If he is a subcontractor, then it's down to him to pay, unless you employ him under your insurance
-
Except, what happens if you have an older machine and the engine blows up? Can you not get a replacement?
-
It's easy. Get a length of wire, open up the flap where you plug in the lead, jam one in the small pin, the other in the top large one to go up, bottom one to go down . Also, instead of buying another, get yourself a wireless tipping kit. The box of tricks simply plugs into the trailer the you have a wireless remote.

Who exactly will know if it's not running clean, are there pollution police? I.e. if i asked you to fit a 1505 engine from new, no questions asked, what's stopping you?

Doesn't make sense. kubota tractors all go up to about 138hp, they have to comply surely?
-
Oh dear, a doosan? Well that's forst of the list for future then. It cant be to do with emissions, kubota are the world leader of plant engines, look at the tractors the sell in the country alone, they would have to comply
-
Since the government have postponed the latest emissions target for engines, will the 45hp be available for longer?
-
What's the budget?

Another way of knocking a pin out!

Chipbox build: aluminium, GRP, and/or plywood?
dig-dug-dan replied to LG trees's topic in Arb-Trucks
Looks good, but cant help thinking with those uprights inside the chip box, when you tip its going to gather against them? And if you were to tip logs, they will smash against them, possibly bending them? How did you attach the chequer plate? -
I am sure timberwolf advise using copper ease when changing blades to make it easier next time you change blades?

What happens at the end of four years?
-
They are in hemel hempstead. They supply belts and bearings. I got all my belts and bearings for my entec refurb from them, and fitted them myself. Is suspect it will be a big job, lots to remove to get to them, and you may need a press to put the bearing in. So I take it that price he quoted was supplied and fitted, not just the cost of the bearing?
-
I had to double check your post there, 1300? There is a place near me, take in an old bearing and they can match it up. I had some very unusual roller bearings on the crusher that were horrendous price from the manufacturer, around 200 a pop. This place supplied them 50 each.

Just watched the videos and interview with the designer, looks like they could clean up in sales where the defender left off

Cabstar mwb tipper will easily do 1.2 tonne. That's why they use the chassis cabs for cherrypickers
-
Tip them out and leave out . The weather will sort it!
-
Leave the wood to season outside I the weather for two years, then chop it up and store in the bags for a further year . Trying to season fresh wood straight into vented bags wont work. The weather will help season as rain on the logs which then evaporates helps to draw out internal moisture. Oak takes a long time to season anyway. Also, try to mic the wood. From a sale point of view, oak on it's own is not a premium firewood!

These guys generally have a manual pallet truck, which has a 1tonne capacity and they require hardstanding both ends, so unless he can physically lift it with that and move it about, it's a non starter. Imhave used shiply loads of times. Never had an issue
-
You need an out front machine, with a flail, ideally something like a kubota or John Deere. That way the wheels dont flatten the grass before its cut, and it will also cope with mole and ant hills. You need at least 5k to be honest
-
I dont use any kind of account software, just good old excel!

Best thing I ever did was going vat registered. I never lost any domestic customers, and if anything, I got lots more work and bigger contracts, as they can claim the vat back. Also, you can go back three years and claim the vat back on capital purchases
-
I have done just this to the tipper and the tilt bed to keep the batteries Topped up. I got mine from Amazon. Even in winter they seem to charge ok!
-
Yep. They look like milk crates, they hold 97% of their volume in water, a rubble filled soakaway holds 10, and slits up too quickly. Dig the hole, put the required number in, wrap them in terram, and backfill with 20mm shingle. Job done
-
What's the soil structure like there? If it were me, I would dig a soakaway and fill with attenuation cells, NOT rubble, ideally you will need to measure the roof area and drive area to calculate the exact size. I have done this so many times for customers, and not one has failed yet!!
