How old is it Matt?

Just send a bill for 4 hours, and leave it at that!

The vt is unlikely to self tend unless it is tied loose, in which case it wont grab reliably.

The only advantage to derating a 7.5 tonner to 6 or 5.5 is one of driver licensing. If you have a pre 97 licence, this will entitle you to drive a 7.5 tonner and tow up to 750kg of trailer, giving a total MAM of 8250kg. If you want to tow a heavier trailer, you can derate the towing vehicle, so if you go down to 5.5 tonnes, you can tow 2750 kg of trailer. Beware though, that derating a 7.5 tonner by 2 tonnes will decrease your legall payload to the point where filling the truck with chip will put you overweight. You would be much better off paying around £800, and getting category C1+E on your licence, then you can tow 3.5 tonne trailers with your 7.5 tonner, provided the vehicle capable of towing that. As for a narrow 7.5 tonner, I would look at the Mercedes 814, not much bigger in footprint than your transit, can carry 4 tonnes legally, and tow a 3.5 tonne trailer. There is one in the classified section of this site, with a chip body and lockers on.

I'm sure the kitty was just fine, alsations usually love cats. Collies normally hate them, so perhaps thats his collie side showing through there. My dog likes cats, but our cat hates him with a passion!

Why anyone would want to go to work in a handbag is beyond me though, I go in my transit, much more practical!

Next you'll be telling us you drive a big macho 4wd! Could and do from what I hear.

I used to be an 11 stone weakling, now I am two separate gorillas.

I dont think they are talking about topless darts Steve.

Welcome Do you have a pressure washer? You could clean all the soil and stones off and then saw them up.

He is a top notch driver, he's saving wear and tear on the brakes by using the vehicle in front to stop.

Shouldnt that be the "Brownest Nose Award"?

Its all Ephebian to me. Long live Lord Nelson, and damn the torpedoes.

I'm a subbie, so I work with whatever there is. The best combo, imo, for most urban tree surgery is a 7.5 tonner and a 10 inch chipper. Site clearances, forestry work, parks and estates are a different story. I'm sure there is the perfect work for a mog setup, but I cant think of anything that cant be done better with specialised equipment. I think the appeal of the mog is as an all-in-one package that does everything. However while they are adequate at everything I think they fail to excel at anything.

I dont like mogs because they are too expensive for what they are. Definition of a mog: A cross between and truck and a tractor, that does neither job well, breaks down a lot, and is either ancient or extremely expensive, or both. I do have a small soft spot for landys, as they do the job they were designed to do, going off road, and they do it well, until they break down. Having said that, I have never owned one.

Either is good. Re: the beard thing The quantity and quality of facial hair seems to rise and fall, possibly in conjuction with the phases of the moon. I believe this may hold the key to something very profound. If only we can understand the reasoning behind the removal and subsequent regrowth of beard, we may be much closer to understanding what exactly motivates the bearded treeman, or Homus arboreus beardyanus

:elefant: Awesome to the max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :elefant:

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha, thats dedication for you! Personally, I eat my breakfast in the truck on the way to work. Much safer, although spreading jam on the croissants and changing gear simultaneously can be tricky.

I hope your missus doesnt have the same rules!

That should be your new avatar pic Ed, ditch the ugly sloth you've got at the mo!
