PUWER 1998 Strictly speaking we are not supposed to use or sell a machine without the manual.

Interesting points raised. I've been reading "Tree Root Damage To Buildings" by P.G.Biddle.He records recovery of clay soils,post felling, that cause severe sructural damage to buildings.I am now wondering how a neighbouring tree root system would respond to being lifted by the same magnitude. Tree root damage to trees? Locally ,I have also been watching tree damage caused by new a building creating a vortex that the trees cannot adapt to quickly enough.

(Quote madmatt) As Andy says everything has to be so secure these days its unreal, it takes me twenty mins to get the security devices unlocked and get our ifor hitched up, but they have never got away with and they have tried! Been thinking about this today.I can spend a good hour each day fighting with muddy padlocks & chains and loading/unloading kit.It's costing me money that I could use for other things such as paying the increasing insurance premiums. Just about the only thing that I have any control over is the buying of my kit.I am certain that none of mine is stolen.Buying from good sources is not cheap but at least it is at my cost not some other poor sods. Hope you get your kit back Pete,and would like to think that the mods. would encourage the police to prosecute.

That second axle looks like it has single wheels. 6 x 2 tractor,girt heavy Wirtgen,perhaps not drives fault.

Have you looked at "Milemarker" winches? Hydraulic winch running off the power steering pump.

I'm amazed at some of the "characters" who have a carriers license.Must put off the wheeltappers from weighing vehicles,dipping tanks,and checking V.I.N. plates! Not too sure that I want to join the club now.

Cold chip shop curry sauce on hot buttered toast as a wake me up.

Humph! Another show missed due to the weather being good at the wrong time. Work ............the curse of the drinking man.

Compressors get rated by their free air delivery (ie not working) Air tools by average consumption (ie not working) My 10 HP compressor puts out 25 cfm My 1" drive impact uses 12 cfm On old wheel nuts the compressor does not even begin to keep up. Sorry about the abrupt style by the way,my keyboard skills are crap.

The Inland Revenue regards insurance as part of self employment. A subby could be in danger of being "spoken to":thumbdown:

still BFG mud terrain here too.

On the subject of brake bleeding,it is often better to push fluid in through the bleed nipples & drain off from the res. I know that some machine makers fill new machines this way
-
Yes please Lee,count me in too.

I'd agree. Report it. That sort of carelessness reflects badly on those of us who refuse to cut roots.Takes longer to hand dig & so costs more.If the client worries more about money than the L.P.A. then they need a wake up call!

General Grabber AT2 Vs BF Goodrich All Terrain?

Know the feeling! You know it's bad when the weighbridge operator wont look at you.The last time that I put mine over, it was free as they were SURE that I didn't need a ticket. I took a lot of kit off. Good collection of barrels,.........................dont you recycle your empties?
-
Quite so. Jubilation in Wiltshire as the plain chocolate hobnob famine is over!

Got totally soaked moving the digger onto the next job. Only bit warm and dry was the feet,praise be to the Haix. The good side was that when a brake rod pulled out of it's clevis and the trailer took off down the slope (after uncoupling) it was safely caught by a pile of brash that I have been meaning to move for ages. Today everthing was better than I could ever had hoped for.

Get well soon to the lakeland pup Terriers will be terriers,mine is a total pain a lot of the time,but never boring!

Sounds interesting.In the South would be practical,Cumbria would be a good excuse for a visit.

This is certainly true of the older farming types. In my recent experience the new boys have become so health & safety aware that they make me rethink my safety policy. I'm not so sure of the chainsaw world,an awful lot feel that law and best practice dont apply to them.
