  1. Just finished antibiotics for it last week, tick on the back of the leg, came out cleanly, a month later the original swelling returned and grew, a quick video chat with the dr and 10 days of 3 a day antibiotics prescribed mental number of ticks here in Sweden though the tick vaccine here is for TBE (virus), not Lymes disease (bacteria based infection) as I understand
  2. Sounds like he’s living an awesome life Pete!
  3. Yeah you are being a Karen you’re paying for living in an area that (thankfully) doesn’t need police patrols, street lights for safety, litter pickers etc. Those areas that need such services can’t afford to pay for them so other areas of society do so. Same goes for your bins, all averages out to help those that need it…….or are lazy f-wits
  4. I lost count the amount of times I was glad not to have a smaller trailer/the amount of jobs that produced 6.5-8m3 of chip. (The 12 holds 8m3, the 10 6m3 iirc) you won’t get 6 or 8 bags on, loaded bags splay out/are wider than 1m, loading loaded bags of logs I found 4 was the max you’ll over load either with heavy chip, but the 12 can be legal fully loaded go for the 12
  5. Pollarded? So you expect that’ll grow back ?!
  6. I’ll also echo mattys post, as I understand, it was well out of Justin’s hands, and, (believe it or not) he got screwed over as much as every one else
  7. 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
  8. 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)
  9. 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……
  10. Will DART be deployed?
  11. Use it or loose it, soon you won’t be called a climber, but a descender!
  12. 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?
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. that’s a great idea
