Doesn't look that bad to me. I like the simplicity. From memory. Right hand clamp log. Left hand up to cut so high he can only just reach to so low he has to twist. Then move left hand down left to split followed by move right hand to right needing a move right to bring log in. Plus last two or three cuts you have to manually move log. Trust me after 15 tonnes in a day you will be stuffed. As I said better than a saw and axe / splitter but for a processor its a weak design. However its cheap as chips and thats all that seems to matter these days.

Yes better than saw and axe. I can just see the chiropractor rubbing his hands watching someone use that machine.

Expect actual delivered cost to be double that. I also suggest you look at the the U tube vids of that type in action. Slow & lots of dancing to use the controls that are all over the place.

Fast driving / heavy braking? Is heat coming from bearings or brakes? Hand brake rods stuck, cable stuck, oval drums, seized brake parts. Tyre pressure too low, wheels badly aligned.

But here you say they are limited already.........

Er you said IF they get close you will take them limited. QUOTE I run 3 businesses, tree services, Saw milling and timber merchants. If I get a turnover approaching vat, I’ll just set up each business as a ltd. Each stays under the vat threshold.

How? They must all use combined equipment ect. I run two very different businesses. I would like one to be VAT & one not but as i am self employed & not Ltd its ME that goes VAT registered so both would have to be or none.

Hardly putting the boot in when the actual law says that BE should have been under the adi scheme & most good BE trainers are still ADI. Same law in NI & they have to be ADI (they have the same driver issue & still have BE) NI is part of the UK so should have same rules. The rules were crazy that to instruct someone in a car be they a learner or full licence holder for money or payment in kind you had to be an ADI, yet add on a trailer & now you dont yet there are increased risks. Why wonder? try asking me. But no you prefer to be Mr angry & abusive instead. I am sure you voiced you fully informed position on the issue. I guess now you will campaign for the removal of the H&S in your industry too? I agreed with some of what they wanted to do. I even had better suggestions on how it could work & keep the safety & reduce costs for everyone but still increase tests for LGV. They have made announcement yet still dont have a date or a plan on how the changes will work. So now loads cant tow over 750kg / 3500kg combined until the law changes. Sadly by the time the gov do consultations all they are looking for are stats to back up what they have already decided to do.

totally agree but training gives people the core skills gets them started on the right path to gaining practical skills.

Thanks, The towing test was def not a rubber stamp job.

You mean people like me that was also on stop start during covid? Yes I am still an ADI & after just one FB post the phone is hot with work plus I am adaptable & will never go hungry. PS ADI's will eventually be out of work. So helping someone gain a car lorry or bus licence is not productive? Odd stance.

Wow you've been on the brave pills or stopped taking your meds.

Ah that old pile of rubbish. You will actually find that most vocational trainers can actually do it / have done it but have also skilled up on teaching skills. Most people that can, cant teach is more accurate. true which is why I am regulated as a trainer as I kept my ADI status up. I also campaigned for it to become regulated but the DVSA would not do it even though the actual Act says it should be an Adi to teach it. Oddly their responce was your only teaching them to do the trailer bit yet their own test is heavily weighted for the driving & most fails were for the driving. oddly the better marker for a trainer is how their clients do on test & afterwards. Lets all hope that you all dont get legislated out of a job / owning a company with 10 days notice........

Remember you dont know what you dont know.......

There are definitely safe & unsafe ways to hitch a trailer. Its not just about using an approved method its about risk reduction. Horse (and other sectors too) people without fail wont apply the brake before un hitching for example. Honestly my best clients tended to come from the Arb world. Which is why you all think its not needed. You understand risk, you take your time & mostly have already towed / reversed prior to taking the course. About 10% of the rest will take all day to almost get reversing & can only do it by "painting by numbers" rather than understanding the process.

Or in the ditch

If you take a second & stop thinking about you & start to think about the rest of the population you would see why its needed. People that can are very much in the minority. Over the last 6 years & about 1000 tests I have had TWO clients that could have passed the driving bit with no help, both would have failed the hitching bit. Get plenty that would pass the reverse once they know the rules but almost none that would have passed the hitching without the training or the pre course docs / videos.

most test fails / hard client were the one that a, have been doing it for a long time & b, think they have nothing to learn.

Of course ill be studying. Apart from the 30th November the only other option was tomorrow, thought that might be pushing it though. Any good resources you can recommend? We package up a 6 month online training course / app with one attempt at each test. You can buy the same course direct but for a shorter time to save a little money.

No one yet knows the rules in place for doing so. It is an option that I can offer to the local LGV places.

yup tests only up to the 20th. After that its tough, dont tow.

Hoping to pass is a sure fire way to fail. You need to STUDY HARD ITS NOT LIKE THE CAR TEST

PS you need medical first to gain a non pre 97 provisional.

If you have a pre 97 C1 provisional you have to phone to book.
