We’ve run a 828 for the last few years. Engine went pop at 4000hrs, we had already spotted the telltale signs and told our dealer, excessive oil usage, smoky breather as others have said. If you have any suspicions, record everything. We were told by our dealer to record fuel usage, oil usage...

We’ve got very similar stripes in places with the same product and an older Amazone ZAM, I used Thomas Bells setting page aswell as the Amazone app is useless this year for some reason. Usually get a tray test done before spreading but didn’t happen this year. Had SCS out this week and we’ve...

I guess this is why air reels are a thing over the pond. Hopefully not a problem we are regularly going to have here!

Two new jcb diggers last year, both have had to be touched up soon after delivery, one with paint coming off in flakes, absolutely pointless it just rusts next to the touch up instead. Still the salesman boasts about the new state of the art paint facility in the factory🤷‍♂️

No thankfully! Wouldn’t want anything to do with it. Runs about 5 miles from our yard though! We are farmers and run a groundwork’s business aswell

The machine I get the pleasure of operating and calling my own! Steep learning curve the last 6 months with gps and tiltrotator on this one to confuse me!

if you like the machinery/contracting side of things Mr cvx is a good watch. Very knowledgeable and honest about his machines and work https://youtube.com/channel/UC_DpStVYO2Dqlsz53Km38KQ

Bossman reckons it was around £1,000 for the dealer to do it

We had the same on our Js130. Our dealer converted it to double acting so it can be changed. Ended up with two valves beside the cab to change it back to single acting for a breaker. I would take some pics but we’ve since sold her!

Are they working now? They are on my end

No idea I was just wondering that myself, can’t see my own pictures[emoji2369]

Machinery wash down and service earlier in the week now we’re finally done with spring work! Followed by my favourite game of machinery Tetris! And some spraying for my OH’s family as their sprayer decided to take the day off.... this sand land is a bit odd! Im used to heavy clay!

I’ve accidentally forgotten to turn the steering axle on, on our ux3200 a few times. I would not want to run like that constantly! Yes they are short bodied but they still cut in enough to make a mess!

New to us 828 a few weeks ago, replaces my old 818 and a Cat Challenger. Big changes but I’m a happy boy!

@Derky May be able to help, he purchased a tilt hitch for our 13t last year but not sure what he paid.
