Supply flourecent vests to be worn at all times about £3 ea. They can wear what they like underneath. They are actually quite useful especially if you have bobcats etc on site you can see people out the corner of your eye and can track their movements about site.

We have a kindlett which is now two years old. We tend only to put joinery waste through because we have a good supply and the end result is better. Also we rarely stop for knots with par timber. I have seen the posch machine working and would buy the fuelwood again. Ours may not be the best machine for round wood but a gravity fed tray would help.

it was 3 years ago

We dont need to cut and split a year in advance now because all our customers will have read this thread and know they need to order a year in advance

As of a couple of years ago all poly tunnels used for business need permission.

Your john deere puts our 2140 totally to shame. Ours had done 12,000 hrs when the clock stopped years ago and is really battered.

The fast tracks have a label no oil brakes above 20 mph above the connection on the back.

I could but I am more interested in mods and improvements he has made that could be used on ours.

Do you have any pics. Sounds like a good piece of kit.

I have this crane trailer tend to use it for picking up my own cord wood or occassionally assist tree surgeons by removing timber. Has a 5 tonne crane which lifts about 2 tonne on full stretch. The Mog belongs to a friend but I normally hire a tractor for a week. -
Scratched around the first two winters looking for customers. After that more a problem of getting enough done to cope with demand. We tend to keep our heads down in winter first wiff of awkward customer run a mile.

Proof is in the pudding if you use a chainsaw daily for 10-20 years without cutting any body parts off do you need basic training. If u go on a refresher for any trade 10% is useful 90% is fluff and padding. Do experienced middle age men need the same training as a school leaver.

Do you have to pay extra for carriage

I think you should go on a course to become a trainer. But then their probably isnt one. If you call yourself a trainer ( perhaps you are then like a god of the arb world) you then dont need to go on refresher courses. I have seen posts on here from students just out of college becoming trainers:confused1:

If I get called again I am going to go in frantically scratching my privates and explain I have been to a pop festival over the weekend and may need urgent medical attention.

you can be excused for 2 years after that it could be you

Ifor williams only make the larger trailers with proper springs as far as I know not those rubber things which go hard with age. The bulk head does not look like ifor. I would say bateson or indespension. being a sad trailer spotter.
-
Its not an ifor williams. The wheels are ok for 3.5 tonne not sure from the pic about the hubs but its all looking 3.5 tonne ish
-
It would have looked better on a longer tri axle trailer but then the fine would be bigger because he had less payload. The shorter the trailer the better you need to get the balance the centre of gravity will be a nightmare as well. Lots of straps and a couple of chain straps would not go a miss. The answer would be a proper lorry.

Sainsburys fuel discount 10p off a lt no limit

Super market fuels are ok. but we run several vehicles on very long runs and after 3 tanks of supermarket the vehicles are doing at least 50 miles less to a tank and making vastly more noise. this difference is at least 10%. The only fuel I run on is Shell which I find better. I dont need educating thank you. I know it all comes from the same refinery but its the additive pack that makes the difference. -
Done jury service 3 weeks ago they treat you like 3rd class citizens you have to make your own coffee then pay for it. You can ask to be let off. I was a few times but had to do it this time. If you do go they try to keep you for two weeks even if you dont sit on a case. If you have any previous you dont need to do it. I believe if you join the bnp that may get you off as well.

If you cant view or collect its a scam. On a more positive note I actually met an honest ebayer today

The petrol will be ok for chainsaw but I wont be putting that diesel in any of my vehicles even at 10p off. -
And how many accidents involved people that had been trained. How many accidents with people having 20 years experience. How many accidents were domestic weekend jobs, do they slit these away from work related stats. The whole certification training thing is just another cash cow for the government in alot of cases.
