Glass was only half of it they claimed for every scratch and ding on multiple cars even ones not on the forecourt at the time!

Rubber duck with a mounted flail doing ditches, hit French drain usually no problem, but right next to a BMW dealership an interesting claim

Buy bosch brushless and batteries last wayyyyyyy longer than others

Rear mounted crane means no shared load so all crane weight is on rear axle, very easy to overload, be very surprised if the tare weight is low enough to give a reasonable load.

I think that this has been changed

Anyone know what the maximum permissible unladen weight of a trailer is before it requires testing / plating?
-
If you had remote control on the crane would make loading simpler
-
I think that time is also a factor I have been running my business from home for the past 18yrs I live in listed house in a conservation area in town planners came round last yr after neighbour complained couldn’t do much due to length of time operating
-
If your trailer is over 3500kg it requires plating the same as a lorry then it will need all the checks and mot required by a lorry is it really worth the hassle
-
I fitted air helpers to the rear with on board compressor can carry much more and still look right and handle well
-
True make them spend time and effort then more chance of being caught or giving up there is a lot you can do.cctv is a waste of money if not backed up or monitored,security in depth is what is required make them spend time and make noise.
-
Point taken however if you have this loader I suspect the value of the rear of your kit exceeds £100000 vehicles, saws grinders etc to have only cctv not battery backed up and a pair of gates. No remote alarms your loader picks up a tonne no concrete block behind gates ,loader locked up and disabled there was much more you could have done.Apologies if you did and don’t want to broadcast it on here

£30000 machine left near £1500 trailer makes theft easy for any lowlife wanting to take a chance

I have 130 with terra firma rear springs fitted as singles with air helpers inside along with a anti roll bar and Michelin tyres up to 1.8 tonnes no problems
-
I never had trouble being paid it was the retention that I never got kept 5% just in case they found a tree we hadn’t cleared for 12 months then said that the paperwork wasn’t signed to say the job was complete so could not pay!

Van broken into eastern green Coventry
dumper replied to Dawsons Groundcare's topic in Stolen Equipment
They really wanted what’s inside given the sign writing and all the locks on the doors were you telling them how valuable the contents of the van are/were? i wonder how much business is generated by sign writing the vans as opposed to losses from theft is sign writing really worth it? -
I run a transit a ford ranger and a defender 130 all reliable if you follow the service schedule if like some you just let it develop you will get trouble there is more to go wrong with a Landy do you really need a tipper the extra weight of the gear isa down side my Landy has air helpers in the back a must have if you want a reasonable ride I do 100 miles a night with a fully laden gritter with no problems just don’t think you are driving formula one!

Grass cutting with a front loader is not cost effective to much horsepower doing nothing decks are too small and the speed of cut is slow, 25hp loader cutting 1.5m or 40 up tractor cutting 3.6 faster
-
Use any flail you want just expect large bills for damage.the risk out weighs the benefits use a digger and bucket and heap to burn bury or take away or hand cut
-
Why are they taking cis this is a construction industry scheme are you in construction site clearance would be
