What is this thing you speak off, "legal capacity"? I thought the mantra of "if it is on, it is gone!" was an industry standard!
-
I do wonder how engines will cope with EN10, and what additives will be needed for old engines which already need a lead replacement additive as they do not run well on unleaded?

I see that that loathsome little man, Cummings, is giving his bitter and twisted version of his history again. He is the type of employee that every HR person would be looking to employ in the future, doesn't carry out instructions, disobeys the very instructions he is instrumental in putting in place, gossips about senior managers out of work, whinges publicly when he doesn't get his way and blames everyone else for his own demise. I wonder if, as part of the job, he signed confidentiality agreements such as the Official Secrets Act?

I was in Dingwall last week and out on to the Black Isle, the Elms there have now been hit, scenery reminiscent of southern England some 30-40 years ago! And as you say, significant stands of ADB figure all over the place....
-
I reckon it is ADB....seen it all over the the country and think that that is into year 2/3....

Half inch Hazel coppice? Apart from the domestic crap things on three legs, any drum or disc type pedestrian chipper would love that stuff including all the leaves! A dream demo from a salesman's point of view! Sack the hire company!

Lovely truck, and I am a fan of the marque - this is the 8th LR since the early 80's and I learnt to double de-clutch in the first one registered in Hereford and Worcester. They can be hard work at times and unreliable, but then, I've spent a few days in the hands of the AA with Ford Ranger too! I've had a few of the plugs apart and found no corrosion in them, the earth in the osf wheel was knackered and replaced but still got a few issues which bug me! Perhaps I enjoy pain, suffering and expense!

She has 115k, the body hasn't been off to my knowledge but she has had some work done, telltale in screws, plastic body fitting clips and fixings etc. The park assist started getting intermittent then stopped altogether. I've check resistance of each sensor and the read pretty much the same, I can trace connectivity through the earths to the body but no joy. It would be fantastically rare for all 8 to fail at the same time! The nanocom reads "no voltage to the front" and no faults for the back.

I see that loathsome turd, Cummings, is spouting forth his bile again. Why doesn't he understand that his employer decided that he was unworthy and had to go? Whinging on is not going to get him a job anywhere!
-
Any members good auto electricians? Is the park assist module the same as fitted to Jag S Type units? If I swapped modules as I think mine is duff, is it complicated and needing a recode?
-
Get an M500, pushes itself. Technically, it pulls itself but that is semantics. Good tool, love the detachable fuel tank etc, but will it go through a 32" gate? The smaller units do gave there place.
-
Can you push a jensen around a back garden through a narrow gate way?
-
I'm not really up to speed on all the different payment methods myself, too "old skool!". But never talk paper bankers drafts or cheques before they can get checked and never pay for something you ain't viewed!
-
Personally, I'd rather support a closer economic community, even if it costs more......
-
I'm often shocked at how often at how often machines or aspects of machines are plagiarised. We saw tech drawings that came from GreenMech on a Chinese chipper site. Then there was the Jensen X track, the Jensen version of the Predator, that Barford chipper, Bandit and Auschip.......not to mention a brand of chipper based on a German made unit....
-
I'm always surprised how many tree people live in Shetland, Skye or some such plade who sell chippers etc and how many pay for stuff unseen by BACS or sell stuff and take a bankers draft on a Saturday afternoon and watch there goods disappear over the horizon!
-
Why would I have a memory of this pair doing something in the 70's? Anyone know if they made the charts back then etc?
-
Eliza Tynsley does a fair bit of iron mongery.
-
I reckon that the same farming family have took on one in Scotland on the M74 too. Pricey, but quality. I stopped today on the M6, Franklin? What a dire dive!
-
Start an Arb Machinery service centre Josh, you'll do well.....

My old Ranger did have a load of dpf issues, Ford did four, forced regeneration cycles one afternoon in an effort to make it work. They ended up fitting a new dpf in the end.
-
I heard a story about a tow tug tractor where the driver kept on hitting the 'delay' for a regen. Eventually, the thing would not work and the dealer had to get involved and on the advice of the manufacturer, it had to to an enforced, long term regen cycle. It was sat in the yard at full chat for a day and a half to clear it out! The exhaust was glowing red and it used a massive amount of fuel too!
-
Am I correct in that some modern trucks/cars, they use electronics to assist a driver in a snake? Nipping odd wheel brakes if this odd motion is suspected? I've only experienced sway a couple of times since I started driving 40 years ago and on each occasion it was down to poorly loaded trailers!
-
Some good points in that post! I usedto use my ancient 2 stroke DS on the rough bit that wfere long then push a mulching mower over to tidy up the hay crop! It could take mega thick cord for real heavy work!
-
We did this for a while, still got a couple of the trailers too. But the style of trailer meant a stupid long sentence necked drawbar which put the chipper way back and it was bloody heavy!
