    Minor detail mate but it's best to always ground your machine bucket. Low chance of anything happening but you never ever know. Especially with a puppy and kids in the home.

      Like suddenly loosing hydraulic pressure because a hose or seal breaks? (Just curious)

    • @tomv7552
      @tomv7552 2 роки тому +6

      Ardon, yeh, that and they are live, so when the machine is turned off the bucket will fall to the ground if the leaver gets bumped

      @tx5brent 2 роки тому +1

      Yeah, have seen a seal failure cause the boom to drop on a 5t excavator that was parked up for maintenance with the bucket up. Id be happy to leave the bucket tilted, probably good to have the base touching the ground though

    As Ryan said always ground the bucket and any attachments.
    And when pushing into the pile with the bucket. You want the bottom of the bucket roughly level and about an inch or 2 above ground level. As you drive in the bucket will drop under the weight to reach ground level

    We got washed out big time in WA about 3 months back, all my levels got stuffed had to re level 140m2 by hand up a slope that washed probably 4cube of top soil down. What a bloody nightmare. Layed Empire Zoysia starting to come good now few bumps with the weather being so wet. We shall see if customer wants a top dress in the future.Been down about 3 Months I went back last week to check retic settings and first cut. Looks acceptable.Not quite up to your perfect levels.

    Hey Ben, quick Q. I topdressed with 80/20 same time as you, up to 30mm thick it places. Some areas are forming a hard crust quite quickly, making it hard for the leaf to punch through.
    Would a strong soil wetter application help prevent this crusting or is it a matter of keeping it constantly wet?

    Hey Ben,
    As a guide, what setting do you have your spreader set to when using Noculate xn. Going by the guide in the spreader user manual (@ half rate) and rate of 3kg per 100m2 it recommends setting 14 but this looks way too open and I’m not game to try.

Also for fertilizer i was thinking around 4. Scotts don't make it easy to determine if you're not using their seed/fert. Thanks in advance
