Looks really nice, should leave a lovely finish on top soil

 

[Shovelhands]

Is that a BMC beam?

 

[fred]

yes BMC made it for me, I kind of ripped off grizzleys desin. the tines are pinned out the way for stoning up and can be dropped down for topsoiling. Really pleased with it.

 

[Komatsu]

Have you used it on soil yet?

Take the laser post out unless you need it, otherwise it’s easy to catch the dipper with it

 

[Shovelhands]

My BMC beam, works well.

good point, its not needed as I have iDig.

I should have patented the tines idea when i made my beam

 

[GazCro]

You must have good soil to use the tines with. Wouldn't be much help when you're trying to bury stones like most soil up my way

 

[Grifferr]

The tines will pull the stones out like a rake.

believe it got mentioned somewhere briefly, but yet to get a full report IIRC @Shovelhands

 

[Furniss]

I for one would be really interested in your thoughts James - lots of shite on social media and brand loyalty but Im sure we could trust to get a sensible unbiased appraisal from you

plus one here .... would really like to know what the rotary actuator's like at side digging .... but TBH can't see it competing that well with rams .... the HPX clamshell I had here a while ago certainly shut with a 'clack' , but IIRC the spec. gave a 3 -ish tonne closing force, between the two rotaries .... wouldn't want yer todger in there though

@Furniss , there’s a bit about it here https://www.planttalk.co.uk/threads/kinshofer-nox.224/
im a bit further down the line with the Nox now, since I updated the above thread, I will have to have a read of what I wrote and see what can be added, either to that thread or possibly some sort of thread of my own?
I have thought about a thread of my own, might start one if some of you are interested? Maybe a general thread about things I do, and the kit? I'm not sure.

Yes deff get a thread going James - I was going to start my own too but there seems like there is a lot of anti EU sentiment about at the moment that puts me off and TBH we work in some fantastic places but the work and equipment is pretty ordinary.

Always good to see different bits of kit doing different jobs (regardless of country!)
