  1. You dont need new tyres you need a heavy rear weight block. Or water filled tyres.
  2. We are on the Llyn, our weather is often not what the TV weather report is saying its going to be. The weather report on that site is normally not to bad for accuracy. Its wind speed tends to underestimate quite a bit, so for wind we use the met office site.
  3. Justme

    air rifles.

    You might be able to stretch to a full PCP set up.
  4. You might want to change your mind. Local Weather Report
  5. I bet they set it up on auto repeat on the grinder & forgot them. Came back & they were half gone.
  6. The munter is no less safe than a fig 8 or proper belay device. All can be backed up with a prussik or similar.
  7. Rock climbers would use it if they need to, after say loosing a decender / fig 8 / stitch plate.
  8. Good ones go for strong money. Buy a tatty one & fix it up. Which I just happen to have lol. Why a 165? They are not that good really.
  9. Natural talent. I would put money on her not being allowed to due to H&S & council rules.
  10. Is "carry pack" posh talk for "kindling net bag"? If so then a few in here do them, Kindlet for one & I am sure there are more too.
  11. So why dont they just say ONE? Edit to add. That Denby set up looks neat.
  12. If the rear trailer has a good portion (I think its counted as more than 20%) of its weight on the first trailer then the two trailers become "as one". So adapt the first to take the fitting & weight distribution (as it would be behind the wheels) & adapt the second so the weight is further forward than in a normal trailer. If you could only ever tow one trailer then in the section for cars it would just say ONE yet instead it says Ok one has to be classed as a towing implement so not all standard trailers can count but still the answer to the question how many trailer can a car tow is two if you follow the rules. If you cant meet the requirement of the rules then one.
  13. Trading standards know....
  14. In other cases when you cant read & understand rules & regs. Read it fully & you will see that it says that if the first trailer is adapted. Legally fitting a tow ball is an adaptation (see your insurance if you doubt this). Is secured to, well you would wouldnt you. Rests on, well all draw bars rest on the tow ball. The bad bit is its for recovery. Either way you would be mad to do it. 1, the amount of lost time on the side of the road with Police VOSA ect 2, the speed you can travel at is 20mph & 30mph on motorways
  15. Yes it can. Not end of. The towing trailer has to be design for its purpose (ie more of a towing implement than trailer) & in such a way that it takes the weight of the rear trailer & the rear trailer is designed to be towed in that manner. You do have to watch GTW, MAM or what ever its called now. See Item 7 PDF here Now I hope that this finally put this to bed. YES YOU CAN IF YOU FOLLOW THE RULES End of.
  16. My mate charges 70p per meter for 4 sided planing (inc T&G, moudings ect) If its a pattern he does not have plus the knife costs.
  17. Your start up loads for the 1000w angle grinder will be quite high (could be as high as 4-5 times the rated amount). A good make 2000w job might work yet a cheap one might not. Not sure why the file dint work when a load 3 times higher did. Oh & most gennies are rated in KVA so a 2KVA is not the same as 2kw (well it is if the load is the right sort but yours is not) de rate the KVA by about 70% to get a "real" wattage for tools.
  18. Yes but most of them in first gear low ratio & a high RPM to run the topper. Prob like 150000 or more miles in top gear
  19. Nice. The rotator will make it much easier to do stuff.
  20. What pressure is your tractor hydraulics? Have you got all the pipes in the right place? Is the return going back to an open port? For a start I would remove the return & put it into a container. Then try it. I had an attachment once that would not work. Turned out that the quick fit I was using for the return was under pressure as I had it set to two way action not single & I had chosen the wrong quick fit to pair it up to. Once I worked out which fitting went with each other it was ok.
  21. They could just be checking that you are legally allowed to work in this country.
  22. Sleep in it with a shotty?
  23. Get a Sheaff / Terex. They have all the rams on the top side so they are better protected.
  24. For the extra money get one of THESE I have one on a 3.5 tonne digger & its solid. Very hand. Better if you have a quick hitch so you can change to & from the bucket. Edit to add, I have seen thumbs on eBay for much less. Just not one on at the min.
