What are people's thoughts on the load handler?
daveindales replied to Coletti's topic in General chat
A good piece of kit. Like someone else said, the plastic brackets are a bit weak. Would buy another, but a heavier duty one would be better. A bit too much plastic to break. -
If it's bacterial canker you should be able to notice a treacle-like ooze coming from infected areas. Very common disease. If it's on the main stem there's not much you can do really. If it's on infected branches, suppose you could prune them out. Personally, I'd probably leave it alone. If it gets worse, think about tree replacement. If not, just live with it.

I'm in the same position as you. I've a very reliable L200, so we took a test drive in the Mitsubishi ASX (4x4). Both very impressed.

A book about Nazi hunter Simon weisenthal.

Try Greentech, York. Mesh guards are nothing but a pain in the rear end. Thorns/branches etc get caught up in the mesh when your putting the guards on. Pain in the neck to fix to post (staple). I have used both many times (clients provided them), but would never, repeat never buy mesh guards myself. I'd go for Tubex (or Tubex-type) guards every time.

Gardenkit: That sounds right. Cheers

Funny, but Iv'e just read that link Steve. This was the 'bit more research' that I mention in previous post.

newer one is supposed to be better on diesel. Weather is wet at moment. On the VAT thing I've been doing a bit more research, and I don't think I would have to charge VAT if I sold it, only on any profit I made from the sale (hardly likely)

Well, its the same as my old one, but 2008, with 33000 on the clock. Mines 2004, with about 80000. As you know, not too bothered about anything too fancy, as I only end up scratching them. How's yours going?

I'm setting off early tomorrow, so anymore opinions???

I'm a bit confused, as I bought an L200 (no VAT on it), before I was VAT registered. If I sell that, according to HMRC I don't have to pay VAT on that. Would ring them again, but they close at 6.

I'm VAT registered and am interested in buying a commercial vehicle, which is being sold with no VAT (L200). My question is: when I eventually sell it, do I charge VAT on it?

According to BBC news, scientists have found gold particles in eucalyptus trees that are located over gold deposits in Australia. Thinking of moving over there. The plan: Chip trees, place chips in kiln, burn chips and just watch the gold run out of bottom. money really does grow on trees.

Well, mine's going like a dream. Had it about 6 or 7 years, and only had to replace a couple of sets of heater plugs. I'll be buying another.

What famous landmark do you live closest too
daveindales replied to chrisgilltreesurgery's topic in The Lounge
Right on the Pennine way, about quarter of a mile from where they make the 'famous' Wensleydale cheese, and about a mile away from Hardraw Scarr, Englands highest unbroken waterfall. Yorkshire born and bred -
Iv'e spoken with Graham in the past and have also used orange plant (York branch) I got a very good service and have no complaints. Will be taking mine to Orange plant if I get any problems. Credit where it's due and all that.

I'm left handed and always start the saw with my left hand doing the pulling. Doubt if I could start it with my right.

Unfortunately, all your bracken won't be gone, but you might kill the vast majority. Make sure you go over the same area for the next few years. You should find that it gets less and less each year, until it's finally all gone. otherwise, the bracken will gradually come back. least, that's the experience I've had with the stuff over the last 15 years or so.
-
My fault. Thought it was a new post.
-
A couple of points here. All unused asulux must be returned to supplier. So you should be returning it, not stocking up. Ramsey7: In no way does glyphosate give better results on bracken than asulux. The reason that there was such uproar when asulux, was banned was because there was nothing better. Can't understand why you say glyphosate is better for the environment than asulux

I have an old willans t22 full body harness that I still use on occasions. Being absolutely brilliant. So, I bought a new willans t22 (not full body) and I hate it. It just wants to fall off me all the time. Tempted to just buy another full body willans.

pasta and mushy peas. Been using the peas up all week. Had them for dinner as well. Going down for a frame of snooker shortly. Pity, the lads in the snooker room.

Have to renew all NPTC units every 5 years
daveindales replied to lloyd g's topic in Training & education
A union. The thought appalls me. Paying a subscription to union bosses who are on a good earner, with nothing better to do than cause trouble and strife. Not for me. -

daveindales replied to lloyd g's topic in Training & education
Saturation is mainly caused be colleges churning out students, some good, some ok and some rubbish. It was my experience at college in the early 90's that even the rubbish students got their tickets, as it reflected badly on the college's if not a lot of people passed. I'm talking about more than one college here. -

One day the powers that be will decide that your current CS units need to be replaced, like the 'old blue book'. Perhaps, because there was little or no instruction in how to blow your whistle correctly, or because no mention is made of the need to empty your bowels before you erect the tree. More common sense and less red tape is what's needed.
