I wasnt convinced it saved a labourer for the first few hundred hours....took me a while to become really tidy with it but now im getting there then it deff does save labour, if you have a labourer whos used to following you around with a shovel then they are going to have to re skill to keep their job if only i could find a way to pipe up on my own id be sorted !

Right there, what’s a labourer going to cost you in a year? More than a decent tilty for sure.

Way way more - it’s his wife!!!

Tilty on the 3ton machine for about 5 or 6 years now. Great piece of kit and it has saved me hours of work on the shovel!!

Im in the same boat as lots on here - offered a bloke full time the other day but he just wants here and there as finds it too much full time.
Hell of a job finding someone who wants to put the graft in every week.....maybe they are right

What part of the piping up can’t you do on your own? I know you use different fittings to us?

Back here again. Lovely easy repeat work.

Should be able to squeeze a couple little other jobs in. Trying for £600 for the afternoon and £30 of diesel.

Hung a couple spare extra weights off the little Kubota

They are glued here, been like that forever, I hated it in the beginning and asked suppliers to get seals .....recently you can get it with seals but its silly money, when your joining 4m lengths etc some of it can be as tight as hell and you cant see or feel if the other has gone up or not, you can mark it obviously but if you check and it hasn't then your bollocked.

I guess seals are cheaper than staff but lets be honest its nice to have someone give you a lift now and again, its a chew week in week out on your own.

It’s only temporary until I build the new garage as part of the extension plus it too far from my drive and once extension built be a through the house job as cutting off the access to the garden to maximise space! Something I hate on jobs but something we are going to have to do

Now you are just talking nonsense. - That’s not possible

Found some wonderful drainage today while poking around!
No wonder none of the drains work on this place

That’s a gully bodged into a 20L drum with wavey coil into it!

Serves me right for taking the pee out of mogmans caravan friends smashy window
The joys of hammer work!!

Loading shingle for drainage in a wood, think its going to run OK by the looks
Using the Giant to load the dumper to keep the muddy digger off the gravel worked a treat.

Fecking awkward fencing job at the minute. Always tell myself I'm not doing anymore fencing but seems to end up with the odd job here and there. Love this little postknocker on the 1.8tonner. you could send £60k on a dedicated tracked knocker and it still wouldn't get to awkward strainer posts like this does
