They do look a nice tractor, and there track loaders look the part now as well.

I know a lot of people up that way worked that part of the country for a good while

65 only just a bit heavy then at I think just over 20.

An lgp 65 with ripper would be a lot more

Just been on 6T for a mate for the last week or so, but never really been a fan of the elevated sprocket, just seem to too heavy doing batter work.

Didn’t have a ripper on, just remember that there was about 5 ton of difference between that and and the 6R’s we had from Cheetham Hill.

6R LGP I think was about 25/26, PX 65 about 20/21 but was a long time ago.

D6N with 6-way and narrow tracks, no ripper, just over 17000.

Believe it or not, Ollie, the high tracks have a slightly lower cg than the old 6D’s and E’s because of how the internals are arranged, and the frame weight. Lot of weight low down. When it dries up I’ll try to get some pictures of our N on a batter.

Thanks, it’s very deceiving when your on the angle and your arse is grabbing the seat though....remember doing one at skipton tip when we were lining it, the formation was rock, (an old quarry) and even just going up and down in straight lines, it was surprising just going over a solid bit rather than stuff that had been cast down how much it would spin the back end of blade round. There were a few times when it caught you off guard and slightly lifted one side of the track, was pleased when we started pushing the clay up!!

Aye, rocks, batters and tracks, the unholy trinity. Only time I’ve had a twitchy backside on a batter was when rocks were involved. Not too keen on sand on a.batter either, get steeper than 30 degrees and it’s a royal pain to get tidy.

on the right line is how it's progressing Oll ..... all on his side of the ferker

Yeh, it was pretty steep when you were at the top looking down, slow and steady was the order of the day, Managed to find a few pictures from when pics were taken with a camera you can just see the blade at the top, sort of gives it a bit of scale.

all the excess rock was crushed and screened

once the side formation was done it was lined with just over a metre of clay before a liner was put down followed by a fabric liner which acted like a bit of a cushion to protect the first plastic one from rubbish.
The first plastic liner was seam welded, they would then inject air into the seam to see if there were any leaks

we would only go so far up the batter with the clay, as the it was just easier to come back then the waste was up to level and you weren’t having to push clay all the way up to the top. The trench round the top of the first batter of clay was an anchor trench inwhich the liner would be placed. It was then back filled and compacted with the clay once the liners we in place to stop them moving.

This last picture was taken approximately 2/3 hrs after we opened the cell. Once over the liner, this cell would be tied into the next one to the right of the picture...but still didn’t take long to fill up.

get on CEF Aiden ......... chances are he still has it

I actually got approached to sell these about 18 months ago.... I politely declined..... which could have been a mistake as there has been huge investment in the gas network around here That said I have yet to see a contractor use a pipe pusher

This was a one of the better ones I was on Bri, and only 3 or 4 mile from my house at the time, a brand new, fresh greenfield site, no smells of the landfill or anything.
The first bit of the clay that came out we used as a screening bund, which would then, as the tip came out of the ground would be used to cover it up, cover, again, if I remember, was just over a metre deep.

Once we got the bund done, we would then start to reengineer the clay back into the cell walls and floor. It was lovely gear, however, every now and again we would hit pockets of sand, which would just sink the trucks. Hence why the truck on the left was been loaded from the top. This was separately dig out and used as general cover on the main tip. Think if I remember, we had 8/9 A40’s on.
