  1. Best not tie any knots in it then either.
  2. https://www.facebook.com/ttgrafix?fref=ts Also on ebay. They design & make you fit. Fitting is easy, Even easier on a flat sided vehicle.
  3. Not hugely. I would guess that the elec motors are about 2kw each. Getting 4kW from the PTO might take 8kW of engine power or just over 10hp. It would also leave the tractor hydraulics free to do another job. However I now know that the point of this is to get better performance out of the existing rams so keeping the elec pumps is a non starter. I would guess with a small tractor the flow rate is going to be low so will either need high engine speed or a PTO hydraulic pump.
  4. As there are a few welders on here I will mention the deal that BOC are doing for hobby welders. You can get a cylinder of MIG or TIG gas with a very low yearly rental if you mention the Volkszone deal when you phone them up. They have even dropped the fixed charge they normal charge each time you collect. MIG Y size argoshield gas 25.60 Surcharge 1.31p Rental 37.40 per year TIG Y size pureshield argon Gas 31.34 Surcharge 1.31p Rental 54 per year
  5. That sort of structural fab work now comes under some new legislation & you have to be a certified welder working to EN1090 if its not your own building or its offered for sale in any way. That would include fixing stuff you break on someone else site while doing other work. If its fixing stuff you break on your own barn say, then that might be ok.
  6. How is this any different to any other job that needs a ladder? In fact they seem to have made it quite safe with the top fixed & the bottom in perm fixings.
  7. Yes just found a doc on the .Gov site that explains it clearly that it does retrospectively affect all current taxed cars too.
  8. Check out the kit on here & ask any questions on here
  9. Will selling a car that already has a tax disc in the window result in a transfer of the tax or a refund?
  10. Watch the number of cloned vehicles rise. Would be dead simple to do now with no disc on the screen. Buy two similar cars or vans, buy a spare set of plates & bobs your uncle. Two vehicles taxed, mot'ed & insured for the price of one.
  11. Check out the VAT deminimis rules for firewood. You can sell quite a lot to a commercial user before you need to sell at 20%. linky Read sections 7.1.2 & 7.1.3 & 7.2
  12. Re B+E your employer would be wrong. Lots of people thought this when it first came in. Grandfather rights to the B+E does allow them to supervise B+E learners. Re the C cats they would be right that a grand father rights cat C+E cant supervise cat C+E. They need to take the test & wait 3 years. Re a tested cat C + E. They can supervise a cat B+E. The reduction in rights to supervise was limited to the vocational cats which does not include cat B+E.
  13. Def dont do it to your slings. Our local shop has a board with a sling on it. It had been cut on one edge, nailed through the middle & a bit of sand paper rubbed THREE times across its width. It was then tested to destruction. It failed at HALF its rated strength at the sanded part.
  14. If its on road using red it will be limited to 1.5km.
  15. You have all missed the boat on this one. All inland water boats now have to use full duty (and its still red but sold at white prices) diesel for propulsion. They can still buy reduced duty for non propulsion use like heating / cooking / charging bats / making electricity. This happened a few years ago.
  16. That trailer & the company are getting a right pasting on a British construction machinery forum HERE
  17. Why not suggest a compromise like the big contractors do? The will have a sign something like this:- YOUR BIG COMPANY NAME working for XYZ utilities
  18. To late now but I would have used a breathable membrane over the stud work to ensure that it is water tight. Those T & G planks will leak like a sieve. Also consider adding some internal diagonal braces within the stud work so that the T&G is not the only thing stopping racking. Remember that emergency is going to put huge loads on the structure so keep the top weight as low as possible & plenty on bracing.
  19. It is, does not change the value of the information or cost anyone that does sign up any extra.
  20. What do you all use? I have signed up to Izettle They all seem to charge about the same transaction fees & this one had the cheapest card reader at £59 inc VAT. If you use that link you will get your first transaction free.
  21. Am I the only one that never uses charcoal on the BBQ? I just keep a supply of lots of suitable sized bits of good really dry hardwood. Start the fire in plenty of time & the jobs a goodun.
  22. Look up "low ropes" games or course for loads of ideas.
  23. Will you price by the day / hour or the tonne / lorry load? What will your rate be?
