Thank you very much for your replies certainly gives me a lot to consider. Many thanks

We have a U1200 with the original springs. I know Atkinson do a heavy duty replacement. Has anyone fitted these and has it made much difference. We carry our processor around a fair bit and she sits down a fair way before it gets airborne! Many thanks Jay

temporary roadway for crane in Suffolk. Any suggestions?
Jay replied to Jay's topic in Cranes and Mewps
they have pretty much just left me to sort it. Said it will be a 50ton crane 3 meters wide and thats about it. They have mentioned trackway. I always thought it would be something crane companies could do in house. -

Quintos have said they cant provide anything only the feet pads. I am also still waiting for the quote from 3 weeks ago. -
I have a job with a 50ton crane coming up. The crane needs to sit half on grass and half on a private tarmac driveway. I need approximately 30m for a straight drive in and out. Would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions. We can transport and lay the mats if this is an option anywhere. Cheers

how much is the radio set?

we had a td4 commercial on a 02 plate got upto 180k miles. would defiantly recomend. Cheap and economical run about.

cheers for all your input chaps. The cost isn't so much the issue as losing the benefits of having implements covered. We will just have to see how we get on.

I appreciate this and understand the reasoning. However I can't understand how it can be so different for for me as the previous owner did the same work with it and is also a tree business. Guess its just the weird and wonderful ways of insurance! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I tried this as well however they weren't playing game and said if they can't do it we can't. Just seems ridiculous the mog couldn't be more ag if you tried.

So we recently purchased a unimog U1200 full ag spec registered as ag vehicle etc. When I went to insure it with NFU on a trctor policy I was told it couldn't be done due to it being used for a tree and landscaping business. This means that I have had to put it on our fleet policy which is fine but is more expensive and you lose all the benefits for implements etc. How does everyone else get around this. The previous owner did the same job pretty much and he had it insured on a tractor policy. Im trying to insure it through the same insurer and they still wont do it. Can anyone recommend another insurer for this. I don't really want to move from NFU but can see it causing issues on the fleet policy. The mog will do a bit of ag work from time to time and I also move ag kit about for others which wouldnt be insured through the fleet policy. Cheers Jay

We have GRP sides. Heavy but hard wearing and look tidy. As someone else surggested I think the cheapest way is to buy any old box body and cut sheets from it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Even if you are matching the speed limit as soon as people see a tractor there only aim is to overtake you. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

All depends how it is maintained our 520+ has just clocked 1000hrs and is still running as good as new. It is greased probably to often and we recently changed the bushed and pins in the boom and headstock. It's also stored inside over night and is washed and even gets a bit of polished fairly regularly. I wouldn't expect to lose to much on it in the 3 years we have had it.

Price isn't everything and a lot of people appreciate that and are happy to pay more for a good service. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

I got some from a Timberwolf dealer which had Allen heads. Chaps at Timberwolf said it should have had the torx ones in. Can't see what difference it makes really. Never had a problem with the torx heads though just make sure the heads are nice a clean and give the bit a bit of a tap in. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

this is the avant and power harrow. Does a great job. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -

Jay replied to EnglishSheep's topic in Landscaping
I have used a similar attachment on our avant powered directly off the avant. I personally think a power harrow with stone burier does a better job. They are awkward in smaller areas and you end up with a lot of stones etc to find a home for. A power horrow leaves most of it underneath. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk -
We have never had any major problems with domestic. Commercials are a regular problem. I find the worst is property management companies that will invoice their client for your work first wait for them to pay and then pay you 2 weeks later. In the past we have waited months. Becomes difficult with landscaping work as you can be waiting on tens of thousands after materials. Our invoice system enables you to automatically send reminders. If you send them one everyday they soon get pissed off and pay up. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

Navara D40 long way down here. Great truck, not great for towing or loading up but I think it just needs some heavy duty leaf springs. So handy being able to fold up the back seats and is a very comfortable truck. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
