    Whilst I applaud you for taking th initiative in doing the course, why? I have tried to report an unrepuputable company who have undercut loads or genuine people to get work at various housing sites, and it is impossible. There is no one who actually enforces the spraying licence. I spent £600 doing mine, and I am beginning to regret it

    I drive machines up ramps all the time. Tracked skiploader, concrete crusher, digger, and used to drive chipper up till I got the custom trailer. Ramps cost 500, and I drilled two holes in the truck bed, and shove a pin into them through the ramp. They never move. I am the only one who will drive a digger up, everyone else is too scared!

    If you got the bigger grinder in, surely the digger will fit?

    If I can jump on this to echo whats been said regards environmental comments, remember this: You didn't inherited this planet from your parents, its simply on loan from your children!
  5. dig-dug-dan
    I thought so. Not as bad as oak though
  6. dig-dug-dan
    Sorry for my ignorance, but that load of chip must make the truck overloaded?

    Thanks for taking so much time to post all that. It was not something I had seen before, and was a real eye openor. All credit to your knowledge on dealing with it, and cracking views up there!

    If you are vat registered, you should have been charging vat on log sales, 5% to end users and 20% to resellers. You should also be claiming back vat on fuel, tools, repairs, basically anything you have spent money on for the business. Sound like you may need some urgent accounting work How comeyou registered for vat in the first place. Did you realise that when you first register, you can claim back vat on tools and equipment purchased up to four years previous?
  9. dig-dug-dan
    Yes indeed. You already reap the benefits. But if you havent been charging vat on your logs, you should have been. You might owe the hmrc some money

    You cannot register a seperate sideline for vat and not the other. When you register, you are registered not the company, which means anything to do with the small holding will be liable for vat

    Hi all I have a problem with an ifor pump. The tipperpump is working fine, but it does not go down. I discovered the release solenoid was corroded. Ordered a new one, but somehow I have lost the nut that holds it onto the stem of the valve. It seems to be a strange size as nothing I have in stock will fit it. Does anyone have any ideas what I need to buy. Its not available as a spare part

    Had a similar problem with a honda engine. Just needed a new spark plug in the end!

    if its free, can they really justify complaining?
  14. dig-dug-dan
    I gave mine away using freecycle, people with rabbits etc.

    Basically, if you do work for a council, they are going to insist all operatives have the new up to date number on their certificate. So a tree company with four groundies say will end up paying dear. Its a con basically

    Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but my ticket from 92 is different numbers again, and I was told by some local authority pen pusher that I cannot work on council land unless I do cs 30. Nothing has changed on the course. Since city a guilds have told me that he is wrong, and the tickets have no expiry date, then mine is in fact valid. However, upon doing some in depth investigatiins, and pulling a few favours, everyone working within the local authority industry will need to update to the new qualification, regardless of when they took the original test. Its just a big con to get more money out of everyone

    I have an hitachi nv50 which holds 350 nails. It has not gone wrong in 10 years, nails are cheaper than the paslode. The paslode is expensive to run, need cleaning every box of nails, heavy to hold, and the nails are half head Coil nailer all the way. Forget the bostich. Useless. Try nailers.co.uk.

    How come I replaced a leaky spill return hose and it cured the problem then?
  19. dig-dug-dan
    I can see that now. I like it. How much dare I ask?
  20. dig-dug-dan
    That's an impressive machine. Not heard of it. Is it a jeu bau copy?
  21. dig-dug-dan
    Have to disagree. I had same problem on a kubota engine, and it was the leak off hose.
  22. dig-dug-dan
    Sounds like a hole in the leak off hose from the injectors.
  23. dig-dug-dan
    thats almost the same as mine, except mine runs off the avants hyrdraulics. no conveyor on mine though
  24. dig-dug-dan
    got a mate who might be selling his japa which he powers from his Avant loader. I have one and its great! brought mine new for just under 3.5 grand
  25. dig-dug-dan
    It does. Its a little bit wider though, so doorways are out of the question.
