I don’t think they can - we had a new stop tap fitted as the old one was farked and I was expecting to have a fight/argument over it. However, they didn’t insist on installing a meter, just updated what was already there.
(This was UU last year fyi).
That's helpful. Ta.
Surprising how little of a trickle can create a decent puddle etc 🙃

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Brother in Law has borrowed my E10. He’s got cross with the modulation on the pedal for the AuX - running the Tilt Scandi bucket so has made a removable modification 🤣
I tend to run on lower revs, and have got used to only using the tilt whilst using another hydraulic function so that it’s nice and calm. I need to repipe the bucket a bit so maybe this is my cue to add a flow restrictor 🤣
someone on the old CF (John Rowbotham -Robotplant - I think) ... created an arm for the right foot pedal on summat that he used with his leg, just below the knee - had a U shaped top to it to insert the leg into and gave great control over the pedal - also didn't need to be juggling his foot about either ... was considering creating one for Lil' jake (and also need to sort the pedal's plumbing to 2 way too :rolleyes:

Big tidy up at the church, and a very rare outing for the Sherpa.

Guessing he is using his hand (But he is Cornish so might have his boot off and using foot as a hand? He is making paths somewhere so probably just using tilt to get level right, so no needing continual input? Must be 2.5 years since I bought the TiltScandi, and the original grading bucket hasn't been out of the container since. Such a good tool and perfect size for the E10 I have been very happy with it for the £450? odd that I paid for it.
Does reduce dumpover height a little though :-(
I do need to sort that restrictor - I need to order a bango fitting for the bucket so will buy one then.

still tryin to be a builder at home getting extension finished all the fun of knock throughs, flooring and patios but also gotta be out doing some real work

back at a riding school we built in 2017 trying out the new v bucket

clients selling the 2.6m farm house and 6 acres and covering a big barn into a new place, we converted another barn into lovely holiday let for them in 2017 and was all connected to a 25 person septic system

so now we need to install another 25 person treatment plant, another 10k litre rain water harvester there is one already so we need to link them, then there's is an old concrete tank we are using as a sump for top water de sludging. this will now become another rain water harvester for yard wash off we'll stick a mod wall in it and then can be sucked out like a septic

also got to put another lpg tank in and all the ducting etc

tricky bit is the foul runs in the opposite direction to where the new tank is going so going to have to dig up the tarmac yard (try hide it in a bigger cobble flower bed) and turn inspection chamber and split the yard and holiday let from the existing septic and pick up the new house oh and a new access track in a field and a parking area for the tipping trailer they use for horse muck with a raised tipping area so barrows can be tipped into it with sides up

fun job
