I didn’t know he was filming, think I was in the phone at time and try not to scratch the trailer .

Makes sense quite often I drive the digger with my elbows while on phone

Great machines those Case diggers.pity we don’t have any dealers nearby now.think Warwick ward was the nearest up in Yorkshire.i think Holden dealt direct with Case for a while.

I can just see the outline of Fram tractors dealership logo.
I suppose they supplied it many moons ago.

That would have been ages ago.they were FT Construction when I got my avatar.they went under and another company called APAM took over and they were next to useless,or the boss was.they went wrong and then Hanlonplant took over and I think they were based in Hertfordshire.it was never the same after that

Scraped this out the other day so that the bale trailers can go through with a few more bales on. It was a bit tight with the dipper arm

Just found this pic of our local digger company dredging the drain next to our yard in 2018 .

 

[76masseyman]

Must be a very rare occasion @Bob lincs to be able to photograph some actual dredging being done, instead of just snipping weeds off.

The IDB did a big scheme on this drain in 2018 . They actually narrowed it by by about 20ft by adding the flat bits where the machines are standing then dug it a lot deeper . Where the machines are stood is about 6ft higher than it used to be but this winter that part was submerged , the water now gets higher than we have ever seen so think maybe narrowing it may have caused a problem even though it’s been dug deeper .
