ex senior ranger so well known, runs a fews bcs tractors etc doing conservation works and has a river of moors money pouring in, trust want me to get involved in peat work so their are more contractors even putting me in touch with favorable finance brokers etc but not something I want to be doing at the moment with young kids. sat on a moorland hours away from a road etc, plus its not just a wide track machine you need support equipment for fuel and stuff to dam up waterways and transport to it etc taking my quad with me each day etc or argot cat
I've had the same down here with the Peatland parnership. They were at one stage going to buy the base machines themselves and get contractors to operate them. Have to attend training courses etc too. In the end although it's quite nice work to be on during the winter months the commitment to it over the next 5 years would mean not being able to fulfill existing customer base.

Got her back to the yard and flipped the ram.

Pipes will be fine which is nice. In the ‘blade straight’ position the clearance is around 12mm. Photo is of ram closed position.

I think I’ll get the tracks fitted and then decide how much to cut off them.

600mm steels on, rams flipped, and Big Aidy also got his portapack and hollow ram
out and fitted me my dipper bush. Top man.

I've taken 20mm off this side and clearance seems good. Got to do the same the other.
