Is there any oil in it. Are the brakes dragging.

If you have any spare blocks drop some chain oil and try jizer for a couple of hrs then hose.

I bought a £1000 gas barbeque at an auction about 5 years ago for £40. It has a rotary thingy which has done several chickens at a time, pigs, and buffalo if you can find one. Problem is it turns out its cheap chinese crap and we have used it to death and can only get spares from America. I am thinking of spending £500 this time but does anyone know of a reasonable quality one that we can get spares in the uk for it in future. It must have an animal spinner

I have come across coils that struggle when hot. Not sure if there is less magnatism when hot, the coil has less insulation when hot or if the air gap between rotor and stator changes with heat expansion. Or it could be a rich mixture which floods saw when hot but helps when cold.

Did you throw out the old fuel and fill with fresh mix.

the corn trailers I have owned the 6 tonne was 6 cu metres and the 3 tonne 3 cu metres. So I guess you processed 10 cu metres in a day. Two of us process 20" stuff with a vertical splitter in 6 hrs we get 8 cu metres done and stop for dinner.Our 20" stuff is alot easier than your 3ft stuff. Big rings are hard work.

Inside the ram I am assuming the 1x37 has one ram. If the seal leaks in side the ram you cant see the fluid run back. On the other hand it could be something completely different. Hopefully someone who has owned one will help. Barnsley bob and Steve Bullman had one. Do you have a workshop manual.
-
blocked filter ? alot of machines clean the hyd oil on the return. You may have changed it after your flood but may find its blocked again after a few hrs use. The other thing maybe the seals on that side of the ram are shot and oil is passing to the return.

I like the top it could get us away from the over priced over weight thirsty disco commercial we are looking at buying new. We carry alot of 20 litre oil cans and roll along tool boxes. The biggest problem with double cabs we found is security and with a normal plastic lid you have to kneel on the wet dirty tailboard to lean in especially since the body is so high. This box addresses most of these problems. I would be inclined to ask for a trap door so you can reach down into the buck and retrieve small items after the first emergency stop. Will it be painted or will the alloy just be left to weather ?

Depends on timber stay away from oak. If we have a reasonable summer and you get it under cover in september I would think you will be fine. Log or billet it all now sooner the better.

£1.50 a bag sounds ok to me. Not had to season it for 12 months+ or smash it out of the ground. We sell kindling for £1.60 a bag trade and there is 60p of material before you even take out the labour. £6 for a bag of logs looks good till you work out its cost you £4 to get it to their door.

Maybe something to do with the 5% bio in fuel now.

Try A E Prentice nr Oxford

When your bfg get on a bit check them inside if you get a puncture as they start breaking up inside.

I dont blame you for staying new. I have never had a new Toyota which may be an option for us. I did try 6 different Nissan dealers in 2 years and all hopeless. Hopefully you will have better luck with Toyota

I still have a lot of confidence in the Toyota product but less so in some of the dealers. They have a 1990 ford dealership feel about them. I think the dealerships change brand so often they keep their old bad habits. If I was buying a new vehicle I would get it serviced at a main dealer and expect a bumper to bumper warranty for 3 years. I tried running one new navarra in 2002 but went back to several old trucks for me it has been alot less stressfull. In those days it was 6000 mile services and dealer out of town the truck was permanently in the garage and we had one eye on the mileometer and one ear listening for the next noise.

I have finally got my head round H&S and its changing . I used to charge £15,000 to supply and install a diesel generator and try and do the 40 pages of BS for free. Now the generator is free and the the bull s cost £25,000 works for me -
The cheaper one is probably fine but for £10 why take the chance. I think the dixon will be harder wearing and corrode less.

I agree with peasgood. The good will of the company was with you and your brother. If you carry on you are the business. I would offer half the value of the assets. If you start a new business could you afford to pay someone a good wage to do nothing it will be hard enough paying for a climber if the recession is biting you. I feel for you after your recent loss now you have to deal with this. If you get on well with your sister in law I am sure you can talk it through and explain the situation if not start up again and offer to buy the tools.

All my tippers have the remote tyraped just inside the front chassis. You put your hand in so it does not get trapped. The remote faces backwards so the weather never gets in.
-
You mean you have found half the work is in the preparing the 6in pieces. The people that make or hire the machines forget to mention that bit when they quote 60 bags an hour.
-
Yes I was not trying to put it down. If you get pleasure tinkering with it great. You may even discover something that has been missed in the process before. As you say its not a business. In the last 3 months I have seen 3 people with families invest 25k of their redundancy on junk from china to make bricks. I give my saw dust and offcuts to them in the hope they can make it pay and support their families.

If any one gets this problem nr Andover I have a drop tester and all the other guff comes in handy for life saving gensets

I have both tt85 and tt105 The 105 is a better trailer tows nicer on those lower profile wheels easier to reverse as its the same width as truck gross weight is 3500kg so more useable payload. The load hight is lower than tt85 I can use it for collecting rings but would not bother if I only had the smaller tipper tt85 is narrower and lends itself well to delivering logs up narrow drives. Never owned a 126 but looks like you could easily overload the 3500 gross due to size of bed and its a heavy monster when empty but good value if you really need a big tipper.

Cut his balls off with a silky then explain how much more damage a chainsaw can do.
