Keep it in the green for working the back actor. 1600 revs ideal speedI presume the green is the working range for digging here, at least that’s what I always took it to be anyway!

They make an awful mess of ground, kind of dig in and pluck out sods , but on paved ground they are very smooth.I've often wondered, how do those rubber blocks compare to rubber tracks for grip on soft ground.
Obviously not going to match steel tracks but would they be better than rubber ones?
Half thinking of buying a 14 ton here, thinking of either a b/c series Volvo, or equivalent series Hitachi, I want something I can shift again pretty easily if I decide plant hire is not for me! Any of the digger men on here have any suggestions?
Have a 140blc here, only do our own with it but happy with it. was better value and a more comfortable machine when we bought it than anything else we saw at the time.Half thinking of buying a 14 ton here, thinking of either a b/c series Volvo, or equivalent series Hitachi, I want something I can shift again pretty easily if I decide plant hire is not for me!

Bound to be under stress, hard on the slew ring like. Not to mention pins and bushes being put under sideways pressue, which they are meant to beWas watching a vid with one of those wrists on an excavator.
Driver was doing a lot of sideways digging, not heavy but digging using the slew as the force non the less.
My question is, does this harm the digger? I can't think they were designed to take force that way. The boom is bound to be under stress, and of course the slew gear.
Is a digger that's run a wrist going to be one to avoid in the future??
Just my idle musings!😂
It would be tougher on slew motor for sure, but then i would be dragging trees round with the slew if falling a hedge. You've made me realise i'm a really bad person now..................................Was watching a vid with one of those wrists on an excavator.

😂 Don't think felled trees have the same resistance as a lump of clay!?It would be tougher on slew motor for sure, but then i would be dragging trees round with the slew if falling a hedge. You've made me realise i'm a really bad person now..................................
The ads gone now, what was it?Not a common brand but looks to fit tho ops ask not too strong money either https://www.donedeal.ie/plantmachinery-for-sale/track-machine/27049320
Schaeff iirc.The ads gone now, what was it?
Are they still on go? Thought they'd gone or been taken over?Schaeff iirc.
It was a 10 ton Schaeffer for 9.5 k It had a blade and wide pads looked a bit unloved but a good base to work from someone has a bit of a bargain from it , is there many using donedeal in the uk win?Are they still on go? Thought they'd gone or been taken over?
Oh rare machine then, i don't know whether many use it or not tbh, probably not at a guess.It was a 10 ton Schaeffer for 9.5 k It had a blade and wide pads looked a bit unloved but a good base to work from someone has a bit of a bargain from it , is there many using donedeal in the uk win?
