video links thread anyone??

so're you advocating wearing out the back of a ditcher/grader bucket ... he's squeezing the shite/ slop/water in front of it, not just grading it ... length of tube's a damned sight cheaper than a new bucket / back to replace .. did you watch it right through?

Even if you are rubbing the arse of the bucket you're not gonna rub the arse out of it with slop are you. The whole arse of bucket rubbing thing is kinda amusing tbh when you think about it. Grading beam relies on big flat plate to rub along the ground to leave a finish (hows that different). Some of the big tilty stars on social media spin scandi graders round and drag them backwards towards machine to grade (again how's it different). Btw I've never had to re arse a ditching bucket but neither am i saying i never do it or that ditching bucket lasts forever.

and we think we're clever/cool at shifting things about

Can you imagine trying to get it past health and safety now that all the employees are to carry on as normal whilst the building is moved. Pretty impressive.

After working in slop, mainly.

Posted the first of this to videos earlier in the thread, so here is the follow up, the first video you find at the bottom

Not sure how it would work over here with the axles weights and all that but still a great idea if you ask me add a tray on the front to carry a couple of buckets and chain saws and hand tools maybe some sighs and cones and would have a nice little one man set up

robotplant (John Rowbotham) had a similar set up without the cost of the digger .. hiab type arm on the back of the JD - chipper hung on the back and all op from the traccy cab
that Eurocomach is not going to be a cheap machine for doing that with and God knows what the rest'd cost to put together ? @Monkeybusiness ???

 

[tinydigger]

yeah have seen a few sets up like robotplant had around here in Thetford forest. I liked the idea of that set up as can use the digger to pull the brash from round the site and also dig the stumps out with the same machine and is a all in one unit saves on a 2nd trailer. I could never afford to run buy a set up like that but would defiantly be a a different set up for around here maybe with a unimog on the front with a chip box all in one set up

I’m always surprise that this isn’t the usual way these are built tbh - a big timber crane mounted on one of these trailed chippers can be a £40k (plus!) option so you are most of the way into a 5 tonne digger which is way more useful (and easier to see the chipper feed than from in the tractor).
We’ve had a couple of big tractor-powered chippers on site recently and the crane is such a one-trick-pony really. They are all big-money setups (£250k plus with tractor).

12/10 for ingenuity

did notice that one after the lathe, but thought I'd come back to it .... interesting though .... it's the way i've always used thin discs ... last way longer than hacking into stuff ... interesting by just how much though 10 x

 

[Lancs Lad]

Watch all his stuff.

Actually quite interesting

Actually quite interesting

used to get into quite a decent sized foundry locally with me cranes -- Bawns of Aberbeeg .... much bigger operation than in the vid and'd been around a long time ... but not as long as that vid. .... Derek sold the site to Tescos and that was the end of Bawn Bros foundry ... his bro used to run Blackwood Engineering, which dealt with any machining required, plus outside work .. must both be in their 80s now ... Last I saw of Derek he was dabbling in property with the funds his site dropped in his pocket ... was a big site

No idea how efficient this is, but certainly looks and sounds good:
