  1. I thought that this was still area was still under the developers control? Still if it is council have you spoken to Vinnie the TO or the HTC lot? This is nothing in comparisons to the council grass munchers crown lifting efforts else where around the borough.... As others have already ready stated these will be FUBAR in the near future thanks to chimps with strimmers. This is what happens when you stop them advertising tea bags......

  2. Typical! There is no identifiable markings on my one! I got it via the now defunct A&F warehouse in Sussex. Penny AB is now (or was last time I had dealings) at Richmond Groundcare. Richmonds Contact us. She is your best bet there. At least you have a photo now to show what you are after. One of the suppliers on here must be able to sort something out??

     

    I recall it was expensive (about the £50.00 mark??) for what it is but I did not have the required bits or time to make my own.

  3. I think I know exactly what your after! It is the same as the Merrist Wood ones....back in the day when I was a young man.:blushing:

     

    I'll get picture tomorrow and slap it on here.... this one is not for sale!! But I'll have a look and see if it has any manufacturer / supplier details. I have mounted it on a block of wood that the bench vice grips so I can quickly swap between it or guide bar.

  4. Hi Jon I have to confess that I am not that familiar with quarry belts in great detail and would be concerned that whilst they may work for lighter stuff a 8 wheeler grab (prefered weapon on this job) would be too heavy for it given the saturated state of the ground. I could be wide of the mark on this though and would like someone to correct me if I am wrong.

     

    Any quarrying / farming types browsing the forum with loadsa cheap used wide belts to get rid of?!! Don't ask dont get!

  5. Cheers chaps for the input. £140 per mat over 180m...:w00t: might have to start a show us your chinook / heli lift thread instead at the rate this lot is going to cost!! Better not call the thread it show us your chopper!:vroam::lol: or I 'll be in bother with the mods!! Just hope by the time I got this sorted its a drought again and the ground is like concrete!!

  6. I am looking for some form of robust ground protection that will handle the upto the weight of a loaded 8 wheeler grab lorry (ideally!) that needs to cross part of a cricket pitch / grounds with out leaving a mess!!

     

    Has anyone had experience of the plastic ground mats? The distance is up to 180m from road side so I don't think I could get hold of enough old conveyor belts as used by another arbtalker!

    The plastic version looked tempting over the metal mats mainly due to weight and ease of installation without heavy equipment. Also I hope that plastic is less desirable to our "recycling" friends:001_tt2:

     

    Has anyone had experience of the plastic matting -good or bad? Also can anyone recommend a supplier? I am toying with idea of buying rather than hiring in as it may prove useful for future awkward jobs - if the price is right.

     

    Thanks for any feedback.

  7. anyone know how to sort airbag warning light staying on?mot soon!cheers

     

    What model of hilux is it? I have a Mk6 with the same problem. Turn out to be the clock spring /spiral cable in the steering column. Apparentley it is known fault on this model - assuming it is the same model. Have you done 60K+ miles?

     

    Last time I checked it was £360 +vat:w00t: for the part at dealers ($14 on alibaba from china!!:confused1:) I believe it is a couple of hours to fit. Auto electrician disconnected it so nothing unexpected will happen. The light stays on but as I have no intention of using the airbag (save your safety lecture peeps) it doesn't bother me. I 've driven around for years in green oval products without airbags.... or decent brakes! :scared1:

     

    Most importantly it past the MOT at the council test centre. Sweet:thumbup:

  8. I have a Landforce chip 200: one of the belts broke and beat the fuse box to pieces. I dont have a diagram for the mechanic to use to fix it:

    Might anyone please have access to a manual or a photo of the fuse box that we could use please as I am up the creek without a paddle otherwise!

    Any help that anyone can give would be really, really appreciated.

    Thanks.

     

    It may be worth contacting Surrey Power Machinery in Claygate who I understand have recently bought Landforce.(Sorry if this is not correct but a salesman told me :001_rolleyes:) I don't have their number to hand but you can probably get via Richmond Groundcare 01428 658487 who are a sister company.

     

    Good luck!

  9. Having got word of a recent spate of catalytic converter thefts in my patch (Redhill Surrey), I spotted this excellant vehicle accessory whilst trying to find a suitable way to protect my hilux.... love the bridge bit....:lol:

    Enjoy!

  10. They haven’t enforced it have they? If they have reported it the way it happened, it sounds like someone has been bluffed.

     

    The enforcement you cite with the invoice sum becoming a land charge is to the best of my knowledge only possible if the works were done under the miscellaneous provisions act. Misc prov requires the tree to be imminently dangerous and couldn’t be used for “intrusion”.

     

    The laws on trespass are common law and are civil. The LA has no powers to act on that issue and normally run a mile.

     

    The only other option for enforcement is under the HH laws and a single Beech tree isn’t a candidate for the HH laws.
