True but when it’s a machine stuck in a field on a Sunday afternoon that needs moving to a new site for Monday morning it’s worth every penny

I’ll be down to move you on to the next site at the weekend

Tis true but its something you'd need to come across fairly regular to justify, no good spending it just in case.True but when it’s a machine stuck in a field on a Sunday afternoon that needs moving to a new site for Monday morning it’s worth every penny

Must admit it’s something I have done without, I just carry a set of big jump leads and hope I can get my pickup or a dumper close enough to fire up again!

Low loader work to the customers I have it can happen now and again
plus a bit tricky getting my truck near to some of the jobs, don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t spend £1,400 on a booster pack especially now I have two 12v ones that should be able to get a 24v machine going

My brother had a flat battery on his van one night at work after everyone else had left. He jumped it with an 18v drill battery

I once jump started a digger off my car with that when I was snowed in. By the time I buggered about with it my mate was coming up the road with his tractor and snow plough. But then he got stuck and we needed the digger anywayWe have ran some 2.5mm twin and earth between vans before to get one going...
