Mcnaught do pumps to fit in standard 20l drums and they are brilliant. They also do a metering gun that would fit on those pressure vessels

I've got one here, but almost pointless in setting it up for the amount I use these days .....
was very handy in work for the amount of plant oil changes we used to keep up with and was invaluable when we used to do commercial and bus servicing, to be able to meter what was dispensed

Stockboard working well, thanks @Monkeybusiness
Very little grass damage.View attachment 32964
So much more efficient than loading a dumper. View attachment 32965

What thickness did you go for?
I've got some plastic boards on hire at the moment but they are heavier than 18mm ply.

I was quoted daft money for GroundGuards from Actavo- £175 ex vat! £12 per week to hire.

These stockboards are 12mm. £60 ex vat each. Got a dozen, ordered half a dozen more, prices will be bound to rise soon.

 

[Russell]

Not bad, I just paid £62 Inc for the ply. Plastic boards were £10 from speedy.

Nearly finished crushing. Little crusher has to be hand fed but on jobs like this with crap access it saves a lot of money.

Wouldn’t be without my tilt hitch for stuff like this. Just scraping up the old type 1 and rocky stuff, it can go under the decking and the planned flowerbed will have a fighting chance

Trying to make something respectable for local pub carpark - pub been shut a year or two - new owners trying to get it up and running on a budget, got 80t of scalpings dropped from local lad who works for motorway company, as we've discussed before on here I dont think scalpings are what they were but will give them something tidy for the opening next month and he will look to get it tarmac in due course.
Free beer and wine for a year

Certainly missed mine today

Easier than the wheel barrow.

Yeah they are pretty good - nice and fine just the odd lump or 2 that you miss as it goes down makes a bump when you roll it ..... it is what it is, he wasn't promised anything outstanding so I think it's exceeding expectations

How many m3?

 

[Maxus]

Easier than the wheel barrow.

That's cheating!

 

[TiltyShaun]

Only 5.5m3. But rather than get a couple of mates to “help” paid the £300 happily!!
