Yellow Star Wheel "Type A"

Huh, I wasn’t dreaming then….

 

[V8Druid]

I thought they were a 40mm square?

hence the IIRC James , but am pretty sure they're 502 will check tomorrow, if it ain't pissing down, blowing a hooley and bitter with it, again ..... been a sh1t day here .... been down to next door's chookies to shut 'em up for the night, earlier and positively brass monkeys out there

I did write 40 originally and thought no .. they're 50 ... will go look tomorrow

Does it really matter that much ffs

well not really and yes & no .... wants to be a decent size axle on a 3ft width .... to avoid bending 'em

40mm rings a bell, as I remember thinking it seemed a bit small and there’d be a limit to the shaft length you’d want if the max size was going to be 40mm square.
I know there was a larger one but hellish expensive. There’s a green waste machine local to me that got a similar star fitted, they are on a much bigger shaft from what the owner told me and I seem to remember him saying they were £15-20 each!

If you are only saving £80 per 8 wheeler I would have thought you would have trouble breaking even by the time you have paid for the screen, fuel on screen and loading machine, operators time, wear and tear, then still having to dispose of the rubbish you have screened out.

its not the saving, its availability of muck aways for mixed crap. The crap thats left goes in a hole.

And it ticks the recycling box, this goes a long way with some clients

Some say ignorance is bliss but with farming, fencing makes good neighbours. So was rather relived to find most of the damage landed my side of the fence rather than on it!!

I wondered where Rory got his new bobcat from!

Genuinely @craig what's happening to that would make a good parts machine.

Someone bought it with a view to get it running again.
It had been used on a self build, developed engine trouble, they took it out and sent it to be refurbed, eventually got it back after numerous problem, they refitted it, but it wouldn`t run, no compression, so just cut their loses.

 

[Russell]

that would be ideal for me. Do you know what it went for ?

Wish I'd known a pal has just gained a 320 with a totally rotted frame but a good engine

No idea sorry.

I think someone may have posted something similar. But I was surprised to find the non electric version working in one of the domes. Had a nice chat with the operator.

Where's that? Eden? Interesting place?
