  1. Don't forget the tax man will want his bit before you get your hands on it as well:thumbdown:
  2. Hire or reward is anything you get a pecuniary benefit from, shifting chip or logs from a punters property or delivering stoves, makes no difference There is no such thing as hire or reward insurance per se, commercial insurance is the use of a vehicle for hire or reward, third party or own goods
  3. You might not be on the same page as the rest of us. Here in the UK, the name timberwolf is ubiquitous with wood chippers rather than bandsaw blades.
  4. This would be my guess, as a freelancer I follow quite a few chippers and they all bounce as they get dragged mercilessly over speed humps and the like.

    Guess Who

    I missed this first time around You lost me, care to expand a little?
  6. Its not impossible for them to break, badly made circlips can and will fail, the problem you have is proving that it was duff.
  7. I haven't but I wouldn't use that product. Ya get what ya pay for. The husky parts are about £250.00 The PRC monkey metal option is a shade under £40.00, now I know dealerships and genuine parts have overheads but call me a cynic if I wonder where they saved the 200 or so quid. There are good pattern parts out there. I have used Meteor extensively in the past and not had a bad one yet.
  8. Pay increases with productivity I think you are spot on but I might have offered the pay review at 6 months. Way too many "green but keen" with tickets thinking they are worth top money from day 1
  9. I wondered where that went, it fell off the back of my defender tipper:thumbup1:
  10. For what they cost they ought to be immortal:laugh1:
  11. You might want to mention WHERE you are, how old you are, do you have a driving licence, trivial things like that....
  12. Before we get into all that, what is it you intend to be winching?
  13. That's useful. Can you cite that for us please
  14. Have a look on screwfix or similar Plenty of bags with all the pockets you could need
  15. Anyone else got "spangles" in their childhood?
  16. At that budget you will need to be good with spanners but go with the Disco, cheap on parts and easy to fix
  17. You got that right................... Bergen rain is far superior to any other rain I have encountered, the drops are much bigger and more "manly" than most rain. It also has endurance not found elsewhere, it is measured by calendar rather than clock.
  18. No its not, it depends if the lender knows its there, if they don't ask just don't tell them.
  19. I felt a bit damp because it had been raining earlier in the day:thumbdown:, other than that I wasn't even slightly bothered, I was on the ground filming it, it wasn't my job or my problem.
  20. Possibly but them wood turners do like a bit of spalting:thumbup1: Its not going to be board material so run a saw through and see how bad it is
  21. Indeed this is true but when they go they fail big and predicting when is a lottery. For me Merip on Beech with a target means break out the big saws.
  22. Industry best practice backed by the strong arm of the HSE Each karabiner used to connect the harness to a lifeline needs to have a springloaded self-locking gate that requires at least three distinct movements to open it. http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/afag401.pdf The recommendation specifically mentions the harness attachment but as an industry we seem to have applied this across the board
  23. This one isn't Stein Plasma Work AQ ground helmet assembly, MSA Sordin ears/mesh visor | F R Jones and Son This one is Stein Super Plasma PL climbing helmet assembly, MSA Sordin ears / mesh visor | F R Jones and Son Its about the numbers not the chinstrap:thumbup1:
  24. As long as the property is registered you can download the plan and title from the land registry. I would not hold out any great hope of the documents bringing any relief. The tree belongs to whoevers land it is growing on, if it straddles the boundary its logical to assume that the cost of any necessary works should be shared pro rata. I wish you luck convincing the other party of that.
  25. That's meripilus giganteus alright, it has been having its wicked way with your trees roots, probably for quite some time. As far as the statutory protection goes its a bit of a moot point, merip will eventually compromise the roots so badly that the tree fails. Get a contractor and have them sort the consent with the LA. Consent will be forthcoming and it should take days rather than weeks
