Bender works well

 

[Thomas7740]

Fixing other people’s f*ck ups. Septic tank and pipe work installed with no pea gravel or stone of any sort, which has caused the pipe going to the soak away to burst, and the tank itself is starting to cave in. Also the manhole going into it is seriously back falling away from the tank, and the pipe between manhole and inlet seems to be taped to seal it

This weeks load of fun little micro earning its keep but deffinatly a job suited to a bigger machine rain makes tracking around a pain in the ass would love steel tracks on it but not sure they can be put on a micro its more like trench warfare rather than groundworks

Couple of ground mats and some rope loops can get anywhere with micro even on soupy ground you can’t stand on. But tracks are your best bet this time of year not wheels on dumper
