Project Xerion.

Think you're doing yourself a disservice there Pete. You and that Kev bloke are a fine pair. Pillocks of the community if I may say. The rest of the farming community could learn a lot about the many uses of a cortina van and self assembly holes. Just pray they don't ask about lime spreading.

Lime spreading? Oh, I don’t know anything about that. Baffle ‘em with bull and keep out of the dust.

I thought it was the other way round

 

[Kiwi Pete]

Dust and dirt doesn’t go well with ball and spoon ?? Rockinger would be my choice good enough for hgv anyway

That's what's on my little beast.
I just put a seed bag on it when not in use to keep all the lime and fert out of it, wrap a bit of shock cord around it to hold it on.

 

[R&D]

It is yes, I have a can from Bredal themselves, 3002

Thanks Pete

If your not using the connectors I’d remove them I think, Pete.
And even if you are using some of those lines, it may be best to couple directly and take the quick release out of the equation. Possibly fit a pair of hydraulic spec ball valves (with the handles removed), with a union in between, so that you could disconnect and not loose any oil if you did find yourself taking the body of now n again? I think this would eliminate the swearing when you try to uncouple quick release couplings that heve not been touched in 6 months or so, especially in your environment. And you may get better hydraulic flow too by removing the quick couplers.

So long as access is ok with the body on that's exactly what I would do, no point leaving them on it's just another place for lime dust to work it's way in.
Quick release couplings are also fairly pointless if you only take them off once a year, just use taps like you've said and there will be less flow restriction

 

[cosmagedon]

You can get decent flow QR couplings but I would wrap all fittings and bolts in denso tape, then when you take it off in a year, or even 5 they will still look like new [emoji106][emoji106]

 

[davedb]

Bit of bike inner tube stretched over the quick release fittings would keep them clean be a bit like shrink wrap

Oh hello. Someone has been showing off their big tackle

 

[Vincent]

No harm in showing it off if you have big tackle.

 

[Kevtherev]

Should be spreading peter be ideal demo plot

Police officer looking for number plate !!


“Yes sarg’, it’s here alright, must have sneaked in on some borrowed trade plates, we’ll nab him on the way home”.

But only if the plod car hasn’t been squashed by the xerion, monster truck stylee on the way out of the ring

Some ones at Kenilworth show then

The ones I saw I saw wouldn’t have taken much squashing.
They’d weigh About 6 stone each ringing wet.

Good to see you got there @Cab-over Pete
It looks big in the pictures. But up close it’s something else.

 

[Lukehaynes]

How is for comfort on the road Pete?

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Blimey, you can’t go anywhere in secret can you?!

Nice on the road, bit noddy when you hit a big bump, but goes well.

Thanks for the positive comments, I got loads from customers too which was a relief.

Didn’t see you there @Nick.

I was in charge of QC in the beer tent.
I had a quick chat with Sam at the end though.
