  1. I don’t see it as nanny state, just sensible It’s not a yearly test though, 1st after 5 years then every other year
  2. it’s not too complicated, it’s done here in Sweden. it’s very handy to be told the performance of the brakes on each wheel too for example, (I normally think the brakes are alright, but they always need adjusting, it’s good someone keeps you in your toes!) IMO It helps with theft prevention too (that trailers have their own VIN, number plate and V5)
  3. With the same reasoning why MOT cars but not trailers? it’s a bit daft that it isn’t done in the uk when you think about it, especially since the scrapping of the trailer test, 3.5ton trailer with dodgy brakes behind a light little defender 90……
  4. Will DART be deployed?
  5. Use it or loose it, soon you won’t be called a climber, but a descender!
  6. Interesting Mike, is that a regular logbullet with a cab? (Not the megamax) or is there more to it? be great if you could update the thread with going from forwarder to tractor and trailer and back to forwarder again please keeping the tractor?
  7. Kohler command V-twin 38hp on a bandit zt grinder i sold didn’t last long, think i sold it with 220 hrs, new engine needed at less than 300
  8. The heaviest I’ve weighed in was winter felled beech chip (surprisingly), 8m3 (full 12ft Ifor tipper) 4500kg load! So 560kg per m3 it definitely felt heavy towing too
  9. that’s a great idea
  10. Just charge for your travel time, all of it or over 1/2hour or similar no one honestly expects people to travel for free, but plenty are happy, like your guy, that you’re not charging
  11. Just stand your ground then, definitely don’t eat humble pie as you put it. He’s nothing to do with you, not your father in law make anyone that questions your behavior about this feel like a f-kin imbecile
  12. Fair enough doing a mates rates job but next time grow a pair and tell the father in law to f-off as soon as he started “helping” your work site, your rules
  13. What’s the winch? Tirfor style, capstan, hydraulic?
  14. I just fail to see the relevance of you spending nearly a couple hundred quid at other businesses and then being grumpy that a charity that hasn’t benefited of your spending “want” you to pay to park in their parking area where you want to park?
  15. Ok, but did you spend two hundred with that charity?
