there is a fine line between being stubborn and being stupid! but then you seam to have plenty of arrogance. Anyway it’s a desperate wages or desperate for wages, its your choice

I think you would now be rather silly now to use ANY brush cutter blade that is NOT made by the manufacturer of the specific brush cutter given the HSE say After all ANY manufacturer's is not going to approve ANY non-standard attachments made by a 3rd party given they the manufacturer of the specific brush cutter have NO control over production standards or quality etc thus ANY brush cutter should ONLY use attachments made by the brush cutter manufacturer and NOT ones made by ANY 3rd party.

no, but its not far off, as its a small face shovel, I.e. it digs by pushing the bucket away and up from the digger unlike a normal digger that digs by pulling the bucket down and towards the digger. An advantage of a face shovel it can also use a rock-drill or hammer etc at any height on a vertical face that it can reach.

If all the piping to the ram is 3/8” then there is very little to be achieved from using a 1/2” spool block as there would still be restriction in flow because of 3/8” pipes and fittings (though 3/8” pipe has slightly more flow than 3/8” valves/spool blocks/fittings) Even if you use a 1/2” spool block then because of the limitations of your splitter in “flow” it is doubtful you will achieve much extra flow anyway even if it was fitted with 1/2” pipe throughout (FYI 1/2” flow rate is ~70L/min) though you may gain a few L/min above 45L/min which my speed up no-load cycle time by 1 or 2 sec BUT the extra money you would have to spend to get that would be disproportional to any gains - thats if you get any at all! If you know the pump capacity or its volume per revolution and its speed you can calculate potential flow.

3/8" spool valves are normally limited to about ~45L/min (~9.85 gpm) by the size of internal porting. at the end of the day what everyone is missing is flow rate is just the speed that the ram will move it is NOT the power that the ram will exert which is governed ONLY by pressure which is regulated by the pressure relief valve in the spool valve block, so the PRV needs to be adjustable and set to the correct pressure to achieve the appropriate power from the ram.

Or the person who sells something via e.g. eBay then says VAT will be added but they aren’t VAT registered Or the people who say “VAT will be added to the final sale price” which is not permitted as the sale price MUST include the VAT

It’s a 416 with an om352 engine, the mog originally would have probably come from Europe as the American Case MB4/94 is a 406 underneath as is the Case SEE, as such the injection timing will be set up for DERV (EN590) in the EU which has a higher Cetane number (CN) than that of the USA (ASTM D975) which is similar to gas-oil (red diesel) over hear (excepting city gas-oil/ULSG which is to BS EN590), as such the injection timing really should advanced a couple of degrees to account for the longer ignition delay from a lower CN fuel thus allowing cleaner combustion, the other reason is om352 engines tend to run quite cool unless worked hard which combined with the above leaves residue in the exhaust system which is only burn off when worked hard which generally doesn’t happen when trundling about off-road. This is why over hear mogs running on ordinary red diesel smoke more and have slightly less power than they do when run on DERV or city gas-oil/ULSG White smoke = fuel injected at the wrong time which remains partly unburnt and vaporised which can condense in a cool exhaust and also stings your eyes and takes a bit of time to burn off under load. Black smoke = fuel injected at the right time but with under/over fuelling for the volume of air causing soot instead of vapour. (hence why blocked/restricted air filters and/or fuel filters or leaking inlet pipes on the pressure side of a turbo cause black smoke) With turbo when they are spooling up you expect a burst of black/grey/tan smoke as the volume of forced air changes vs. fuelling, also at some temperatures spooling turbo vs. injection timing and fuelling level cause the exhaust smoke to have a blue tinge to it much like when burning oil though no oil is being burnt. And lastly the compression used by youtube or prior to uploading can make smoke look thicker than it is or a slightly different colour than it was due to how compression algorithms work and the colour background

there must be a program on the mac that came with it that is like "mspaint.exe" or one that you can download that’s free you may need to look on some mac forums to find out but rotating images is a very basic function
-
rotate the photos befor you upload them if you have no installed programs to do it there is mspaint.exe that can do it and it comes with all windows OS start > all programs > Accessories > mspaint.exe or type mspaint.exe in start > run then hit enter remember to save them under a new name so you still have the old ones

