ah well you'd get bored of a hedonistic lifestyle eventually anyhow

Nope back Dec 3 months will rent a house, looking to buy tuk tuks with my friend

Well.. probably quite a few do die..

They certainly do. One guy had been recently killed on the site I was on out there last year.

And servo controls.

And despite the lack of tech Wacker couldn’t even get down to the Bobcats 710mm- it’s 730 mm.

They’re not even in the same league. A half arsed attempt at a micro.

And today I just found out the E10 does this! Switchable patterns. I need to read the instructions more often!

Bugger - forgot the link

Been busy this week on a little clearance job. Contemplated taking the 9t but the bobcat was the best choice overall I think. Always impresses me with what it’ll lift.

This dead old ash I wasn’t too keen on. So I dropped the one behind it into it and was very happy to see the nasty back branches smash off. Put the strop on, gave it a tug and I thought ‘maybe I can avoid felling it?’ So I repositioned, dug the blade in and over she went.

Struggled like hell in the mist with everything soaking to get a fire going. Was about to give up, then threw a Hail Mary and went and grabbed half a dozen tyres from the service workshop in the old chalk pit behind the job. Still had to baby it for a while but got there in the end.

Got to do another day up there to burn up the stuff in the lower field and drop one more big dead ash. Pushing up against the end of bird nesting though and have other sites to finish. Looking at one tomorrow for the factory I do a lot of work for- they have some fields that they want the boundary tidying up on. More long hours ahead.

You need a drone...

And time to use it….

Just another day in the office. It’s amazing what you can clear with a 2.7t in a day though.

Can't say I've ever noticed on my machines...so I'll be checking tomorrow. New e10 comes Tuesday so I'll be checking that too.

Back when I had the 432 I used to switch it over to sae just to keep my brain stimulated . Tho I learnt on sae with the 428c.

Yeah think my ET20 has it as do my Taks. Thought it was just a standard thing they added for some reason

 

[V8Druid]

early Tachis had a valve to rotate for SAE/ISO

Avoid M6 north of Leyland today anyone up here.
Shut since 11:20pm last night.
Must be a better way surely. Absolutely carnage on the roads.
