The 'Today's Job' thread

Something a little different. Some cut and collect for a local nature reserve. Tractor fits on tipping trailer which then acts as dumper. Two man team surprisingly efficient, but will also work great as a solo operation.

I would be slapping the man that drives around with the loader in the air like that.... but perhaps that's just me?

You would be surprised how wobbly those little tractors are
It really doesn't take lot with them to become unstable
On bank work the alpine tractors feel far more reassuring

This one is going nowhere. The loader is tiny, and it’s on wide and fairly low profile industrial tyres. Normally we’d take the loader off but today we just nipped out to test the new high tip flail collector.

As it’s a nature reserve we have to watch out for certain plants, and that’s much easier with the bucket out of the way.

The second picture is a Morris leslie bucket with a martin hitch top on it.
And then if there was an accident they would blame the hitch and everyone would have to buy the last cover up

Been away from this site three weeks,blokes lost bucket that came with mc grabbed any that was lying about,crack on,slew over people!
How do you not spot this?really is scary,manager been told but....'needs someone in seat' mind boggles

 

[Grahams]

....'needs someone in seat' mind boggles

I really hate that sort of response. I bet they are all over stubbies for health and safety violations, demanding tickets for everything, but when something could be genuinely dangerous couldn’t care less.

Needs a visit from the stasi

Needs a visit from the stasi

Trouble is the Stasi aren't what they should be. They will be baffled by the obviously superior use of PPE, Paperwork and other such nonsense.

We are fast approaching time for a serious fatal accident involving mobile earthmoving plant on a large UK site.... Infact I think we are seriously overdue.

That's because they have no common sense or ability to think for themselves. Morons.

Different one this week usually big gardens and spread out jobs round here, but not this job- having to take banking away and work from an adjacent track to replace a failed septic system with a compact filter.

All being well new system going in tomorrow...... high water table so strapped to a slab, 7m3 of dry mix going under and round it.

 

[Lynchy]

Big fencing job on.....

What's with the white fabric under the mats?

 

[Furniss]

Compact filter on tight access went in..... muck away and track 300m down the road to another installation.
Next job is 4m3 tank and below is the 8p filter unit that follows it.

And picked up a very cheap plate from a retiring builder... time will tell if its any good, not had a proper look but it has loncin engine and still has stickers on
