  1. Or get a groundie to walk ahead and check the terrain.
  2. If you meant front wheel drive, then I wouldnt bother for tree work.
  3. Always a good selection at the Cheffins auction. Cheffins - Unsold Lots - 12th November 2012
  4. They do hold their money well, if its looked after you cant really go wrong.
  5. Just bought one for my groundie, no complaints so far.
  6. O rig also works well without spliced eyes.
  7. If company policy is no non ce marked splices then making one is damaging the rope, especially as it will only be cut off come loler time. Anyways this is getting off the original point of the thread a bit.
  8. Tie the bowline long and it won't interfere with the hitch too much, and larks foot the biner on to the bowline if possible to keep it aligned. Still not as good as a spliced eye though.
  9. Not sure I get your point Andy?
  10. In that case I'm surprised you didn't get a bill for damaging your employers kit.....
  11. Just cut them off without asking? I'd be sending him a bill.
  12. They dont like being run flat, sounds like you need to charge it more often. Trickle charge off the towing vehicle is the easiest way.
  13. You will need some pretty heavy duty cable to run the motor, at least 50mm2, and you'll need about 20 metres of it to get from your truck battery to the trailer. That plus a decent fuse and some conduit will set you back about £150, probably cheaper to buy a new battery. Easy enough job to do though.
  14. Just blown around, not off.
  15. Peter

    088 woes!

    I think he meant the cylinder is AWOL, even you couldn't redeem a non existent cylinder!
  16. http://www.fsb.org.uk/rates Less than my annual bank charges with hbos.
  17. Co-operative FSB account, yes all day to day transactions are free.
  18. I can do a tool box too, there are a couple of different options for secure tool storage.
  19. If your asking about converting a double cab to a king cab, then then it's a waste of time and money, trade it in for the vehicle you need.
  20. Really?! So wearing ppe means you can ignore safe working distances? And how exactly is a chainsaw jacket going to prevent cuts to hands?
  21. Yes..
  22. Thats a pretty good payload for a small truck. I take it you downrated it for driver licence reasons? It should be plated to tow 3.5 tonnes.
  23. Its not specifically mentioned in the letter, not 100% sure tbh. Although I should point out that its 4250kg, as in 3500 MAM vehicle towing 750kg MAM trailer or another combination as long as its within the towing capacity of the vehicle and trailer doesnt weigh more than towing vehicle.
  24. He should have made two so you'd have a spare.
  25. Minimum safe working distance for a chainsaw is 5 metres, or twice length of longest cut section, whichever is greater.
