Muckaway , those weighloaders how do they work . I know you raise the body a bit ( how much btw ) but does the weight register with every bucket of muck of the 360 so that you can see the tonnage increasing and therefore know that one more bucket and you better pull away sharpish .
Cheers
Load cells under the body: Raise the body just clear of chassis and display will read 0. One bucket goes on and you’ll see how much it weighs say 1500kgs (1.5t). Just keep an eye on it like you said and guess whether you can take an extra bucketfull or not. I’ve got an alarm that I use when being loaded by a small digger so I can get out and stretch my legs which I set to 15.5 (I can carry 15.7 tops).
We’ve got PM and Woodland weighers. PM are dearer but very accurate, mine’s within 100kgs of our weighbridges (depends on tare weight of course).
Cheers Muckaway , definately a bit of kit worth having .

To be honest if it hadn’t been “relegated” to here it would have dropped down the pages to quick for me to see it.
Nice pictures, I do like to see proper working trucks and kept in such good nick.

Nice modern pic Nathan keep taking them you will be glad you did in later years.
Aint it the beauty of diggie as opposed to the old film cameras,you can just keep snapping away.
I think working shots are great,when I think of all the opportunities I and I’m sure many others on here have missed,if only. Regards Mike.
I like to take tipper pics as they work ie loading or tipping; Taking show pics is fine but it’s not how I view them everyday
