Any vehicle or combination of vehicle and trailer with a MAM of over 3500kg requires an o licence. (except light trailers weighing 1020kg unladen)
-
Powerlines?
-
Use a cow hitch, great for using up excess sling.
-
Looking for an extra pair of hands as and when required, common sense, ppe and transport essential. PM me or ring me, 07875 388674.

http://www.onboardweighing.co.uk/onboard-weighing.php Get the remote option, take it up the tree with you and you'll know exactly when to stop cutting!
-
I use the smiley face system, look at your leaf springs, if they are making a smiley face it's good, frowny face bad!
-
Not difficult, but not cheap. Google onboard weighing. The system uses load cells to measure the weight and gives you a digital readout in the cab. Fairly common on newer hgv tippers.

Try Mozza (Liam) Pm me if you want his number. -
You don't need a reason to remove a tree in a CA.
-
Temporary fencing would probably be the TO's preferred solution. Why not contact them and see what they say? Only downside for you I can see is that they might suggest fencing permanently rather than felling the tree.
-
Is it an ART or a homemade? Pic would help.
-
Take your prop to a specialist machine shop and they should be able to lengthen it for you. I had one shortened and rebalanced for my 18 tonner, cost about £70. That prop is about 100mm diameter, I imagine yours is a bit smaller!
-
Go the whole hog and make it a 150 then! Big tool box and bigger chip box!
-
One of the firms I sub to is buying a 22 metre trailed niftylift that weighs 3.2 tonnes and has clip on electric motors for moving it around, so it is possible. Don't have any other info on it sadly.
-
A deadeye tied with a cow hitch is pretty much as quick as a whoopie sling. I would not use a loopie to attach a block personally, don't trust them in critical applications.
-
His laptops broken, overload of dirty videos apparently. He is ok though.
-
You assumed correctly See below.
-
It's off Steves facebook page.
-
Something like this perhaps? You did say you wanted something different!
-
I thought that was standard operating procedure for you guys?!
-
I'll wait until the electric chipper comes out as well.
-
Or chip in a pile and get a telehandler for a day and sell the chip. Or stack the brash in a pile and get it chipped. Depends how much room you have to play with though. I used to use Anglia Recycling, who were very reasonable (£18 per tonne plus haulage and £17 a month for bin rental), but they have been taken over and the tonnage rate started to creep up.
-
I think you misunderstood my point.
-
Why are you looking for advice after you bought it? Bit late to tell you it's overpriced rubbish and not to touch it with a bargepole. (if that were the case)
