New washer today . This is great it’s got one switch that does on/off and hot or cold simple as that . No fancy plastic moulded parts , circuit boards and fiddley bits . The fuel tank is a 20 L plastic can which made me smile when I opened the lid but why not it’s works well and we can have a spare can full ready and just swap them when it needs a refill .

You've not bought one of those fuel burning devices!
You were questioning me on carbon burnt for cattle.I was impressed with your feed ring!
I think you have me confused with someone else, never used ring feeders for cattleand certainly have never criticised anyone for carbon usage ( unless I have posted after a big night out )You've not bought one of those fuel burning devices!

I bought a one almost the same 2 yrs ago, ours is the biggest single phase version.
Its been fantastic, a drum for diesel and same for detergent.
Occasionally I would like it to do warm water, and the Nixon is either cold or hot, but I knew that when I bought it.
The one before could do any temp but it was alwas broken.
Only bother ours has had, is its burnt out two burner control boxes, last time Nixon couldn't supply so I ended up with one off internet from Spain, half the price though!!
I have sussed that if you stick it on hot before the water supply is constant it will bang the burner on off on off and the box dies. That said its easy to "hot wire" so I have never been without hot washing.
I'm told the new ones have a different control box now.

Had it been a new machine I would have been a bit upset, but at 3000 hours unfortunately you do expect a small bit of aggravation!

Yes very useful, but still there is a long thin canister hydraulic filter under the cab that is a nightmare to change if it's the same layout as mine. Great machines though

Does your machine have a green decompression button? Mine doesn’t and changing 3rd service pipes can be a bit of a challenge despite turning the machine off and ignition back on and flicking the 3rd service on the joystick.

Mine has button in cab and outside boom works whilst running you can hear the oil hiss miles better than the Jcb before

It does but it's yellow and in the cab next to the soft ride switch . I think later ones have it on the end of the boom .It makes changing pipes a doddle , but if the muck grab is left out in the sun it usually requires a nut slackening off grab side as the decompression button can only work handler side . I wouldn't change from flat face couplers as it's so much cleaner but it does mean a spanner is needed is the implement is pressurized where as with the nipple type ones usually you can just tap the end of the connector on something hard to resolve the issue , obviously after doing a full health and saftey assement and wearing full PPE
