A little side to side play on the turbo fin is OK as long as it's minimal 1mm or so... in and out on the shaft is a no no ! Take air intake off at turbo and with engine off, get fingers in there for a feel lol 😆

Yup and for tensioning speed lines etc.... have used porta wrap off front of tractor before today when no other anchor point.... they do have there uses Proper rigging don't piss about get a stein rc3001 and above

I'm glad I keep away from these type works.... I dont work for construction firms or partake in cis scheme thank fully. I'm rural based, agri forestry conservation and safety works more than clear fell site works. It's a shame I'll forget all this if I'm ever pulled lol 😆

Yes... I did type something to reply to Eddie but cancelled it. It was more about chicken and egg scenarios.... What was land registered as before? Industrial or agri green belt....? If industrial then yes maybe have to use White? If agri then no red.... Like you say its no site or development till we've been in. First on the scene like you say.

At the end of the day timber from site is a virgin item.... its not a product or anything till processed and dried which is industrial process..... Same with chip.... it is not a product till it has either rotted down or been dried to be used as biomass.... Both items high moisture content and fit for nowt before industrial process....

Is no one of the opinion that at the end of the day we should be classified by the government and allowed to run on red diesel? At the end of the day, trees are part of the landscape in towns, cities and the country side. They all need maintenance to be kept in safe condition. Forests need thinning and felling for production of timber etc. We are a necessity of an industry in my opinion. Trees are a big part of our life and to exist and we need to be here to maintain them. Surely we should be addressed by the government etc.... It's same bollox if you want to put up a building at your yard.... what are you classified as? Why doesn't the un appointed Arb Association have a look into this classification? Or too busy buggeringnus up with more rules and ropes... ffs. This industry is hard enough as it is.... Country's ****************ed and kick one we all limp most industries overlap in one way or another

In all fairness I'm not taking it somewhere to sell straight on etc or from that specific journey.... no profit is made from said journey it is just clearing a site of said timber so then invoice can get put in. I dont even care for the timber but if it's not gone no job. Better for me to do it as a qualified person than a farmer. This is materials / wood / Virgin chip of which I have a waste carrier's license for. It is taken back to yard to be stored . Timber is in lengths and not rings asin processed for anything. If this doesn't fall under agri and forestry I'll platt sawdust. The ea even give an exemption for storing said woodchip and timber on agricultural land. So the arriving if you will are being removed from one farm / agricultural place to another farm within a 15mile radius..... I'm still saying red for me. I'm not carting shit off domestics in dump trailers or any of that carry on.

My own personal. All jobs are to clear and leave site tidy. Not hauling for anyone

These trucks are all well and good but how are you supposed to do trees on agri land that are through umpteen fields to get to the works / base of tree or any produce out? My main use of a tractor is felling large buggered trees in places that only a tractor can go. On agricultural pasture, felling and harvesting said timber thay then goes to biomass only. Can't do my agricultural works without a tractor. And if the suggestion is to get a wagon to take tractor to site 10 miles away to do the works and then back, no chance. Hard enough trying to keep going in this game then add more expense on to jobs that you won't get.... If these last 2 years have taught me anything.... business of all sizes are tightening belts and penny pinching right from the top to the bottom

I wish we could all come together to talk about this sensibly rather then tit for tat.... as alwaysnits non tractor users vs tractor users. Not constructive at all

Exactly it's blatant admission

So are you just saying to run white in tractors and crack on?

Got my plan sorted out : https://youtu.be/FjvdHE1E5eI

Allready have a 6bt Cummings in my case mx tractor thanks 😊 hell of a thing. Lovely thing and exhaust sound

I don't need speed etc just something capable.... my main motor is a Renault master tipper 125hp or a 141hp Ford ranger.... Like the truck, think the rangers a bit soft for Towing.... Just want another tipper to carry a load and tow as the ranger can only tow as such a small back being double cab truck....

That's fair game.... I'm only usually on national speed limits anyhow and not much on the motorway thank fully.... especially not when they go to smart motor ways and fine us for over loading lol 😆 Just wanted to make sure with a nox of chip and 2t trailer it was semi respectable O ly considering this as need another tipper to run along side main one.... there's some crap out there. Mainly old crusty transits.... some landys are good value in comparison

What is a 300tdi landrover defender like for Towing Inc a heavy chipper behind with a box of chip? Is owt that can be done to give more grunt? Or just give it a miss? Thanks

But how or what do I need to put into my new clock for it to calibrate the reading?

Right, the wires already there from the old clock so that's OK, I just need to calibrate it to read correctly the rpm of the engine... I remember years ago using a timing lightning my college days back in 2006/7 ish, never used one since lol. Can't even remember what's what.... something else I'll have to buy then I suppose 🤔 And I always thought they were for dizzy cap timing? Infact the wire feed is that red one on the w post that feeds the clock to give the rpm

Sounds reasonable.... you did keep the old timberwolf as a back up for a good while. I'm lucky I have a few chippers if any give me issues I can always get by

Does this help at all? 4 connections on it.... as we look at the pic there is 12v feed at 8pm.... another connection at 10pm.... w post at 12pm and another little one at about 4pm

Whet! When did you buy a pencil sharpener Mick? 😀

I'd wire wheel the rust with a grinder.... the use some rust remedy maybe then prime and paint.... or rather than rust remedy and your confident you got the rust out, some etching primer

Ahh, Just had a look, can get both.... I need some soon and will go for the paint in a tin enamel. Can get a good finish with a roller I tell you As said its all about the prep

This genuine spray, is it rattle can stuff? Decent paint or crap?
