Small crushers

[DaveDCB]

Only using it here as we had huge pile of as dug rock and rather than get rid we crushed it.

Normally just buy in lovely hard Derbyshire limestone from the 10 quarries nearby

Bet you wish you got rid now

Looks like there's been a lot of shite in with the stone you've crushed by the looks of it.

Didn’t realise you worked for Giles now Gaz? You seem to be able to see more in that stone than Giles can from the seat of the machine!

Love to see some of your work mate, we all get it wrong from time to time, fair play to Giles for posting up a job that didn’t go to plan, it’s created some good discussion and hopefully people will learn from it.

There’s ways to put your point across without potentially offending the man. He’s already lost a days work from it, talk about knocking a man while he’s down!

I don’t think any of us can call ourselves Groundworkers/plant ops if we haven’t had to dig up something we have previously laid before? s**t happens to the best of us, it’s how you fix it what counts

My record was sending around 1000 tonnes of capping back for re-screening. Kept me working three days when the rest of the job was shut down due to heavy rain. Was more like dredging than digging.

None of the limestone dug round here is frost proof, but generally it overlays shale which is. I‘ve levelled that Derbyshire limestone on one job, good stuff.

I was just commenting on what i could see from the pics and the stuff in the pile looked ok but the pic where the wacker is on it looks like its got soily stuff in it. How else do you say it?
There's a temptation when crushing to mix/let a bit of soily stuff through with it, it's why i wouldn't buy crushed in and part of the reason why a lot of folk crushing want to make it 80/100mm down in size as it hides the shitty stuff and it doesn't puddle the same when wet but it doesn't bind well either.
And year at this time of year we're all fighting the weather, it's part of the reason i don't take anyone on as it can force you into doing days at work when you'd be better off not bothering. I don't mind working a weekend to make up for a couple of days knocked on the head due to weather mid week, employees on the other hand..........

Yeah that’s the idea I was doing one load of crushed stone one of soil in the dumper just to make my day go worse! For my biggest client!

I then put a nail in my shoe as well.

Posted it up as a learning experience

Easy to sit back with a smart arse comments on every post yet never post any of your own stuff

Is there a chain or belts from the pto?

Belts, practically all Jaw crushers use belts so when (not if) they jam they don't break things.

Maybe a more constructive comment. Have you tried putting layers of geogrid in. Not always an answer but can help.
I built a turning splay on a flood plain. In the winter. Used standard recycled 6f5 from a skip yard. Horrible stuff that turns to mush at the sight of moisture but cheap full. Usually need to get in capped off with something pretty quick.
As we where building this we put layers of geogrid in. Every night it completely submerged in flood water and pumped out again the next day. Track on it and the top would go mushy but only to the top layer of geogrid. Not a wonder product but can definitely help in the right environment. Especially when you know you will get tramline problems as their isn't enough room to vary where you are running

I like it, I take time to read Ollie's posts cause he's spent alot of time working out pros and cons of various equipment and types of work and put himself out telling others what he thinks. He gets my vote for independent self appointment moderator for this gaggle of HAM

One thing we aren’t short of on here is people telling others what they think. I humbly count myself among that number.

Got this Dragon CR400 on hire for a week.

Feel like it might be a long week judging by the first hour.
