Or did he panic and not think to hit the emergency stop. deflecting blame away from operator by creating a H&S problem.

There has never been a better time to spread your assets around. Some in property, machinery, bank, under the bed, premium bonds. I would give cord wood a miss
-
I would imagine it has torsion bars. If they are not broken I leave them alone. I once adjusted a soft torsion bar up to stop it bottoming out. It worked great for a few weeks then snapped. When you adjust the bar has to twist further.
-
Tipped loads often come in 1cu metre or 2 cu metre so those sizes would be good. I would overlap the boards on the side like a around the top of the animal sheds so the wind blows through but stops the rain.

Its a way of hiding the fact its all soaking wet green softwood. Thats the third bag of that I have seen this week being held up with rude comments.
-
I spoke to an iveco dealer this week and he confirmed that most ivecos inc the 3500kg gross ones tow 3500kg behind. He did point out most tippers and flat beds were on twin wheels and this would be the way to go for towing.

If you are in a block of flats are your neigbours growing it on a window seal.

Agreed most vehicles are worth 56% of there purchase price after 3 years. Not eight. You can buy a low spec hilux d cab for £16k + vat brand new.

I have had this a few times in the last ten years. The solution is always a new carb I have tried alot of things to save money and just waste my time instead. I have a few ideas why it happens probably all wrong. An expert petrol engine teccy should be along soon.

I never went and never new it was on and when I did still had no idea who the auctioneer was. The auctioneers job is to get the best price he can for the vendor. I have done the auction circuit for years. There are auctions and auctions. Some are little more than events with price tags if it does not sell they will cart it off somewhere else. But then there are proper auctions when you spend far to much money and need too many lorries but those days are well worth while

Thats a goer as well

Anyone need kindling supplied and delivered along the M1
gensetsteve replied to gensetsteve's topic in Firewood forum
I will work out a route plan think I may need several trips already . Hopefully we can help your kindling sales. You need good product reasonably priced and it helps if your customers are too busy and rich. PM will be sent. -
I found specs for a 3500kg gross canter which can go 7000kg gross train but I think the small iveco does 2800kg towing.
-
I will have to do more research. I already have the ideal trailer and have seen some well made merc 814 for a couple of grand. 5k would buy something to go into London with. The 3.5 tonne stuff is no good as it only tows 2000kg. I would imagine a twin axle helps with the towing as well.

May I introduce you to Eco Micro Arb (EMA)
gensetsteve replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in Arb-Trucks
If it comes to it I bet a forklift controller is very similar and may give more top end and slower smoother start. -
I can tell we have had the occasional fire from the scorched curled crispy tar around the top of the pot. As Dean says if the stove is fitted right you can strangle the oxygen. A good reason not to have a stove dumped in the hearth with 3ft of liner sticking up an unlined chimney.
-
There are at least 3 sizes and the smallest has only half a metre so that come out to £140 a metre for oak which can be a pain in wood burner.
-
Your better off with an old truck that does 20 mpg and never misses a beat. Rather than a new electronic 150 bhp 34mpg plastic bling machine that needs £2000 a year to screw it back together
-
Depends how big the bag is
-
In my opinion if you pay more than £35 a tonne for cord you are cutting up logs for free. Keeping the wealthy classes in cheap fuel even charging £80 a metre it will be a waste of time. But I am biased as I have given up
-
I have to collect something from Wakefield in Yorkshire so thinking could deliver 100-300 bags of kindling on the way up. Will be going past Northampton, Leicester, Nottingham, Chesterfield up the M1.
-
I use Pixresizer u can get it free online just watch u dont download any other junk with it.
-
800kg would be ok as long as it will tow 3500kg of trailer inc load. Also with better chassis if bed was overloaded it would not show. And technically would not be unsafe although not playing by the rules. The truck should also come with tacho. I am not sure if they are going to change the rules soon about towing with commercial vehicle.
-
I need to collect about 3.5-4 tonne of sawn timber at a time. I would like to get 2.5 tonne ish on my ifor williams trailer and 1.5 on the bed of a beaver tail. If I buy a 4600kg gross truck and down plate to 3500kg I should be able to stay away from an operators licence ? The whole lot should weigh under 7 tonne.

If you are looking for a Hilux have just about finished with mine.
