Looks similar to Aspenbobs one, cept his blue.

Picked this up today locally. Used to be used at Brooklands museum for shifting things around. Will need some tlc and an overhaul of engine, mechanics and hydraulics. Nice little project

Hi Dan,

I have a danequip grinder which is pretty much identical to your Dosko.  If it is the hydrostatic belt that you are wearing through then it is likely to be a tensioning issue.  I had the same problem and was using a new belt in about 1 hour until I got the tension right, which took about three attempts.

What was the issue, too tight or too loose?

Is that a normal zigzag Mark or the newer one?

I used those ultrasecure alarms a while ago. Don’t think that i paid anywhere near that amount for them though. I think that the reason i gave up on them was that they were so temperamental, especially the fob to switch on and off, plus false alarms which is annoying when it’s at a storage container.
A cheap £9 Lidl one saved my tools a few years back. When some scum bust into my garage.

Anyone know what sort of money they are? And anyone experienced the electric one in comparison to the above petrol one?

July last year I paid £2300 plus £180 all

plus vat for a midway table. Splitter was an ex demo model, so slightly cheaper.

Been great.

I had a trail camera in a tree. When it’s slightly breezy it goes off every couple minutes!

Metasoquia. At aguess 

Yr in Surrey. I will come fr a closer look. K

A mate sent it to me and it has been baffling me for days!

Ignore the pine branches as they are not part of it.

Cheers

That’s crap Mark. Gutted for you. Hope they catch the thieving bastards!
I’ve got a tw190 not doing much if you need to borrow one to tide you over?

 
I know what you mean, I have just bought a 6 wheel plant lorry with a  28 ton mtr crane with four extensions off a mate . Truck can only carry about 12 ton so only good for one bit of kit at a time which is a pain but its handy for nipping about on smaller jobs, its certainly never going to replace the artic and trailers. . Tore the laterals off this windblown with the crane and chain today to reduce it down which also got rid of most of the soil and then ripped it out of the ground, all done in less than an hour so it does have other uses .

 

My new Arb truck got delivered today [emoji3] 
 

 

It's ok chaps. I've sorted the problem for now.

Found a pub with good food, good beer and bed for the night.

I'll rough it out until the morning and then drive home in daylight. [emoji1360][emoji1360]

Tried him already. Didn't answer so left a message [emoji1360]

Oooh, that’s a bit awkward. 
 
Leaning out out the window with a torch out of the question I guess?
 
Hope you get it sorted.

I'm parked in a layby near Aylesbury with no headlights working on my 18t lorry.
Sidelights work but not bright enough to drive by.
Bulbs and fuses are ok.
Anyone know an auto electrician in this area?
 
Cheers...Al.

Could try this? Not sure if battery is the same in 10s though.

https://www.theridingobsession.com/smh10-battery/

One of my Sena 10s has a failing battery that won’t hold its charge. Does anyone know if the battery is available?
I’ve search ‘tinternet but to no avail.

Hi Al,
 
Yes, though only uprated to 3000kg. Can't go higher than that without a different ratio rear dif, which would mean a different front dif and it's just not worth going into. I'm bang on 3000kg when towing the forwarder, so I'm OK. 
 
SV Tech just need proof of the rating of the tow hitch and a few other details and they'll handle the uprating. Was around £275 if memory serves

The forwarder will just fit on my old trailer, but will overhand a fair bit at both ends. Not ideal, but would do in a fix. Still looking for trailers - it's a tough one.

Hi Big J,

Did you get your Sprinter towing capacity sorted?

I've got a 313 Sprinter and would be handy to tow up to 3500kg at times. It has an uprated 3.5t tow bar fitted already, so wondering if it needs anything else, or just a call to SVTech?

Cheers

Al

I think I need to go to speck savers, been reliably informed this girl has a dance partner and be fecked if I can see him. Just need a bit of clarification here  [emoji4]

Nope, can't see one Bob. Get yourself down there and show her your moves....[emoji1360]

I think the single wheeled transit and Cabstar GVW is rated lower then the twin wheeled versions.
 
Have found after driving single and twin wheeled Cabstar, that the twin wheeled version drive better.
 
Found that with the single rear wheel the truck did sway from side to side when the wood chip was loaded high.
 
Where did you have the body made for the sprinter. Looks very smart.

You're in a better position than many as Guildford has the only public weighbridge in Surrey and Sussex I think. Else you can always put a bit of scrap in it and weigh it in.

Colliers Environmental at Lyne will let you drive over their weighbridge . If you want a print out they charge £5
