Andrew,your man Darren has made a cracking job of grading them planings.especially with that type of machine ,you'd have thought it was don with a blawnox,in the 80s I used to have a small planthire company .i had 3 international 125 drotts and 3 b100 and a couple of old jcb mk 3 .when I was forming up and taking the final grade ,I always had a long railway sleeper which was wider than the bucket .grab it with the 4 in 1 clam ,that made life so much easier.and left a perfect finish just like Darren s
Regards Peter

Yes he's pretty good isn't he - and just gets on with it ! He's done loads of work for me over the past ten years and I have full confidence in him.
No doubt I'll have apoplexy and groan when I get his bill :lol:

Hi there, Andrew,
I'd just like to record that I've very much enjoyed following along with this project (as with all your projects!). :mmr: :mmr: :mmr:
Are we now going to have to endure a Mawson famine while you catch up with the farm work and then prepare for and run the scraping class? :( :( :(
Do you know what happened to your CNC lathe? What is the buyer doing with it?
wgw:
Many years ago I was paid to take several loads of road scrapings ! Saved them many miles of driving. Very useful stuff. I am trying to find small amount of similar for road repairs here and it is not easy. I have been told that it can no longer be used for farm roads, pollution products ?
awemawson:
There are limits on the volume used rather than an outright ban, and the limit is pretty high.
Yesterday Darren was back and made good progress - the main 'inner yard' is now finished bar a couple of low spots that need raising. The track past the pigs needs a bit of fettling, as does the hard standing outside my 40 foot containers. Then behind the containers is a little yard used to park construction plant by a local builder, and that is going to be scraped off and compacted with the crushed concrete that we have left. It already is well hard cored, but when it was laid the vibro roller wasn't here so this is an opportunity to do it properly.
He may be back this afternoon but is suffering water supply issues on his farm.
