I used to use the lugs provided in front of the track motors. One ratchet would go from the blade towards the rear of the trailer and the other would oppose it pulling from the lug by the track motor and go towards the front of the trailer. 2 straps each side If that makes sense! Will never move that way

It’s only gone two miles down the road from me, easiest thing over ever sold tbf! Infact it wasn’t even for Sale..Wish it was a year or two later it might have come north . Minter
could have done without the hassle of selling and buying a new machine at the moment!

Nice easy one today, mate wants to sell his house so had to do something about the front 'drive'. Had massive puddle against thr the path in wet weather. Pulled a trench, took a trailer load of soil out, carefully tore up the top surface, couple of ton of gravel in the trench and top dressed with a ton of soil. Real improvement.
Couldn't get a lorry to it so landed the bags on pallets and trucked them 50 yards down to it.
Rare outing for the milwaukee power broom, swept up way more mess than we created so hopefully the neighbours will be appreciative

No, it's made the place look so much better for a few minutes work. It's a real improvement in a 3rd of the time a broom would take to just clear up the little bit of mess we made

Managed to get some good topsoil
Job was across road from quarry 
Pissing down tomorrow so happy to get out.
Sany getting proactive - come down dig holes try them out - 5y warranty - they dont appear to do a tab 6t but even if they did.
That was 21k€ + vat with geith hitch and 3 buckets apparently.

Dropped these 2 off for hire this morning, guy wasn't there but I've been there before so no worries.
Hour later I get a call- bucket won't come off, I think the top pins kinked! Headed over there, stuck a half inch extension bar as a drift on the pin, one whack with a hammer and it was half out. Changed the bucket for him, checked all the pins, no problems
Chatting to him as I was working and he reckons he's only had a machine without a quick hitch once before, 5 years ago.
Hadn't occurred to me that it would be a problem but I suppose it's quite unusual even on a micro now. Left him happy enough, he offered to pay me for coming out, I should probably have said yes as there was nothing wrong with the machine but a bit of good will never hurts.
Got back to the barn and delivered a few buckets of muck before it started raining
