  2. Victron Blue Smart IP65 25/10A. The end.
  3. Today
  4. I'm already baffled. I want to ( legally ) carry on pulling trailers, or being allowed to drive 7.5 Tonners on the rare occasion I need to. Some sites indicate I need to fill in forms D2/D4, but I think that's for minibuses/HGV etc. Others say that if I have B+E entitlements then it's automatically OK. Just to complicate matters, I can't find my paper licence, but I remember when I got it, I was delighted to find I could use various everyday vehicles, such as Road Rollers, pedestrian controlled mowing machines, and all manner of similar stuff. 🙂 Any informed advice would be gratefully received, thanks.
  5. so prepare a reading list for me
  6. Sounds like the O rings have failed on the pressure relief valve. Locate your hydraulic valve block with the solenoid coils and remove the PRV. Think its like a 22mm spanner from memory. Also, get a volt meter and check to see if you still have 12v on the forward hirchsmann plug when the rollers are stopping. As others have said, check your drive belts. Both flywheel and hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump belt on the old TW125 are quite fiddly to tension.
  7. York is a great place to work with approx 35000 trees to manage urban and rural areas. Will include crown reduction, Thinning and dismantling on highways and CYC sites. 2 rope climbing and using Cherry Picker. Apply before July 2nd CYC jobs website – Job profile JOBS.YORK.GOV.UK Search for Jobs JOBS.YORK.GOV.UK
  8. Turn the argument back and ask them what they deem as qualified but would assume basic chainsaw tickets would be enough. You don't ask a joiner if they've a ticket for that circular saw.
  9. thanks for the comprehensive explanation. I’ll try both approaches on Friday.
  10. Oval is stronger maybe Like airplane windows and port holes The jap axes are never wedged inline with blade orientation as it can break the weak point in the eye See the adze pic as well wedges are same way
  11. For pragmatic reasons we do need a mix of renewables and nuclear, but I think you might be right about the added politics if it. A lot of what Labour is doing generally this time seems to be to appease the right leaning voters, by moving themselves ever further towards the right. They're terrified of Reform. It's not right, it's all wrong. Aside from that Labour are barely any better than the previous Conservatives, when it comes to environmental concerns or care for the countryside.

  21. Yeah, that. The thing I was trying to tell you might be wrong with something of yours a few weeks ago. Because I’m obviously the one to offer the other one advice on hydraulics out of the two of us.
  22. From what @Joe Newton says that brace is 2/3 through its design life and from the look of those forks I expect it would fall apart if removed.
  23. Having developed the first ever backpack blower in the early 1970s, ECHO know a thing or two about blowers. They have recently launched the PB-9010T backpack blower. Built for professional users and heavy-duty applications, it boasts an industry-leading 48.9N of blowing force, making debris removal almost effortless. The PB-9010T is the culmination of years of designing machines that are not only powerful, but put operator comfort at the forefront of the process. The combination of a powerful 79.9cc engine, air speed of 97.8m/s and a maximum air volume of 1907m³/h enables operators to complete tasks faster and more efficiently . With operator comfort in mind, the PB-9010T features a 5-point anti-vibration system, ergonomic backpack straps, and a hip belt to reduce fatigue. The unique operator back ventilation system provides cooling airflow during hot weather and can be disabled for colder conditions, ensuring year-round comfort. A patented metal wear ring enhances durability and protects the blower tube from wear, while the top-mounted, tool-less air filter allows quick maintenance in the field. Built-in cruise control means constant speed is easy to maintain. The ECHO PB-9010T is available now from ECHO dealers nationwide and is priced at £899 (inc-VAT).

  25. Last week
  26. I did work at a private school up to about 4 years ago. They started saying, needed Risk assessments method statements insurance copy and DBS cheque, Told them to find someone else as had worked for them for about 30 plus years and was the person how had worked there the longest. School closed last year so no loss, and very little work ha been do there since I stopped.
  27. Checkatrade was originally set up as a local leaflet in the seaside town of Selsey after a storm to help the local community found trust worthy trades people to undertake the repairs needed. It grew from there and when I joined it was still run by the same gentleman from offices in Selsey and was brilliant and provided me with 80% of my work. Since then it has been sold twice and I think it now belongs to a company in Canada who will just milk you for all your worth. There has been a few very negative news story's on the company and the trade people that they promote. For example as to how bad checkatrade is, you use to have to send a copy of your insurance certificate that they would then check, now you just have to tick a box saying you have insurance without providing evidence. The only thing I lost when I quit was over 600 reviews but at least I'm not running around quoting jobs for people that have already asked 10 other companies and are just looking for who ever can do it the cheapest.