So based on an 8h day which includes travailing the p/h cost is Valmet 6400 front loader with 11tonne botex trailer, 560tl trailer mounted crane £350 per day = £43.75 per hour and less than 8 hours on site/work. Valmet 6400 front loader with tp200 woodchipper £275 per day = £34.37 per hour and less than 8 hours on site/work. Valmet 6400 front loader with 31/2 tonne winch £225 per day = £28.12 per hour and less than 8 hours on site/work. You then seemingly want fuel cost on top and all the above is for an old Valmet 6400 which are ~95hp 4 cylinder and working somewhat less than 8h on site, I wish you luck though there are many fools about especially in arb now! Volvo 2.7 tonne digger £160 per day £210 with timber grab and rotator. = £20 per hour to £26.25 and less than 8 hours on site, Also a grab and rotator is hardly specialized or more importantly costly in comparison to the digger its on so to say £50/day is really a little wide of the mark, your rate for just the digger isn’t to far off but in realistic terms you would have to look at 10h on site for £160/day given what you can hire 2.7t diggers for per day and the amount of hours you can use it if you operate it yourself
-
how long is your "per day" also why is there £50 difference between a Volvo 2.7 tonne digger for digging and a Volvo 2.7 tonne digger with timber grab and rotator for lifting/stacking, digging will ware out a digger faster than lifting stacking which has much lower forces.
-
are they, have you factored in all the kit and the chippers and the Iveco 4x4 into the cost of your team along with your wages and admin costs, fuels and running cost along with cost of liability insurance etc and other things you don’t see but still cost the council.
-
they are ALL Entec even the orange TW ones Timberwolf is just a brand name of things made by Environmental Manufacturing (Entec)
-
I assumed because you were looking you probably weren’t paid out or it was just out of principle, I only said it in case you were paid out so you didn’t get your hopes up if that was the case
-
Not if you got paid out by an insurance company, it will be there’s now so you would have to give it to them or you would be committing an act of fraud/theft/dishonesty.
-
yes excepting a towing implement + vehicle attached to it or a composite trailer ("One trailer cannot tow another" is erroneous) or if you register your Land Rover etc with the DVLA as a Motor tractor
-
Because to say “ONE” would be inaccurate, to say “TWO” would also be inaccurate They are merely just quantifying the “exception” between the more normal “one” trailer only and the “two” as a specific exception for normal cars and lorrys Also they are trying to put it in layman’s terms in the PDF without going into highly complicated cross-referencing of numerous aspects of law and how they relate to each other which would make the PDF >10 times the size and very complicated as every definition would require every exception listed which for the layman would make it complicated to read/interpret. As an e.g. you correctly noted >20% of trailer mass being superimposed on the drawing vehicle is the start of something being classified as a semi-trailer, but as every law there is exceptions like its >35% for agricultural tractors/trailers or that for cars and trucks drawbar trailers can only impose less than <10% of the trailer mass or 1000kg (whichever is less) under EU/UK law thus there is a void between >10% and <20% of weight superimposed which captures drawbar trailers being classified as semi-trailers even though they are beneath the >20% weight superimposed but above the >10%/>1000kg
-
NO, look at a composite trailer and what it is, its 2 trailers classed as 1 ware it is specifically made up of a "converter dolly & a semi trailer" a converter dolly is a specific apparatus like what a towing implement is a specific apparatus, if you put 20% of the weight on anything else trailer wise other than a converter dolly it is STILL classed as 2 trailers, Denby Transport have the same problem with there LHV in that the VOSA and the police stop them going on the road. the law is quite explicit as is C&U etc, a towing implement + vehicle is classed as one trailer just as a composite trailer is classed as 1 trailer even though it is made out of 2 trailers, this is done by classification under C&U, thus a towing implement + vehicle is STILL only 1 trailer. and agri tractor can tow 2 composite trailers which is actually 4 individual trailers when separated. if you want to tow 2 trailers behind a car or truck then you MUST connect them together permanently which requires "significant time & tooling" to separate them and as such they then get classed as 1 trailer.

read things befor you post SEE 7 A heavy motor car or a motor car not described in item 1, 3 or 4 = 2 trailers if one of them is a towing implement and part of the other is secured to and either rests on or is suspended from that implement 1 trailer in any other case "4. Towing implements. A ‘heavy motor car’ or ‘motor car’ (e.g. the motor vehicle forming part of an articulated vehicle) may only draw one trailer. The exception to this rule is that such a vehicle may draw two trailers in situations where one of the trailers is a towing implement and part of the other is secured to and rests on or is suspended from that implement. A towing implement is defined in regulation 3 (of C&U) as: “a device on wheels designed for the purpose of enabling a motor vehicle to draw another vehicle by the attachment of that device to that other vehicle in such a manner that part of that other vehicle is secured to and either rests on or is suspended from the device and some but not all of the wheels on which that other vehicle normally runs are raised off the ground.” Towing implements are a device constructed and used for the special purpose of vehicle recovery. In recognition of this, regulation 4(4), item 7 in the table, and regulation 4(5) of C&U provide exceptions for such devices from the full requirements of C&U. These exceptions allow the device to be constructed and used in such a way that enables the recovery of broken down vehicles." a towing implement is a e.g. a towing dolly or simular

They don’t have a very good payload so there are better 6x6 out there with more payload and a lower unladen weight, also there are 6x6 trucks with better articulation in the rear bogie, as the MAN has individual coil-springs BUT no means for the axels to pivot around a common point with little friction, ergo it doesn’t take much of a bump or undulation for one axel to be in the air with no weight on it and the other axel to have all the weight on it. They also drink fuel thanks to the semi-auto.

err no 250 to 300 hours generally equates to 10000km or ~6211miles in servicing of machines which clock up both distance & hours, otherwise using your method a 250 hour service would equate to 15000miles which would require a SHPD/UHPD long drain oil, bigger filters able to cope with the particle load from combustion or auxiliary centrifuge filters which are empted mid service interval.

it looks like a 1100 as for being n/a or turbo i dont know

I use bolts for sleepers as its easer to drill right threw both sleepers then to use 2 ratchets/sockets + it makes a mechanically stronger connection. If you use one of them flat wood boring bits you can countersink the head of the bolt on the side that’s on view and if you use “self colour” bolts/washers the heads will rust to mach the sleepers colour so look much better after a bit of time than BZP etc and other bolt/screw treatments. But either way drilling sleepers you need to go for 110v or 240v But most of my past work with sleepers have been for retaining soil/embankment rather than “beds”

Its quite simple really, people who employ others in arb can pick and choose there workforce because there are just far to many people doing arb related courses/training thus employment cost ergo pay is low. It is the same with arb companies there are far to many of them chasing work because workers not happy with the above situation of pay have the bright idea to set up on there own thinking that no-one else has thought of doing that. Places of education and training councils etc are only to happy for people to pay them for training/qualification and in return they will output many times more trained people than the industry could ever support because there happy to take there money and lie to candidates about prospects of work &/or pay etc.
