    New Truck

    Looks like a nice clean bus. I've no experience of them personal. 2004/54 Nissan Cabstar 35.13 MWB Dropside Tipper 3.5t LOW MILEAGE | eBay
  2. Winter days are shorter, the weather is generally worse. The last thing I would want is people pushing more to have their work carried out in the winter months, I struggle to fit in the current demand as it is. Most work is carried out within the season its quoted, trees in leaf look bigger, so I don't really see an issue.
  3. Clearly you just wish to argue rather than see the point.
  4. Yes thats the point! They are being done for peanuts by the unskilled, because the equipment is cheap and available. I do still get some, but not like I used to.
  5. Thing is a few years back chippers were rare and expensive. When I First started I would not see another chipper from one month to the next, customers were intrigued when they saw mine, as they had never seen one before. These days it's very rare for me to go a day without seeing a another chipper, often see 2 or more. They are everywhere. As Mark says, this leads to all the easy jobs, the cream, where you would do it on the way home after another job or do 5 or 6 in a day and make really good coin are gone. 15 years ago I was making far more than I am now, it was great!
  6. No its a half heard term. Some numb nut hears someone with knowledge discussing "crown lifting" or "crown reduction" or even in the old days "crown thinning", but later can only recall the term "crown" so they use it in an effort to sound like they have a clue
  7. Thats not how diffs work, grip would stop the wheel, the other wheel on the same axel without resistance would spin.
  8. Looks like you are a Vos fan.
  9. Yes there is a central diff lock, but that simply takes you from one wheel drive (one wheel on the front or rear axel, which ever offers the least resistance, IE permanent 4X4) to two wheel drive, one front one back.
  10. Tyre pressure is the thing, you need tyres that you can let down very low so the tyre is flexing as you drive, this lets the mud fall out.
  11. Bang on!!! But why go for the little people? He should have gone for the fat cats, IMO.
  12. I'm pretty sure you're an employee of the Ltd Co.
  13. Exactly!!
  14. What an utterly rubbish budget:thumbdown: I guess thats what happens when there is zero opposition, the tory's just aren't even trying now. I think there may be some back peddling on the NI hike.
  15. No, they still both have round gullets, my understanding is that when filled with a square file you get a square gullet or am I missing something?
  16. Its worth rather less than you would like and no doubt rather more than the buyer want to pay, unfortunately.
  17. Very strange thread this I see no square ground chains, they both have round gullets. I really like the full chisel 020 chain, I've been asking my deal for just such a chain for years. But I find I seldom get more than half way through a chain before the snap:thumbdown: So I'm back on semi-chisel.
  18. I fear you are missing the point. If lots of people take antibiotics when its not absolutely necessary, we are all doomed. We already have bugs that no antibiotic can kill and no new antibiotics on the horizon. The more we use antibiotics unnecessarily, the more we advance the evolution of antibiotic resistant bugs:thumbdown:
  19. Looks like a great deal of it is Pop.
  20. Mine are the airstreams, I do suffer with cold feet generally, but with the Haix my feet always feel lovely
  21. I believe one can actually lead to the other, as in if you have troubles to deal with for long periods, your brain chemistry can change making the depression no longer a result of your problems, but THE problem, if that makes sense.
