Fitting spotlights to the roof is why your having trouble seeing on dip beam because your eyes are adjusted to the reflected light from the top bonnet/wings etc when on main beam, also any light fog or mist causes it to glair up in front of the windscreen, To much main beam light is contributing to you eyes having to adjust to less light on dip. There must be an element of night blindness given I find standard sealed beams more than enough and spend my time driving mostly on dip beam.

set the aim of your headlights right & find out if you suffer night blindness! aim is given in %, thus if it says 1.5% then for each 1m from the headlight it drops 1.5cm, so at 5m that would be 7.5cm that the dip beam is below the centre of the headlight. Find a flat bit of ground, mark out either 5m or 10m from the glass of the centre of the headlight lens, find the distance from the ground to the centre of the headlight lens and mark this same distance on a plank of wood, calculate the drop from the percentage for the 5m or 10m and mark this line that distance beneath the other line, put you lights on dip beam and hold the plank with the relevant end on the ground at the 5m or 10m point, the cut-off of the upper edge of the intense part of the dip beam should be on the lower line, if not adjust the head lights so the dip beam is on or just beneath the lower line. Your lights are then correctly set.

so are you having pork chops?

Just remember if you have £1000 in your account that allows the bank to lone >£9000 of money they create out of thin air (or lone out £900 & retain £100), as the law only requires banks to hold <10% of there portfolio (your savings) in tangible moneys and the other 90% as debts created out of moneys the banks never had, thus there are extremely few banks that are capable of paying out all there customers tangible savings should they all want them.

I hear that there are a lot of nice trees and vast tracts of woodland near Fray Bentos

they were sold by FW (part of Superwinch now) for there FW525 etc, the chain goes over the bumper. the best off-road chocks were very like that but they had another ~1ft out in front with 2 extra spade lugs and folded flat in just the same way, they also had a loop so you could chain/strap the rear chocks to the front chocks that said chocks put all sorts of forces into the radius arms and trailing links and that’s not to mention the forces placed on the king-pins or track-rod etc!

If you carry a hand held blower in your vehicle 5.5 days a week which will weigh about 6.5kg with fuel and the tube and you work on average 48 weeks per year then you lose 1716kg of payload per year (staying within the law), thus the blower MUST blow more than 6.5kg of debris away AND lose per day to justify its loss in payload (time saved is not accounted for) If there are 375 teams each of which have one 6.5kg blower and work similar 5.5 days per week with it in there vehicle then 643.5 tonnes of loosed payload can be accounted for by blowers per year nationally. From the point of losing debris and saving payload a rake probably loses more in plane sight as a customer wont expect every chip removed with a rake but they will be more insistent if you use a blower, also a blower will move extra debris nothing to do with you so you are taking maybe 1kg of extra debris per day over what a rake would cause witch is ~99 tonnes extra nationally per year. So excluding “time” a rake is probably more efficient at losing stuff, loses less payload, causes less load taken away and doesn’t drink fuel and you can probably get 2 rakes and a broom for the same weight as 1 blower given there are normally 2 or 3 people per team. So in short blowers lose 643.5 tonnes of on vehicle payload per nationally and cause an extra >99 tonnes of debris to be taken off sites per year nationally, but then I don’t look at things like most people.

I don’t see why you have a problem using your processor without the splitter if you loaded 4 to 6 trusses on at a time, after all its not to hard to stack them vertically so they take up most of the width of the feed or to add a fixed packer to stop them moving about or to add a support to take any extra length that overhangs the feed.

They are good but its getting the oven just right so the pastry is done properly and not eather over or under done, Its got to be stake & kidney though! google maps - Fray Bentos

The council highways department will have to pick up the bill as is there apparatus that has clearly failed to distinguish 2 vehicles attach which is perfectly lawful, trailer have been got in the same way as have lorries because they don’t use full height optical beams which would pick up on a rope, pole or even a trailer A frame/drawbar.

They work ok, I have used one quite a few times, however you will find that if you can get a tractor in with a hedge cutter that will be faster, reach higher and will generally do a better job of hedges and verge. Where they do fall flat on there face is there hydraulic power requirement and how unless you use a bigger 360 you will constantly find yourself working from the top of something down and constantly modulating the breaker circuit with your foot as your moving rams/sluing etc which is why you work down hill when cutting so the arm uses gravity thus is not robbing pressure/flow like if you tried to work razing the arm, the other advantage if you used a bigger 360 is you would be able to track the at a good speed machine wile cutting and making small adjustments to the arm rather than just creeping at most wile cutting. To get the best out of them you have got to be well coordinated on a digger at any reach especially if your cutting above ground and need to maintain shape. Another note is by the time you have turned a 2.5t 360 90deg to its tracks and razed the dipper arm to cut anything above 1m high you are actually wider than a tractor with a hedge cutter!

He advertises the crates as 500kg/2m3 The fact that he then is selling by weight & volume would mean his stacked boxes MUST be 2m3 internally and must be 500kg. However he dose have “E & OE” at the base of each page as a means to limit liabilities over clerical errors.

it dose say on his site under "Website usage terms and conditions" he also says in respect of his clames

If you don’t fix it to something how do you expect e.g. 2t of land rover to stay still? Chocks are better for level or down #1 hill pulls but they are not to hot on pulls angled upward #1 (#1 note the maximum working angle of your fairlead) or soft ground and if you want to do it without fixing the vehicle to something then you need multiple anchor points with multiple snatch blocks and a very long winch rope or an extension rope to multiply the affects of e.g. 2t #2 of land rover threw the system as that is the limiting factor rather than the winch pull rating, but if you have got you calcs wrong a few hundred kg’s your e.g. land rover will be dragged to the first snatch block and all the time as the tree is falling backwards it is becoming heavier and building momentum so will snap ropes as soon as anything else in the system comes to a sudden stop. #2 A 2t land rover on wet grass is only going to generate ~35% of its mass as adhesion via locked wheels so it is only going to be effectively 700kg without any upward pull reducing that further, chocks will improve on that BUT irrespective of that any surface including dry tarmac with chocks the adhesion generated will ALWAYS be less than the mass unless there is a ground anchor in play or fixing to stop any movement. If your worried about putting stresses on your vehicle then attach strops etc to the winch bumper and run them between the inside of the wheels and the chassis so the come out of the back with a spreader to stop them being pulled together at the rear of the chassis then fix them to something. After all what kind of “vehicle winching directional felling” are we talking about hear, I.e. pulling big trees over into a field on the edge of a wood where if it dose go backwards its only a fence or another tree of little value being flattened or pulling a vertical tree that would otherwise just sit there and would need wedges or a jack etc or are we talking homes on 3 sides and pulling it into a narrow space when its leaning back 10deg and you have left a thick hinge for lateral stability?

There would be to many Dave’s remember

The winch should be the weakest point but that will only be the case if the vehicle its mounted to is held in position, also you should have the maximum amount of rope paid out to maximise your pull and also so the winch doesn’t go on to the next rope layer until the tree has gone over centre. e.g. my old FW525 winch with the PTO set at 85lbf would drag my land rover & my u1600 across grass unless all the wheel on the mog and land rover were chocked and even then it would slide a bit until the chocks bedded in. The WF winches on the front of mogs will easily pull a mog across tarmac with all the wheel locked or over wheel chocks, the same is true of most land rover winches in that they will pull the LR over chocks, so fix it to other trees or to a vehicle that is at least 50% heaver than the winch can pull with all its wheels locked/chocked

they are ~13t 180hp (500ci turbo) vs. MK's @ 9.6t 100hp (330ci) or MJ's @ 105hp (330ci turbo) they have a tilting cab and PAS (unlike mk/mj) Bedford trucks/AWD is part of Marshall’s of Cambridge AKA: Marshall Group - Land Systems. (or they were 10 years ago!)

Get some new wheels made and either go down to 24” rims or up to 28” rims, a 16.9” wide tyre is only ~420mm wide so a 445mm or 490mm in e.g. 24” would end up about the same diameter with a wider footprint. Sure it may cost a little more initially but 24” and 28” tyres are much more prevalent and appear on the second hand market more often.
