Oh dam,used mine hard in the pilbara this year to push into spinafex and scrub,will check them this arvo
Yeah same here SL,all ours are ok,maybe one just starting on the bosses 11 but not a problem atm,i remember using the 17 like a whipper snipper in one spot this year,i was worried phewwwwJust checked mine. No cracks so far.
And I've used it a lot so far this year.
Yeah, I tend to move a few of the lighter materials around.Yeah same here SL,all ours are ok,maybe one just starting on the bosses 11 but not a problem atm,i remember using the 17 like a whipper snipper in one spot this year,i was worried phewwww
The yoke rubbers worn or shaft twisting?Yeah, I tend to move a few of the lighter materials around.
Mine has a bit of a loose shift though. No matter how much I've tried to tighten it.
I've given up and will take it back to the store I got it from.
Not sure what's going on. When it's fully tightened and the coils on the ground and a bit of pressure is put downwards the bottom connection has a bit of play in it.The yoke rubbers worn or shaft twisting?
I suppose we never know how everybody else treats their machines but considering mine still has the original coil scuff cover on it after 16 months I think I can safely say it hasnāt been abused.6000's or any machines shouldnt be used as Bulldozers to move dirt,rocks,grasses,branches,even trees out of the way. Hense brocken shaft mounts.
Not sure if your saying your rubbers are worn or the yokes lose in the shaft SL?Not sure what's going on. When it's fully tightened and the coils on the ground and a bit of pressure is put downwards the bottom connection has a bit of play in it.
That bit there where you tighten the shaft. There is a bit of play there when it's fully tightened. May take it apart and have a look tomorrow but I'm not very handy.Not sure if your saying your rubbers are worn or the yokes lose in the shaft SL?
If the yokes loose just pull it out,get all the old glue off it,sand it up with coarse paper,i even lightly wire wheel them on the shafts i put togethor,sand the inside of the shaft with about 60 or 80 paper lightly(roll the paper so it fits in the shaft),mix up some 24hr araldite,smother the yoke with it,twist it about a bit as ya put it in so the epoxy spreads etc,clean up the excess,tape the join with elect tape and stand it up onight so the epoxy stays at the bottom,if ya key both surfaces up correctly it is a very strong bond.
I think the coils are a bit weak around that area but also im sure where all guilty of it and i know i am,as those rubbers wear we just keep nipping the coil bolt up,instead of replacing the rubbers,no prizes for guessing what's goin on there,as lesgold says there's a price for pushing the boundaries on weight....
Difference I've found is the size/shape is better to manoeuvre in tight or overgrown areas.Do they really make a difference to the standard coils? Why if so?
Yeah because you have piece of mind that they will at least work!Do they really make a difference to the standard coils? Why if so?
And yet after all the reported failures, their website has the gall to make this astonishing claim:Yeah because you have piece of mind that they will at least work!
My 2nd minelab 11" coil became touch sensitive today. Was running beautifully, then all of a sudden, useless. Pack up and go home with the shits. For an $8 k machine, they got the coil wrong, cheap and nasty shit box coils.
