Hello from South Wales,

I'll be honest and say I am primarily here for two things firstly looking for a Powerfab type digger and secondly (once found) info on it's upkeep.

I've had a look around and seems you lot are a friendly bunch so hopefully I'll get into some good chats on here.

Once upon a time I worked as an agricultural mechanic and was even qualified but have forgotten almost all I once knew.

Cheers,

Po79.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Looks like the mere mention of towable diggers gets everyone excited!

they're all jealous :giggle: .... and in awe of the mighty Micron ...... pretty amazing what you can get done with one to be honest .... has shifted some stuff over the years and seriously beats the hell out of a 1 RB .... must be good ... Rory's been chasing after it for a long time, trouble is his arms're too short to reach the bottom of his pockets....... where his wallet cowers in fear of being opened :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Ok out of fascination what are they actually like to use?
it's actually very good LL .... takes 3 blokes and more, on barrows to keep up with it. Has saved me a LOT of work over the years :):cool:
they actually have a quite a following, are well sought after / thought of and are hard to find ... there are a couple of web pages/owners clubs, type things for them ... POP to maintain and dig like hell :giggle:
unusually there's actually one on fleabay ATM with an asking about 500 quid short of what they usually make ... needs a good tidy though
all bushes are 25 MDPE, pins're 1" and all the rams interchange
got the towing wheels (5.00 x 10s) and tow bar attachment for mine and've towed it about a fair bit


doubt it'll be on there long :rolleyes:
