    Tomfoolery

    Fixed that for you:laugh1:
  2. Seriously??
  3. A pre 97 allows you up to 8250kg MAM as a combination, the most you can possibly tow is 3500kg dependant on the MAM of the towing vehicle
  4. You need to get a start first and tickets without experience are of limited value, you will be of far more use to an employer (more chance of getting your foot in the door) if you can drive and tow a chipper
  5. Yes but a suitable strength one with a good bend radius Strops are the best, hooking the cable back on itself can lead to kinking and damage which is a bad thing
  6. Just plug your phone in:laugh1:
  7. Having made a few, the material of choice is the boron steel they use for digger bucket edges, it even has one side nearly there with the edge profile and any engineer can mill the other side
  8. I think it might be a bit rough:laugh1:
  9. Cos he has a bigger one so yours is clearly too small:laugh1:
  10. You can make that box tip cheap and simple
  11. Just don't give them your phone number, they will mither you and are harder to get rid of than leprosy:thumbdown:
  12. That's a tidy unit but I don't know why they put a turntable in there You don't need to have an "either or" in feed, the one on the picture looks hand feed compliant to me so a permanent modification would be in order
  13. I think a lot will have thought of this then thought, then thought, "sod that for a game of soldiers"
  14. For the timber to kill a dog of that size you would need a much bigger lump than that and it would need to be dropped from a substantial height :laugh1:
  15. Its just a diverter valve, if the machine is crane feed only you don't need any in feed protection
  16. Or even pork and Belsen just for the broad spectrum insult
  17. Bait them with something sticky so that cant happen Jam and peanut butter are good
  18. And you haven't filled the "bunk space" in the cab yet but good effort
  19. No its not going to "heal" its going to decay and fall Fell and replace then keep the squirrels off the new tree, it might not have been them but they would be rounded up ammong the usual suspects
  20. You are going to need to know what the weight distribution is, it would be easy to end up with something that wont do the job because of axle loadings
  21. Sounds like you stripped the splines in a drive flange
  22. That looks like a catch or retainer of some sort If you were to turn the item through 91 degrees it would bolt neatly to a box profile Didn't the wheelbarrow, I mean trailer come with instructons I don't thing is part of your trailer, its made of thicker gauge than anything else
  23. Based on what he was producing you would be best off finding someone with a workshop and letting them do it Those lumps are easily millable with a decent band saw, they will probably have a thickneser too. All of this is notwithstanding timber type and seasoning. If its not seasoned get it roughed out then dry it If you have enough to make it worthwhile, hire someone in with an Alaskan mill or similar Drilling a guide bar is possible but 2 there are better ways of making that guide with a bit of angle iron where you wouldn't need to drill the guide bar at all Like he ways in the video, step up you masochists
  24. Don't mention it, Oh, I see you didn't, Ho hum:laugh1:
  25. This comes down to the person you are dealing with. When I approached my local office about a discovery I had extensively self modified to extend the chassis and fit a tipper they just asked for an engineers report. They were on top of the job, but on another day, another broker looking at the same proposal might just save seen a headache and not fancied putting the effort in.
