Device for making crop circles?
mad scientist at work
build a flame thrower to dry it out
All these mechanical devices and inventions, yet, I end up last night shovelling the slop out of the bottom by hand.!
Oh well I reckon 2hrs/evening should see it done in a couple of weeks. Should have a six pack by the end. ;-)
Those mini Cx's suck. I use one at one of the sites I do some work at. If it was easier to move my 4 tonne digger there & back I would never use it.
To light, under powered.
Its ok as a powered barrow & thats about it.
I've never used sub 1000kg micro diggers but as you already have it on hand it's got to be a damn side easier working around it's short comings than having to dig all that by hand. If it's that boggy that it's getting stuck get yourself a few sheets of 3/4" ply and work off that - I spent a week on our 1.5tonne machine doing just that last summer due to all the rain.
The Hitachi EX8 died in the hole. RIP.
I'll stick with JCB's from now on.
that doesn't sound good - can't see from the picture but looks new enough to be worth repairing?
If your thinking JCB mini diggers might be well worth talking to local plant fitters and hire companies first - all said basically the same thing when we were looking for a mini digger last spring...avoid them like the plague their just not up to the same standard as their backhoes. There seems to plenty of them being used (and for sale) but I wasn't going to argue with those who work and use on them every day.
