  1. it was from brighton were i am at college and it was 6hrs there and 5 back
  2. unfortunately we only had 5hrs up there and 11hrs on a coach should have gone with work really i didn't buy anything as as i was looking to buy a gransfors axe my friend cut his finger open and it wouldn't stop bleading
  3. little rob do you mind sending me the number aswell from what i have read the cheapest 4x4s for teens to insure are daihatsu fortraks suzukis and unmoddified defenders also van variants seem to be cheaper someone also told me today nfu are cheaper if the vehicle is used for agricultural purposes
  4. buy the time you tipped all the logs out infront of the customer all the dry ones will be on top anyway so they have less to complain about

    Stihl drill BT45

    sds eneds can be put in akey less chuck but is a bodge but works fine but the is are adaptors available to go from chuck-sds and vise versa plus sds max or what ever the other type is
  6. we sell by bulk builders bag always called a bulk bag or dumpy bag never a mater cube bag although the telehandler has a weighing device and all the wood is delivered in bags so people can clearly see its a bag full also dn22 can you not extract with a tractor and then get a truck in or are tractors not allowed either
  7. the daihasus are good apparently and can tow 3.5 tonnes the leafsprung ones are easy to modify or a series landy
  8. he mihgt just be waiting until he has loads to do as depending on how he runs it it may be more ecconomical to do a whole day of deliverys or multiple deliverys at one time
  9. the bf goodritch at's and genral grabber at's are good are you staying the same size or going bigger a mate has his trooper a couple of size's larger than standard and it looks awesome
  10. i meant it for people who were looking to buy new vehicles and to make sure they check with the dealer it is registered as what they want
  11. if you really can't find any other type c's then the traditional oregon ones are big although probally not great for climbing but when i asked for the biggest ground trousers its what they bought out
  12. its not fixed at manafacturer its fixed at registration by the dealer and is what ever the dealer chooses i know someone whos dealer mucked up and registered there twin cab vw comercial as the wrong class instead of dual purpose vehicle so his tax is £436 instead of somewhere around £200 check what the individual vehicle is
  13. it was a balfor beaty sight i seem to remember possibly terminal 5 or the big tunnel job they have at the moment and seeing they had 3/4 10000 litre bowsers running 24 hrs a day it didn't take much to loose that much they recon most of it was lazy drivers not recording small delivers such as gennies lghting units and compressors but a fair quantity was probally nicked
  14. they probally do the white diesel as if there is any unaccounted for red diesel within these big companies they get serios grief from customs and excise some of the big comepanies even run the non road legal kit on white to save trouble there is something like 20,000 litres of red unaccounted for on one of the big sites a day
  15. i know someone who runs 50 sight bowsers for water and fuel and the regulations are increadibley tight so its probally someone in hse who doesn't have a clue trying to make the rules also for sight use there will be rules regarding the whole pump mechanism and filler for anyone who is intereasted they found the easiest piece of kit for small litterages kind of less than 500 litres was the double bund plastic ones with intergrated pump as they already have all the tickets with them whereas if you use an external pump its even more regulations
  16. it looks like a manafactured one rather than a farmers special does it have a name or any printing on it or stamped
  17. i have a craghoppers one and it is briliant its loose enough to give you a full range of movements but still doesnt get caught on stuff all the pockets have multiple layers of fabric over zips so nothing gets jammed or stuck in them its fully waterproof and breathable evn when rubbing up aggainst stuff the hood folds away into a pocket at the back but still has a piece of wire in it to hold it open so you can actually see with it up

    Arb vehicles

    if anyone is intereasted there is a lwb mog with 3 point linkage on vos at the moment that ould be a fairly good set up also ford intend to realese a 4x4 transit tipper by the end of the year wit initial suggestions for price being £35k also the scam/iveco trucks are available with pto so might power a chipper
  19. bindenberger do some ice towable ones but i'm guessing they will be alot of money and probally need a mog to tow them as well SSP 520 - Firewood Processor
  20. the pickeys round here have learned they use the insulated handled axes of of the railways to chop the cable
  21. they should all have the injectors fixed by now as it was a warranty issue and all owners were notified by the dvla however if it wasn't caught early enough there could still be problems a new engine costs £2000 roughly i know someone who is getting theres replaced as the oil pumps amoungst other things failed and the engine is now scrap but it is such a superb vehicle otherwise he feels its worth it its the most comfy car i have been in far beyond landcruiser colarados shoguns l200's and anything landy plus they are so much bigger internally than the equivalent landys
  22. do you not think something like a kubota rtv would be a better machine to tow with i had a go in one the other day and they are amazing vehicles advantages over a quad would be its heavier full rollcage diesel so can run on cherry difflock the hydraulic pump on them is a fair size and with the addition of an oil cooler could run the crane or a logsplitter they have a far more substantial towbar than any quad i have seen and a tipping body to put rings in the back of or possibly the jcb groundhog/john deere gator/kawaski mule/polaris ranger and so on but i don't know the specs of thoose
  23. dent

    on ebay,,

    there is a guy up the road from me who deals in second hand aircraft parts and he bought 32 of these and has 2 shells on his front lawn on display
  24. will it stack the bags 2 high if so that looks an amazing little vehicle
  25. i was told not to leave any of the mixed cans in the sun or vehicles as the petrol evaporates and therefore the strength of the mix changes
