Tractorman810 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 well... I am considering the idea of national via palletways perhaps Sean... not sure what to do with it as yet... all I know is that I need it screened first of all \ as long as the deliverer can supply a forklift to unload then yes that would work, but most lorrys that come like that are big artis or big ridgids, most wont get into most estates which would be the 1 ton bag market,mate of mine had that experiance with some plaster board, cheap enough, but when it arrived he had to unload all 50 sheets of it by hand as the seller contracted out to a local guy, and he didn't have a hiab or forklift full stop ,they just used the cheapest guy to get the job done, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 no end to your ideas marky only thing is if you are prosessing the by product and selling it ie the soil dont you need to be registered as waste transfer buisness?? \ i would look into it if i was you with all the new rules nowadays etc the screener you pictured should do the job great ive helped run a 3 way split screener been fed from a crusher, that gets even more products having the 3 different size screens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 I'm licensed with the EA for this Mike... although... I'm not sure that moving soil qualifies as waste even really... I've got a waste license for my bailing work (farm waste) you see.. I'm going to see how well the 'screened' stuff sells before making substantial investment I reckon mind you \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 I had a nice phone call last night. I'd quoted a local chap for 4 loads of soil (80t)... I was booked for today... he liked it so much he took 8 loads .... not really much time to take any pics... but here is a small selection... This is the big pile.... before I got really stuck into it today... it's VERY hard and compact.. I really need teeth on my bucket... This is the little pile (still about 300t at a guess... or more)... You can see that I've been scraping it out to get the good stuff in the middle Here is another pic... the idea is to undercut the pile... and cause a BIG collapse.. and boy did I get one... - you can tell when it's about to go... it starts to trickle the dust... then WHAM... and finally... the last load to leave today... Ahhhh happy days I really can't fault the tractor.. it performed faultlessly... the truck owner was impressed with the work rate - he's got a number of JCB's and other big plant - combined flow hydraulics realy are worth their weight in gold on a job like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 good looking soil mate, how often does that heap get refilled then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 They make about 5t per week I reckon mate... at a guess... I've got another 1000t of more 'loamy' stuff now as well... I'll be a long time getting rid of this lot I reckon mind you :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 rcon so mate, seeing as your doing more of this soil stuff have you considered a bigger bucket ,like you ment to get when you bought the current one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 I think I will mate.. although... This one is doing ok really.. it holds plenty really for what I am doing... without the weightbox on it can easily have the back wheels off the ground when loaded up \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 maybe just a toothed one would help? sure when the time comes if you know what i mean things may get bought eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Indeed... I may look at it in a few weeks time I think ... when I have a better idea of my plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 would a shear grab handle soil?? thought they were aimed more at sialge and muck, more solids stuff ,or do they do a bucket style one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Shear grab would be a waste of time in the lose soil, could do it ok in the hard stuff, but you need a big c=garb to have the same cap as your bucket, and they weigh like a lead brick, just get a slightly larger bucket and put bolt on teeth on it. if you had a bigger tractor ida say buy a screening bucket, you get them on pivot steer front end loaders, would suit you to the dot mate, but you need a 6cyl frame for the strength and back end weight...

SIMON. Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 On was only recommending a shear Grab to loosen up the hard stuff in the middle and break it down a bit ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis086 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Just dig in withe the pallet forks for that... dont know if thats wise to do my dad tried loosening silage with our pallet forks and he managed to break one of them although clay might not be as hard to loosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 dont know if thats wise to do my dad tried loosening silage with our pallet forks and he managed to break one of them although clay might not be as hard to loosen i shifted 50 ton of topsoil the other day Mark been sitting about on the farm since 3-4 year i just hitched the pallet tose or even the muck fork on and that soon breaks it up far easier to come in with a bucket then.

Lord Ferguson Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Ah I see... thanks for the tip Murray... easy when you know how hey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 bit of a pain to drag the pallet tines and bucket along to load up aint it marky?? guess you would have to strap the bucket onto the tines to do that, recona nice toothed bucket would suit you better,shame that piles so far away from you actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
