Thanks for the good intent but I can virtually guarantee no-one would have the same pattern or positioning. Pics are close-ups; make, model, serial no. are recorded separately. No marks on fuel tanks or top covers! Cheers.

All my power tools have unique patterns of indents made in the largest plastic body parts with a 5mm drill bit, photographed and put on Arbsafe. I can put up an example if it helps.

That's a lovely, lasting memorial Clive; good one. Jon

I recently binned a 20" Stihl chain with a pair of left teeth and a pair of right teeth so it's not a unique situation.

Beat me to it. With the stumps so close to the fence you may be better off doing the lot with a mattock and Tirfor. Not everyone's cup of tea but a short day would see that lot out and the site cleared up. Quote for a long day of hard work though.

Things seem to have improved: goods delivered less than 24 hours after ordering. Thanks NAs.

A different take on the two plants there... I treat Mile-a-Minute as the weed it is but I encourage honeysuckle; it's native and useful to pollinating insects as well as being beautiful in flower. But I'd be surprised to see it damaging a hawthorn hedge. If it does compromise a bit of hedge just do what you have - cut it back hard. It'll re-grow, no problems. By the by I find that if you can get at the roots of the Vine you can usually pull them out. Sometimes of course the thing's too well established but for the first few years it can be done.

Leycesteria! I've never previously heard an English name for it so you're the one doing the good deed spreading the word.
-
I didn't know that name for it; Leycesteria formosa.

A 90% chance it's Raynaud's then I'd say unless at that tender age you'd inflicted unnatural amounts of vibration to your young hands
-
Could it be Raynaud's, which is to do with the circulatory system rather than the nervous system as is White Finger? I suspected the latter in myself but am now convinced it's Raynaud's; always the same fingers on each hand, numbing in order as the blood flow drops.

Check your mileage allowance and how much it will cost you to raise it; there is an end of lease excess mileage charge. I've just bought outright at the end of a 4-year lease and having exceeded my allowance slightly had to pay just over £400. No complaints but if you're on an annual allowance of 14,000 miles as I was and you do 18,000 then 9p a mile excess is going to add up to a sizeable bill at the end of the lease that you may not have been ready for. Also look at GAP Insurance; simply it covers the cost of outstanding finance if the vehicle is written off when worth less than any amount you owe on it.

You can pay afterwards but the easiest thing is to set up an account, on which you can register as many vehicles as you like, and have DART take the money automatically via ANPR. When your account balance drops below £10 DART auto topup from your bank account with a minimum £10. It's just like Oyster in that respect.

gravity fed chipper on "coppicing" jobs?
nepia replied to polish pete's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I think someone on here put a TW125-type chipper on a tracked barrow bottom half: could that suit your needs? Re weights of the small chippers I think the CS100 is ~195kg; my Jo Beau M300 is 145kg and not easy to push on rough ground or through long grass. -
I sold an older Brenderup on ebay for a mate a couple of years ago. It had sat outdoors under a tarp and untouched for several years: a hose down and a light scrub with a stiff broom and it looked like it was 2 years old! I remember that it was really well thought out in terms of lashing points, catches, hinges etc. The plate had corroded, not the trailer, so I e-mailed Brenderup in Denmark with the chassis number asking them what the mgw was. 10 minutes later they'd replied with the answer, the trailer model and the dealership to whom it was sold new 14 years beforehand!

That cut was made because the wood beyond was rotten. Luckily the chain was destined for the bin anyway as it was at the end of its life and was dull after logging up dirty windblown conifer. The two small cuts made after that one were a bit slow!
-
And so I did. Good to meet you Julian and what cracking weather you conjured up. I've heard you Glaswegians claim to be as hard as nails but I didn't think you meant this! Never done one straight down the middle before...!!! Jon

I'm assuming nothing; I'm asking. Although it's apparently not in use it may still be insured. But it may not. But that's a matter for the OP, hence my discreet way of putting it I thought!
-
Go to the homepage of their website, click the Business tab, then Van Insurance!
-
Um - no; sorry. At the risk of appearing as bigoted as some are perhaps insurers have had bad experiences of the owners of tippers rather than of the vehicles themselves. Another guess there. Sorry, I didn't mean you can't put bars on a Kingcab - I've got a Thule set - I was referring to the factory-fitted chunky rails running lengthways. I should have said rails, not bars - my bad.
-
Is it not insured already? Read this before you answer! https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-insurance/uninsured-vehicles My point being that perhaps you could just add to existing insurance on the vehicle but I'll understand no reply.
-
I insure with Direct Line and you're not being nosey; fair question. A couple of possibilities come to mind as to the explanation for the hike in premium but they are my guesses only. First, the rear 'seats' are dropdown bench seats and are likely to be seen as providing less protection of their occupants in the event of vehicle collision. Second, I know from the lease company (I asked) that the roof bars that the Double cab has can't be fitted to the Kingcab because there is reinforcement to the roof of the Double, not the King. Obviously the Kingcab's roof is shorter but if you think lack of reinforcing...rolling the vehicle... you can see an opening for an insurer to think increased risk of occupant injury. Just my guesses. Jon
-
Probably a minor point but they're more expensive to insure than double cabs. I pointed out to my insurers last week that mine was a King Cab, not a Double as per their records (derived ultimately from Nissan). 'Thanks for telling us; that's an extra £127 please' despite a thousand years' NCB.
