The 'Today's Job' thread

To be fair I'm 50/50 with it, I like to be able to pull the floor mats out every now and again but the jcb one is very thick in places plus seems glued to floor in front of the door. The other 2.5t machines i've been in have all had the mat fairly easy to pull out

Thing is rubber floor mat can be swept when dry but grass is gonna be to take out all the time as it'll just fill with sh*t and you can't sweep it.

My carpet got a pasting in today’s wet weather , must remember not to leave the cab next time it rains

Yeah, I'm going to see how long this lasts but won't be doing a second

What does that quaint looking third pedal on the floor do?

Think it was over 1k option to get it up on the levers but was a few months wait whereas this machine was just about to come off the line, although considering it took best part of 4 months for the hitch and buckets to arrive probably wouldn't have been much in the wait time

Check out Instagram as your obviously doing it wrong.
There shouldn't be any mud on the floor and the artificial grass is to squidge your bare toes into.
Although not sure where you put your Crocs in a mini when operating ??

You hang them on the rear view mirror

Every time I'm on a cabbed machine within an hour it looks like someone has just opened the door and thrown a bucket of mud in

Tiltrotators.... Pfft

 

[Furniss]

Bloody hell, at least on a Bobcat you don't have to look like you're trying to suck your own knob just to adjust the cab temperature!

Nah. All the boys in the 8026 club suck each others knobs apparantly im sticking to my kubotas

And who knows what privileges Brendan gets for having a lawn in his

But then your Crocs will smell of woodland Glade air freshener and might damage the fluffy dice

 

[V8Druid]

surely you just stick 'em on the travel levers and massage yer socked trotters with the dimples on those natty little pedals

Brought back memories of the doosan

Fitter has been today needed around 5mm taking off the side of the bolt holes and rethreaded the two borked ones and ran the though the others to check.

All being well should be good to go, for stuff lined up for it next week but in the meantime planning on tinting the windows and today made a mat out of an off cut of artificial grass, thought it might be easier than having to pull the thick rubber mat but was an absolute pain in the backside to do and isn't 100% perfect, so will see if it's worthwhile keeping or not

Feels like my size 14 steel toe boots would destroy those heater controls while operating the pedals

As the grass mat wasn't really liked, how about some tints

Again not perfect but tinting is a lot harder than it looks

Kinda looks like it's made by Britains now

Worse than the grass
Still as the saying goes you can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter

To be fair if takeuchi made a decent 2.5t machine I would have had a look at one

 

[Brendan]

Ifor

What size and model ifor is that?

Ifor Williams Gh1054 but having looked at it closer just now it's the 1.45m skid version rather than the 1.2m skid version which has the highest payload which I wanted. Everything I buy brings me nothing but issues

If you wanted a 1.2 wide one then you oreded the wrong one. Gh1054 translates as 10ft long by 5ft4in wide.
