Druidic Dabblings and General Twaddle !!

Won't go wrong with that...got one at work.
There's me thinking you wanted a cheap one

ordinarily I'd go for VFM .. .. but in this case it's worth paying for reliability ....... totally PO-ed the other night, doing an email to Hydrema, with all the part numbers, etc. and having it disappear three times, when the leccy went off .... did it in Word in the end and copy/pasted it ... Sooner or later, the power outages are gonna kill old faithful though
thanks for your help and the confirmation I made the right decision

We have an Eaton modular UPS at work with maintenance bypass and everything. Chunky old thing but does the job!

Prob stating the obvious but make sure you put your router on it as well.

yeh had thought of that one ... PITA to do ... on the other side of the room, so SWMBO'll love having a cable round the skirting ...
either have to find a longer cable from the phone socket to router, or run a mains lead round to where the router is ATM, or .....
run a phone extension lead round and plug the ADSL filter into the end of that .. if that'd work ??? ... thoughts guys?

What oil did the stone cropper run as tractor hydraulic oil is from back axel and is not a normal oil ?

 

[Lancs Lad]

Don't extend the adsl/phone line you want that the short as possible. Yeah might be a pig but mains ext is best. Not vital but will keep you online and protect router .

Yeh I know ... EP80 ..... it (the cropper) had to have it waited long enough for it and no power pack arrived with it - so!! .... all the oils in the Zetor'll get changed shortly, 'fore it goes anywhere again ... brakes are dry shoes in it, so not an issue ......... an' they'm bomb proof old girls anyway

here's a useful pic .... just found it on somebody's shipping container ad .. guess where

Never realised the 20,s carry less than the forties, weight wise

one way boxes ... a grand a piece for 20 footers is not dear 1800 quid's average for forties .... but these are bloody nice

" Dry Container : 20ft and 40ft and 45ft Price ,
20ft : £1000/ piece Price ,
40ft : £1800 / piece Price ,
45ft : £2200/ piece Price ,

refrigerated container Type: 20ft and 40ft Price:
20ft : £1500 / piece Price:
40ft : £2000 / piece Price ,

These are new (one way) containers we have a supplier based in China that sends stock here and they are looking to sell the containers afterwards. "
sadly all plus VAT

Speaking to someone this morning, who I`d gave a price to transport some containers for, and mentioned these, he was saying apparently the is a scam going round with one trip shipping containers, (facebook I think). Someone who works for him had bought and paid (bacs) for two 20`s to be delivered, No containers showed up and cant get in touch with the seller, contacted the police who couldn't help, but said they are reports of the same from all around the country, and that he should of paid by credit card, to claim off them.
I`ve got no idea whether this seller is genuine or not, just putting it out there, to let people know, to be careful before parting with their hard earned.
The chap who had been scammed had paid slightly less than these, so may be a different seller.
I suppose its the old saying, too good to be true.

closer to you than me Dyl ... was hoping for Whitchurch, Ross ..... 's gotta be nicked

I've got one I bought off SteStu on CEF ... ages ago .... problem is it's buried at the back end of me box with the two level racking and it's on the upper roller trays, which means extracting 4 other trays to get at it ........ an' it's just toooooooooo 'kin wet ATM, to go pulling it all out ..... Zetor's doing the job a treat

on a little over tickover

got rained off at noon though ........ biblical downpours again ... forecast as scattered light showers ... had another hour 'bout 5 , before tea and then parked it up for the night after i'd chucked it all in a bag ..... not a bad lil' cropper .... does most i've shown to it so far ...... with the odd grunt on really big stuff

 

[diggerjones]

I thought it was cheap. Them croppers look good

 

[Cyberprog]

Probably easier than using the power pack.

Before you know it, you'll have that splitter on a 3-point linkage!

Plug it into the drema it'll not struggle. I stopped using my log splitter on tractor and went over to plugging into digger. Lot higher pressure hydraulics. Didn't end well for the splitter mind

I'd like to protest here and now that every other fucker gets a mention in this thread when it comes to helpful ideas except me

yeh it works well Dylan ....... if I thought i'd ever need to be using one again I'd have it measure up by now ...
those breaker packs are usually a LOT more than that

slight issue with doing that ........ called Plantohyd bio oil ...... in't 'Drema ... can not be arsed to purge the splitter and lines, for what i want it for .... plus me thinks 320 bar may be a bit more than yon splitter/cropper could handle .... summat'd have to give

Much ...... said splitter's staying as is .... on its draw bar and legs ..... but could do with being about 18" further off the deck ..... 's a back killer ..... few more bags and i'll be finished

only splitter going on the 3 point'll be of the log variety

I'd like to protest here and now that every other fucker gets a mention in this thread when it comes to helpful ideas except me

well I'll cure that now ..... was your suggestion to run it off the Zetor, the other day, mate .... and a great one it was ........ was a first, but good all the same
