    I agree there are a lot of people in this industry, some will stick at it, some wont. But can i say this and not start a debate/ argument please? There has to be new people to come into the industry for it to continue, what happens when you 40 odd year olds retire etc? And most on here are 40 or over... there is a big void. People who say they will still b climbing at 70 need their heads turning another 1/4 turn to make sure its screwed on. I certainly want to be retired long before then Some new lads need a break and an opportunity, not older tree surgeons getting annoyed that someone new is in the area...

    Totally agree, love old style mechanical, not electrics and technology

    Its a pain when trucks play up! Likewise i have an ldv and its one hell of a truck, refuse to sell it! I also have a crew cab iveco. Was looking into changing the iveco but 5k doesnt get you when you look at trucks, need to spend 7-9k so thought bugger that! Better the devil you know! Hope you do get sorted and smooth running soon P.s reason i didnt get a transit was due to injector pumps and dual mass flywheels.

    Was it your first site clearance? You should know what they want which suggests it was your first? Some sites will differ but most sites want same docs each and every job you do.
  14. swinny
    Fake sorry
  15. swinny
    Yup same here. Finished long ago with imo crappy aftermarket. If it wants fixing fix it with something new! And oem!

    Wish there was a bit more of a price difference. But i do see the advantage of weight etc.... is 1.1 kg giving to make that much of a difference? Was looking at the battery husky top handle but this also looks good
  17. swinny
    Ha! Oops... didnt notice that. How did we get in here? Was supposed to be general chat!

    That only applies to o licence... checked on time scale or mileage... Ag vehicle has to be road worth yes. But checks are left o owner and not specified like above.
  19. swinny
    Same for running a tractor also...?
  20. swinny
    But to be on the road or road side work it has to be white.
