  1. This is all well ang good, but what about hen we have electric trucks that already weigh 3.5tonnes due to battery weight?
  2. My mate might be able to hire his to you. PM me
  3. Try hydraulic pumps.co.uk. i needed a new pump off a machine, gave them some code numbers off old pump and they built one. Third of the price of a new cassappa
  4. Sadly I no longer have a wood burner but when I did, I couldnt get enough conifer . I burnt hot and I only emptied ash can once a week
  5. I've set up a change petition. Hope you guys can sign and share. It's self explanatory. Up the o licence from 3.5 tonnes to 4.5 tonnes. https://chng.it/Py4GksJ7jW
  6. Had one of these myself, until it decided to spit the innards out along with puff of smoke while trying to start a 9hp diesel engine.
  7. What about a double cab transit tipper or the like? How are they defining pickup?
  8. Apologies if I've misspelt the above Customer has had a letter from the fotestry commission, saying that the OPM. Has been seen in the area and he has to get his oak tree sprayed. They are offering to do it free, but will this offer expire and does he have to have it done or can he tell them to get stuffed? It's in a private garden and covered by a tpo
  9. That's exactly where it was! They were waiting to pounce once I got on just before the Hatfield tunnel
  10. Reported for insecure load. I think as I was giving the logs away, he said no more. I genuinely was, giving them to my ex wife to keep my kids warm!
  11. Sheeting over a loose load of sand?
  12. I got the impression it's done kind of licence. I've been asked for this before by certain customers who refused to buy from me unless I produced it
  13. Put three bulk bags of seasoned conifer on my twin Cab iveco daily, got on a1m and was immediately asked to follow a police traffic officer to a weighbridge. I was 5.1% overweight!!! He let me off that, but told me the load was unsafe as the logs were higher than the sides. I then manually reduced said bags so loose logs were now lower than the sides. He still wasn't happy, and insisted the load should be sheeted as if I go over a pothole, a log could jump out! Even a load of sand has to be sheeted he reckoned! The final sting was asking why I had them on. I told him I was giving them away, so he let me off but if I was selling them he would need to check my licence! It's getting harder to make a living! I'm being reported and may get prosecuted!

  15. 1500 hours. I have to get these made in batches of three.£1200 each. Got one left on stock. Manufacturer no longer supplies
  16. Catastrophic jaw failure on one of my crushers.
  17. Yes, but primer should pump fuel into carb, but it appears to just push air into tank instead.
  18. Mate is having problems with his blower It was running rough so had cleaned out the carb with an airline. Now the primer bulb won't prime but appears to be pushing air into the tank! Any ideas?
  19. Looks like a 5 tonne machine. No wonder tyres gave out!
  20. Mate has had so much trouble from adblue on his nt400, he has just had it mapped out. It's like a different truck now. More power and better mpg
  21. These manufacturers need to get off their high horse about this. Their responsibilty ends when the machine leaves the factory. If people want to modify them, it's up to them, and if they have spent upwards of £25,000, they should be allowed to unchallenged. It's nothing to do with anyone else. I can think of a certain chipper manufacturer who has threatened to sack people if they even dare to suggest to a customer that the fuel settings can be modified.
  22. Just noticed that's a pre 2006 machine. Battery is mounted in front of engine behind grill
  23. Luckily, I am expert on these machines. You have the wrong battery. Get yourself a dry cell, odyssey pc625 battery, and mount it in its correct position underneath the engine in its housing. Check what voltage you are getting at full revs, should be 14.5 volts. The regulators and wiring harnesses fail on these for a pastime., also check your earth cable is mounted on the back of the regulator and both wires to the generator are connected properly just behind starter motor.

The hour clock stopped at 1600, when the refurb was donw and new one shows 48 hours. This is a really good powerful working chipper, 35hp. Everyone that uses is is Impressed.
