Lucked out with a brand new hire roller.

Tarmac gang style today- door off. I tell you what guys, a skidsteer pisses all over an Avant for trimming stone out.

Not today's just, done this week though. Fully hardox bucket to suit a Forum members new machine
If he breaks this he's an animal
Built entirely from Hardox 450, even the hangers are hardox.

Better than a yanmar because ground clearance is better as is the skip design, undercarriage is better guarded too.It's not mine it's a customers, I found it for him as McLean's were selling it. But kinda wish I'd kept it to myself now! Can't really find fault in it tbh

Well it finally had to happen

Had to get this back from the river

Made a road in

Dragged it out

And cut the jib cables to drop it down snipped the jib off at the foot ready to winch onto my trailer

Terminal ?

Terminal ?

Been sat over 30 years

Had a drag bucket on it that will be coming back to my yard as an ornament

It might be brand new, but rolling is still a hateful job.

T450 really made life easy on this one.

That’s a wrap for Friday afternoon, 17:00

I find rolling deeply satisfying myself. Is that a 100 roller. Had one last time and was much nicer on a camber than an 80!

If it's any comfort it's absolutely p*ssing it down here!

It’s a 120, anything less is a waste of time for anything more than a patio.

You need to start filming this, Doob. I had a couple of days on a T86 a couple of weeks ago, with a Dinsdale bucket. The bucket didn’t do the machine any favours so next time it’ll go out with a better one fitted. Unfortunately can’t post pictures of it - yet.

General bucket work I always think Avant don't have enough push.

General bucket work I always think Avant don't have enough push.

I think the larger ones do. But they are just a completely different platform to a skid.

I got in the multione after a day on the skid and I kept trying to pull the teleboom in. Only it was already in! With a skid the bucket is right there a couple of inches past the tracks, and no slop. Soon as you set a grade the tracks follow.

Multione is much better for general work though.

You need to start filming this, Doob.

I often find myself doing something a bit different and thinking ‘some sad fk would watch this on youtube’

Then I consider all the effort required to film and edit and think about something else.

I hardly even take photos on a lot of jobs! It’s all routine to me. Maybe with a camera in the cab and AI doing the editing it could work.
