It's been a hectic few days!
Arrived back into a very wet UK after being on holiday to find the proposed site of the demonstration too wet to access with the lowloader.
It took a frantic few hours driving around to find another suitable site but we found another that appeared better than the initial one so that was a result.
This however was the time I had allocated to fit the flail mower, but a local hydraulics guy was kind enough to work well into the evening to fit the necessary 'T' pieces and lengthen the hoses to get it fitted.
However all was not well and the mower was simply not getting enough flow, and the Kubota seemed unwilling to 'sense' this and provide more flow.
An early call next morning to John Craig has me pushing buttons and pulling levers to no avail, and John racking his brains for the solution.
I suggested he had a coffee as I had plenty of other things to get ready and call me back later.
Call me back he did but not what I expected, he asked my location and explained he was already well over the border and on the way down to me.
Nothing unusual you may think, but he is in Stirling Scotland around 5 hours drive away from me!
John arrived and quickly diagnosed the problem as a setting on the Engcon control unit and soon had the flail operating properly.
When the Kubota decided to provide all it had got, the flail really come alive and had us all running for cover!
I can only say a great big thanks to John Craig for driving 10 hours round trip to get me sorted and speaks volumes for his willingness to go the extra for customers.:thumbsup
The buckets finally arrived just in time, and I hate them!
I have added a couple of pictures that show the 'wedge' added to alter the angle and this will make things clearer in previous posts.
The demo was well attended despite being cancelled and then moved etc, and most of the comments were favourable.
The machine traversed the ground without hardly a mark, and the mower appeared to be a hit with all.
I should have the pics and some video back shortly.
