£170 off Amazon,thought this plasma cutter was going to be junk,but it whipped this old bucket blade off in a couple of minutes.
Had to upgrade the fuse in the 13amp plug though........



To a nail🤣🤣

Correct way is a blue 16 amp plug but you would be much better off with some 15amp fuse wire than a nail, that nail is steel not copper and not a very good conductor so will have a lot of resistance heating up and melting the plug!!!

No responsibilities taken for such bodgering advice…..

I wondered if someone would actually think I would use a nail,...........
no I didn't,
I did use some 15amp fuse wire tho,plug didn't even get warm.

To be fair to the machine it was on its limits cutting the blade.

Had a new to me Volvo this week. Gave up waiting for a new one, as i couldn't get a delivery time or a price from Volvo.

Imported from sweden and changed the very narrow snow tires for something a bit more suited to dairy use.
It's from 2019 and i hope to get many years of trouble free service from it.

Alliance 331 size 500/60-22.5

The are 117 cm tall. You can get them in 600 and 700 also in the same height, but then it gets too wide for some of my tasks.

You can get 420/65r24 from the factory, they are about the same height.

The standard 360/80r20 is about 105 cm tall.
