My pleasure and txs for the comments

That is indeed the purpose of the mechanism, the alternative is a fixed arm and a pressure (oil) relief valve between the in and out of the oil pump.. So when block the oil valve opens (bypass) and the pump stops.

Yes that is an option but always cumbersome with cables

Thanks for the comments, and indeed but progressive solenoids with a joystick will just work fine.

Yes indeed Dennis, that is play on the tractor lift mechanism that i need to reduce

Hi Jim, yes that is true... things change over time... The iPhone and iPad are also from China and good products. I guess if you pay enough it will be good. But what I hate is the shops sell this junk, as it was a great product

It is perfectly possible to buy high quality Chinese products - they have the skills. The problem is that so many things are built down to a price, which is often defined by the middle men who are selling the stuff on. I have had many items where corners have been cut on a basically sound machine - the hedge trimmer here appears to be solidly built, but is let down by the control and linkages. I've found that it is often possible to make small improvements that make a big difference to the useability of a tool. For example, bearings can often be easily changed for better items. You could argue that it shouldn't be necessary, but then you have to weigh up the initial cost plus modifications against the sometimes much higher price of the "brand name" equipment. Anyway, some of us like tinkering with these things! Cheers!

Thank you kindly, and indeed

Glad you enjoyed it

Yep that is coming, but only after I completed the motor of Old Rusty and the DAX. sorry

Hahaha, that is true especially for the 800m long hedge. You might be right about the near future. But first Old Rusty and the DAX motor

Thank you

Noted! Thanks for the comments

I have tried all possible combinations, the only way the work a bit is straight up... but then I can't reach lol... en besides that the valves seem to work on -off .. I like proportional controls

@@D3Sshooter Sorry - I didn't mean to move the controls from the tractor - just to secure the long loop in the control cables to the upright just to stabilize them. Actually, you could just cut the cable a lot shorter to get the same effect AND make them easier to operate. Anyway, have fun putting it into decent operating condition and fixing the manufacturer's design and construction issues. I'm sure we will see a video or two sometime.

Hi Stevie. indeed I can only agree with you. You are into Model trains ? What scale is that.. I can see you building complete tracks, stations and more. Maybe something for a video ?

D3Sshooter Morning Steve. Thanks for you comments. Ever since I came across your channel I've been inspired on what you achieve with a little patience. It's a great all round channel with something for everyone. Back in the late 70s my friends and I loved messing round with cars especially old MK3 Ford Cortina's with the pinto engine. My model railway is of the British scale of 1.76 which we call 00 gauge. I think in Europe and America you use HO scale? I haven't got the confidence of doing videos like you Steve as you come across as a natural. I did do a small one but I'm very critical of it due to a lack of confidence I think. So I'll just keep watching yours lol 😂 I may do some still shots of my layout soon as I'm on furlough from work I'm spending a lot of time making things for it. Hope you and all of your family are well and keeping safe? Oh and I think our trip too Antwerp will be cancelled in December 🙁 Until the next video cheers as always Stevie 😎🇬🇧

Its metric....

Yes. I can and that is about 350 Euro

Right on, Thanks for the comments

Glad you enjoyed it

I sold the dam thing and got a proper version

Thanks for the comments

Thanks for the comments, indeed why did they make it like that

hahaha, that will come soon if I have some time

Oh , yes.. That DB starts like a champ and rides like new

@@D3Sshooter I own a old JCB 3cx digger a old JCB 530b telescopic fork lift and a international 785 xl so it always interest me when you work your old machine's 👍

I will as soon as i get to it

Yes, it is...simple to deal with

That is the plan. Modify and improve but also warn about it

Yes, thanks. It was a real nice day

I have not procured it... I am still considering

@@D3Sshooter cant you extend hydraulic hoses and move valve block, quick couplers?

There are only Chinese grinders nowadays... ;)

yep, often you get what you pay for... same thing here

@@namulit , that is true. but they come in different price ranges.

@@D3Sshooter yes.. without a doubt.. in italy we say less you spend more you spend.. becouse need to buy a new one ..that time i needed the grider for one time.. shitty quality really

Thank you for the comments, I am moving it to the front of the tractor and we will see what happens then

Glad it helped!

D3Sshooter - 👍 although spent the day cutting by hand 🤦‍♂️...knackered!

Thanks for commenting

yes indeed, soon i will fix all this before the season starts

@@D3Sshooter STEVE !!!! this is a very good idea for moving the cable commands of the machine make them hydraulic !!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbtoaNtytce9d40.html !!!

Its a 1970

Thanks for the comments, I try to beat the law of business and often it works and often it fails... but its fun

Indeed

Deo Persad Most of the tools are still made in China.

hahaha, because I am cheap.... I git it really cheap and wanted to test it and see how good or bad it was. I will keep the good parts and modify /change the bad parts.

For 1000€ extra you can have a used good as new Dutch / German quality hedge trimmer.

Ha, nice

That would be something. Was the David Brown not designed by Aston Martin ?

@@D3Sshooter Other way round, I think AM was developed by David Brown.

haha, that is what is wrong I should use a Chinese Tractor.... Dammed , I used a good old David Brown...

Heard a story of the first Chinese tractors made (or it may have been North Korean). It had four backward gears and one forward.

Well because I got it really cheap and I will keep the good parts and replace the bad parts or modify it... I just wanted to warn the viewers be aware of cheap trimmers like this one...

I agree to that. A friend of mine sells tools. I would say low cost tools and those are all China made. One of the points is that when go goes and visit the factories he can make the choice between I, II or III quality. The tools all look the same but are `cheap, middle or normal priced" you can't see the difference easily. And many tool shops in Europe buy the cheap version. Especially the web shops. They make a fortune with it , while the customer is F.... Unless he/she can modify the tool.. sometimes that works. So the real issue IMO are our sale shops that buy those low cost tools despite the fact that the same tool is available in China with better quality

Yep

Indeed

hahaha

and last longer ?

Indeed, I would say , don't buy cheap Chinese stuff. If you see something for half of the price then something is wrong
