Is there a specific brand of bin bag you'd reccomended??

Don’t do what my old man did and put flash band on it, seals it but in summer you end up sticking to it and it all over your car seats.

That thick heat shrink pallet wrap is good, just use heat gun not roofing blow torch

I appreciate the advice, but I can confirm that a bin bag isn't a good solution. However it did make the seat feel more ergonomic

Maybe I've missed something here.... but cant you just buy a new seat?

That was the original plan

Looks a lot like the old 600kg Komatsu diggers.

To be fair it could fill a very small gap in the market if it's 500mm wide ish, probably due to a lack of need but every now and again see a post looking for a yanmar sv05

Anyone know anything about these? Looks a lot like the Jansen MB500.

Think it’s a bit wider than that, Brendan.

Just seen 700mm doesn't look like tracks expand but comes with weird land rake, thumb, thumb with shovels and a weird set of forks that attach to the blade

You’ve been trawling as well. I think Jansen market them as their own machine. Jansen sell two other machines which definitely haven’t been designed by the same people. Shame it isn’t a bit narrower as there’s no advantage over my Kubota for access. A 600mm width on expanders would be a smart move, the amount of times you need a machine that small you don’t need to be paying Yanmar or Kobelco prices, even if you can find one in the UK.

My daughter would love that, upgrade it from 12v to DEWALT 18v it’d fly around lol
