDS option is fitted to the 1.8 ton, 2 ton, 2.4 ton, 2.7 ton, 3.5 ton, 3.8 ton & 5.3 ton machine, It is going to be launched on the bigger machines in the not to distant future, If you don't have the need for this option Wacker will supply machines in a more standard format with no VDS as a special order.

    Wacker Neuson might not seam the cheapest machine on the excavator market, but when you compare main line manufacturers spec & what you get for your money you will find Wacker are offering a good spec machine with many more extras in the base line price, VDS is one of those extras spoke about in a earlier post, how do you value this in a machine , it saves wear & tear on the slew ring, it saves wear & tear on the drivers back, It saves time on a job & it makes things a hell of a lot safer. The technology & idea is taken from the Neuson timber harvester & has been available on the range of excavators for the last 15 years it is only the last 2 or 3 years it has been included as a standard feature on some machines

    Wacker do some models with rams on top.. Their hoses are the tidiest of all on the latest machines.. Wacker also do VDS option this is where the under carriage leans 15 degrees to the side if you are working on a slope.. Let me ask you folk out there this question.. If you are driving a backhoe ( 3cx type thing ) do use the rear jack legs to get the machine level to use,, or do you use it on a angle ??
  21. digaholedumper
    If Wacker was 3k more than Volvo, that's the same as Volvo been 3k more than Takeuchi, could you see the 3k difference between Takeuchi & Volvo ? The comparison you have made is like a BMW vs Ford Fiesta.

    This Wacker 2503 design dates back to 2004 & it is only now , in 2018 it has been discontinued & soon to be replaced with a new model.. Wacker have had a tremendous amount of success with this machine with its 14 year reign, we don't know of any other manufacturer who run the same model in their range for 14 years ( mass of pipes or not ) The 2503 has been one hell of a machine for Wacker & there has been no reason to " fix what is not broken " If you have a look at the latest models, ET16, ET20, ET24, EZ38, EZ80 ect ect you will see they are one of the smartest machines on the market today with 36 month Warranty. " My rant is finished now, we do have a lot of time for the Wacker product as you now know "

    Have a look at Wacker Neuson, you may be surprised , definitely on their way up
  24. digaholedumper
    Looks like you have it sorted, What crushers are you running ?

    never seen a 10 battery life on a tracker, The ones we have seen have a long life if un-used... If they are " pinging " signal back the battery life is compromised by the amount used. It may be worth checking the finer facts to be 100% sure on battery life before you have a possible problem with signal.
