  1. I know it has been done: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/large-equipment/21153-got-myself-log-splitter-last-2.html Does anyone know the flow rate and pressure a TW 190 should be able to produce. Our tractor that we currently use is 50l per min and 180bar. But using a 160hp tractor to run the splitter seems excessive and would like to split without the tractor.. The powerpacks all seem to be only 30l per min and would presumably not have the flow and be slow...
  2. Office has lots of templates if you have word
  3. We have use for experienced freelance climbers, fair rates of pay. Based between Derby and Nottingham: email: [email protected] 01332875869
  4. We took the seats out, blanked out windows and removed seatbelts from our land cruiser and registered it as a Van. Cheaper insurance, and tax efficient. Also cheaper and more comfortable then a LR.
  5. Cheers, how do you rate them. I know they won't be a full on 4x4 but they have to be OK across a wet field?? They are plated for 4.6 tonnes Internet searching reveals the chassis cab can carry 2,735kg so I guess they must weigh 1,900kgs. Which if I am right compares with a transit at about 1,500kgs. Contemplating downplating for use as a third vehicle but I guess the load would be non-existent..
  6. Has any one used one for arb work? Any idea how much they weigh?
  7. As others had said, this is wrong! You have to do one but it doesn't have to be recorded unless you have more then 5 employees.. But if it all goes pair shaped then it is going to be difficult to prove you did one if it isn't recorded.
  8. I wish you would make your mind up:001_tongue: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/large-equipment/13123-wee-chipper-club.html
  9. We had differing advice when we downplated. Initially were told we needed to make physical changes with lots of costs.. Were then told it was a form and £160 ish quid, in the end it was the £28 and Vg10.. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/arb-trucks/55796-iveco-daily-5-2t-unladen-weight-2.html
  10. You must do one for every job, if there are over 5 employees it needs to be recorded. Help becoming an ARB Approved Contractor Even if you don't want to be an approved contractor, there are useful templates.. Including SSRA and Generic RA Who says the AA never did anything for you... second time tonite this page has been linked..
  11. I've and orange one would prefer yellow.
  12. I must have been on arbtalk to long, every thread seems to have been covered.. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/climbers-talk/32894-kids-tree-climbing-harness.html
  13. Iveco daily. 6.5 ton down plated to 6 ton, tows our 2.2 ton chipper. Reasonable load and legal on an old folks licence. Loads of posts on here about it.
  14. Do a search for grcs. Most users are massive converts.
  15. If it is Derby City. They seem to be having issues at the minute. I've found constant calling and emailing produces results. Going to appeal doesn't help as that takes even longer...
  16. Cheers, I guess that is the way I will go.
  17. Biking can be dangerous.. Especially cyclocross if your used to mountain bikes. Seven stitches in the head, titanium plate in collar bone.. Not checked my bike yet..
  18. What have people found best in reclaiming unpaid invoices from commercial clients who are slow to pay? We have got one company owes us £2500 and keep promising to pay but never delivering.. It has been going on for some months now. I am NOT interested in threats of violence etc... Legal methods. Small Claims Court Debt collectors Solicitors letters What are the costs involved. What has worked best.
  19. These works for us! 3.5 ton trailer on the back of LR gives us a good load.
  20. We had another one today but a cat this time! It was a successful rescue to!
  21. Any plans to run one in the Midlands?
  22. D L-J, asked me for feedback so IF YOU HAVE READ the book I am sure he would be interested in your views. Pretty sure he is an arbtalk member. I came across the term RVT about ten years ago and think it the best way to reduce trees. From the looks of many reductions I see many tree surgeons have never come across the techniques. It's not rocket science but IMO trees look and respond better then the lopping which is often called a reduction. Many in the industry (including the BS3998) seem to have become very anti reduction. While I agree on the whole and often advise clients against reducing trees, I also believe that urban trees useful life expectancy can be extended using such techniques.
  23. David Lloyd-jones's E book - Tree Morphogenesis Book 1 Reduction via thinning is currently free as a download from amazon. Not sure how long it will be free.
  24. Isn't alder supposed to be good for use in water.
  25. I did say "wouldn't it be easier to shoot it." Apparently it's the 4 or 5th bird the guy has arranged tree surgeons to rescue. Normally they charge 40-50 quid.
