Jon, I'm sure Land Rover Owner covered this in 8 easy to follow photographs!! -

We once queried this with Withams and Jacksons when looking at Bedford TMs and they both quoted in region of £5k to make them road legal!!

My cousin drives for a logging company on Vancouver Island and he just sent me these pics of his brand new truck! It's a Kenworth T-800, all 3 rear axles drive and can be locked up or just 1 if that's what's needed. Apparently when they are locked and you are pulling a heavy load you loose virtually all ability to steer! Engine is a Cummins ISX 575 hp 57,500 gross 18,200 tare 39000 to 40000 payload....

A lad I know at Amble has a Leyland 255 for sale Mark, apparently in good condition but I have not seen it. Sorry, I just saw the original post was from more than four years ago!!!

Ha ha, it was well after wine o'clock when I wrote that! "Metal gearboxes eh? Like the Stihl contra GS, 041G and the old homelites? All modern saws still have the same metal bits as what they were 20 years ago." Just telling you what my mate who services chainsaws and has done for 30 years told me and has shown me. A lot of modern Stihl and Husqvarnas have plastic parts in them now as opposed to the older models which used metal. Hence they are not lasting as long and are having more problems.

Great pictures. Where do you sail out of??

I bought a second hand 260 four years ago and it has been very good. Mainly used for cutting firewood, struggles with 18 inch bar cutting through 18-24 inch timber. Did some felling last year of sub 14 inch soft wood and it was ideal, light and well up to the job just a small fuel tank. From following many similar threads over recent years it would certainly seem people favour the older saws of either brand. My chainsaw fixer sells Efco and rates them highly over similar Stihl or Husqvarna as they still have metal gearboxes and parts rather than the plastic the other two are using which cause problems.

If you are doing less than 50 cube per year I would hire some one in - I have said it many times before but I have seem claims of people producing 15 cube an hour with a road towable processor.

No bother, see my earlier post re Leyland 255

Unfortunately Jon, Johnny does not appear to want any help as he has not replied!!

:lol:

There was a large magpie sitting in a tree in my garden this morning, had something between his claws he was pulling at. When I shooed him away the item dropped through the tree to the ground and when I went to have a look at what is was, I found a mouse! I didn't know magpies would eat mice.
-
That's why we are all here Jon, to help each other.

Right Johnny, I know a lad who has a Leyland 255 apparently in good condition. Has slight leak on water pump which he is going to fix; no pick up hitch just a solid drawbar. Apparently in really good condition other than that, with new front tyres and would make a good yard tractor. He was hoping for £2k ish but would be open to offers. I have his number should you want to talk to him. Located near Amble in Northumberland.

Isuzu D-Max Tipper | Roger Young Have a look at this Darren.

Wouldn't have thought it was too safe doing it roadside. Splitting ring is quite funky but machine not very fast.
-
You just answered your own question - money! When I was looking around for machines in 2010, the difference between chainsaw and circular saw was at least a grand or two and I certainly have not spent that on chains and sharpening. I too think about wearing a mask. When the sun is shining in the shed you can see fine dust rising of the machine and as we are standing right beside it we must be breathing some it in.

Might know of a Leyland for sale, should get info on Wednesday

Saw three of these on A1 at Newcastle on Thursday afternoon going south running empty and then this morning saw 4 plus a few trailers being pulled by civilian tractor units going north but loaded with what looked like Fv432 carriers. The Oshkosh tractor unit looks very impressive and very mean on the road. My mate has seen quite a few recently and his 15 year daughter asked why they were green. "Because they are army vehicles so they're camouflaged," he replied. "Uuuughh, well the flashing beacons are a bit of a give away!!" she replied!

Bridge Supply Co, Keighley | Bridges Probably too much for what you're looking at but interesting all the same!
-
It is my understanding they would want to know if vehicle was sign written as if you had an accident and they had to repair the bodywork there would be additional costs in reinstating any sign writing that was damaged.
-
I'm always surprised at peoples attitude when told anything they put on a vehicle is a modification - did it come out the factory with that on - no = modification. It's not difficult peeps. At the end of the day you want a policy to pay out if you claim so tell the company everything.

Do you presently have a mortgage? If so you could switch to an offset mortgage. You use your savings to either reduce your monthly payment or the term of the mortgage. For example, if you have a £100k mortgage and £20k savings, you are only charged interest on £80k. Therefore your monthly payment could be lower, or best option, keep your payment the same and you are then overpaying your mortgage every month. This obviously works best if you have everything with the same financial institution as you can offset current accounts as well as savings accounts. The money is still accessible in the savings account so take £1k out and the next day you are charged interest on £81k. Likewise, pay money in or your salary goes in totalling £2k and the next day you are charged interest on £78k. Simples!!
