  1. Yes its a hotmail address, and the phone is liker mobile, registered overseas. police arrived 30 hours after reporting, went away, and came back an hour later saying they cannot investigate as its a civil matter. Its up to me to chase him for the unpaid hire fees accrued the whole time its on hire to him. they wont even tell me if his address is kosher. Insurance have not contacted me yet, but they are aware. had to do my own investiagtions, and I got hold of the guy who collected it. Honest bloke who runs a man and van service, who was paid 120 cash to collect it and deliver to a rugby club in yaxley. since this theft is the same guy who stole three machines off my supplier, you would have thought they would want to investigate it. I have no faith in the police service anymore.
  2. Slightly concerned by why all the diffetent colours on that digger and some missing panels? Is it a cut and shut?
  3. 150 for one day, 300 three days, 420 week plus vat plus delivery
  4. Yes. I got his website, and there is a picture of him next to the van. He came with another guy who said he was the hirers son. he stole two tracked dumpers and a crusher of my suppliers in similar circumstances, and they saw one of them on ebay. Police caught the guy delivering it and he was paid cash in the pub to deliver it. They are still investigating that, now if they ever get round here, we can add to the dossier. I was thinking of ringing up the van man and ask where he delivered it to, but if he is in on it, it might not work, plus I did not want to interfere with any police investigation
  5. Sadly he was supposed to pay bacs, but it did not come through. Got an email from him., and details of the one man van man he used to collect it, so I suspect its been parked up in a yard somewhere. These things are hard to sell on as there is only one suppler for parts, and they need a serial number to order, so its going to surface at some point. Still waiting for the police 24 hours later
  6. Just hope the insurance dont wriggle. Its only 6 months old, still on finance
  7. Had my crusher pinched with the trailer. Last seen in yaxley, peterborough. Distinctive trailer (sprayed red ), very rare crusher, so hard to offload. Guy hired but has not returned it, no payment, payg mobile, sent someone else to collect. Still waiting for the police to come round.. He has done this before i have found out today
  8. Providing the green waste does not touch the ground. I bring it back and fill a tipping trailer up, then tip it. the laws on burning mentioned above baffle me. One of my neighbours was burning tyres, the council said as its a domestic bonfire, he can burn what he likes. Great help they were
  9. Very true!
  10. Jumping on this thread, I can recommend you buy sodium hypochlorite, or swimming pool bleach. Mix this up with water 10 to 1 with a dash of baby shampoo to act as a surficant and spray this onto the deck first. Leave it tomsoak for 30 mins, then pressure was off. Will work wonders, and leave it in better state than just pressure washing
  11. Prices? Or do we guess?
  12. I dig the soil away each side of the ball of concrete, hammer the claw attachment into each side and lift with the puller. It gets 95% of them out, just the odd one it wont lift, due to being too wide, or the concrete tapers the wrong way
  13. Postpuller. Ihave one and its superb. Should only cost you 35 for the day, plus once its pulled out, the hole is dug. I have dug them out with a ripper on the digger before
  14. Ignition module?
  15. Had a bateson auto tilt. Was superb. Looking at brian james at the moment. bear in mind with that operating weight, you cannot have any mud on the tracks or on the bucket, as that can add 50kg. That trailer looks good though, if you can stay legal
  16. Log it into small bits, and hire some conveyors to get it out
  17. Eliet are good for shredding. I have the big 18hp, but there are smaller ones on ebay
  18. Nice. What jointing did you use. Lovely slabs too
  19. Postpuller. If you go to postpullers.co.uk, you will see what it can do. I have pulled all sorts of shrubs out with mine
  20. brian james all the way for me. Got an ifor tipper and the build is not really up to scratch anymore. The brian james trailers are second to none for build and aftersales service. They are on the end of the phone for any technical queries too.
  21. Way too much bedding material by the looks of it. More sub base needed. Looking good thougb
  22. Had them for the last 20 years, never had any issues. Got my new one coming next week. They carry more weight than anything else out there
  23. Any one translate that for me?
  24. Tee total me, but I know someone who was self employed and lost his licence. He was in the pub every day from midday, and the barmaid tipped off the old bill. He ended up employing a fellow bar propper for £80 a day to drive him around
  25. This was on my cabstar. Must be contagious
