He’d got it off the wagon when one of our guys noted this top bit of slinging.

Along the way he decided to play conkers and managed to damage two welfare units with one lift, as well as overloading his Hiab and needing ten phone calls to his yard to sort out how to reset. At one point his front legs were nearly three feet off the ground. Company are replacing both units FOC but this guy won’t be doing the swap. Honestly, it looked like they’d sent out some one on his first day with no training or idea. I said his load security wasn’t very but he couldn’t see anything wrong. I suggested he tries that with the ministry when he gets pulled.

Bugger…. My neighbour has just come to pick up the KX and noticed one of the tracks has split. I am very embarrassed that I didn’t spot it myself :-(
Dropped a track last week and didn’t think too much of it, BIL gave me a hand and put it back on and we didn’t notice then . Borrowing stuff is always flirting with risk.
New pair of tracks for a KX61-3 gotta be £1000 minimum I should have thought ? Genuine worth it or is there a OEM that’s worth considering?
I’ll be chipping in towards it .

I use Camso from digbits. Really good tracks IMO. I'm on rough granite all and have managed to get 2000hrs out of a set so far, probably could do with new ones shortly though

Ta. These are 300x52.5x80 and the machine has 300x53x80. Track specs are a new topic for me . LS say the KX61-3 has 53 pitch (53.5 on the KX71-3) yet most other sites selling the 52.5 pitch for KX61-3.
Will see what Vincent’s say in the morning 😞
Thanks for link :). School day today
See what it says on the old tracks.

Think I’ve got an old one on the yard you can have for nothing if you fancy picking it up.
