Weight of a tree...

8t

To my surprise, a whisker over 6ton.

  I took my new Ifor tipper today and naughty naughty managed to exceed my gross train weight by 750kg with the 4t ticket.

Day before a mere 2t of chip on the weighbridge.

Luckily the tip was only 2.7miles away.

Hurray for Midlands uprated springs.

Iveco gets new brakes, discs, pads and calipers next week too.

Makes mental note to stay off motorways more than usual....

Bugger!

Too late to the party, though I would have gone sub-5.

The divots from the lawn must have pushed up the total....

Was on weigh bridge the other day loaded with beech chip and it came to 2 tonne ... I was more shocked when they said it was £45 a tonne on what had been a free chip tip.

I did what I could with the wee Echo and just didn't have the minerals to haul a larger saw at the end of the day.

Besides, an overground pool is going there so lawn condition isn't an issue.

I'd never have chanced anything but a local journey, tip being 2.7miles away.

 Caught a €90 fine in 2015 for being 900kg over.

My saggy springs gave the game away then.

Only joshing Stu.

My favourite phrase is ‘F the lawn’.

Make sure you send an invoice to @Steve Bullman.

I'm not about the lack of minerals.

That is the largest tree I've climbed for months.

Let myself slip rather...

So to motivate the inner climber, I

treated myself to a pulley saver which I was delighted to find makes a great difference.
