i was going to take a pic when it was all out and supported but we had to crack on
I pay about a tenner a box for the 150mm ones and they are such a good fixing after fischer fixings
6.5mm hole then drive the 7.5mm screw in
this was cavity work as well they had 2 bits of 6 by2 nailed together on the inside as a lintel
in a different scenario i would have needled it and/or propped up the inside as well
great earner this sort of thing ,if you can think laterally

2006 but its old school, takes me 10 mins to get used to it then a lot of swearing when i mess up, i like it but its not like driving a excavator but on the right job they are great plus its a 7 ton digger that does 25mph and if you know what you are doing the front bucket is an excellent weapon for grading dosing etc
an old boy friend of ours has run them for 20 years i spent a week with him on a job both in 3cx learning and copying, great tool when used right.

Giles you can install push fit connectors to the 3 cx that changes them from standard to 360 in 30 seconds. I worked for a fella in Brisbane who had several of them and some 360's which were done up to act the same as the 3cx's I had tickets for both at the time but couldn't get my head around the 360 at all and it had to be changed everytime I was in it.
Can't see it from my house

just to get my head round this, you can easily convert a backhoe controls to work the same as a 360??

Yes feck knows who does it and I can't understand why it's not all standardised anyway it would be so much safer.dig dug dan wrote:Giles you can install push fit connectors to the 3 cx that changes them from standard to 360 in 30 seconds.
