If you try to run a 3hp motor off a 13 amp plug your going to have problems.....

Yeah, the little machine mart one I have now has been great, but others haven't fared so well, I think it's the luck of the draw.

Don't bother, by the time you down rate it you'll have no payload. You will still need a no licence even you decide not to use the tacho.

Small compressors are unreliable and will generally only last a couple of years. The only really quiet ones are the screw type like Hydrovane, but they are going to set you back about £2k. I would buy a smallish direct drive with a tank and only fire it up when you need it, an hours saw cleaning once a week and it's only going to run for 10-15 minutes of that time.

Yeah, some Gatso can tell the difference between cars and hgvs, I got done several years ago doing 45 in the lorry on a single carriageway a road national speed limit.

I also find the extensive training on skyline setup and operation comes in handy on winching and extraction work too.

Section 60 "Therefore if the fungus on T1 had led to an arboricultural investigation, I consider it improbable that it would, in turn, have led to a recommendation that T1 was likely to cause damage to the property."

If you need to set off in a hurry, hold it on the footbrake with your left foot, mash the accelerator to the floor with your right, and release the footbrake is the revs get up to about 3.5k. It will take off like a cork coming out of a champagne bottle. Tried it on the test drive, salesman looked at me a bit funny but didn't say anything. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Midland Road Springs do a heavy duty set with an extra leaf, that's what I run on my navara and they are nice and stiff.

Variable width tracks would be good on a very narrow machine.

Contract lift is where the crane company plans the lifting part of the job, specifies the machine and slings/chains etc, takes care of all the risk assessments and liability. It will cost at least twice as much as a hire. If you hire it then you are responsible for risk assessments, planning and insurance etc. However, any hire company and driver worth their money will work with you to make sure it gets done right. If you havent done much crane work before getting an experienced climber is as Mark suggested will be a big time and worry saver.

Sandals and socks - comfort and style or crime of fashion?
Peter replied to Big J's topic in The Lounge
I couldn't care less about fashion, if you to wear socks with sandals for them to be comfortable then you're wearing the wrong sandals to start with, get some decent and properly fitting sandals and you'll wonder why you ever thought wearing socks in them was a good idea. -

I would rather wear stockings made from my own large intestine. -
Pretty sure Reaseheath College still do them, not too far from you.
