  1. Depends how you use it, you can still use the lower ds or bridge for a secondary attachment.
  2. I have taught you well.
  3. If you can spin it by hand when it's connected to a hydraulic service then the seals are shot.
  4. Could do with a bit more chrome....... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  5. Interesting short piece on blue tits starting to feed on camerara larvae, not heard about that before. Now where can I buy a big sack of blue tits?
  6. They turn red after you fill them.
  7. 1. Restricted 2. 6 weekly 3. Around £75
  8. I think it shows who is buying new pickups, mainly well paid reps and businessmen who are mostly driving solo. Perfectly possible to get a bench seat in, but it means the driver has less room for his right elbow.
  9. Is that really something to be proud of? I cant remember what number I am, but I'm pretty sure its high teens or low 20's
  10. I hope she put a clear top coat on or that will all chip off in no time.
  11. What hitch/cord/ rope are you using, and do you have a spliced eye on the rope?

    An operators course should certainly include daily checks, more advanced servicing/repairs isn't necessarily appropriate to training an operator though.

    What else can you do with a chipper other than chip branches? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  14. Good point, if you swap the hoses over does it rotate the other way?
  15. Seals could be shot, you can have them rebuilt. Either try an agricultural engineer if you have a good one locally or send it to a valmet dealer.
  16. Nothing gory, its actually a cute video of a big basket of labrador puppies sleeping in the sun.
  17. If they passed their B test on or after 19th Jan 2013 1. Driving licence rules and what you can tow The rules on what you can tow are different depending on when you passed your driving test. Licences issued from 19 January 2013 From 19 January 2013, drivers passing a category B (car and small vehicle) test can tow: small trailers weighing no more than 750kg trailers weighing more than 750kg, where the combined weight of the towing vehicle and the trailer isn’t more than 3,500kg If you want to tow a trailer weighing more than 750kg, when the combined weight of the towing vehicle and trailer is more than 3,500kg, you’ll have to pass a further test and get B+E entitlement on your licence. You’ll then be able to tow trailers up to 3,500kg. Licences held from 1 January 1997 If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997 and have an ordinary category B (car) licence, you can drive either: a vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes or 3,500 kilograms (kg) Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) towing a trailer of up to 750kg MAM (with a combined weight of up to 4,250kg in total) a trailer over 750kg MAM as long as it is no more than the unladen or ‘kerb’ weight of the towing vehicle (with a combined weight of up to 3,500kg in total) For anything heavier you need to take a category B+E driving test. Licences held before 1 January 1997 If you passed your car test before 1 January 1997 you are generally entitled to drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to 8.25 tonnes MAM. This is the weight of a vehicle or trailer including the maximum load that can be carried safely when it’s being used on the road. You also have entitlement to drive a minibus with a trailer over 750kg MAM.

    You must have training, and be able to show evidence that training has taken place. A certificate of competence is a good way to demonstrate this, however there are other ways of doing it, ie an in house training procedure.
  19. Amorak is made in Argentina, although they have recently started production in Hanover. The engine is the VW 2.0 BiTDI. Not sure if they share the production line in Argentina?
  20. Any of these really. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK3dq4th9xw]Scania V8 Film Mix - Loud Pipes Saves Lives! HD - YouTube[/ame]
  21. Nope, VW. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  22. Cant see it from behind the steering wheel.
  23. The current model ranger is pretty big, getting on for F150 size. How often will you tow your trailer fully loaded? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  24. Precisely, all bound together with a metal band. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
