monkeybusiness

I went with the Trailertek axle a few years ago and it was perfect (until some count pinched the chipper)...

Exactly the info I was looking for - thanks Slim.

I've just emailed Nissan to find out their take on it all...

It gets banned every year and then seems to be released for a limited time as there isn't really anything else that can do the same job. And then gets banned again! If it is released this year I would like to spray a hedge, but don't know if it will kill the hedge as well as the bracken (that would defeat the purpose of the exercise to be fair!).

Does anyone know if Asulox can be sprayed on bracken growing through a mixed hedgerow (hawthorn/holly/bramble/hazel) without killing the hedge itself (providing Asulox is not banned at the time of spraying of course)? Cheers!

Thread resurrection (sorry!). I recently received a replacement v5 from the DVLA for my new (september 2016) Navara. The only difference is the mass in service - it was 2038 on the original v5, and the new one has it as 2023. The max permissible mass is 3010 on both. The cover letter with the new v5 states that the amendment has been made to provide evidence that the payload threshold is above that required by business customers to claim the VAT back. There is no mention of what this threshold is (I believe it to be 1000kg). The difference between mass in service and max permissible mass (ie payload) was 972kg and is now 987kg (still not 1000kg!). Mass in service and unladen weight are obviously different, and I still have nothing anywhere to refer to that gives unladen weight, either on the vehicle or in the owner's manual. Someone must have had a problem with the VAT for Nissan to go to the trouble of changing everyone's v5s. I know it doesn't directly refer to speed limits but it all seems to be within the remit of this thread somehow.

I've got a few electric winchmax on various kit - they are very very good (incredible value for money). Never had any trouble other than a bad earth (which is more than I can say for a Warn winch we had that was a load of pony). If the hydraulic versions are as good as the electric ones you won't go wrong.

They make chippers look incredibly expensive!

Cheers Eddie.

I can't find any info on those Sany cabbed minis anywhere. Where did you hear about them Eddie?

I think it is some sort of rhyming slang to do with dogging...

To be honest I think I misread your original post. I thought you said you managed to pick up the damaged winch for free (ie you didn't pay anything for it). Rereading it I realise that isn't what you wrote, you are actually saying that you managed to free it off and don't allude to what it cost you. My bad, sorry! Either way, they look like a decent winch if they can be had for the right money!!!

No leaves here mate.

So your mate robbed you (which you are bitter about), and you then robbed someone else (which you are pleased about)...

I know the early ones had clutch issues if used for towing (I guess I was lucky there) and they all have 4wd switch issues (easy fix, poor design tbf). I love them though, mine have all been worked hard (not really abused - I change oil and filter every 6k and keep them relatively clean/don't damage bodywork/carry livestock in the cab etc). My new one will do 30mpg on mixed driving, does 125mph, tows 3.5tonnes legally (and easily), and is a very nice thing to drive. IMO there isn't another vehicle as good out there (if there was I'd be driving it).

I've had no issues of note over 10 years and am on my 4th Navara. Big J - I reckon you must have bought the worst Nissan ever built (super unlucky!).

What speed does that motor spin? Do you still have decent line speed? Will it stall/blow off? I'm assuming it's a similar motor to the one Eddie set up, but an excavator runs at higher pressures than your tractor I think.

Sounds good!

Bang hornbeam in for the hedge, it'll grow in poor ground and looks almost identical to beech winter and summer. As suggested, get a design/plan and buy trees and shrubs to fit. Fruit trees are a great idea (but avoid anything prickly!).

Do this if you have a front linkage and spool - you will not get a better set up for the money IME. That is a bargain!

We had a rope go into a Greenmech 1928 Safetrak - it stalled the chipper and made a right mess inside (ripped the bearing out of the rotor). Fortunately nobody injured, but it happened incredibly fast.

No probs. For free or for money?

With that radio remote, would boom up/boom down be 1 function or 2 functions?

Do you take chip?

Autocorrect on this site changed that from capitals... Jon must have had an autocorrect bypass!
