Brackets and tank.... must get the tank with a fuel cap though
-
Been through this years ago... ripped bottom of 2 tanks on a crew cab I owned. had enough. Got a fuel tank of an ldv convoy tipper. One with a nozzle and cap with a key. Also got the brackets with it. Thinknit was maybe 80.00 ish. That bolted onto the chassis easy and was well up out of the way. From recollection i could also fuel it up without having to tip the body up slightly also. Rewired into the fuel sender on the ldv tank and guage worked too Theres your fix boys. Was spot on then

I used to use veg oil for a good while. Great and cheap but all it did was stick all the fine sawdust to the saw and gunk everything up. Ended up due to build up knackering the worm gears from the pumps on a few saws in the end. cleaned tanks out and gave up with it. Been using oregon or super sexy oil. also have used clarkes bio oil for a good while and had no issues there

How much is it going to cost for a small dabble of the toe? Little 1.5t with longer arm and a fixed grab? Roughly

Keep thinking about a small 1.5t ish digger with a grab or finger to help out on site. Fear it will be too small for most stuff aswell

Is there any way to safe guard your business? Probation period to see if candidate is suitable? What needs to be in an employment contract? Pensions etc.... A few people have said its cheaper and easier having full time staff... ? Am I Mad? lol All info greatly appreciated Cheers
