    Is there such thing as.....

    A small excavator with a very long reach, or an attachment to extend the reach? We've got drainage ditches and streams that need cleaning out. They have mostly leaves and branches in them so it doesn't need to be particularly powerful, hence why an extension on a smaller digger might work...

    Spreadsheet of all the compacts

    I came across this earlier, I'm not sure how recent it it, but there sure is a heck of alot of information there! I seems to have most the major brands on there, and most of their models. Take a look Comparison

    Adding additional hydrulics to a John Deere 455

    You'd probably get away with 1/4" no worries, but if you can, get the 3/8". Any restrictions to the flow that you can avoid the better. TBH, I'd probably use 3/8" hose too, the hoses on a loader can get quite long. Presumably you are satisfied with the speed you will be getting out of the...

    National Farm Machinery Show

    I remember that Dan. I didn't previously appreciate just quite how big the show was though! And guys, I can vouch for the quality of Dans decals, I've got a few on a mower. There is a link to some in his signature. If you need some custom decals I would recommend Dan to you all.

    Adding additional hydrulics to a John Deere 455

    Yes, that'll work. Ideally you should use QDs that are 1 size larger than the hose, so if you have 1/4" hose use 3/8" QDs.

    Adding additional hydrulics to a John Deere 455

    I would split the line from the PB on the steering valve and add the loader valve in there as you say. That means that the steering would have 1st priority, then the loader, and then the current 2 valves on the tractor. Does the 455 have the appropriate flow for a loader? Personally, I would...

    I&T Shop Manual - Ferguson Models TE-20, TO-20, TO-30

    Coolio. I've got a Ferguson TE-20 so I might be interested in the manual. Is it a CD or hard copy, and would you be willing to send it overseas? Maybe you could let me know how much you want for it. Cheers

    As seen from space

    Well, my house is in the picture, but sadly I cant claim to be the one who mowed 'HELLO' into a field :D We live quite close to a small airport, so I'm assuming thats why he mowed it in, but what a bit of timing to get it on google earth! He also wrote his name a little to the left, but its too...

    Hard starting - because the 3 point hitch was UP

    Thats a new one on me, I can see how that would happen though. Definitely one to keep an eye out for. I'm now thinking back to all the times I've had something turn over sluggishly and thinking if that might have been the reason. Interesting :thumb:

    Considering alternate GT power source

    Thats quite a cute little engine. It'd be perfect for a little mini excavator or something, compact and powerful. I expect you've seen the little Perkins I think it was that surplus center are selling for small change on their site. I expect we'll see a few projects involving small diesel...
