    I think we have been in the directory for 4 years and every year it pays for its self many times over. The first year got us a customer who spends at least £5000 a year and has been back every year. Get it done especially at that price.

    I had a international 684 it had a hole between the block and liner the size of your little finger. I filled it up with gasket sealant and it run the processor for the last 5 years. The tractor was rank and badly looked after by us but it never missed a beat.

    Hilux they have the least equipment, the lowest power, tow the least and cost the most. But I have found they go to the moon and back 10 times with a trailer and never miss a beat. Nothing against the rest just what I have found.

    We had a new shape vito on 54 plate when it was 6 years old there was a rust hole in the rear door where the wiper was the size of your fist. I worked out it would not get through another mot without alot of welding underneath and sold it.

    This week my 60 plate discovery had a new diff. It was back one day before the turbo packed up. Yesterday our BMW 320d eat the swirl flaps and shagged the engine. Listening to the stories I think its best to avoid anything made in Europe.

    This almost looks like a bit of common sense creeping in ie 62 miles radius. At some point the civil servants will work out alot of people cant be arsed to work because they just make it so difficult for no reason. If I really wanted to drive 16 hrs a day I would just get two trucks with two tachos does the tacho thing really improve safety or is it just to keep the hauliers happy

    I collect off cuts for the kindlet so they are for me I have been weighing up a new trailer the 0.8 bags are a bit tight in my 6ft6 wide trailer but not keen on a 7 1/2 ft wide. can you slide the bags in past the mesh without ripping.
  9. gensetsteve
    When you put your bags on how do you secure them so they dont look like they are going to spill out the side. I put 8 kiln dried bags on my 16ft ifor and I think there was getting on for 2.5 tonnes of wood.

    I cant remember where I saw it but there was a sharpening band welding setting serious machine for sale looked a complete steal if you needed one. It was either on here or one of the auction sites. It was about a month ago. I was tempted to buy it and I have no use for it and would not know how to work it.

    ifor do a 12ft tipper with sides and mesh that you could section as well. I know you like to deliver lots in one go.

    If there were no MDs or fast food they would be throwing Ginsters or tesco hot chicken bags about. I think they wait till they get to a nice village just to show their disrespect. I think its called jealousy

    Good !

    I think he means if your gross train weight goes over 3.5 tonne you need a tacho

    I have never seen figures to convince me logs can compete with gas. I always think of logs as bit of a luxury item. Most people burn them on high days and holidays.

    The crew cab transit tipper is vosas vehicle of choice. They stop everyone almost guaranteed to be overweight and the chassis crack just behind the cab.

    I have used the wrap but after a few months it breaks up in the sun and blows round the yard.

    ok did the big house in Windsor with the long drive when I was an Apprentice. Since running my business did most of the F1 team generators in the front of the trailers. Frank Williams, Mcclaren, Eddy Jordan,Tyrell. Mansions ( they no longer own ) Frank Williams, Phil Collins
  20. gensetsteve
    Not tree work but generators. If I name them I will look a right big head

    You can buy a car for about £6000 and there is alot more work in building a car than a crude trailer.

    Beat me by a minute

    Do a search online in your area for a company that makes curtain sides for trucks and sheets for the top. They have to pay to skip the old ones. Also I buy the fabric new and its not expensive considering the quality 10x4 £50-£80

    The way h&s is going you wont be able to get the ladders without using scaffolding.

    LM166 with sides and mesh £3400.00 + vat nearly the same price as a small car. There is very little technology they have not changed in 25 years and no engine ?
