If its patches or tufts of dead in an otherwise healthy crown then its most likely squirrels, a quick climb and look for bark gnawing damage will tell you for sure.
-
Suitable yard, and keep drivers hours records. Not a big deal really.
-
Cheers Matt!

What do you use the machines for?
-
Total minefield. Short answer is you can do anything you like, and you will never have a problem unless you get stopped. Then its down to whether you can give an explanation that satisfies whoever has stopped you, VOSA in particular tend to take a dim view of rule bending (as they see it).

Thats a Steadicam, been around for years.

I think red liquorice boot laces would make a great sling, I am happy to splice up and destruction test said sling if someone will supply the raw materials.

Re-reading your original post, how much bigger would you want to go and what is your budget?
-
Some of the older greenmechs were terrible, but the Quad Chip is head and shoulders above any other machine in its class IMO.
-
On a similar note, I believe Mitsubishi refused to repair some blown engines on L200s that had been used for constant towing on the grounds that they specify shorter service intervals for vehicles that tow a lot. Also worth checking out.
-
How much of the power actually ends up at the cutter head? Generally hydro drive systems loose a fair bit.
-
Worth it just so you are familiar with the test format, especially the stuff in the yard, and what they are looking for. For instance the reversing manouver is pretty easy, but they want you to finish with the end of the trailer in a 2 foot long box, without nudging the end barrier. A good instructor will show you how to do this without leaving the drivers seat.
-
I wouldn't recommend it, the test is reasonably demanding and an instructor will give you lots of tips, without which I don't think I would have passed first time. A couple of hours tuition will cost about the same as a test anyway.

I used to use Rodgers in worsley, just off the east lancs road.
-
That will be why he's selling the chipper then, jobs finished!

Late model d22 navaras had well documented engine problems, a few minutes on google should clue you up. For the money you are talking I would go ranger. Are you sure you can get child seats in the back of a supercab? I had to go for a double cab as there just isnt that much room in the supercab. Booster seat might be ok though.
-
Are you using Chrome?
-
Yup, that's me!
-
Just a word of caution, if you set the prv too high it can damage other components, particularly ram seals. Many of the mass produced rams are only rated to 210 bar, but the powerpack will more than likely put out more than that. The prv is there for a reason.
-
I generally give a verbal, then email a PDF. The written copy is more for my benefit, as I have a terrible memory and a habit of writing prices on old envelopes and then loosing them.
-
Price is not the only deciding factor, especially on pruning work, even with new clients.
-
Surely no-one is still sending clean timber or chip to landfill? I couldnt afford to pay for that even if I wanted to.
-
Wild stab in the dark, Ashby-de-la-Zouch. There used to be a biscuit factory there where you could buy big boxes of assorted broken biscuits for about £5, if they are still there I could be quite tempted.
-
Sounds like the end of the rod blown off to me, I had that happen on my crane log grab.
-
If you put all that kit in one container you are going to struggle to lift it.
