Do you still pay full days when it breaks down an hour into the shift?

Only if your a plant fitter

Yes, the right way... backwards

Na, it's come in for some bits to be sorted on it over Christmas. Slew Motor needs new bolts with correct torque. Diesel Leak on the lift pump, few cosmetic things and a potential leak on one of the drives. But for the £1800 that it cost initially it was cheap enough Wish I'd brought it tbh

job's taken chaps I'm relocating to Devon for the duration ....... wiv me sledge hammer an' drift

any plant man worth his salt doesn’t need a sledgehammer to change a bucket the secret is tip link first

As for going backwards, I was root ripping today and managed to catch the Engcon electrical feed on said stump. Without any tilt or rotate on the ripper I managed to get the offending root out. Put the bucket on and had to backfill the hole and tidy up the embankment it is on. I sat there and as much as I willed the bucket to dance around to do the required job it took my a while to work out I needed to track the digger into different places to do the required job. I was very relieved to find Engcon staff working late so i can get back to normal tomorrow!!

He had to pull the feature on him at the last minute, through fear of ridicule, shame on you all......

Nor would I. Never understood why anyone would use 300mm Chambers but we just do as requested

only allowed to 600mm depth if building regs are needed.

Nice little job this week, Reduce dig to get the levels right around a house and a footing for a wall...

Unusual job for us as the quantity to come out is small, and the job is just big enough for a micro. Little HS400 Hinowa is a utter treat and the self loader is far more than a gimmick.

Muckaway via the only Hiab I'd buy. Triple extension and full remote control
