Lets have a picture of the adjuster bolts on that topper so we can make some more suggestions.

I have one of the LIDl impact guns. Its one of Parkside best bit of kits. The batteries are quite good as well. An interesting thing I noticed is that both the batteries and battery tools gave increased in price substantially. I bought the impact as a bare unit in a warehouse sale for 30 euro I think. I bought a battery operated glue gun for a tenner the same day and a couple of batteries

I usually crack nuts with a power bar before using the impact gun on them. Before the prices increase they were great value. They still are decent value.

It's all relative I think I have given about 300-350 euro for a mini gringer, large grinder ( a couple weeks ago so it was 80 euro so a big lump.of the 300), mini drill, impact gun, power washer and glue gun, I have 2×4amp and 3X2amp battery.

Now I have other power tools as well but I am sticking to Parkside for the battery ones. The only other battery tool I have is a Bosch battery hammer drill that is 3O years old that I got through work. New battery for it cost me over 100 euro about 4-5 years back.

You shouldn't usually need to crack the nuts before using the impact gun though.

I've an 18v DeWalt impact driver and on the tractor wheels it will almost tighten them to the max, be lucky to get a quarter turn on them with the bar after.

Some guys are like Clint Eastwood with these high powered Milwaukee impact drivers and air guns, that's alright until you have to loosen them again.

Or have to deal with a cross thread

Anyone ever use a wheel dolly like in the link below? They seem like a good job for tractor tyres, especially the rear ones and make it a manageable one man job Could do with something like it as I'm currently doing a working restoration of an 8000 series Valtra.

As it's the guntering thread, the only thing I could think of to use around the yard for managing the tyres would be a pallet truck we have. Maybe weld up a kinda frame that could be secured to the pallet truck forks and would hold the tyre? I think I'll end up biting the bullet and buying something like what's in the link below.

Last time I did anything like that I used a ratchet strap wrapped around the wheel diameter and swung it out of the loader on another tractor.

Does anybody know what size generator I would need to work this 200 amp inverter welder?

SuperTortoise

7-8000 Watts roughly, make sure you're sitting down when you Google generators of that size!

The size of rod will have the biggest impact, but as above 7-8 kw as a minimum or it will be hard on welder and genny

I strapped the log splitter onto the forklift as the I'm in the process of taking apart the old trusty zetor. It works away grand on the forklift and is not boiling the oil which was my big fear.

This is the work in progress.

What's the plan with the crystal? Full restore or mechanical only?

Bart in cork is the man for parts for them.

Perhaps inverter welders are different, but I tries a 180 amp air-cooled welder on a 3.5 kva gunny ( welder set at 140 amp) and it'd pull the guts out of the gunny.

You'd need 8kvaat least, as advised above.

Alon need to make sure the gunny has a "clean" power delivery, suitable for electronics.

You don't want a spike to fry your welder.

Has anyone seen a clever setup for diverting yard runoff water from one drain to another should the yard be relatively clean or dirty. Something simple but reliable.

Are rats an issue if I don’t have a p trap?

Any suggestions very welcome

Would a concrete road gully not be what you want?

A T on a sewer pipe, dirty water _I_

Clean water T.

Turn up for dirty water to travel straight on, turn down for clean water to travel right or left.

Mechanical for now. Getting into the PTO pack and replacing plates, piston, rings etc is the aim. I want it to go mulching so everything that needs to be done will be done while I'm in there.

Hopefully get time to lift cab off tomorrow and split it.

Got 90% of the stuff from a crowd in Estonia, same place Bart gets his stuff from and then he charges three times the price 😄. Although I got the mudguards off him and a few small bits before I wised up. It's a work in progress. If I have it working for the 1st of September I'll be happy.

Send me the name is the crowd in Estonia please. I'm at a similar carry-on here.

This is the place here. Takes about 3 weeks for delivery.

Even got an inch flat face female hydraulic coupler off them for the digger, my local place €104, this place €36. Makes you wonder who is making the money here.

An option that could be considered could be welder Genny. No worrying about the electronics in the inverter welder

Did anyone ever make something for a standard 6ft single rotary topper, like a light bar to break up the cow pats and level sods

Pipe in above position let's dirty water straight through ( to tank ).

Pipe in below position diverts clean water to drain

Just turn t joint on the pipe.

I have a yard tank where there's a four inch inlet pipe going into the tank. When the yard is clean and I don't want it filling up, I put a cut off of a four inch pipe into the inlet and that blocks the water going into the tank. The clean water then just goes around the cut off and continues off down the yard.

So just imagine the drain pipe into the tank is a four inch circle in the yard into the tank. It's a four inch joiner concreted in and joining into the tank. To block it I stick a four inch wavin pipe into it. This is sticking up then about 10 inches above the yard when it's pushed in. The water then from the yard goes around the pipe and on but not into the tank.

If you connect the topper to the tractor with a PTO shaft...

Sorry!

Im just ondering why one would want to break up cow paths, in fact ,doing so is the one real downside to topping imho, disrupting the cow path ecosystem and contaminating the surrounding grazing.

Correct!

made one long ago, nothing as fancy as that though, just two angle irons off a length of box
