    give the guy an invoice for the missing stock. if he denies it show him the evidence, if he won't pay up or work off the debt then beat him with a stick

    300tdi airlocks and overheats very easily when there's a coolant leak, i put a new head on the disco after it airlocked on the motorway, there was found to be a small coolant leak behind the timing belt

    hahaha...click:thumbup:

    i'd get an ifor in the LM range with the 6/8ft ramps that slide in under the bed. you can put the ramps onto the side of the trailer and roll the logs or winch them on, a crane is a good idea but you may struggle to get a new trailer with one fitted in your budget. don't worry about overheating unless your cooling system is faulty, my temp gauge crept up on gentle slopes towing until i got a new rad, now it is supercool.

    i offered to remove goods to the value of the debt once and surprise surprise the money turned up:thumbup: i also suggested opening the sunroof of a posh mercedes to fill it with woodchip, that worked very well and i was paid the amount owing immediately. edit.. pity really as that would have been fun

    i assume you have been in person to the registered address of the company and made it known that you will be leaving with your money. the personal touch can work

    obviously they were 'stunt loading' pics, i filled the truck with polystyrene and removed the springs with a few bits of chip/logs ontop:thumbup:

    i paid a lad £40 for splitting ash with an axe once, approx 2hrs and he split 4cube. what a beast. couldn't manage a third hour tho:thumbup:

    in arb work everything possible is done to clear the site fast and get everything back to the yard to eventually be processed. on the farm we fell in winter, extract, ring up and stack on a good size trailer, this stays on the trailer till we get time to split the lot into the barn all at once.

    the neighbour came round this morning needing a hand starting the tractor, ended in me pulling the 6ton john deere plus attachment up a steep gravel slope with the 110, just a bit of wheelspin and got it going. all you ranger drivers can stick that in yer pipe and smoke it..!

    not just birds in them trees, found these squizzies two weeks ago

    it was stupid money haha, i paid £300 plus 1.5days labour, then paid for a diesel engine to replace the petrol one. i haven't seen one that cheap ever, all the ebay ones are bigger and loadsa dosh, the company that made it only make wheeled loaders now so probably hard to find one
  19. armchairarborist
    yea, i'd love to use it as a base for a chipper but its so damn handy, used it on jobs for extracting 4ft rings, carries 750kg up muddy banks/fields/gardens etc, and manouveres chipper round a treat.
  20. armchairarborist
    it's always 'scotch apple' if i'm not sure
  21. armchairarborist
    sounds like you need a dumpytruck to mount a chipper onto, this one is 1030mm wide:thumbup:[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-i2TsO4C8Y]YouTube - Dumpy[/ame]

    i thought it was deans landy at first, the letters on the plate are all the same but just the numbers are different. more to the point steve............who's is the handbag?
  25. armchairarborist
    if i'm pulling a 3.5t trailer i really wouldn't want the back of the truck to be empty, been dragged backwards down a hill before and it wasn't fun. where possible the tow vehicle should be loaded
