Have you had other problems with it Mike?
Well not really problems per-set. You always expect to have a few issues buying an older machine, when she first arrived home the hitch was super slack so decided on a new hitch which was never coming and never coming for months despite the few weeks lead time that was intemated, the machine sat idle all this time. Did the dipper bushes which was a bit of a struggle but got the new ones in. Then last week did the kingpost bushes which was another struggle but made a huge difference to her. Now it looks like I'm going to be changing the oil cooler 😶

Not too bad then, although a few small things can be worse sometimes. If you need anything picked up from Balgownie give me a shout, I’m going past there on Friday.

We done the king post bushes and pins there on ours was actually not a bad job to do

Cheers for the offer there Jimbo, it's my sisters wedding this weekend so probably won't be able to look at it until it's all settled down a bit 👍

I done my tb016 about 6 years ago and I remember it being alot easier, but then again I did it in a workshop with overhead crane. This time it was a loader I'm my shed with poor lightning 😂.

No worries, I’m up the road every fortnight if you ever need anything picked up.

The boss puts 22 weight in the Hitachi ZX160LC that I'm always on. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing that we get from Federated Cooperatives Limited here in Canada. The Kobelco SK210 uses the Kobelco branded 32 weight synthetic oil.
