    Rams aren't any tons pressure John, in order to know what force a ram will deliver you need to know the dimensions of the ram and the operational pressure As far as powering it off a tractor goes most tractors have a feed and return (even if you have to improvise on some older models) The splitter will have an open centre valve to operate it, just plug the feed and return into the feed and return on the tractor and away you go.

    My money is on JCB, the early ones had those big assed threaded collars on them. Bet he says he bought it as a single item and hasn't a clue:laugh1:

    Sooooo that has to beg the question, which category do you fall into?

    Or not, if the tree were a good candidate for an order it would probably have got one. For less worthy trees its only natural that the LA would tend toward the "negotiation" tactic in cases where if they TPO'd it they would probably loose at appeal. When all is said and done the acid test for the LA officer looking at a CA tree has to be, "would I win this at appeal", if the answer is yes then crack on with the TPO, if not then let it go, or try to bluff the owner that you have powers you don't. As for the admin, well that's just a form to fill in and its free, as for delays, well if it were hand to mouth enough that that was a deciding factor I would go stack shelves for Tesco's

    I do it but the HSE frown upon the practice, sounds like yours is domestic works so that's outside their remit anyhow. The over riding factor should be time to assistance, calling in on a periodical basis is a poor system, say the interval is hourly and you get hurt at the start of the hour, the next call in is an hour away then that person has to get to you or mobilise help to what is essentially an unknown location. It could take quite some time for help to arrive and if you are badly injured it might be too long Consider getting a labourer in for the chainsaw days

    The operative word there is ASK, they ask and you can decline.

    Why would heave be a problem? Its a situation that exists when a house is built on a desiccated clay soil with a high shrink ability index. The fact that you "think" you are on a clay soil only indicates that you need to establish facts. find out what the soil is and take it from there.

    Could it be a transmission from Radio 4 about longbows perhaps

    Mate its not a "who has the biggest" competition, its about being able to follow instructions, if you wanted to know the rate you should have sent an email

    You need to know Mike to realise that he is deadly serious about that

    If you have a compressor try blowing back to the tank to clear any gunk in the pump

    Waste oil is bad but that's just quackers:laugh1:

    Yes and no, they fit but they will probably have the wrong hinges, and series doors will be just as rotten as defender ones.

    If stacked against a wall the middle of the pile can get a but mouldy, you can get around it by building some drainage tube in to encourage air flow

    Has it had bio oil in it, gums up the works of left too long

    For those of you wondering what "gree hills" is all about, its what the ipad predictive text did to green hilux Note to self start checking ipad before it really embarrasses you (again)

    For sure but I am not convinced this boy isn't taking the pee

    What does it matter if you can't start it anyhow?

    At the risk of repeating myself the geometry on double cab tippers is piss poor for load carrying. All the weight is over or beyond the back axle, it's easy to be under weight on the entire vehicle but have a significant axle over load. The gree hills is a perfect illustration of this.

    In a CA its not an application its a notification. The LA has 2 options, they can make a TPO to prevent you executing your notified works or they can let you get on with it

    A shock absorber is a hydraulic ram, making a regular ram act as a damper is a simple enough thing.

    All the way a myth and its stuff like this that propagates it. That's just what they told you to do got their convenience, it has no legal basis.
