Having sat exactly where it was unloaded 2 months ago the above mentioned tractor is now for sale…make an offer if anyone wants it or it’s off to the eBay muppet market on Monday!

It’s a Chinese copy of a sany

Tbf it’ll probably look similar after a few hires!

I’m guessing the old tractor hasn’t got a v5?

Nope, I think it’s got a key and four wheels….and that’s about as much as I know about it

My mates SANY 1.8 ton arrived and I have to say it's nice to use however we have been having a few issues with the breaker we think it's low flow from the pump as if you use any other service at the same time it slows down SANY are coming out to check it next week so we will see

‘ characteristic of the machine’ is usually the answer in such circumstances

I hope not he got a brand new SOCO MEC breaker and I don't think there is anything wrong with that

smaller breaker/lower flow unit required

if the pump flow rate is X and the breaker requires 2X, 'tain't gonna work ..... let alone flow share

The breaker came from SANY as the right one for the machine so hopefully they will sort whatever the issue is

you would hope so .... but .... you know what these reps're like .. tell you anything for a sale

Why would you need to use other services to such an extent as to matter. Other than a half second flick of the boom down occasionally, I stop the breaker for any movements save dry firing it.

 

[heritage machining]

I know I have to admit I find it's fine for me as I'm maybe a little more gentle on machines than him as I am used to older machinery and I fix it myself so I don't want to break anything I think he is trying to boom down at the same time as using the breaker whereas I lift the machine first slightly with the boom then operate the breaker

 

[DaveDCB]

He’s probably being slightly fussy if he’s bothered that for a split second his breaker drops off while he booms down! Unless he’s lifting the machine 2ft of the ground which is just bad practice.!

Time to bring this one back to life….
Any reports on how it is going @Lee ?
