[QUOTE="bovrill, post: 4263484, member: 12758"] I had the same up until a couple of years ago, a Poclain, I think mine was a 15 tonner though. The electrics were shot on it, not much more than a wire from the battery to the ignition key and on to the starter motor. So the switch that boosted the tracking speed did nothing. I just used to plan my route carefully, if I was doing a ditch one side of the farm, I'd have a good think about whether there was anything else that might need doing over there! I had an old step-frame trailer on a 5th wheel dolley I'd move it any distance on, but sometimes it was quite pleasant to sit for an hour rumbling along across a field to get to the next ditch! The previous owner to me used to move it on an old style low loader, pulled by a Triple D. Not an easy thing to pull out of a blind gateway with! My main hydraulic pump gave up in the end, and I was told that the secondary pump wouldn't be far behind. Non repairable items, and replacements would be about ten times the diggers value! One hell of a machine up until then though. I sold it to a fellow who thought he had a second hand pump to fit it, but I'm told that it didn't fit in the end! [/QUOTE]
