Oh I am not paying them, they don't even know about it, it looks like a hornbeam but I am told its a walnut and they are all worth a grand no matter what, Purdy buys them for gun stocks you know so I am going to steal the tree. Better money that collecting scrap:thumbup1:

Caravan mate, seen em do it on Top Gear last week, the only real way to drag one of those chicken sheds.......
-
I cut a hornbeam down once, it might have been a beech though, hard to tell really, I have a sycamore to cut today, pretty sure its not hornbeam.

David Bailey couldn't have made that look like anything other than Bart Simpson

Is it a hornbeam? -
That's part of a hiezohack and as well as the tracked one there is a Landrover mewp that's had a right battering

This link is to a Greenmech on the co part auction site, if you are looking after the sale date the link wont work. You will need to be a member at co part to bid. Its a stolen recovered machine wearing a Rodgers sticker (Rodgers plant hire did have a bad run of getting chippers nicked a while back), one careful owner many careless users? Copart

Of course, but a split drop means more work and that means more money
-
Yup that will work well, oh wait, aspen is treble the price...maybe not then:laugh1:
-
Couldn't agree more, the same is true of vehicles. I cant understand why the winter tyres for my Land Rover wont fit the wife's Nissan shopping trolley. I mean don't these people talk to each other?.......... :laugh1:

That's within the bounds of possibility but to get MPG like that you wont be having any "fun"

Joe public can buy the new formula but the trade can still buy the pukka stuff

Its got this companies stickers on it, a quick call to them would shine a light light on it JR Plant - Crane Hire and Contract Lifts, Preston, Lancashire, UK

A picture "borrowed" from somewhere else, a location remote and no feedback

Fixed that for ya

Hmmmm Unlikely but possible. The common factor is the oil, what oil are you using
-
How do you recon that then? The company would be accountable IF they owned it, reading the blurb it is owned by the man privately.

Did you read it before your knee jerked?? The spokesman added that a full restoration programme had been completed over two years ago

Blimey, finally got a website, Mrs SS built it...Her first.

Good site, simple and effective. Although work of that standard would sell if it were wrapped in nothing more than old newspaper -
When you do the arb loler course you get a cert that says you are competent to inspect arb gear for the purposes of loler, I don't know how much more arb you can get
-
Well Lantra and NPTC set the standard and they are our industry
-
Nope Loler is a piece of legislation, nothing more than words on paper. It says kit should be pukka and well maintained. NPTC/lantra/City and Guilds are the main agents for training and testing inspectors. Any judgement call is down to the individual inspector, arb is a dirty job and one of the main causes of a biner failing an inspection is crud preventing the barrel rotating and achieving the lock position. This has to happen when slammed shut and when closed under force of the barrel spring alone. Once clean they usually pass and whilst giving the used biner a dose of WD or similar I can well see how the inspector would hand a brand new unit back to the client for them to make the call. In this case they have sent the item back to the manufacturer who hasn't tested it in the same manner as the inspector that failed it.

Try flowfit (on ebay) for your hydraulics. Liking the bevelled corners on the table, for next time the blade can be made from digger bucket edge material, its "ground engaging" so high in boron and more durable than most materials. The table is big but when you start processing arb waste you cant have a table too big. You might have left a little more toe room under the front of table but its not that much of a problem Nice job.

As a freelancer I regularly find myself following chippers various and I can tell you all the single axle machines bounce like a rubber ball, they often "grab air" even on the most insignificant speed bump little wonder they end up horizontal now and again
