Well you learn something everyday! Thanks Neal, a useful calculation to know. I should have listened more in maths!

oh damn you said the exact same thing I commented, need to read before I post

Thanks, I try to make content I would want to watch, or help others like me understand if this new tech is worth it or not. To be honest I wasn't going to review my Navara, they have stopped making them for Europe now so didn't really think it was worth it - same with my Indespension trailer - no longer made! So I could say its the best thing ever - but you cant buy one! I might do something on towing setups in general, because when you are running right at capacity on the trailer, you have less capacity in the pickup than you might think. Whilst they can tow 3.5t, they don't have the train weight to carry anything whilst towing that weight!

That's a good point a video on towing/ trailer weights, etc would be a good watch especially f us lads with the 8026 we're definitely getting close to the limit. I've got batesons light weight trailer but still very close t bein over weight

It really depends on your work, but for a 2D system, I find the Idig setup to be brilliant. I can easily swap it between my two machines, its accurate, easy to use and cheaper to buy than the Trimble 2d system.

Thanks. I have the upgraded dipper sensor ready for a grade to blade upgrade in the future, but to be honest - I've never yet felt like I need it.

I am far from an expert on how it works, I've found the user manual to be pretty useless and I'm sure there are features that I don't know exist! I rarely use slope capture as I'm always trying to set things to a given grade rather than match an unknown one, so I'm not sure it tells you what the % is of the slope when you have captured it. Does your laser stop spinning from time to time when its on the angle setting? Comes up with HI check on the receiver?

I believe it’s £7k plus vat fitted in the UK now

Its a Leica CLX 300. I am sure you will have a dealer near you. I bought mine from Sunbelt rentals.

Its a Leica CLX 300. Judging by how many people have asked about it - I'm going to have to do a review on that too in the future!

Looks good from my house!

Its a Leica CLX 300. The combo rod eye remote thing is really handy for not getting out the cab to adjust grade, mask the beam, put it to sleep over lunch etc.

@@Olliegunns it’s a great bit of kit 👍🏻 time to upgrade I think 🤣🤣

@@MrFatdaz What are you running currently?

@@Olliegunns ll300n spectra precision it’s got a remote but it’s shit

I know there's other ways of doing it but if I was better at maths I wouldnt be a digger driver! And being of a certain generation - there is an app for everything!

I can only speak from my experience, for me and my business, it has allowed me to be far more accurate and has removed the need for another man to check the grade, or for me to get out and do it myself. The time saved there alone has paid for itself very quickly.
