I've this year bought a 1928 road tow as we have the tracked version. The top bar on hopper is awesome very rarely trip it! Great setup. My comment purely just for the top bar in this situation. Also as your going gm, the disc blades from rotatech are peanuts!

Sure joe westrup one FB made an old 125 entec into a tracked machine before, mounting on a tracked barrow One of the old entec 125 with twin rollers fit the bill for you I would think

Too many to list but this is annoying. Thought it smelt of diesel strongly.... had a look and diesel leaking from where the wires go into the pump! Must be cheap crap .... did consider removing it, cleaning it up and epoxy resin around the wires but would presume this would seep through again at some point.

Cheers. How is it then priced per cube? Rough estimates... If you take that figure and work it to metre cube.... if you then divide by 1.5 should this give you rough tonnage? As sure firewood boys reckon 1.5 cube per ton?

This was a stack that only weighed 19t... I was sure I was up nearer 23t ish Guestimation is crap! But 19t was weighed with a trailer crane

I will maybe try this from now on. You just measure height and length x2.5m to get volume or is there a more precise way? Still feel a little diddled

Do you find it takes a lot more wood to get the ton due to the dieback. I had a decent stack of wood this year off one job and thought great, be 23-24t there. Was gutted when it was delivered to firewood man and they weighed it when lifting off and only grossed 19t 😞 volume seemd there but apparently not the weight

Well I didn't find owt nor did I look properly.... I changed the top velcro pads on the old bashlin spikes.... had a lad climb for me for a few days and he had some panther carbon fibre ones which looked good and weighed bugger all! Can't member the spike placement on them though. Few month back bottom strap bust on my bashlins so replaced them and like new again now! Note to anyone else.... bashlin bottom straps were 60 quid ish.... Buckingham ones 30 quid. Near same thing! Same length and a ring that just turns onto the little loop in the spike frame to attach easy.

Winching and carting

2.5t? Really? Videos are deceiving etc but only looked maybe 30" at cut and maybe 7' long ish obv got bigger due to unions. I must get shafted when folk buy and weigh timber from me 😆 Anyway. Bet that was awesome being on the ground and waiting for the pieces to come to sort 😎

Yup, multi meter straight away. See if it will jump, if it does, multimeter again can tell you alot straight away 👍

Yeah when jump started and forced to recharge a 14.4 very etc they seem to do OK when run for the day etc.... soon when left a week or so won't crank. I've one machine that doesn't get used often, I jump started it and left it running on trailer to site lol 😆 it ran all day then and was fine. But that was not last week, week before, bet it's back to knackered now. No point fancying around though with batteries just swap them out. On machines that don't get loads of use, unhook terminals and charge every now and again. Also make sure sat on a rubber matt etc. My teleporter at yard I tried to wrap allsorts around it to keep frost out and touch wood that's fine. On the chipper front as I've a few and swap between what I use each day / week I've decided not to renew battery on machine left idle but just pinch it off the one in use for the time needed Always bought quality too... varta etc not cheap shite

I've recently had it where my battery was showing 12.2v so down a little but wouldn't do anything ... even when charged. Voltage was there but nobody (cracking amps) was home

Bet I'd be better at this than you 😆 735 K vues · 4,6 K réactions | Guy Nails Foot Dancing Arcade Game |... WWW.FACEBOOK.COM This guy's footwork is 🔥🔥 Viralvideouk

Exactly what I do now

Tanks full of shit. No better way than dropping it out. Drain it through a filter into a drum and then hot steam pressure wash the bugger out! Drain it and make sure dry as poss then Diesel swill then refit

My two motors do approx 5-7k a year each and I service them once a year. Sod all this long service interval crap. Oil and filter is cheap enough

Just glad my accountant has been putting me off going ltd for years now 😆 I'm never lucky with anything

Spoke to my accountant today and he said that as a sole trader the company car thing doesn't apply.... Going forwards if I swap my 4x4 dc pickup in for another, I cannot reclaim the vat nor 100% of the purchase only a measly 6% or so.... (after april) So it would seem if you wanted to change you need to do before April so can allow the 100% through your books. After April they're not worth diddly.... and not something you would buy again. If you don't change your motor you can continue as you are especially if you have already reclaimed the vat and allowed all your capital allowances against it....

Morning all, knackered here. Why did Monday come round so fast? Gears in the truck and chipper on. 3 degrees outside. Just walked dog and sat down for 2nd brew before out the door to work. Roll on Xmas for some real time off 😀

Exactly... my accountant always deducts 10% of all motor expenses to go down as personal

When you look on gov website it talks about rules before Apr 2025 and purchase before and after... If purchased before you can run on old rules till you sell, lease is up or Apr 2029... Old rules are.... a dc pickup with a payload of 1000kg is a van.... below this is a car.... if you put a canopy on weather metal, fibreglass etc these are classed as approx 45kg and drops your payload below the 1000kg thus becomes a car.... So possible ok till 2029 but no canopy on the rear. EIM23150 - Car benefit: double cab pickups - HMRC internal manual - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK

Not really. The dc pick up is a jack of all trades master of bugger all. When you work 6 days a week 60-70hours doesn't leave much time for much. Also the Mrs can drive if we go out on Sundays 😆

So your saying that even a small company with a dc pickup in their fleet will now have to pay more tax as though it's a company car?

I nearly bought the Mrs a clean 56 plate few years back... 630 road tax per year 😮 left it
