Maybe I am synical but it reads like something an Internet marketing company would write to push traffic to a Web site. It is from a new user. I would be amazed if it was cheaper to ship goods from the UK to the states and I am not sure I have ever seen a generic "discount code" for any arb supplier.

Is this not some fake advertising post by gudtharts.

THREATS, is another one to look at. I find it nice and simple to use. Forbes-Laird Arboricultural Consultancy http://www.flac.uk.com

There are quite a few 130s about at the moment. This fits your requirements. When I started advertising there were few on the market and those advertIsed for silly money. I didn't really want to sell but I would if I could get crazy money. I dropped the price several times down to £10k but still not much interest. Prices looked to have dropped and far more on the market now. 2013 Land Rover Defender 130 Tipper Truck cab 2.2 TDCI Arborist tipping body 4x4 WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for 2013 Land Rover...

To be honest from the adverts I saw I thought it would be worth a lot, but we have not had much interest. Had I known I probably would have not bothered spending so much fixing the chassis and bulkhead. Feedback from some has been we need to spend even more to make it look smart, but I am not sure I want to put more money into it in the hope of making a return. I am not a used car dealer... It has basically be sat for the last 2 years hardly doing anything. If someone wants it I will sell but I might just hang on to it and see if the US exportable market is a thing.. It needs the original chassis and engine which it has, but I think to be actually valuable it needs to be the crewcab tomb raider look.. https://youtu.be/dpFjdm1VdHg

Ours is a 2000 and done 110k. But it is a genuine vehicle that will probably still be on the road in another 20 years... Exportable to the US in a year or 2 so we might just park it up..

Has anyone used tracked MEWPs as an overhead anchor? I have used a vehicle mount in the past when spraying bunkers. In that case it was only there as backup but we have to remove some vegetation from a derelict building and would like to use the MEWP above as an anchor allowing us to work below using a rope and harness. It would not be used for lifting and no weight other than the climber would be applied. It would be useful to actually abseil off the MEWP down into the building. The waste could go out from the bottom once cut. The IPAF says not recommended and only in "exceptional circumstances" with express written approval of the manufacturer. (I have emailed the manufacturer) https://www.ipaf.org/sites/default/files/2022-02/Do not use MEWPs as an Overhead Anchor (TE-997-0721-1-en).pdf

My first post listed the main benefits as I see them. I am no zealot for the arb association but as evidence of its worth: From a Borough Council tender: 2.2.2 In order to be considered for this Contract, Suppliers must be for the lifetime of the Contract, an Aborcultural Approved Contractor. You might see it as an old boys club, but it is a club that anyone can join and there are benefits of being a member.

You will not get a clear view on a web forum about the Arb Association. Some people are very anti it and can be VERY vocal and will become abusive and unpleasant and any discussion online normally ends in personal attacks. That seems to be the norm on web forums these days.. In my opinion there are very few people who care enough about the Arb Association to defend it against the sort of abuse you are likely to receive if you were to stick your head above the parapet to do so. In my opinion being an Arb Approved contractor is unlikely to do you any harm and there are a number of benefits as mentioned in my previous post. It is not perfect but I believe the benefits outweigh the cost. I would recommend you do not take to much notice of the naysayers, call Paul at the AA, have a chat and see if it works for you.

It is unlikely to make a difference with Mrs Miggins, who wants work doing for the cheapest price. It is a requirement for many councils and some larger organisations so is a necessity if you want that work. More informed (and arguably less price conscious) customers who want to instruct a company will be comforted knowing they are employing a professional company that has ticked lots of boxes. It is a fantastic way to ensure you are audited by an external company and that if things go pear shaped and you end up in court you can say you were working to best practice (nice to know if you are the employer). You get some nice stickers for the trucks. You get emails letting you know about tenders for tree work. It is NOT easy, you need to get lots of systems in place and the assessment day can be a very uncomfortable experience as someone will spend a day highlighting all the things you are not doing right. I think it is worth it. Others do not.

That makes sense. I always wondered why it existed as it did. To my mind the web based forums like arbalk were much more useable. I only used to occasionally look in on it, it is a different crowd from what you get here. Some very knowledgeable people especially re the legal side and often ended up in the archive when searching online.
-
The forum is still running there are a few posts most days although over 20 today.. The archive has gone I believe. There was discussion about the archive being moved over to arbtalk, I guess that was not discussed with you Steve.

Bigger is (almost) always better..

Currently in negotiations with insurance. So trying to figure out if it's worth buying from them.

I posted this on facebook, but thought I would add it here as different crowd. Any one interested in our "slightly" singed BC1000XL. Its a 2014 model, 550 hours. £64K + VAT if you wanted to order one in 2023. It was damaged by a fire in a container next to it. It was never actually on fire itself. Vermeer provided a report for the insurance but there are some pretty big ticket items on that list that I don't think are needed to get the machine operational. There might be other issues but we cannot test it in this state. We would be interested in part exchanging it for another chipper preferably tracked if any dealers are interested drop me a message. Interested to know what general people think its worth so feel free to discus but if you have an actual offer please email it. [email protected]

I believe I can resubmit unit 2 if its a fail, hopefully with guidance from course tutors. -
NEBOSH - Unit NG2: Risk Assessment Project
benedmonds replied to benedmonds's topic in Training & education
The results are still not back. Pretty confident on the unit 1 bit. Still not convinced what I did for unit 2 was right. Also think I put complete in 6 months, which may be a fail as they want a date.. -
THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!
- FOR SALE
- USED
Advertised this last year at a higher price as didn't really want to sell it, but we purchased another 4x4 and so not being used, it only did about 500 miles in it last year. Land Rover Defender 130 TD5 Tipper year 2000. 109,400 miles - MOT October 2023 Current owner since 2011 and it has been serviced annually even though only doing 4 or 5000 miles a year (till last year when only 500), The previous owner, owned it for 3 years also only doing 6,000 miles a year and also servicing it annually. Previous to that it was owned by Severn Trent water, fitted with a hiab and was used for installing manholes down farm tracks. Snorkel and full diff breather kit fitted. Discover STT Cooper tyres on modular wheels Wide arches Aluminium tipper body with full length toolbox Telescopic ram not scissor lift Roof top beacon Checker plate wing tops Milled aluminium gear knobs Adjustable tow hitch Winch bumper New seat covers and floor mats Over £3,600 spent last year repairing the chassis/bulkhead and sorting all the little issues, chassis is now in great condition and waxoiled. Please note it has been a working vehicle for 20 years. It has bumps and knocks, the paint is faded, the roof liner was sagging and has been stapled into place, the door locks are broken. But mechanically it has had regular fluid and filter changes it has not been pimped, chipped or messed with and as such it is a rare land rover. The TD5 is regularly called the ultimate land rover engine, reliable, dependable and repairable. You will struggle to find a more genuine and less abused Land Rover. It could go to straight to work or renovated. Video of it running on youtube: https://youtu.be/dpFjdm1VdHg£12,500
