our current fun job is trying to make this safe, its a historic national monument an adit from an old lead mine, basically the drain where they chucked all the tailings out, but water been washing the base away for god knows how long so we are trying to sort it as usually with no budget either. told them it could be 250k + but we've got 20k to bandaid it

everything via 1m wide footpath

the dx10 has impressed with picking some monster stones up (yes I help with my bulk as counter weight lol) some sketchy getting them in to the dumper only just. the jb grab doing good but foot pedal takes a bit of getting used to as open is near me so keep resting my foot on it and opening which is safer when swinging 300-500kg lumps

the two biggest lumps took a few goes and had to have them right in close and dumper tipped up but got them in

using 1.6 ton to place them with finger grapple but got a head for the Kubota for the jb but unless I bring 3 or 5 at top to load need the jb on the micro loading at the top

Versatile are doing hire on the small Bobcat tracked skids. Could just leave a bloke on that all day.

making it work with what we've got doubt it'd be much quicker with an expensive rented loader

Repairing the stonework each side of it, there’s a more accessible bit other side the road this really is only a drain culvert. No actually clear entrance way etc

Trying to work out how to get the 5 ton in for more reach and safety

Nice job in nice location

 

[doobin]

Working half a mile apart today. Different contracts but just a few hundred metres of woods inbetween.

Digger kept having a hunt for diesel every so often again despite new filters ...is there likely to be a filter in this banjo setup ?

 

[DaveDCB]

By filter do you mean a plastic plug….?

Some do, some don’t. Undo it and have a look. You haven’t missed an in-line filter, have you, or the pick up strainer in the tank?

 

[Furniss]

Not missed a filter but will check the banjo and if not the strainer, run it really low the other day.
