you need to add sbr to the mix and do a bond bridge on sandstone. Too many call backs later otherwise
-
Why the coursed laying pattern as apposed to random layout? what jointing will you be using. Not geoshite I hope?
-
Notgot one myself, but the only difference is backup from dealers. Which ever one you buy, make sure the dealer is up to the job of spares backup and servicing. my mate has just junked his transit and got one. Best thing he ever did. Its a far superior van, and the drive is much nicer. I had one as a loan van for a week and was sorry to see it go
-
Cleanwell. Good back up with spares, and helpful on the phone

I had a wessex once. Never again. It ate belts like no tomorrow, kept losing pins on the height adjusters and wessex never had either in stock. I brought a port agric which was direct drive, but they have now gone bust. Trimax are good, but not used one myself

<p>HI again</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure what others have said, but from experience, this new shape truck is far better, carries more weight, tows more, is reliable, quieter and more refined. A transit equivalent only carries half a tonne, this one a tonne, and tows 3.5tonne.</p>
<p>I have had these all my working life, and its only the nissan dealers who are useless, not the truck. Mine had an oil leak, which turned out to be the dealer not fitting the filter on properly!!</p>
<p>Hope you get on ok. (mines still for sale, though going on autotrader soon)</p>

<p>Hi mate. Only selling due to ordering a brand new one, which I do every four years. I am on holiday at the moment so will contact you weekend with more info</p>

the engine would crank half a turn, then nothing, then half a turn, then nothing etc. TCP advised its removal when i had the refurb. they shotblasted the skip and repainted it. If its just the skip that needs it, take it off and take it somewhere to do it. I just had a mower done and cost me £200
-
I had to remove mine, it was causing too many problems. Brought mine in 2006. Had it refurbished two years ago. Respray, new stickers etc. Done 650hours so far. One pipe burst, new stop solonoid, and general servicing
-
Looks like the tracks need tightening!
-
Possibly more than that now. The engine is 2k on its own. Has your machine got the auto start?
-
How do you get on with your machine?
-
Not the cheapest, but you pay for quality. I paid 6k. Kubota diesel engine, two speed tracking. Because the rams are on the outside, the skip is lower to the ground and makes it easier for loading. The company is british, and they do have lots of refurbed machines at good prices
-
I have a tracked dumper which will load a skip, but will also tip into the pick up. Great for hauling logs
-
Dont know why you dont process it as logs. I mix it in with my loads, never had a complaint yet. A supply a couple of pubs with conifer only as they like the smell on an open fire.
-
I am in the process of getting quotes to extend my house, and included will be a wood burner. Putting the flue up through a room is exactly what I want to do. It acts as a radiator, and why waste the heat? one thing for sure. I will burn all the logs no one wants to buy, conifer, old fence posts etc. Free heat
-
Why not get a tipper truck with a mini crane. You wont lose as much payload, and there is a crane that forms the ladder rack of the vehicle. The pallet truck is ok till you encounter a slope or gravel

Link does not work

Can you tip with a swing lift attached? Was considering one for my truck. Are they any good?
-
Forget the ifor hitch. A crowbar to the release mechanism and its snapped. Thats why ifors get pinched so easily. The indespension trailers come with something called a triple lock. You can easily fit a head to an ifor, and they cannot be drilled out. I kmkw as the key snapped in mine once and I spent two hours trying to drill it and get it off. In the end, I had to remove the head from the trailer and the towball from the truck and replace both. A triple lock coupling will set you back about 100. You get two keys , and tamper proof bolts to attach it.

I have brought several bits of kit on finance now, and jcb always come out on top for price etc. leasing and hp, as they are easy to deal with -
Did it come with a driver or can you hire and use it without?

dig-dug-dan replied to Horatio's topic in Large equipment
if its a 2007 onwards cabstar they tow 3.500kg. I have the double cab version, and i often tow this amount whilst loaded and its not a problem. thats only the 2.5 too -
thanks. although i think i may have got the qtys wrong when i first posted these tree enclosures are usually one post at each corner, which makes it 200 posts, not 400
