    The Pallet Business

    Use to shred a lot of unrepairable pallets that chep would bring to us, 3 to 4 lorries a week and because you could see them from the road people would always be in trying to have them back. Most of the time when you told them they came from chep for recycling they'd leave or they would, once...

    Car lift for clutch replacement

    Bought this because we don't have enough room in the workshop for a fixed. Big mistake. Can't get to not lift and lean over by about 80mm top to bottom. Cars as far back as I can get it, anyone got one or similar

    What % of people call back? Global Poll

    Having a big problems with anyone ringing or emailing back. Had parts we need sat waiting to be picked up for weeks because when you ring up they say someone will get back to you or not in yet, but when you go in to get something else, get told its been sat there. Latest one is roller shutter...

    New toy day

    No just the one, if I told you how many bales i think it will do, you would think we're crazy. Started a new business last November and it's doing well so why not have shiny things

    New toy day

    Just had a look because never heard of them, your right 10 ton machine which is smallest they do, is 225hp. That's double what say a volvo l45 is for the same size

    New toy day

    Yeah I get it for that job, but I still think a 419 with a good operator would handle most single chopper outfits

    New toy day

    Didn't take it as one, you right that size of shovel has fallen out of fashion. The old 412s and 414s were so popular back in the day, now you look silly clamping with anything less than a 435, don't know why maybe operators aren't as good as they used to be

    New toy day

    Greenwaste shredding, its the only shovel of that size, with that much power to weight of any make, 420 and 419 are to big and heavy to move around with the shredder towed behind. Our 418 only just fits on the lorry and puts us right on the egde of legal for weight. Would love a bigger shovel...

    New toy day

    its the high lift version which is rated at 4.5 ton, but probably closer to 5

    New toy day

    Sat waiting to be pdi'ed, probably won't get it till its on a 24 plate. Not desperate for it. Been an expensive month, new balers sat at another dealer waiting to be picked up. Feb looks like it could be double that again, waiting for them to sharpener there pencil a bit, OK a lot

    Combi baler for 120 hp

    Depreciation and parts, most of which were pickup tines Worked out cost to change is £1.82. 55p sounds better

    Combi baler for 120 hp

    Planning on pulling today's purchase with 125hp, I hope. Handled wrapper towed behind baler fine, although combi is a fare bit heavier. Worked out old setup cost £0.55 per bale & wrap over 12 seasons/28500 bales, think this will cost more.

    New Holland tm165 leaking oil

    It's a compensator valve, strip it apart and see what you find. They're not cheap so worth having a look

    New Holland seat sensor

    14093 is a short in sensor wiring, probably damaged behind seat. Joining the wires wont work because its not an open or closed circuit, its done on change of voltage, think its 3v when off the seat and 9v on but could be the other way round

    Puma 185 Oil flow
