Might work if the excavator has cruise control else might be too much strain in that poor leg.

a nice length of 4 x 2 hardwood cut to the exact requirements works wonders as a replacement for cruise control

 

[Jim Lahey]

Haha it's only a little 3ton excavator on rubber tracks, top speed....2.7kmh haha

 

[HBS Guy]

Better start now then, LOL!

 

[HBS Guy]

2500Km @ 2.5kph. . .easy! Only something like 125 days!

making an assumption of where in QLD I live...

 

[HBS Guy]

Well, yeah, Brisbane to Hobart is what I used. Order of magnitude estimate really.

 

[Jim Lahey]

Back Somewhere in the thread you said mine tailing on the block didn't you?

 

[HBS Guy]

No, don’t think mine tailings, mine is out of town. Some boulders like 30cm diameter, rubble from a house that was on the block.

 

[Aussie]

No, don’t think mine tailings, mine is out of town. Some boulders like 30cm diameter, rubble from a house that was on the block.

Suggest you find out why the house that was on the block is now 'rubble.' Was that because of a demolition order from Council?

 

[Jim Lahey]

Google earth and go back as far as it will go and see whats there?

 

[HBS Guy]

Time travel?

 

[Jim Lahey]

yeah the little green anticlockwise arrow in the toolbar?

At my place I can go back nearly 20 years and I live in the middle of nowhere...

 

[HBS Guy]

Yeah, I thought I was using Google Earth Pro but wasn’t. Have now downloaded that but need to play with that a bit.

 

[Jim Lahey]

Is there town sewerage etc there?

 

[HBS Guy]

Nope.

 

[Jim Lahey]

If there was a house you might get lucky and still have a septic tank and trenches intact...

 

[HBS Guy]

I like your optimism! Could be!

 

[Jim Lahey]

Town water?

 

[HBS Guy]

Oh yes, best tasting municipal water in the world, apparently!

i learnt that the hard way ... We drove north 14 hrs for a holiday last year .. when I got back home and looked at the map I realised I'd barely made it 1/3rd of the way up the state ... fuck it's a big country. (i knew that in theory ... but driving it put it into perspective)
