You can buy individually to suit. I hang the little 600mm ones on a 500mm cone or 2 if it's windy. Handy as have a stack of 500mm cones and a few different signs always in the back of the truck with me

few things here - typical crane that goes up on new builds oer here and a concrete mixer with various a pukka View attachment 69918way of filling hopper - might get it if you zoom

dragline skip loader ... got a winch off one of those sat ... must've had it 40 years .. loathe to bin it - might find a use for it if I did .. good batch mixer - in the right hands

 

[V8Druid]

Got fill in and compacted the bomag 200kg is my new favourite plate, quiet low vibration in handle and good compaction. Got 40 tons of 40mm clean recycled in on conveyors but brought the mot in down the ramps with dumper as easier to spread and grade out without them in the way.

I keep telling my youngest to drop out of Uni and become an electrician / heating engineer .
She keeps moaning about not wanting to be a vet anymore, so I’m using reverse psychology .

Feels like shooting a horse🫣

Poor old faithful. Usual Ford injection pump failure. £1200 for a new one plus fittting equals not worth it sadly.

She was a great bus but couldn’t tow much.

Truck is going to a fella on the Isle of Wight for parts and the body will be sold.

Was it definitely the pump. Lots of cases is the timing solenoid on the pump that fails

Was getting diesel at the injectors but not at enough pressure to start.

Whatever it was its too late now. I can get a second Iveco tipper for 2-3k which will remap to 160hp and be legal towing 3.5t.

Enjoyed this one

Fair transformation

3t kub made a rare outing to load hardcore into dumper.

Into the woods for a track next

That's very timely, someone asked me just the other day to look at their non-starter

 

[William127]

Basically done, just got to go back and tap some holes in the corner post to secure the mesh on the return and run a rake over it. Well pleased with this, never done that type of fence before but got right into the swing of it, and having a 1.5 to hand made life so much easier for clearing trenches and moving piles out the way.
Knocked up a quick fire square with 4 of the most mangled oak sleepers ever, there's a reason they got given to them

Nice job. Doesn't stand out like a sore thumb either.

That Kubota looks pretty damn tidy!

Thanks, I thought that I blends in surprisingly well too, pretty unobtrusive for an 8ft fence
