If you start now, maybe by next week you and that machine will be there. Wish I could go but it's a long, long way for me. Would take many years on an excavator.
@@MrCrispinEnterprises I'd just apply common sense, particularly regarding a cold engine or one equipped with a turbocharger. You work at Rolls Royce, I bet there's some operating limitations regarding ground running before a take-off is attempted so that the components achieve working temp and stabilize and the oil reaches a minimum temp. I've got 7,000 hours being pushed along by a pair of Rolls-Royce AE 3007 engines and the minimum oil temp allowed for advancing the throttles to the take off gate was 40C - sometimes that was a blummin nuisance in the dead of winter in, say, Oslo.
@JohnSmith-vi5pz Yes you're point around engine temperature is important. If I was starting from cold I'd wind the throttle right down but when it's still hot it seems happy starting on full. As you say common sense. How many hours do you have digger driving?
@@MrCrispinEnterprises Regarding the digger driving, It's hard to say as I don't really monitor it - I could work it out based upon oil changes I do according to the Hobbs meter but that would make me a Dull Man! But it's just my own digger that I use for occasional jobs around the farm so very very few hours compared to a full time driver. I've had one for around 20 years - the best bit of kit I ever bought as it is also excellent for slinging my machine tools to move them around and on and off trailers.
