    Now this would be the way to do firewood.

    ... thats what she said?

    Hell of a lot of hydraulics in some of these machines, guessing they are mostly electronically controlled too? Imagine it would be a nightmare trying to control that many different rams without electrickery syncing them up a bit.

    This thing here has got to be the worst thing I have driven on the road, top heavy piece of shit. Not so bad when empty, but when you get 14 ton of grain sitting in that bin Slid down the jollys pass in it one day in the snow Still hate it everytime I see it getting around.

    this is a picture, of a picture, of our old sk60 kobelco being lifted over a house. looks battered but done the job and served us well, this was when it had rubber tracks (peeled off like no ones business with the work we do)

    Yeah, the rubber tracks do not like broken up concrete and shit. Ripped a few up on the road too. We had a we 700kg kobelco digger that we used to fly into fiordland and other spots by helicopter doing track work, spent heaps of time triying to get it back on its tracks.

    Anybody on here know much about 1980 mercedes bus brakes?? Fucking park brake will not release, got heaps of air pressure, when I release it it just dumps air out of the valve up front and stays locked on, strange sort of a setup.
