  1. sam your message box is full
  2. my 130 with driver, full tank of fuel, as a flat bed no tipping gear carries 1.195 tonnes weighed last month fully loaded with wood chip 1.2m sides 4.9 tonnes i was working on site with a weigh bridge and did not leave site!
  3. probably not transit is light commercial not dual use
  4. i think the problem is in the words hire or reward anybody know the legal definition of either ?
  5. Just read Response to public consultation on implementing EC regulation 1071/2009 page 47 I understand this says that the small trailer exemption stays as long as the trailer is not for hire or reward ie own business use but an o licence is required if you transport goods for others, is this definition for the trailer exemption what we have now?
  6. disco and range rover towing a trailer with mam of 3500kgs have always needed a tacho unless for private personal use
  7. i thought that anything 3500kg and over required a tacho and operators licence
  8. Pm me have good tip for all arb waste close to Benfleet
  9. Found out to my cost cvi are not worth the paper there written on.They need to be backed up with written instructions from the client. A large national construction company issued cvi's to us, the quantity surveyors refused to pay as we had not agreed rates or recived an order from the surveyor, A VERY costly experiance. I domestic work they might be better, I would make them detailed
  10. How about making the chipper hydraulic?, then powering from the towing vehicle, To make it work the chipper would have to be small. the power could come from pto or diesel power pack this would alow positioning of the chipper anywhere on the trailer.
  11. I will try to upload some next week
  12. Then all you have to do is make the body. there is plenty of space between the chassis and the support rails to make saw or tool boxes, i have fitted mine with a load handler instead of tipping gear to reduce weight.
  13. the weakest part of a 110 chasis is behind the cab this is the area that the plates go over from memory the plates weld either side of the chassis and are thicker than the original steel
  14. They already have the weight capacity so no need to uprate std 110 have mam of 3050kgs and would over load very easily,a 130 has better weight distibution on the axles.
  15. I have a stretched 110 make it is easiest to stretch 3.5 tonne spec vehicles but not difficult to up rate a 3050 tonne the plates to stretch the chassis are avaialble on the internet.All it needs is time and attention to detail to ensure the two halves line up. then replace the prop shaft fuel and brake lines the wiring loom was spliced. Unless you get underneath it is not possible to tell that it has been stretched my insurance was cheaper as it has less seats. Mine was inspected by vosa as i declared the chassis length change and by nfu engineer for insurance
  16. Do check that the insurance offered covers road use as well as loss or damage, my hired in plant insurance does not cover road use, i add tractors to my commercial vehicle policy with nfu try local ag dealers
  17. count me in, let me know place and time
  18. Try forest tractors at Blackmoor near Chelmsford part of the shb landrover hire group I have also hired from grassform plant hire at ingatestone this wse a small machine
  19. Have not managed to fit front winch to transit.
  20. does it smell if so giant hogweed
  21. I bought Bandit 90xp the chipper is bomb proof and the wheels were the same size as landrover so saving a spare wheel
  22. check your ppe carefully and your quad i you will not be allowed to take the test if they are faulty or not up to standard, take time to calibrate and make sure that your calculations are correct,count to ten before answering questions, the examiners are not out to fail you think before answering
  23. Does anybody actually know someone who has been prosecuted and gone to prison for the crime
  24. we put clean material through the chipper the shredder takes roots, dirty timber, pallets, green waste,pushed up brush, floor boards and other demolition waste
  25. We run avant 520 very good tool moving logs cord wood pushing up brush loading chipper,upped hydraulic pressure lifts 850kgs little unstable on slopes, so long as you realise its not a 3cx jcb
