One reel will have 130m's of hose and the other will have 100m's of hose. If I find I can run with only 100m's then I will reduce the first reel. I don't use the same reel, I swap over halfway through my list of work that day.
These reels come with a winding handle that can be attached when they fail to work.
Will see how they go but first impressions are good.
Change reels midway through the day to prolong its life? You’ve gotta be on a wind up. Fair play you’ve trolled us all for a while now
Anything mechanical should be worked everyday for 15 minutes. That's the reason alot of boilers fail come October because the heating has not been on for months. Got told this when I worked on the oil rigs.
Did they have 2 oil rigs in case one broke down?
I worked on The Thistle rig in the North Sea. We were drilling with one Derrick and a driller and assistant was working on the other Derrick. I told the guys what a waste of money because all they were doing was sending the Kelly up and down and applying grease. I always remember their reply :- BP thought the same as you until after it was sitting idle for 7 months and we began to drill on that Derrick. It had seized and cost a million to fix and many more in lost production. So now they employ 2 drillers to keep all the parts moving everyday.
I have never forgot that answer and try and run my van and system everyday for at least 5 minutes. I'm not that intelligent but what I do have is a fantastic memory when I am told important things in business.
