Holy crap Jimbo I can't believe that's paint you're removing, you'll have to get yourself a gopro camera it's always interesting to see some videos from somewhere else.

yip its paint. Some waste isn't it?? And that's only 1 bay of 12. But it probly was the worst.
The missus got me a new Samsung camera for chrisrmas, and I bought a we cheap sucker thing to mount it on to windows. Its a handy job. Cheap and cheerful. Lol

Yeah I might have to buy a new one this year my gopro was acting weird and doesn't seem to like cold weather all that much even though it's suppose to be able to handle it.

Hi Jim
Thanks for name
I like the BCE site too but I prefer this one .

Vin

Jim what the story with the jake?

Hello stock. The JS130 belongs to a neighbour I was just moving it for him. I spent an hour or so before loading her stockpilling hardfill with her. Not a bad digger. Found the controls very smooth and a nice big roomy cab. Still would prefere the Hitachi thow.

Hi Jim

i spoke with Nigel, Brian's son today.

I discussed the extension jib and I think I will go for one .
I also enquired about the pallet forks for the excavator . Have you seen or used one of theirs ? I think they would be very useful on site if teleporter unavailable.

Hello vin. Yip that's right Nigel is brians son
I cetainly have vin. I have two sets of pallet toes in the yard here but only one is Scott. The other was made by a local man that does abit of engineering. Scotts gear is all good strong well built stuff. We find with the toes and extension jib the digger gets staying on site long after the foundations are dug. It usely gets to stay on and attend brickies and then set up roof truses.

Hi Jim

i spoke with Nigel again today
I had a bit of a dilemma as I need the jib and forks to fit on my case and my duck and the range on the hitches is different the case is a geith claw but the Hyundai hitch is a Heath Robinson job adapted to pick up a set of dedicated buckets of a Volvo ec130.

I measured up all the buckets as best as I could and went for 385 mm pin centre to pin centre so I hope they fit on both machines

A very valid point .. although with pallet forks and block grabs and volume buckets .. you are soon doing as much running as the telehandler or dumper .. which isnt going to do your running gear much good

No running gear problem for the Duck though

I c what you mean muz. But most our work is private. maybe someone building a new house or an extension to an exsisting house. So we would be working in confined spaces. Im not talking about the digger doing the job of a tele handler on a site of maybe 100 houses, where it would take you half hour to track from one end of site to the other.

In our work were called into clear the site and dig foundations. Then with the block grab we get to stay on to sling blocks into the brickies to build the footains. Then fill the footains and concrete them. Then attend brickies again with blocks and morter. Then stick on your jib and sling up roof trusses. In between times and as the diggers already on site the client will always find some thing for you to do like start digging in services water,electric,telephone,gas etc. By this stage the jobs well underway and we can start doin the sewers and storms and maybe the kerbing. If we hadnt got the jib or block grab our machine would be useless on site after the footains are filled and the client would have to go elsewhere to look for a telehandler.

Aye Jimbo I agree as I said earlier ... as long as you can keep the job and the client to that size
