Are there different rules to burning in ireland as to england, as I know here you can burn on the site where the tree was removed, but not if you burn it elsewhere
-
Hodge, what did you think of the nifty. I had one in hire for a similar job and was really impressed. The engine cowling does not like branches being dropped on it

Whats the benefit of buying a fuel more expensive than petrol for our machines
-
Had a mate who was using a field for his arb waste activities, and the environment agency had him as they classed it as a waste transfer station. You cannot win whatever you do
-
The above post is so right about jcb. Anything under 13tonne they are useless. Whatever you get, make sure its got a kubota engine

Try shiply.com. couriers bid for what you want moving and can do it cheaply if they are in the area so to speak.

I got booted out of my old yard . It was a farm building I was using for free, and the council told me I couldnt keep my tractor there as it was used for horticulture.!

I have had similar argument with my local ea officer. Logs and woodchip taken from a job are considered a waste product, even if you argue that you are selling it on.all local tree contractors round here wont get local authority work without a licence, and cannot dispose waste without one. For the sake of 115 or so for three years, if it saves a huge fine, its worth it.

Looks on a par with oxdale, but they do not have prices on their website, which puts me ofd straightaway

From experience, my crusher customers have used jcb insurance for cover in hired in plant, so might be worth giving them a call . Or try nfu.

Can the company supplying not offer tempory cover?

A wheeled excavator such as a jcb sitemaster is taxed at 120 a year upwards, according to a friend who has one. You cannot get them on farm only use if it is road legal apparantley

You must be near me. That looks like ray powells yard. ?

Are those little grinders any good? Have seen them for about 1200, and have been tempted
-
Mines 6 gears. Yes its noisy at motorway speeds, but you need the low down ratio to be able to tow 3.5tonnes. My exaust has done the same, but was 90 to fix. 700 is steep

I have had them for the last 20 years. Been great. Nissan dealers are useless in sorting servicing and cannot mot the things. The latest ones have limited slip diff as standard. The single wheel ones are 3.4 tomnes, double are 3.5 just for the record. I sold my old double cab truck to a tree surgeon in bristol 4 years ago, and about to sell my current double cab. He said its been the best truck he has ever had. Hehas afixed tool box behind the cab then a chip box behind that. They hold the loads really well, and will tip anything. New ones are really nice to drive too.

Some hydraulic pumps are easy to repair, and some will not.its pot luck. On my crushers, I have to take the engine out and disconnect the hydraulics, which is an hours job each way. Ifyour pump I easy to get at, try replacing the seal first. Its will cost pence rather than pounds
-
Is this a standard factory fit tipper, or an after market one. Is it tipmaster, ingimex, britt tip or vfs, sometimes called scatollini. The ram needs most power to start to raise a lowered bidy the first couple of inches, so if its overloaded, it wont even go up, the motor will hum, and the fuse will blow. You may have a worn seal on the two stage part of the ram, or low oil.

Log onto shiply.com Couriers bid for items you need moving, which is often done when they are in the area.

Lelandii, cedar, and ash. Cheap, free and quick to season

I have I hycrak running on a 32hp kubota. Never stalled it yet, and I love to find the knotiest wood I can to put through it and watch it smash its way through!
-
I looked at a similar job. Wasnt interested in putting mud and stones through the chipper. Some jobs you are best off not getting in the long run
-
You can get concrete sleepers for 99p each, just pay haulage
-
Health and safety are not interested, unless an accident occurs. Environment agency said its not their department, and as for insurance, they are saying its not a requirement!
