Used a trilo mower vac before for sucking the clippings off turfgrass before lifting it for instant lawns, not a big one. 60 hp tractor was well able for it. Well built machines but very loud to be around for an extended time. The Schouten replaced it. Don't know how or why but its much quieter.

Whats your multione loader doing today ?
Conor Wright replied to digaholedumper's topic in General chat
I ended up keeping the neomach x30 I had on demo. So far so good, thought I'd stick up a few photos of what it's been doing. Can't fault it really. Another 2 or 3 hp would be good but then I'd need a dpf so I'll say no more in that regard. The attachments make it. Have a few more I'd like to add as time goes on. Its proven itself to be a great labour saver, Especially on smaller jobs where the 3 ton digger was either a bit cumbersome or just too heavy on ground. 20231120_133153.mp4

There's a Dutch brand called Schouten, they make an in between size flail collector, designed like a forage harvester but with a flail or scarifying head. Well put together machines, but you'd need to have work for it. They're not cheap to buy. Here's a picture because I don't think I explained it too well.

Always ran mine on 1000. Speed is your friend here, keep the rotating mass rotating. On lighter stuff we'd reduce the revs but I could count on one hand how often it was used at 540. From memory 2200 rpm on the mog was 1000 pto, we often ran it between 1800 and 2000 rpm.

Nice, would make a great little yard office, did you make it? Any more detailed photos of around the windows?

I'll bite, assuming it's north of sligo, so a bit out of my normal area and assuming access is as good as you say and it can all be done with mewp, loader and chipper. 5k plus vat all in. Assuming all chip and wood remains onsite. Biggest cost (for me) would be moving machinery. I'd take it on alone too, maybe sub in a good climber for a day or two if necessary. If it was closer to home it'd be a bit cheaper, but not vastly.. Bear in mind I'm quoting from photos which I never usually do, but I think the wide angle photos make the trees look smaller than they are. If you do go at it yourself, I'm hiring a chipper and compact loader with or without operator if you're interested In making life easier for yourself. I'll await those who think it's either a 20k job or 500 quid and a cuppa at 11 and home by 3....

Could be worthwhile checking out the worx range, my missus got a 3 in 1 thingy a few years back, trimmer, grass trimmer and weeding attachment.. nifty little thing. I've borrowed it a couple of times and failed to break it, so it ain't that badly made. She has a good few worx bits for hobby work and gardening and so far so good. her drill outlasted my milwaukee one, something I'm regularly reminded of... https://www.amazon.co.uk/WORX-WG801E-91-Hedge-Trimmer-Black/dp/B084SC1KKL/ref=asc_df_B084SC1KKL/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=463045438068&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4699318828421951730&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007850&hvtargid=pla-949225281961&psc=1&mcid=d9c6fca32f533512ac77fb3fbfbb8ef0

That's a brave spot to put the six way valve!

4 years or more since I got a noco and it's only now starting to lose its oomph. Has started all manner of machine including the mog. Good little device, but I have noticed it's no longer up to starting larger engines. Wouldn't be without one all the same. Its proved useful during power cuts and when camping too. I usually keep it topped up from the 12v charger in the jeep, it might get a full mains charge twice a year, this may have had an effect on it.

Its not what you were looking for, but on lighter laurel and conifer jobs I use an iseki sxg 19 with collector. Similar machines would do the same job. It's not ideal but it sucks up more than you would think, providing you crawl along. Reduces the bulk a lot and you can tip straight into a trailer, saving most of the raking up. At a guess I'd say it removes 70% of the clippings, bit of blowing and a few minutes of raking is still required. But much reduced.

Most disgraceful customer supplied refreshments.

It's better than the result of putting the milk in first, then the teabag into the cold milk, followed by luke warm water and a limp wristed stir without even squeezing the bag on removal. I figured it'd be more polite to not drink it at all than chance spewing it across the kitchen table. -
Do not get a duster. My brother got one recently. I've been in it. I even brought it around the lanes for a test drive. I was surprised by both its significant understeer and poor ground clearance. As a result we are not currently speaking. Lifting it out of the ditch with the telehandler may not have helped. Parts are cheap though.

I have the same 2511 since 2017-18. It's had a couple of recoils but that's partly because i sometimes overdo it on the pull. Needed a clutch assy a year or two back but its never given me any trouble starting or cutting out as some people have experienced. To be honest it isn't used daily but it is used weekly and lives in the jeep, so exposed to a bit of dirt and moisture. Mines still standard because I'm boring so I can't speak on how they take mods and I've never had a 150 so can only compare to my own saws.192(shit saw) and a 200t which I rarely use at all now, going from the 2511 to either the echo 501 (solid saw. Reliable but under powered) husky 550 (great when it runs right but often gives trouble) or stihl 261 (was my go to of the three but hasn't been behaving lately) In short, I would recommend a 2511 in small wood but if you're regularly cutting above 10 or 12 inches go bigger.

Polish are the same, weak tea and more often than not only uht milk too. The food usually makes up for it though! -

Had a customer bring out home made kombucha once. I never went back. -
If you're not wanting to spend a lot and looks don't matter, just sprayfoam the lot. Won't do the metal any good but should be OK for long enough. Any other option is more time and money for the same end result. The only thing about that foam is the smell lingers so the store will have to air out for a few days before restocking.

Beech hedge doing the same here at home, a serious spurt of growth too, not just a leaf or two but 8 to 10 inches of growth here and there. Never seen beech so vigorous. Not going to do them any good when the frost arrives.

Forks and standard bucket came with the deal. I added a fingerbar, flail, grab bucket and yard scraper then converted the auger and log grab off the 3 ton to fit. Next items will probably be box rotator and root baller. 4 in 1 bucket would be on the list too and some sort of man basket for hedge trimming. (Not that there's anything wrong with the ibc frame)

Is diesel getting to the injectors? Worth cracking the fuel lines at the injector and checking, could be a blockage in the tank, lines or fuel filter.

Not if you take the bottom half first

Looks good. Hope the new venture works out well for ya.

Starter solenoid sticking? I've had a couple go on the blink for a while before packing up completely.

No idea of the build cost but it was on the market at 6.8m canadian dollars a couple of years back. It's one of those "if I had the money" projects alright! A man can dream though.

this is what you need!

Thank you. That goes on the "to buy" list.
