Hey guys we were digging out for a bio-cycle tank the other day. 8'6" deep in soft blue shale followed by digging out a few stumps when ****! Welded her back up with 7018's and made two 8mm gussets for the sides. Working away the finest since

    Ouch - Did it snap clean off at first or did one side go and you didn't notice it until the other side twisted? Machine looks to be in stunning condition, nice one.

    One big bang im afraid but i was prying out a stump so the tension on the boom twisted the piece that was hanging on... Cheers strott
