  1. There’s one on e bay at moment with crane
  2. And your extras go down , no tele radio hot water bedding etc until you behave these should be earned
  3. Field tree so 6lbs of staples and tacks, 3 meters of barbed wire, and five included stones. So I make that firewood less your time = beer money.
  4. The company I work for runs 25 to 30 teams we record jobs start to finish and have access to RAMS work sheets and archives / drawings just thought you might take a look personally I use i auditor
  5. He’s not far out with price, once it’s down it might be more but could be just firewood.
  6. Three rows barbed temporary fence plus some gates
  7. I have 1200m post and wire job needs doing ASAP any body interested or know of contractor with post knocker.
  8. The client gives me about a hundred and twenty thousand pounds of work a year, a new supervisor has started and is trying to make an impression, I wanted to check my facts and figures before I started to make waves, I thought my rate was very reasonable and the replies to this thread have confirmed my thoughts I now have ammunition to reason my case
  9. Run it on narrow tyres the put wide duals on when needed
  10. I think 99 was direct drive. they seem to depreciate to about £7000 then stick there. The avant will outclass the dingo every which way. The dingo or kanga loaders are toys in comparison. I think the metal bodied avants are the most usable,smaller and more nimble than the newer plastic with very much the same performance if you could get it for a bit less you should have a good machine you can get a new one made in Latvia for £12000 ish on eBay
  11. How long have you worked for the council if you stay do you get a pension LA schemes are usually very generous,white finger is industrial disease so I would look to take some professional advice before going much further
  12. More information and pictures and maybe trial pit
  13. They are never as strict with shotguns just like the box out of sight
  14. You can get cages for the resin anchor 16mm hole the fob of anchor place cage in hole fill with resin place cap and press 10mm stud in cap keeps stud in position
  15. Are we talking shotgun or rifle?
  16. My firearms officer wouldn’t pass mine until it was fixed to brick or concrete block and screwed to the floor
  17. Nice tractors pivot or axle steer check pto clutch can be expensive
  18. Your method of fixing will depend on the load on the bolts and type of load, shear pull or compression. Thermalise have little strength socare should be taken
  19. The panel is a 400kg sliding gate to lift into position is usually by a hiab, I would allow for four men minimum given the height, They are assembled in parts bottom track then the top welded on in panels, This one was hit by a car and had bent the track, its in a school so we had to take it to a safe area before we could cut or grind, these jobs are mostly done during school holidays , this one couldn’t wait.
  20. Maybe the pedal balance unit is worn £250 I think one of the few bit you need to get from avant, if you take the front panel of mud can build up around the pedals so stopping them returning to zero. There is also two grease nipples that might need a couple of pump. You don’t say how old the machine is I’ve had wheel motors break down on the old machines and destroy all the seals usually shown by the arm and bucket rams slowly going down under load with the machine turned of and the machine slowly moving down hill when parked
  21. This is the same machine with the skip fitted, what rate do you think same ,more or less
  22. No hire only operated with cost of operator on top my plan is to keep the machine to supplement my income in retirement
  23. I take that on board and may need to revisit my figures
