experiences of some vehicles mentioned so far I had a regular length Land Cruiser, 2014, great family vehicle, as you would expect of it, diesels are a tad lackluster compared to the competition but are far, far more reliable. don’t go for the 7 seater - seats may fold down but you loose a good 30cm of depth in the boot girlfriend a 2004 rav4, as thirsty as the Land Cruiser, could remove all rear seats leaving a van like back which was good, needed to remove the removeable tow bar to open rear door though mate had an outlander, got rid as 4wd only started working above 5mph apparently worth bearing in mind, especially if you want 4wd to avoid lawn damage, is a lot of the soft roaders, the wheels need to spin before the 4wd kicks in……

ditto, Justin’s shows were ace, bit of a blur though 🤣 -
I had an early zt1844 when they were cheap, few niggles, one within warranty but didn’t take the warranty claim further (brought from global, I’m in Sweden) sold it a few years back with 200something hours, engine went bang about a year later with not many more hours expensive belts, worth having a spare of each

when I came over as a sole trader in 2010 the UTR number sufficed. And when hiring uk guys that’s what my accountant wanted too (But yeah all company’s no matter size pay/charge vat) no idea what it’s like since brexit, I stopped hiring uk guys around then anyway the only company that comes to mind for tree planting is Magnus Thor AB , about an hour north of Stockholm, see his vans about planting alot. Give them a google the big forest companies seem to sub all the practical work out, just plan the works in house

It been a while since I had my short lived affair with the crane truck, but iirc, for HIAB cranes at least, a 13tm (for example) is exactly that, rated to lift 13 ton at a meter from the center of the crane, quick bit of mental arithmetic and you can work out what it’ll lift at any given meter 13(ton) divided into 2 (meters) = 6,5 ton at 2meters for example I think it’s always calculated fully boomed out and horizontal My lifting chart of a 13tm crane started at 5200kg @ 2,5m as that was the first available lifting point when horizontal - I don’t know when or to who but apparently this makes it a 5,2ton crane for those unknown people/scenarios - I guess on that line a “20 ton crane” might therefore be 50tm ? if calculating a job, knowing the tm and max reach will help you know what it’ll lift and at what distance

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

Sounds like he’s living an awesome life Pete!

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

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

Pollarded? So you expect that’ll grow back ?! -
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
-
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
-
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)
-
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……

Will DART be deployed?

Use it or loose it, soon you won’t be called a climber, but a descender!

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? -
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

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
-
that’s a great idea
-
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
-
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
-
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

What’s the winch? Tirfor style, capstan, hydraulic?

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?
