Felling two mature oak trees near house
dig-dug-dan replied to ashley horner's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
You do not need to dig out as much in the circumstances, light scrape, avoid roots, geo textile down, min hardcore, then gravel. You can use grids , but you must get a flat surface to put them on -
Fantastic!!

That looks like the bridge up near jct 13 . That was a few years ago now
-
Did you tell insurance? Any mechanical issues as a result?

I use an independent lease company that have always done me a good deal. Been using them for 25 years now. Holmwood leasing. Speak to nick Patten. 07774866667. Mention Daniel from hemel to him
-
So has that problem been resolved and what was it?
-
Wasnt someone on here saying that engine has been giving problems?
-
I gather these particular barriers were under tension, so the replacement was a bit more of job than just bolting them back together!
-
Not something I did, but a mate was on a roadside contract on a dual carriageway. Pollarding some lime trees. Got near the end of the day, in a rush, decided to top the tree in one go, rather than cut all individual branches. When the top fell, its base caught the top of the crash barrier, put a dent in it and broke all the connecting bolts down its length. They thought they got away with it until the highways engineer turned up to inspect the work, and noticed the dent, looked over the barrier to see all the tension bolts lying on the floor and a loose barrier. Nothing was said until a bill for over 20k arrived for its replacement!

Invest in a triple lock coupling. They are nigh on impossible to drill out the lock,as I found out from experience when I lost the only key I had and it was locked to the truck!
-
Hmmm. Not what they told me! Be interested to see where this is going!
-
I couldn't agree more!

The 140, but its seriously downrated compared to my previous one which was only 130! It's got an eco mode which is always on, you have to turn it off. Trying to work out how to disconnect it! Going to get it remapped as soon as possible
-
That's a fair rate with that speed !

Ben I have always had cabstar. I brought a new double cab three way tipper in January knowing it was the last one I could get. It's the only one where you can take the rear seats out to make a flat floor. Now I have to think ahead and consider its replacement in 5 years time. The canter is good, but you cannot remove the rear seats in the back, it has no bluetooth also! Isuzu do not do a double cab 3.5tonne. It's looking like it might be iveco as a compromise A word of warning on the double cab cabstar, and even the single cab. No Nissan dealer round my way will service or do any warranty work, claiming it's too big for their ramps. I would have to drive over 100 miles for this!

What kind of tonnage is it producing?
-
Thanks. I have been dealing with Mike if that's any help!

I will give a vote to harbrook engineering. They actually have a water cutter for hardox. I think you may have recommended them to me. They have built crusher jaws for me, which are an absolute piece of engineering, and if I am honest, better than the ones the manufacturer were fitting. I had to get the cad drawings for them, and send them an old jaw for reference, but they looked at the old one, saw where it had failed and made some design changes after some discussion, to produce the new ones. My only gripe is they are shockers for not coming back to you or getting things done when they say. They gave me a price for 3 jaws as that was slightly cheaper, they made one and sent in as I was in a hurry, now 3 months on, still waiting!
-
No, I just took a panel off in the footwell. By all means email or message me
-
Sounds good if you have a cad program and know how to use it!
-
Update. Rotor was bent by 6mm, and needed a balance. Fitted today, no vibration, cuts without any issues!
-
My trick is to ask for the engine or machine serial number, so you can check it against the stolen register. They don't know if you have a register or not, so if its genuine, they will tell you!
-
I will have to check with him!
-
Yes, it does work in dusty conditions. I will have to ask him further, as I know my machines inside out, not up with these red rhinos.
-
mmm. thats interesting! so is it a simple case of a bigger hose from tank to pump? how will that work with the fittings that screw into each?
