Vehicles OVER 3500kg are subject to "O" licence
-
Yes but its a PITA, better to look out for a second pair of spikes
-
The spikes are the same, its the gaff that differs, pole gafs are a lot shorter and best for poles and thin barked trees. Long gaffs are great for spongy barked trees and those ivy clad horrors but take a lot of getting used to on anything else.

Calibration takes half an hour every 2 years, you will spend more time drinking coffee than dealing with tacho issues, if "tacho time" impacts your margin that badly you need a new business model.

Hi Steve Unless its a planning application the LA cant condition anything, its a "211" and the ONLY option is a TPO If it is a SSSI that's natural England's remit, the LA has no interest and couldn't bring a prosecution it they tried
-
You need to stop ranting and start thinking I don't get why you are so hung up on the tacho issue, its just a card to fill in (Or a digital one is less again) As a tree surgeon there wont be many days where you get out of your first driving period so its not like you are going to run out of hours. You cite a trailer of 2700kg but you can go to 3500kg with the land rover, and (insert fanfare) the land rover is 4x4 and as such qualifies as a dual purpose vehicle and is tacho exempt (insert large cheer)
-
The issue is indeed the prevention of disturbance but that has NOTHING to do with the "211" nor does the authority have any power to require any sort of paperwork other than the "211" They can ask but you don't have to comply, they can require and you don't have to comply. If the contractor is concerned about the presence of a protected species they can by all means get a report but that's between the contractor and the ecologist he is paying. The report is nothing to do with the LA, even if they did have sight of a report how would they do anything about it? They have no powers to insist any recommendations were met. This is just some LA dude justifying their own existence
-
What is all this rubbish about bats?? The man has been asked to cut trees in a CA and the LA's officer has asked for an ecology report. The simple answer is NO I don't think we will be doing that, here is your "211" see you in 6 weeks

Hear hear:laugh1:

CPC has nothing to do with what's in the truck. If your main occupation is driving you need a driver CPC. If driving is incidental to your work you don't need one,,,,,,,,yet
-
Nope, you are getting "O" licence and driver CPC mixed up. The vehicle is used in connection with your business which is run for hire or reward. The other option is private HGV which cannot be used for anything commercial. You need a driver CPC if you drive vehicles exceeding 3500kg as your main occupation. As a tree surgeon your main occupation is cutting trees
-
Are you sure? There is only one of them, its a one off build with a V12 merlin engine in it
-
5 grand?????? no where near enough :thumbdown::thumbdown:
-
I have just re read your original post and its way too confused for me to offer any meaningful advice. This one is also confused, forget kit logs chip, they are all payload. You cant exceed the MAM. The only thing to worry about is MAM
-
Not a bit excessive, in fact the extra power only just balances the sartorial elegance of that classic Bentley shape. All I need is a silk scarf and a leather flying helmet, oh and half a mill to buy the car:001_rolleyes: What does a kidney go for these days?.................
-
No mate, its a non standard Bentley with a merlin engine, that's 27l and a 2 stage supercharger for the days when 8l just isn't enough:laugh1:
-
Yup, just needs a couple of .303's to make it a bit more "warbird":laugh1:
-
Still not getting this:confused1: Conservation area means a "211" notification. He cant "tell" you anything. A "211" is a notification of intent so you are the one doing the telling.
-
If I owned the Berkin I wouldn't drive it, its a motoring icon and far too valuable to chance getting wrecked. The meteor has a Merlin engine, 27l and a supercharger......droooool
-
When I win the lottery I am going to get this Power and elegance
-
That's a confused looking car, the designer was on batman with Bilbo begins front door.
-
Don't take this the wrong way but how well have you understood the situation? I only ask because the 3500kg is GVW not GTW and its own goods rather than equipment.
-
That can be welded. Cast welding is a bit specialised but it can be done
-
Whats the best excuse youve been given for taking a sicky

Don't even go any further than that, this is an old man ranting thread. "You tell that to the kids of today and they don't believe you"................. -
Hmmmmm
