  1. It is that easy, they will look at the request and decide what to do, if the new weight is acceptable (within the design weight) you should get the amended document back in short order. If the changes are of a more radical nature they might want you to bring it to VOSA for an inspection. A lot of this is to be sure you aren't up to no good. Serious changes may require a single vehicle approval (SVA)
  2. Fill in the appropriate part of the V5 and post it
  3. Clients for the most part don't give a monkeys about 3998, the tree is a possession like any other, that's why for the greater part we don't work to B.S. As far as discussion goes, its what you discuss. Ripping into someone else's work and second guessing them and T.O's based on some here say is pointless That tree looks bad but that's how it looks, no end of chat is going to change that or prevent it happening again.
  4. My view is that its between the TO and the contractor, its someone else's work and nowt to do with me you or this forum.
  5. When you get out of the cab its like you have been on a boat for a day or so.
  6. I like your wife and her opinions are great:laugh1:
  7. That would have been all wrong particularly yesterday, my flag is the cross of St George.
  8. I have driven a mog with a front loader, you might not think its Christmas when its been fitted
  9. Band strapping machines, you need the banding and the metal clamps
  10. The guys on the ground held the rope fast, it put a fair old bend in the stem before giving up what was an uneven fight with the lack of a pulley and all. When the rope let go the stem whipped the poor bugger like a top, his saw lanyard was a nice long one and allowed the saw to get maximum acceleration before it bashed him in the ribs (twice) All in all badly planned, under equipped and badly executed, its a great example in how quickly you can het out of your depth in tree work Hope the poor bugger was OK
  11. If its not protected its fair game to protect If its not protected its fair game to fell
  12. If you are short for time and a TPO is imminent ring barking makes the TPO moot because the tree was dead before it was made.
  13. But have a care that there is a break away in the system. If the bar pinches in the wood you don't want the saw and a chunk of timber hanging off your rope and anchor point.
  14. Because they are representing the interests of their client, contractors aren't there to dob the client in, they are there to provide a service. The client wants the trees gone and the LA haven't yet served the TPO, there isn't time to fell the trees before an order is served but you cant serve an order on a dead tree so ring barking it is. If the planners had done their jobs better, ring barking the trees would have been illegal and probably wouldn't have happened. This is just the battle that developers have with planners, it only takes one or two enthusiastic tree huggers to get the entire planning system a bad name. Many developers are wary of tree issues because they can stand in the way of building and building is what they do.
  15. Nope, put the discounted price in then bring it up to retail with admin and handling charges.
  16. I have this type on my ifor Can't fault them Pair of 12v Square Rear LED Trailer Lights *3 YEAR WNTY* Stop/Tail/Indicator | eBay I also fitted some to a mates trailer and he still owes me for the lights...you know who you are......
  17. That's the one:thumbup1:
  18. A ballast resistor in the trailer circuit would sort that
  19. I think they have a typo it should read Cack not Dack
  20. I used to run the kids tree at the ISA climbing events. My advice would be,........... don't do that, its a lot of work.
  21. This is very true, back in the day if you wanted a top handle saw it pretty much had to be the 020, if you were buying one saw from Stihl it made sense to get all your others at the same shop. I grew up on Stihl and but for this policy wouldn't have changed brands. I am predominantly Husky now I realise that I am one person in a small sector of the chainsaw market but I think there are a lot of one persons.
  22. Good job
  23. They showed the remains of the roots on the news report this morning, there wasn't a lot left from what I could see. Looked typical for meripilus. That's not a diagnosis but something had definitely been doing bad things to the roots.
  24. You are probably right, its even made the pressure in the jockey wheel low
  25. The 222 is quite long in the tooth now, there are plenty of clapped out examples but good ones are still out there.
