Even with this paltry load struggled out the yard onto the road, was better in reverse than forward. Reduced to half loads lol, grading beam grown on me. Gets a good finish quickly.

Micro and dumper winning again, stumps, shed base area and trench all out in an easy morning. Not sure why but I'd built it up in my head that I'd be there till dark!
Need to give the digger a bit of love, new tracks, rebush the end, a quick hitch and some nice matching buckets would be good👍

Thats a good physiological game to play, cos when you’ve thought you'd be out by lunch and it’s getting dark on you its not so much fun :)

Finished off and on our travels, seems,to be a theme these random ditch excursions:) recovery might be a better occupation than digging.

Whos the best at the minute for a s30 hyd hitch, the whites one on my liugong is fecked after less than 400hrs and im thinking of going that way
I have both Steelwrist and Hurricane (@CPS) and so far I'm very happy with either. The Steelwrist came with expander pins and so is super tight, it might also be available off the shelf. Hurricane have a rather long lead time but the hitch is a clever design and even lower build than the Steelwrist despite being on a 3t machine instead of the 2t the Steelwrist is on.

That looks like it will be disappointing. Thin shell = small heatsink = not very powerful. Probably drawing around an amp at 12v when you put it over a multimeter.

Mine are these:


Retail around £50-60 plus VAT. I found an eBAy store selling a load cheap (unbranded). They all have almost unnoticeable chips at the very edge of the glass. I reckon they are seconds, and for £20 plus VAT each I bought all thirty. They draw 2a each and the flood beam is the best I've seen. No striping or chequering.
