Busy weekend getting loads in ready, access road in and footings pulled. They still need a bottom up but will do that just before concrete. First period of time on a 290-2 and a 230 and they have both shot to top of list in their respective weight classes. Lovely machines!

We've had a shite old time weather wise but forecast was sun so snook to coast with mrs for a couple of days.... it was rather pleasant.
Forecast looks good for next week so can get back to it.

Leaving machines on site over the weekend. Probably going to work tomorrow though.

Ajax system in the e27 and sensors on both machines as you can see by the Jake’s door. Any movement and photos sent to my phone, siren in jack goes off (so they look in the wrong machine)

4g camera on the mast wired in to bobcat, you can see the backup battery at the top of the pole in case they cut the wire.

Both camera and alarm on a multi network sim.

Is grab a log and trap in under blade etc or some way of securing grab other than just machine weight on it

Marmite subject. @doobin and @V8Druid will appreciate. Many won’t.
This very vocal chap has been hanging around the yard office recently. Managed to get a photo and then by dint of social media tracked down a local owner who lost him 10 weeks ago. Now reunited. Not that far away so obviously quite a stoopid cat as he couldn’t find his way home.
Lucky escape as my wife was starting to make eyes at him.

Doesn't look steep but bit of a challenge getting something sensibly flat in to join the levels - all spoil stayed on site to blend levels together.
So far 1 day in the digger and 1/2 day in truck leading 60t in (access too tight for 8 wheeler)
Compact and blind it off tomorrow.

what you gonna do with all that after ??

It’ll just rot down to near enough nothing. Just needed to be over the fence out the way.

I’ve been very impressed with how stable this 86c is even at full reach. It does feel front heavy with the boom and you need to be aware on slopes. But it takes a lot to lift a track even with a full load in the grab.
