Here you go, one David Brown rain cover for those with a "Hypothermia" model cab :laugh1:

Free to a good home one copy of the ISA certification study guide Its the first edition but most of it is still relevant First come would be a bit unfair so to give everyone a chance we just need to know why you deserve this font of all knowledge. I will get one of the moderators to pick the winner from the responses in this thread on Sunday the 26/3/2017 Its even free postage but UK mainland only.

That kind of drying is slow, chuck em through a rinse and short spin, they wont be dry but clean and nearly dry is a big improvement

What constitutes a "KIT" though, I have seen some gear addicts with bags of the large and bulging kind. It was a lot worse back when there was still plenty of kit about that needed engraving Clients can save time (money) if they do the marking and data entry part themselves and just leave the inspector to examine and sign off.

We are looking for a cheap stump grinder,

It looks like one of those Bearcat things, they run at about 45 degrees (I think)and what little power they have throws the head sideways -
A chimney lining is a pretty low temp application and not subject to abrasion. Cast linings are The inside of an air burner is a tougher life, Sodium silicate would be a better adhesive and a high alumina content would be the order of the day for the refractory lining.

The inner container would go all shapes and sizes then oxidise to nothing

Have you got the implements already? You could run a big pump straight off the PTO and get a hydraulic powered implement Just a thought........

while most Mog parts are specials and can be an expensive outing, its worth remembering that most vehicles are largely a collection of off the shelf components. Some "Mog" parts are third party offerings from people like Eaton, the trick is knowing what's compatible. A set of drop links and arms is hardly rocket science and there are a great many tractor parts out there that may be adaptable.

Nope, I have known any number of people in this industry who were proper inept and unable to get a proper grip of the simplest tasks.

Its a simple measuring task. Find the type you want to buy, check that the chassis rails are the same distance apart as the ones on the donor vehicle and check it will fit lengthwise You may need to move a bracket or two but it ought to be a simple transplant

Ha ha, the man that started this thread is Simon and no man I know could keep his pace for a 12 hour shift. Seriously though, most tree work is grunt and graft and a 12 hour shift on the tools would be an exception . There was a whole HSE industry topic a few years ago about not pushing the envelope too far. The tag line went something along the lines of "don't make your last cut, your last cut"
-
Contradiction in terms going on, a spliced termination is narrower than a sewn one. Most sewn terminations are too bulky to pass through a lot of hardware
-
There is no law as such because in the scope of law its a trivial matter de minimis non curat lex Accepted industry best practice is not to spike trees that are to be retained and that includes Lombardy, popular or not You could run foul of TPO or C.A. legislation if you damaged a protected tree but for a lot of them, it would mean the LA legal section sending out for a back brace.

The class refers to the chain speed the item is rated to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainsaw_safety_clothing

What you describe is an employee and as such all kit ought to be provided by the employer belongs to the employer. Some items of PPE aren't readily transferable in as much as, they would need washing or a hygiene kit but if the employer bought it, its still his, not yours. Some companies provide an allowance so the employee to make up the difference, for those who cannot manage without those diamante studded boots

That sounds like a plan, until the BASC underwriters want to see chainsaw certs:001_rolleyes: Back when such certification was new, there were ways around it but now it is ensconced in modern "risk averse CYA " thinking taking a way around can be the road to trouble.
-
You would think so but while keeping the bend radius "rope friendly" is good, too much surface area can be a hindrance. Big has lots of surface contact and thus friction which can lead to a situation where the object is too heavy to lower without a device but the device provides too much friction, even on a single wrap.
-
Its where the raft of modern CE, ANSI, homogenised and standardised devices started, it's called adapt and innovate and I don't think there is much wrong with that. If we didn't innovate we would all still be on nylon rope and a three knot system.
-
Much more recent than that mate but don't use those ally rims, steel is simple to weld and small diameter gives more flexibility :thumbup1:
-
Laugh it up, but that's how we did it back in the 1980's
-
Its certainly "key word rich". The SEO man did a real number on that one:001_rolleyes:

Oooops, too late

On the up side you could always run with theory that the overhang makes it less likely to snap on the middle like some crew cabs do

Put it on a weighbridge (preferably before DVSA do) As a rough guide, its a pound per KG for overload as gross or on an individual axle. Once your number gets into the ANPR data base you will be getting pulled regularly and become something of a cash cow. if an overload can be linked as causative to an accident, plod are going to be interested in that which bumps the penalties into the "industrial" category. As others have said, that body just looks like it needs a pull even if you have modified the suspension. Maybe re brand the company as "Styrofoam delivery inc":laugh1:
