E10 bucket pin shims?

[Russell]

Is it worth shimming the bucket pin on the end of the dipper? It's just passed 400 hours and I can see a bit of movement side to side.

Well worth it mate but only if you have a quick hitch. Otherwise it’s just another bit of faff every time you change a bucket.

Yeah I've got the rinox qh that came with it.
Have you fitted a suspension seat to any of your machines?
I've just done 280 m of trenching and it's a bit harsh on the lower back.

Yes, it's well worth sticking a shim in as and when you see movement.
