My ifor played silly bug@#rs too, it did cure itself, try rapidly flicking the ram up followed by the double click down , repeat for a couple of minutes.

There are so many different body combinations, a 130 double cab will carry its weight over the rear axle, yet a single cab would help carry that weight forward to the front axle. If you study photos of both 110 & 130 tippers you will notice the 110 has a lot of its body overhang behind the rear axle.

I used N & j , genuine guys who want to help, all done over the phone & mail order, I would recommend to anyone.

I've had 2 rangers, just put a blob of grease on the steering bump stops, it often needs doing between service intervals . That should cure it.

I've a 4000lb tow ball winch from David Bowers goodwinch. It is useful but very difficult to pay in neatly on the drum as it swivels on the towball. I would be careful with a winch any bigger , would the towball take it?

self propelled chipper (Shreks wee chipper)

Good idea mate, its all good if it makes the job easier -
Charnwood island 111b, its a very efficient stove but running 10 rads off the stove you burn tons of wood
-
I don't bother with trickle charging, just plug the mains charger in overnight once a week. My battery is located under the trailer floor, so I have added some insulated 12v wire from the battery terminals, coming forward to charge from, saves having to tip up to get to battery terminals.

Our Eco fan wouldn't run property on our charnwood boiler stove, the water through the stove has a cooling effect on the stove top. The answer is an ecofan designed for a gas stove, it just kicks in at a lower temperature.

I run a ranger towing a tracked chipper, been very reliable. I had a 2002 model from new, for 6 years. I now have an 08 model from new. I have never bought more than service parts & tyres for both trucks.

I nearly bought a station wagon as a impulse buy, by uneconomic I meant that I would be paying 235 a year more in road tax for a near identical vehicle with commercial road tax status.
-
Thanks for your help lads, as usual its not that straight forward. It has brought to my attention that many of these bargain station wagon defenders are uneconomic. I just about managed to resist an impulsive buy on eBay that would keep the chancellor happy. Thanks lads.

I'm considering buying another landy , would I be right in saying if its a pick up, double cab or van then its commercial road tax and if its a station wagon then your robbed off customs & excise? I also wonder if you fit seats & Windows in a van then does the road tax bracket change ?
-
Sorry to hear that , your out trying to earn a living, to pay some tax, to keep some lazy scrotum in benefits . He then robs your tools. Chop their hands off , medieval justice. I'd love to catch them for you.

I had exactly the same stipulations applied to my Nfu policy. I have been with them 10 years now. I renewed the policy with them as same as you I told them unworkable so they cancelled the endorsements.

I recently had a similar problem , cured now . My saw would run ok but would not pick up, had to tickle throttle to get the reps up. I went through the lot stripped the exhaust and scraped the coke out. New spark plug and fuel pick up. Ran engine whilst spraying carb cleaner, followed by removing diaphragms from carb & spraying more carb cleaner. None of the above worked so new inlet manifold ( that's the rubber bit between carb & engine block . Problem cured.

Can you get spares?

I don't know Max, my trailer is 10ft. I'm sure it will be a close thing, I find the Jo beau just that bit too heavy to have hanging off the back. If you have the materials and the time then probably worth a bit of experimentation, spend a fortune ; you could be disappointed .
-
I too have a dirty great tarked machine but if I had to choose one I would keep the Jo beau.
-
Max, the jb weighs a quarter ton , however with my stump grinder (120kg) on the platform the trailer has very good road manners . It does sometimes save a second trip back to the job .
-
Yep on my second ranger, good trucks , tow 3 ton 1/2 the price of a landrover. I am a land rover fan I've had 3 but I'm running a business and need a vehicle that's reliable, economic, starts 1st time , no drafts , the heater & the air con work. I will get another landy at some time but not as my main vehicle.
-
I've a petrol engine 6 ton small commercial/ large domestic splitter, It was ex hire fleet from Ben Burgess of Norwich. They regularly update their gear and sell on their used gear to represent excellent value . It could be worth checking their web site.

Heres a picture of our trailer platform. This was the only time the jo beau has been on the platform, too much weight over rear of trailer, which made the trailer wag its tail over 50mph. The platform is fine for the muck truck or stumpgrinder, prefered method to carry jo beau in back of pick up.
