Absolutely!!! I feel its a good thing to see how passionate some people are about tree care......let it run:001_smile:

What he said:001_cool: Good call in my opinion Dave, and nice work. Not sure about nelly- something about being in a basket 90foot up would give me a shiver:scared1:

A bit like felling at upto 2.5 bar length? I nearly always fell larger stuff like that, but you can still dogtooth the fell, but i doubt i would ever use it on a winch pull.

Oops, just posted at same time as you jim. It would be interesting if there was a link about the correct taxation classes of the defenders though matt. Do you have any info mate?
-
Think i stirred up a hornets nest:laugh: If i read correctly the new car taxation only applies to vehicles registered on or after 1st march 2001, so i dont think there will be any 300tdi's in the new bracket.

Yeh not sure on van/commercial stuff. I only checked mine as it it came up on the link shown. And yes its on a standard car test.

The government do have a point trying to make gas guzzlers pay, but as you point out Dean, it doesnt relate to mileage. I do not object to paying up for something that is classed as a luxury,(such as running my V8 landy that i class as a toy) but what i would much prefer to see is an exemption or allowance for essential users. I wonder if this is at all possible for the government to introduce?

If you get stuck Nige, try John Woodmansey, if he cant help himself im sure he will know someone who can. You could also drop Gomad a PM and see if he's intersted. -
Mine is a double cab Chris, 2002 model. I entered it as van, i dont think it makes much difference! Ive not been able to find a definate emission table for defenders until this one- these search engines seem to get a bit lost when it comes to landys:scared1:

Just found out for sure what my TD5 defender will cost to tax over the next few years. Renewal is in september, and after lots of speculation about what will cost what, my defender will be; 2007: £180 (runs out sept) 2008; £220 2009; £440 2010: £455 The td5 in a defender emits upto 299g/km, so its way over the top threshold of 255g/km. Therefore i believe all other td5`s will be in the same bracket. Work out your emissions on here; http://www.smmtco2.co.uk/co2search2.asp Then look on here; http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524 http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Nl1/Newsroom/Budget2008/DG_073093

Brings back memories, we had one as a horsebox in the mid - late 70`s. There were 4 cylinder and 6, the 4 was a bit under powered. I think they were rated at either 10 tons gross or 7.5. You could get the 10 tonner de-reted by removing helper springs then drive it on a car license. Ours was an ex United Carriers truck with a gearbox out of a coach- it would do 80 mph- scary:scared1: Lovely old truck there Mike:001_tt1:

We were once on a job, chipping on a shared drive. The other property sharing the drive had some builders working. One of the builders asked; "will that thing take a brick?":scared1:

Lol, I recon it was a year old sapling, therefore my guess of 140 (9 years out) was nearest:bootyshake:

So Steve, are you going to give the game away yet then?

Does anyone know if the caddys will fit any shank? I have kleins that have a very similar shank to buckinghams, but perhaps they are universal anyway.....
-
Ive carried one for a few years dean............wouldnt like to think whats growing on it now:scared1:
-
I got that once, and the heap had buckets of soil tipped over it too:scared1: wasnt a problem though, just blew the last of our rakings under the heap and left the lot:sneaky2:
-
I had another customer rang me yesterday and said "can you come and lopp my tree?" "i think i should come and have a look at it first and give you a price" "oh, it will be fine, just come and do it...ive had blokes do my trees before so i know how much it should cost"
-
Thats the one Nige, last i saw he was on the verge outside Bentley village. He has a white tranny with a set of roof ladders strapped on it- i guess if he does roofing and deals in scrap he must be a "tree surgeon" also:sneaky2: I did notice his sandwich board also said "free collection". Theres no wonder, has anyone seen the price of scrap lately:scared1:
-
The other day i rang a customer and told him we would be there by 9, he said "I could be up by then" The next day rang the next customer and told him the same and he said "You dont start first thing then?"
-
