    Sorry for my ignorance, but that load of chip must make the truck overloaded?
  2. dig-dug-dan
    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?
  4. 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?
  9. 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?
  14. dig-dug-dan
    I can see that now. I like it. How much dare I ask?
  15. dig-dug-dan
    That's an impressive machine. Not heard of it. Is it a jeu bau copy?
  16. dig-dug-dan
    Have to disagree. I had same problem on a kubota engine, and it was the leak off hose.
  17. dig-dug-dan
    Sounds like a hole in the leak off hose from the injectors.
  18. dig-dug-dan
    thats almost the same as mine, except mine runs off the avants hyrdraulics. no conveyor on mine though
  19. 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
  20. dig-dug-dan
    It does. Its a little bit wider though, so doorways are out of the question.
  21. dig-dug-dan
    I saw that and was tempted. This is the best narrow access chipper out there imho. Its also good for hedgecuttings, and there is a larger screen you can attach which will enable you to quickly reduce waste without bulking it. Its been faultless, apart from a blocked carb recently. Its got a digital hour counter, a really wide inlet for nasty stuff like hawthorn. Had mine since 2006, and would probably upgrade to the 6" diesel version next time

    thought i would tag onto this thread, and see if any of you had come across my chipper. This machine will go through a gate, is self propelled, but does not blow the chips all over the place, instead the conveyor places them in a neat pile, or will oad a truck just as easily! Will take a 4" branch too, and has no stress built in. This little beast has 24 reversable knives, which you can sharpen in situ

    Bear in mind a gravel board if it rots is a couple of quid to replace, the fetheredge would be a lot more. It also helps take out any imperfections in the ground to give a level surface for the fetheredge to sit on.

    Morticed or even vnotch posts are very strong. The trouble with those spurs is that someone ends up them on their land. Incidentally, it looks like the fence is round the wrong way. The owner should be looking at the backing rails, the neighbour sees the "good side". Something to bear in mind, as I have been in the middle of legal disputes about this in the past.
  25. dig-dug-dan
    There should be gravel boards, the arriss rails have been attached using repair brackets, should of used morticed posts, and for some reason you have used concrete repair spurs to attach to. It looks good, but not the correct construction
