Tilt bed is the safest for tracked machines, much better than ramps. Bateson do a nice single axle tilt bed, Brian James supply the official timber wolf trailers, which have the advantage of a fixed cross bar to position the machine for perfect weight distribution.

I'm all Mac thanks. -
Can you add a lick button? You know, for Windows users.

That's the insulating properties of London smog.

16 metres? Longest rigid you can have is 12 metres, and that's including the cab. Have you looked on truck trader and eBay?

Not sure actually, my accountant set it up and he has a very vague idea about what I actually do.

I would think you would be, because you don't buy anything to resell. Check the category you fall into though, the percentage does vary according to industry. It might be you fall into a category with a lower percentage. I'm on 9.5%, so halving your sales vat gives you a fairly close approximation. Plus you get an extra 1% for the first year.

Ah, there's 2 limits. One is for registering, the other is the upper limit once you have registered.

Vat on red is 20% Think it's £250k annual turnover

No, as Al said, capital purchases only. Fuel will never be a capital purchase no matter how much you buy. I'm on the flat rate scheme and it works very nicely for me, I'm consistently better off financially. It's pretty easy to compare, next time you do a vat return divide your sales vat by 2, and if that's more than you reclaimed in purchase vat you would have been better off on the flat rate scheme.

It really does. I managed to get out of there towing someone's chipper, but it was touch and go until I got into the temporary roadway.

ATTN! Any Stockists / Suppliers sell these gloves?
Peter replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
Same here Rich. These are worth a try. safety work gloves, footwear, eye, ear and head protection| LightWeight but Extremely Tough Rubber Coated Gripper Gloves Apologies for derail Jon. -
I think you're getting your ENs and CEs mixed up. EN is the standard, CE is a declaration by the seller that the item meets all and any relevant standard.

When I did a sharps course a few years ago there were no gloves that would completely prevent needle stick injuries. Get a proper sharps disposal container and some training, most of the time they are easier to handle with just latex gloves and some care.

Or to paraphrase slightly, if you can't afford a trip to the factory you can't afford to buy one.

If you have to ask the price you can't afford one!

4x4 isn't as useful on a big truck, the main problem is sinkage rather than traction. If all the wheels are buried up to the axles you aren't going anywhere. 4x2 or 6x4 with wide tyres on the front is pretty good, after all even with 4x4 you aren't going rock hopping with it.

They do but they're a bit dear.

This was BC. Although I also went back to work the day after I fractured a vertabrae. You should be able to drive fairly soon, get some extra labour in and a climber and carry on, just stay on light duties. The problem with an arthroscopy is they really can't tell you what their going to do until they get in there, if it's a very simple trim and flush then you'll walk out same day. The first one I had done at 14, they stitched the meniscus back together and I was in a splint and on crutches for 6 months.

I've had two, last one I went back to work two days later.

I always reverse out of the tip, keeps all the chips in the right place. Side tip is less stress on everything, the geometry makes lower tip heights, shorter distance from pivot point to ram mount etc. Far less likely to tip a side tip truck over while tipping too.

Gross vehicle weight. The bigger you go the better the unladen weight to payload ratio. A 3.5 tonne truck will struggle to achieve a 1 tonne payload, but a 32 tonner on 4 axles will carry 20 tonnes.

Pre digi tacho for sure. Problem is most stuff gets exported at 8-9 years old now, sometimes even younger.

Urban artic is my dream rig, one day it will happen.
