Had it two years and no issues. Easy enough to change the blade. Worth buying a second one so you aren't stuck if having it sharpened.

I have a balfour saw bench. Electric version. It's pretty good but doesn't have the same 'umpth' you get from a PTO version. Great for firewood but I also use it for cutting up sleepers for landscaping/benches etc. Can get a nice square end cut that it hard to get exact using a chainsaw. I paid about £1200 new.

What Childhood Xmas Gifts did your Parents or Grandparents received.
richy_B replied to Darrin Turnbull's topic in The Lounge
Grandparent got an oranges for Xmas as well. Similar DOB as you mention. Sharing a bedroom between 6 kids. Shows how good we all have it now. -
My experience with small claims etc is a legal professional will look at what is 'reasonable'. So as mentioned if it's a commercial transaction then 30-90 days would be considered reasonable. In a domestic setting it could be considered reasonable to ask for payment on completion. If you have a administrative cost of £25/1 hours works then you can pass that on as it's a reasonable expense. If you include items like 10% interest per day/week it would not be enforceable despite, signatures etc. The only way of doing this would be creating a credit account for a customer and billing services to that. Obviously very complicated for smaller companies.

'Offer' to drop the chip back to them if you don't get paid. Preferably all over their drive....

Story of my life too! As soon as I find a solution it involves doing two more tasks.... In fairness it isn't too complicated. I cut up some long jump leads. Got some connectors for the battery then put together the Anderson plugs. Probably about £50 in parts. Handy once you have it though. I change my ifor tipper so it runs off this instead of a battery. Plugs you can have a trailer mounted winch, small water/fluid pump, etc. It also works as a charging point.

Fill the cans whilst still in the back. Away from prying eyes.
-
Send a formal letter. Give 7 days to make full payment. Then small claims court.
-
I think you'll probably need a 175 amp anderson plug running straight from the battery (with an isolator on route). I have one on my truck and it's useful for the ifor tipper amd winch.

Sounds right to me. I guess volume will vary depending on log length. 35cm length will equate to less in a bag than 20cm lengths.
-
Do you have a website?

You'll find it really hard to make a trailer cheaper than picking up a decent second hand.
-
The weight is the same but processing time it will be quite a bit different and this is going to be the largest cost. Obviously dependent on your set up but a 3 metre length is going to yield more cut logs per hour than 2.5 metre lengths. Ultinately the longer the length (straight helps!) The more effixient you will be. Less loading time and more cutting/splitting. All you can do now is not make the same mistake again. Be specific. Ask for 3 metre lengths. Reject anything less than 2.7m.

I'm just going by this https://www.gov.uk/roadside-vehicle-checks-for-commercial-drivers/fixed-penalties Either way it's not good.
-
I agree. More than 30% (450kg in a transit) is a courts summons. No on the spot fine. Plus you are likely to be moving into the territory of dangerous driving etc which will add the points to the mix. Maybe as a one off but i can't understand people who do this day in, day out.

Connecting a choker chain to a tirfor cable hook?
richy_B replied to SteveA's topic in Large equipment
I've never seen this but if you find something ease post it up here. I tend to use a round sling on the hook. -
What a loon. What crazy risk to take.
-
On pickup based tipper conversion I think it makes sense to put a tool box on the cabin roof.
-
Perhaps it's where you keep your baguettes!
-
You might find with working in the sea the risk assessment is going to take longer than the job!
-
There are in line heaters for machines running on biodiesel (to account for reduced viscosity in the cold). From what I've seen it's a very simple 12v heating sleeve. What kind of temperatures are we talking about? Ifs only a few C's below zero I'd be quite concerned.
-
Sounds interesting. I bet visually (and perhaps metaphorically) we just spend our lives going in small circles!
-
I wonder if someone like the Royal Yachting Assocation (RYA) might have something you could borrow some text from. I did a course to do with small boats a few years back and there was a RA element to it covering submerged items, jelly fish, what maritime warning signs meant, etc.
-
The finance issue might complicate it slightly bit when I've had to reject items I have always followed a set protocol and stuck to my resolve. Return the item to them. Directly hand a letter for ally rejecting the machine. No 'repair this or I want my money back'. Simply I am rejecting this item and the legal reasons why. In your case item not fit for purpose/intend. List the opportunities you have return the item for repair. Give a reasonable time frame for your refund (14 days) and provide details for a BACS payment. They might still refuse. If so launch legal proceedings. Under £10k you can do small claims. Larger them instruct a solicitor.

Perhaps just reference your PPE a lot. Drysuit instead of waders to avoid filling up and drowning. Safety line attached to you life jacket, held by competant person on the bank and tether to fixed point, etc, etc.
