Before you do that make sure your client is OK with you sharing that information. If you "dob your client in" intentionally or not, they might get upset and may well want to recover any losses from you.

Yes that's right, and someone, I think it was you but it matters not, said something along the lines of "I use it because the price difference isn't that much and its better for engines", all I did was point out that the difference is DOUBLE or worse and ask for some evidence that its better. I have used alkylate fuel in other parts of the world and I am aware of the benefits. I am looking for a reason to use it in the UK but at the moment the problems far outweigh the benefits. As for the bench thread, that's a well populated place and doesn't need any help at the moment.

As others have said. Aside from road risks the only insurance you must have by law is ELCI Employers Liability Compulsory Insurance. In the unlikely event that you don't have employees or anyone that helps you (paid or not) you don't need ELCI

You can go to landrover if you like or you can just alter the one you have, or get a cheapo off ebay

I didn't say that, they wont deliver and collecting is out of the question

Yes it can, fill in the appropriate part of the V5 post it to Swansea and wait, simples

What's the body got to do with the revenue weight? As its under 3500kg is doesn't have a plate as such, its revenue weight is declared on the log book
-
Is that what it is? and the fact that most of us cant get hold of it wont have anything to do with it?

Pump plus oil runs out at eight quid and is available everywhere This is £17.60 and my nearest is over an hour away. Aspen two stroke fuel 5ltr | lubricants-&-fuel | aspen-fuel | Gustharts
-
You are paying too much for our oils and you don't get vat back you offset it (IF you are vat registered) and there is only more vat because you are spending more money So it is still double.
-
Saying its a little dearer when its actually at least double
-
Amazing, and how exactly does this fantasy creature of yours cause decay?
-
You are on form with the ducking and dodging today, care to be a be more specific, I see you aren't exactly talking from experience, its easy to reproduce advertising blurb from the seller. BTW Aspen is at least double the price of pump, is 100% what you had in mind when you said not much difference? I appreciate that you are happy with the product but I think you are over egging the pudding a little.
-
OK duck that one then, care to expand on this Over the last couple of decades I have run countless saws, most of them into the ground as well as fixing third party kit and I have yet to have one expire because it was running on pump, so, why do they run longer on alkylate?
-
Care to say how much of a difference?
-
Trouble with that is, if you run out of alkylate and have to go back to the regular stuff you will be forever mucking about tuning the saw when all you want to do is pick it up and use it
-
Just in fields? Behave or I will set hamadryad on you, once he has had his way with you, you will koi ow the right of it. So any news on the bacterioslug?
-
The main thing I would be looking for would be the ability to drive the van and tow the chipper, if I have a man with that and a work ethic, training and tickets would be forthcoming at my expense.
-
What's a tree slug? Is it like a regular slug only with an NPTC? How does this sub species of slug cause decay? How do bacteria cause decay in trees? What effect will torching the wound have on the cambium? Won't you need to stay there on torch duty keeping watch for spores and bacteria ready to strike as and when needed? Flame sterilisation is a valid process in the right place but if applied to trees it's about as impractical as it gets. I wonder if Fungi cause decay in trees?
-
You aren't the first person to say that but it's not strictly true. A true sub contractor will usually provide his own kit but that's not necessarily true of a freelancer. Some, particularly in tree work may bring kit (particularly PPE) but take machine operator as an example. A forwarder driver wouldn't bring a forwarder same as a groundie wouldn't bring a chipper.

Left in a van over night is just making it easy for them

1st post, perils of dealing with bureaucracy
treequip replied to Simple Simon's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
He might have given a location as Australia but don't let that confuse you, he is definitely speaking about UK. -
Every single site I go on and that's quite a few, that and the CSCS card.

We used Lac Balsam in Germany until the early 90's, for a small wound a full covering and for a dinner plate size just the cambium, it stuck to your pants and all your kit.
