If money were no object, what plant, tools and equipment would you buy to make your job more profitable/easier/efficient?
I'd like a paving machine that would have a 3-4 ton hopper with, perhaps a 3m wide bed at full extension, a 4-5 ton dump truck to feed it, maybe a small self-propelled planer with conveyor. Oh and a zero-tailswing Takeuchi. Not much, but you can always dream!
What would you have on your list?

i have seen one in action on a takeuchi and it worked a treat
obviously flints are a pain ,but the guys was doing a hole every 2-3 minutes
also he had a slit trench devise,very handy for watermains etc
cheers LLL
One flaw that I can see - if the aforementioned "Brickwork Planning System" plans the bricks and then puts the data to disc (see image) then surely the "Operator with remote control" is redundant?

Has anybody used a machine-mounted post hole attachment? Did it work OK?
My mate has one on a kubota u10 digger. He reckons its great because you can reach over flowerbeds to put holes in, and if it gets stuck, you can reverse it.
I have one on my kubota stv32 tractor, but its got no reverse, so if it jams, you dig it out by hand!!
I think i would buy another crusher. The new digbits 3 tonner looks good, or i'd like a flat bed cabstar as a dedicated delivery vehicle and for my plant. I hate having to tow a plant trailer behind my double cab to deliver a crusher, especially in london where parking is a nightmare!
also, a green waste shredder that takes old fece panels. can't dispose of them for love nor money at the moment

The bigger crushers, do they work on the same "squeeze" principle?
We've got about 350/400 tons of broken up concrete at our yard (From a break up and remove concrete and relay with tarmac job) with 10mm rebar in it - in roughly 15"-25" lumps.
We're going to have *somebody* or *something* in to crush it for us for a source of secondary hardcore. Well, that's the idea, anyway.

Digbits new crusher the bav 035, works like mine but has tow jaws. One at the top, one at the bottom. They are impact crushers, and are a lot mor powerful than a rival, i.e. red rhino
a red rhino is a toggle crusher, and has a great big flywheel on the side to keep a jaw going which slowly grinds rather than crushes, if that makes sense.
Re bar is no problem for most machines. with that amount , yoiu might need a larger crusher than a 3 tonner!

I'm a simple man and don't wish for much. Will need to get a special tool box though. IYKWIM
