I have a simple set of RAMS and plan laminated, in the cab so can show them and they can photo copy if needed
Also got the same in my phone so can email to the customers office if needed

In the woods yesterday, clearing a bit of ground to give water somewhere to disperse. Been having flooding problems recently. Water just gets funnelled down hill then down our lane, trying to give it a bit of relief before it gets to us then going to add a soakaway off lane.

33 years since I was last in Vienna, had a few hours wandering about it, on me way to Budapest - magnificent city ... Hungary in '90 was some culture shock after that

Reclaiming a bit of ground didn’t take a picture of the before but went in with tractor and 9ft flail first that made mince meat of the 20 years of neglect then digger to flail the fence line to make it easier to cut any branches off (need a tree sheer really)

Been busy getting the floor slab on the latest little new build we have on the go.

What flail are you running? Converted tractor hedge cutter?

Yea just a head of a bomford hedge cutter works fairly well I’d like try put a pump on the digger for it tho if I could find room

Remember he's a North-East Scot, he's telling her it's a holiday to Vienna but he's maybe over there pricing work

Same as mine then, it was mega on the 3cx which had a free flow return to tank, rotor would sit spinning freely for ages once it was turned off! Joysticks operated on the seat facing foreword, was a joy to use tbh. Just needed a lock on option for the hammer circuit as the old finger soon ached holding it down!

Mine spins free as I T the lines together with a check valve between them hopefully stops the motor blowing its seals out due to back pressure, my trouble is hydraulic flow but I think the pump is getting tired on the digger tbf with 5500hours on it

cheaper option than a cross line relief valve for sure and works very well

This was the best one, picked that up then slewed round 180 with it across the traffic

That’s what I’m telling the accountant anyway

Poland is the same, seen a school trip walking among moving diggers, a small telehandler driving full pelt up a footpath and people jumping out of the road, not one feck given, made a nice change. Here’s some from poznan in June, diggers right beside us at a pub. How did things in Britain get so soft
