Ok so whites make a piece of crap hitch but imagine endorsing them by actually putting it on a supposedly top brand digger ?!

Isn’t it just for by the supplying dealer? I’m Sure they’ll just come bare stick into the franchise..

Only ever seen whites on the small stuff, most of mine have prob originated from PV Dobsons though.

Kubota small stuff used to use Klac, which was a great system for what it was..

Our local kubota dealer fit klac.

 

[Furniss]

Klac very popular over here in France - whites less so, esp round here

Err, actually I have. And to people fairly high up too. But as you say, its a dealer fit not actually something Kubota UK have much control over. I think the key is educating purchasers that hitches are not equal.
Does the massive amount of slop in it now allow it to rotate further @Furniss ?

Wandering around today trying to find a leak on a nice customers supply. 3 houses and 2 barns and a few historic trough points on a 1/2 mile supply thats over 51 years old (that's when customer moved in). And everything is sopping wet everywhere with surface running water everywhere you look. We are right up on the watershed between Tamar and Torridge. About a wet a part of Devon as you'd like. Only loosing about 40lph so bugger all really but £1000 a year. Managed to rule out most of the buildings by listening to pipes I can find. Need to go back and might be able to dig it up half way along the supply to pop a valve in and try and pin down a location a little more. It runs across 2 roads and 4 properties in its half mile loop so just wacking a new line in isn't an option at this stage. Been hearing about people testing with compressed air when its wet ground. Anyone any experience with this?

don't get too carried away with the pressure though, or you may end up looking for blown joints too

My compressor will only do 6bar. Most mains round here are more than that.
