    Soiltac, Perma-Zyme And Other Soil Stabilizers

    No worries Queenslander, I'll let you know once we trial the enzyme stuff We are currently using the Soiltac on a limestone rubble which is proving fairly durable for dust control, we were just spraying it on top of the prepared surface at around 50 cents M2 and getting a year or more out of it...

    Sign of the times

    Yeah we've had to put a new work rule in place about this, No social media during work hours and personal calls kept to a minimum Young blokes were spending too much time updating their status and not concentrating on the job, Apart from the lost productivity things weren't getting done properly...

    Little Komatsu, Rumble In Swing

    Ouch, Ok I'll look at doing that on the weekend and see if anything moves where it shouldn't Just out of interest what did you do to repair it, Was it as simple as doing the bolts up again?
