  1. Best to start your own thread rather than hijack someone else's but here goes. Minor works Well your advertising is going to bring what it brings, the majority wont be that minor, you are going to need help but you can always get a freelance climber in. Kit Hand tools wise you are going to need a couple of saws as a minimum, hedge cutters, ladders, a sprinkling of climbing kit. Large kit wise you can muddle along with very little but as a general rule the more and better the quicker and more profitable the work will be. If I were starting from scratch the minimum I would want would be a tipper and a chipper.
  2. The new truck has room for 2 for when you break one:thumbup1:
  3. You have to quantify that as a statistic, while nearly every spotty youth aspires to a car, there are vastly fewer tractors on the road. Each time I have insured a tractor they specifically ask if its going to be used in road haulage, particularly timber.
  4. The scope of LOLER does not allow the inspector to tell you that it shouldn't be used, he can advise but for a LOLER inspection, if the item works as it should it passes If its damaged or worn out it fails
  5. For the chip box, it will lift on with the hiab. If you side hinge it off the flat the hiab will tip it but you might need to brace the slide first. For the welfare unit just lift it on or off with the hiab.
  6. Aint that just the truth?
  7. That would also be a useful thing for moving other things as well, just for example a competition grade land rover with several winches perhaps???
  8. I like those cuts a lot, in a couple of years when all the new thorny growth has erupted from those branch ends, it will be cracking nesting habitat for any number of songbird species. Any dead stumps will similarly become habit for saprophytes Accepting that the tree had to be cut for clearance, the new foliage will be in the right place to do the best job of intercepting pollution and attenuating noise, rather than encouraging the growth higher where it would be of "less use". If we did the "proper" neat pruning cuts that the industry has become indoctrinated into none of this wildlife benefit would happen. If you don't like those cuts, what's your opinion of hedge laying?
  9. Whats mariokart?
  10. Bet you could fit a telly and a sofa in the back too:laugh1::laugh1:
  11. The Willans straps join with a pair of "D"'s so its likely that someone somewhere (probably the manufacturer) said a Mallion was more appropriate. I can see the sense, a standard biner could easily be cross loaded whereas a delta loads evenly in all axis.
  12. I'm not but its likely whereas you seem convinced that the image is stolen
  13. doesn't tell me much, who's catalogue is that
  14. Don't you understand public domain? When the author places continent in PD they do it willingly, nothing stolen so your comparison doesn't make any sense.
  15. Who says you do?
  16. But once you put the picture in the public domain.........
  17. You will pay a price for a decent 330, there has been good export on them for a while now and as a "vintage" engine they just aren't as common as they used to be
  18. Only if it has been in use
  19. He does the shows with it He is usually at the Chatsworth country show See it in the flesh
  20. I know where there is one but you would have to prize it from the owners cold dead fingers
  21. When they start asking for cheaper I use the opportunity to introduce leaving the chip behind.
  22. That's a tad harsh, I don't know how it works in Canada but if the city have been negligent in their tree management surely they are in breach of a duty of care to others? I am a little confused at the direction the OP is taking to this situation. Benchmarking what a healthy tree would withstand is an approach I haven't seen before. In my experience (which is limited to UK law) the onus is on the failed tree.
  23. Have you thought this through? Have you ever driven a vintage HGV? I thought not, otherwise you wouldn't be considering this as a viable option. As others have said if you use it commercially its not tax or MOT exempt. Parts will be scarce. Compared to modern trucks it will be a turd to drive Does anyone else you know do this? Did you wonder why?
  24. This would be a good place to start http://www.urbanforestanalytics.com/sites/default/files/pdf/bond_tR.pdf
  25. I do reductions for cash............................ I fell and thin for cash as well:001_rolleyes: Ill get mi coat
