  1. Link???
  2. I have on several occasions on the direct instruction of a client.
  3. Is that a "law book"? and if you read it, it says "yours to dispose of", that doesn't say you cant return it to the owners property.
  4. The branches are the property of the tree owner removing them without permission is theft. They are also part of the tree owners property and while they may leave is property for a short while for handling reasons they don't effectively leave his land. How can that be fly tipping, would any judge convict you of fly tipping under those circumstances? Has anyone been convicted of fly tipping under those circumstances? Continuing from that, it is accepted that recovering costs from a non actionable nuisance is as good as impossible the same cant be said for the disposal of the waste and there is no reason the offended party should bear the cost of disposal. If the tree owner refused the return of the waste the other party can offer an action to recover the cost of disposal. Once that is made clear to the tree owner the likelihood of them declining is greatly reduced and the likelihood of an injunction is in the realms of the uberstubborn
  5. Give us a clue then, what books did you read it up in? If the branches are the property of the tree owner you cant fly tip them because they are his property, the very worse it can get is trespass and that's unlikely. If the tree owner did seek an injunction the other party can offer a counter suit to recover the cost of disposal of the offending branches.
  6. Quality :laugh1:
  7. No it isnt
  8. If what came first wins, the common law right to abate a nuisance existed a long time before that tree came into being.
  9. The errant parts of the tree are committing a trespass all of their own without penalty. Q. What's the penalty if you commit a trespass (without causing damage)? A. None, well nothing you would be concerned about.
  10. The law actually says that the arising's belong to the owner of the tree, if you take them its called theft. Some will say returning the arising's could amount to fly tipping but since the material originates from that property you are merely returning the owners property. You should take reasonable care to do no damage while returning them. There is certainly no law that says you cant return the arising's to the owner but there is a law that says the arising's belong to them.
  11. It cant be fly tipping if the material originates from that land
  12. Show me where it says that in law...........
  13. You can check the nose weight with a stick under the ball head resting on bathroom scales
  14. The powers that be wont like the nose weight, they will find something to yank your chain
  15. They are pretty easy to strip, any springs will be in the detent (the bit on the opposite side to the handle) but they are pretty harmless. Seals will be standard rubber "O" rings.
  16. That's more than double the rangers nose weight
  17. This is completely spurious Your common law rights allow you to prune back to the boundary and that means whatever work is required. If the tree cannot survive without the trespass then so be it, the survival of the tree cannot be used as a reason to licence the trespass. The common law rights exclude the criminal damage because criminal damage requires a criminal act and your common law rights make pruning back an entirely legitimate undertaking. Criminal damage also requires the intent or "Mens rea" to commit a crime. TPO and CA notwithstanding
  18. You can either run it off its own engine and pump or if your towing vehicle will run a PTO you can pipe that to the back and use quick release fittings I would advise caution on the nose weight, it will probably tow like a turd until you get some weight on the back.
  19. That pump tank unit just isn't suitable for your job, its for intermittent use applications such as tail lifts or small tippers. If you use it in anger it will die in short order
  20. If I spent 14k on a machine I would expect not to have to worry about the belts. But its not a belt, its usually 2 or three and it depends on how often they are failing, how many times they fail on a job and leave you looking like a plonker on front of the client, how many times you have to spend time changing them or waiting for a mechanic.
  21. If you don't tell the purchaser that the belts need checking and make sure they have the opportunity to rectify the problem it will remain the manufacturers problem.

    Oh YES!!

    What a piece of filth, it looks like the contents of a scrap heap kicked into a pile and welded where it touches. The front suspension and steering gear aren't up to the weight of that engine and if you are wanting monster truck you MUST have a V8.
  23. I don't want to put a downer on your inspiration but there are plenty of people out there who are quite happy with the "steady away" and who are we to judge them for not reaching what you think is inspirational. They are the everyday that make inspirational stand out. Be happy about that. They need no excuse for what they do or don't do, they are what they are.
  24. On appearance alone that's a huge improvement When and how much?
