The 'Today's Job' thread

[Storrsy]

I spent half of yesterday on the same machine as BIL had pinched the 360. Actually had a great time and started to feel some affinity for it. He keeps trying to sell it to me. Would make a good all-rounder for the farm I agree. Here is a another sexy shot for @Storrsy (not me driving - nothing is that level with me on it!) It did 9 days hard graft last week. Several 10 hour days running at full throttle raking and rolling the clay I was digging out with the 15t. Just about kept up with it. Lovely turbo whistle on it! Drank 150l a day in those conditions.

How heavy is it with dumper and crane?

 

[Stroppymonkey]

What's he looking for it?

Think he started at 27.5K last year. Prob what he paid for it + new set of buckets in 2020. Obv not sold it at that price. Horn doesn't work though so that has gotta be worth a substantial discount!

How heavy is it with dumper and crane?

Dumper is 970kg. Never got around to weighing trailer build. On paper its sub 2000kg but unverified. Bags were well filled. Prob 900+kg Made the trailer grunt. Dumper needs greedy boards as even with a full dumpy in it is still very stable. Found it would only fit 75% of a dumpy in the skip, but if you cut the bottom of dumpy and let 50% out, and then park the other half on top it makes a poor mans greedy board. That is my only complaint so far with the dumper - its power to skip ratio is off. Greedy boards on the list of things to make.

Water pump on the other half's new to her van, nearly 90,000 on the clock and the motor trade wonder why we don't trust them

[Cal919]

What are you building there?

Its temporary propping for a pool. The pool build on this site has been a s**t show from start to finish, luckily nothing to do with us all direct to client.

 

[Canal Navvy]

That looks structurally "interesting"

 

[Cal919]

Just a chain mistakes, the whole thing could of been alot simpler if it had been done correctly from day dot.

Are those walls really doing weird things or is it the pictures?
