    Google Wrexham Radiators - they will see you right (if it can be fixed they will fix it, if it can’t they’ll supply you one at the right money). Wonderful people!

    Nissan terrano, don’t think it’s standard though!

    Crane a MEWP in over the house, crane the arisings out to deal with roadside as you work. We would probably climb those though based on the pics, but would want to see them ‘first hand’ to be certain.

    The stop bar setup is better on the road tow, and it’s much much easier to swap the starter motor. Get one, you’ll love it!!! They must be the most underrated chipper out there (I’ve had 4, two of which are now with the gypos sadly).

    Check the sump - I’ve had a couple go porous from road salt and they are an engine out job to swap…

    Are you sure the slate isn’t properly bedded with a gap around the edge to allow the carpet to be fitted under? The carpet could well be cut but the cut isn’t visible. Doesn’t look like there’s any weight on that carpet to me. Or it is simply a massive bodge!

    Ha ha - still no though!

    No mate, can’t stand that monkey-walking-nasal-voiced-thick-as-****************-Manc-twat tbh!

    I was in Lviv on Tuesday-Wednesday this week delivering aid and vehicles for a local charity. It’s well away from the front line but there were air raid sirens going off as we arrived in the city and fighter jets overhead (precautionary I’d imagine). Armed soldiers everywhere and all businesses running off generators as the electricity supply is limited (the area is split into zones with each zone having 4 hours on/4 hours off/4 hours maybe). It was otherwise business as usual with people going about their business as usual, schools open, bars/restaurants open, buskers in the square etc. You could have been in any big European city tbh!

    That’s a dark art - are you actually a witch? Turntable trailers are essentially impossible to do anything backwards with!

    Taking cash machines looks really easy! Why would you have one outside so accessible?!

    Stokboard

    Just bare in mind that it expands and contracts quite a bit with heat - it’s great in applications where it can move a bit but can bow/wrinkle etc if movement isn’t allowed for.

    That might be the greatest machine I’ve ever seen!!!

    £3k looks like a mental price to me tbh. Talk the customer into burning the brash on site and just ring it up - a couple of guys for a day should easily sort that surely?
  15. monkeybusiness
    I’ve always wanted a go on one of those!!!

    I’ve had a KTS trailer with the 6.7m crane for a few years and am happy with it. The grab is not the best (the crane will lift more than the grab will keep hold of) but for the money they are very good. When it came I took it to a local fabricators to get a frame made for the spool block and they commented on how well built and thought out everything was. I don’t have any experience of the Moheda though I’m afraid.

    We essentially lost last year with family bereavement and planning department inertia - this year it will happen though!!!

    There is a Nugent dealer near here that is advertising big discounts on new in-stock trailers on Facebook.

    Yeah - FR Jones basically went on an all-out mission to destroy the market for all other chainsaw and arb kit suppliers by ‘stacking high and selling cheap’. I can’t help but think suppliers are now sick of having their products devalued and are possibly holding back supply. Either that or FR Jones are struggling for money and don’t pay their suppliers. I won’t spend money with them again, too risky.

    Sorbus are always brilliant - we don’t bother talking to anyone else.

    Pto chippers fed via a roof mount or mounted crane suffer from the operator not being able to see the feed rollers - much more efficient feeding them with a machine in my experience. But you obviously have to drag another machine to the job.
  22. monkeybusiness
    Yeah, it was/is a katsu and is apparently made from the same moulds etc as the genuine Makita equivalent. It is a very nicely made tool tbh, I wouldn’t quickly tell it apart from a makita. But the first one did go on fire which was not very confidence inspiring!!!
  23. monkeybusiness
    I bought a makita copy 18v brushless router from Amazon. It went on fire the very first time I used it!!! However, they sent another out and I’ve tried to get it to burn up but it works perfectly. I’d never leave it unattended with a battery fitted though.

    Are the wheels a different offset? Try fitting one of the Savero tyres to one of your existing 13’’ wheels fitted to that trailer and see if it moves the tyre away from the bolt head.
  25. monkeybusiness
    Is the correct answer! We’ve had all types of tyres on trailers and these Saveros are far and away the best from a hard-wearing and resilient perspective. (When fitting make sure the thicker wall is fitted to the outside - I’ve bought them built up onto rims before now and some were mounted backwards - it’ll make sense if you look at a tyre).
