SIMON. Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Why do you need a reserving camera on something that's not even 3 foot : :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Why do you need a reserving camera on something that's not even 3 foot : :D one hell of a blind spot on it mind si, i am used to trailers ect, but that blocks everything, as i found out wednesday, guess its so close to the window it gives no sight what so ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Did I hear my name mentioned Good Looking nearly Shrek when you were 5 I know Sorry Marky ...failed to see you name flash up on the phone whilst your ringtone "burn baby burn " played in the office earlier.. I was told I couldn't answer it as the staff were all enjoying it so much plus the fact seeing my reaction of legging it out of the room screaming "leave me alone" :'( :'( :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Bit of an update to Frankie's topic... I had a day in the seat today.. interesting jobbie... baling a few thousand acres worth of HDPE spray cans... and a few dumpy bags as well... I left work at 6.30am this morning... 40 minute drive through Cambridge 'cycle city' as its known... when I arrived... I was greeted by a Green Tractor :o I've blanked the farm name out as I forgot to ask permission to post the pics up... Anyway... I'll tell you about it in a story book style-e so please make yourself comfortable... First up... We had two 'batches' to bale... a LOVELY 14t Marshal trailer (painted in Claas colours) full of cans... and a 'pile' in the corner....

Lord Ferguson Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 So... the driver hooked up the trailer and dumped her on the floor for us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Here is a bale all made and ready to 'eject' in the machine... Lumpy securing the wires on the bale... Then... SHOCK HORROR... an oil slick began to appear under Frankie :o so I called my mate Graham at the local dealers... he was with us within 30 mins... good service hey - it turns out one of the valves in the spool block had worked itself loose... the oil passing the o ring had caused it to fail... so one o ring later and we are in business once again...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 As it's quite cold... the plastic is quite hard... although it compacts well (too well really)... plastic has a 'memory' and always tries to expand back into it's old shape... hard plastic is quite forceful (and not pliable)... so... about 30 mins after we had made the first bale... we hear a loud ping... followed closely by a further 3 pings... and we go outside to find our hard work all over the yard Subsequent bales were 'backed off' a little before they were tied off - learn by your mistakes and all that... Here is the offending bale.... which was soon re-baled... da dar... we ended up making 8 bales today... which was pretty good going for the type of product we were working with... finally... view from the bridge... I get to sit in here and watch lumpy work on the camera :D Any questons... fire away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 with you, do any of your customers sell the bales then?? or is that all part of your contract to remove and sell it on? No... we charge to come and bale.... take title to the waste then sell it one mate... kind of a double whammy.... if only plastic was worth something :'( :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMurF Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 No... we charge to come and bale.... take title to the waste then sell it one mate... kind of a double whammy.... if only plastic was worth something :'( :D Marky you may be able to answer a question for me Are plastic spray containers actually recyclable as i was told that not many if any recyclers would touch them due to the possibility of contaminents (even after tripple rinsing the containers still have traces of chemicals ) They would only incinerate them \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
