You'll have to get gas for that wire I think

 

[Cornish Rattler]

Yeah sorry i meant to say gas wire as will be getting some gas as well

 

[colhonk]

presision wound wire, some cheap ones do not unroll very well.

 

[shumungus]

There is a big difference in wire quality Esab or Novofil Gold would be worth seeking out.

 

[Cornish Rattler]

Ok will look into them

double bale lifter I made to use at home, already had a single bale lifter, used a neighbour's double lifter and fell in love so thought I'd crank the welder up

Lovely work, a credit to you, but I wouldn't like tipping rough stuff out with your dumper door, small opening easily blocked.

 

[Vincent]

I take it off for bigger stuff , I needed it if I went to the quarry as they wont load an open back trailer.

Braced up a stanhay drill today. The red oxide parts weren’t me, not shaming the weld at all it held up after all

Used the farms welder in their workshop. Nothing quite like using your own though!

Clean up

Brace welded in

Under side

Gusset for luck!

And paint

Smart job.
always make me laugh when folk get sniffy off a machine had welding. Top me a job like that is perfectly acceptable.
Then on the other hand you see an old plough point held on with pigeon sh!t across a crack
