    So even with a CE license (after 2013) you still can’t drive a BE fifth wheel....is there a way you can? I’m guessing not?!
  2. josharb87
    I’ve been thinking about this, if you had CE, does this enable you to tow one of these fifth wheel BE rigs? As would your license not still be BE 3,5t vehicle plus 3,5t trailer. even with the CE entitlement is it not once a vehicle is registered as C that you can go over 3,5t trailer? Would you have to register the tow vehicle as a C rather than B category?

    I wonder if you broke into the police station if they’d bother looking into it? Sorry to hear of your visitors

    Cheers Steve, just gave them a mail. Cheers Mick, yeah i understand with the tow stepping, although I'm pretty sure, according to EU law, you're free to buy from who-ever you like, but that might not make that distributer too popular with the manufacture. Steves suggestion is near my family so could buy in person next month!

    Can anyone recommend me a helpful Ifor Williams dealer for parts? Need a new lowering solenoid, Ebay has one for another pump set-up for £40, but none for my pump fitment The Distributer for Ifor here in Sweden, i have a feeling, are trying to pull my pants down at £400 for one. (they succeeded in the past with the rear light lens - £60, compared to a complete light console inc lens for around £25 in the UK!) Thanks

    The mk3’s are awesome trucks, so simple, super tough and reliable yet cruises at 80

    Only ever seen mini forwarders on tri axle trailers over here not towed the alstor which is more similar to your machine, but the kranman on this westbay tri axle tows amazingly well, small wheels and easy to forget the trailers there

    Cheers for the quick replies! It is still on the uk hyd oil, never any problem with roller or track function, or last winter, a little slow when cold but normally let the machine warm up before going full revs/chipping. Fillers the breather on this one too, just never noticed the excess oil foaming, even in the filler neck before. I filled up to midway in the sight glass, but it seems to chuck oil out if theres any oil visible in the sight glass. What was "abnormal" was not that it chucked out oil after potentially over filling, thats fine, but that it done it again today in the morning without topping up, even after chipping for 2 hours yesterday, id thought the oil level had sorted itself out yesterday morning! I'll change oil and see if i can find a filter on Monday. tracks in for changing the oil?

    Jensen 530 vari-track, checked the hydraulic oil level (when very cold) and topped up yesterday morning (couldn't see it in the glass which seems "normal" when cold) but it seeps oil from the stop-bar plunger (looking at this on monday), so topped up anyway to mid-way between min and max. turned machine on and after a few minutes on a fast idle it chucked out a bit of oil from the breather and after showed to be more than full in the viewing glass. used the machine for about 2 hours yesterday. Today, on warm up (been out all night again in -15c it done the same, but this time chucking out foaming oil, quite a bit, then settled down and worked fine Why does it do this? is the level in the viewing glass for warm oil? @Mike Hill, @PeteB?

    Felling Beeches? NO! Have you considered a light crown reduction in order to increase light levels? only joking, you want non native species gone but standing dead habitat kept, sounds like an interesting project. put some pictures up if you can And you're poisoning a living tree, i think some small bits of plastic is the least of your environmental worries! Eco plugs from the side on thin barked trees should work well, follow the recommended intervals for the plugs, and buy the correct drill bit (the one with the stopper welded on) and a good drill with good batteries! Will certainly be the cleanest method of application of poison and no risk to other plants or wild life.

    Colin, the [email protected] is the email address, send your questions there as asked as Gustaf might not be a daily active member on here and questions here might get missed

    Good luck Jonathan! I’m sure there’s a varied selection of work for a low ground pressure machine, not just trees It’d be really interesting if you could start a thread about the Logbullet :biggrin:

    4 wheel drive Mike! Based on a synchro transporter, The last axle has no drive. after using a regular transporter tipper I reckon having an extra axle is really needed to hold the weight
  17. josharb87
    Haha no! Interesting vehicle though

    How about a 4wd, double cab, tipper with a crane on a car license and a ton payload apparently?!
  19. josharb87
    A 110 double cab tipper would be a smaller box than a jap crew cab tipper! - length of the 110 standard bed is under 1 meter, a double cab hilux for example is 1.5m. A crew cab defender 130 bed is only 1.8 for reference - the same as a hilux king cab, which has about the same legroom in the back as the defender Nice setup 5 Shires, works for you which is most important

    Thanks for posting David. Great that action has been taken. The fines are not nearly high enough imo. Its not like it was just a little bit off from the original remit. Did i really read "lopping" in the article?! It looks like the "original firm" had started a sympathetic reduction (look at 11 o'clock, and over the house) was this not enough for the client? hence them "not being able to complete the work" - kicked off the job by the client? did the client not bear any responsibility?

    Id go for a residential 10 week course, its a crash course covering the basics, giving you the basic qualifications needed by most employers. And if you haven't, get your BE car licence
  22. josharb87
    They are a generic machine, re-branded several times over. not necessarily a bad thing, plenty of stuff is re-branded. Dealer support will be the main consideration. Id be interested if you do get a price, they seem pretty expensive here ( caller Thaler)
  23. josharb87
    Looks very good!
