Hi I have experienced both a TR8 with the kubota 35 Hp diesel circa 2019 and now replaced with a TR8 55D Dosan powered unit ! The dosan seams to power it very well and personally think it’s definitely benefiting from the extra HP only time will tell but it’s definitely a good unit.

Yup as of sometime this autumn Steve ! New rules for towing a trailer or caravan with a car from autumn 2021 - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK There will be new rules about towing a trailer or caravan with a car later in 2021. Find out how the changes... I wonder if this will see a better built chipper market spring up now weight won’t be an issue ?

Hi, yes I use one on a 528 avant it’s the genuine avant flail works well especially if you keep the flails sharp. Like most attachments hydraulically driven you have to pace your forward speed to the thickness and amount of material to cut but definitely a worthwhile attachment did a site clearance job recently taking out thick heavy bramble and scrub will take out 30-40 mm thick saplings if your slow and steady. Works well in grass even with hammer flails again just pace forward speed to conditions slow and steady in thicker heavier conditions and it’s still possible to cover a fair mount of ground in short order !

Third for the shredder blade on brushcutter! Cut and shred what your comfortable doing then pitch fork or rake the top over to get the upper stuff you will be surprised how quickly you will get through it when you get a rhythm going!

Most Maize is grown now for Base feedstocks into the "green" bio digester plants as they need stable base feedstocks even though these plants could run on waste products etc for stable and consistent outputs the favour maize. I grew up on farms etc and yes maize can be one of the most land damaging crops due to the harvest season being so wet usually and the run off and erosion from bare land over winter due to not being able to work it when wet ! A good portion of Fodder or sugar beet is also now going into the "green" energy market as feedstocks for the Bio digesters or to produce Ethanol for the fuel markets!

Petrol contains currently 7-10% ethanol as "bio fuel" component usually from either the Sugar industry or Corn growers in say the US. Diesel is currently 7% bio fuel which will be derived from natural oils either virgin Vegetable oil, reclaimed oils, and animal fats all reacted with Methanol to produce the fuel. Many many users have had filter issues with fuels Red and white as the current base stock fuels are the same and have been since 1st January 2010 which are Ultra low sulphur fuels as these are the only fuels that will work with DPF and SCR emissions control systems. The difference comes in the Dye firstly then the Additive package that's added to the fuel when loaded at the tank farm so the high grade expensive V power fuel is the same base stock as Farmer joes Red diesel both with a % of bio fuel in them and the difference being the V power has some very good effective Additive package added and they bump the fuel price accordingly, all diesel has to meet EN590 specs. A lot of issues arose when the addition of the Bio fuel was started as the Bio fuel is an excellent cleaner it strips dirt and residue from tanks etc and this in suspension causes the blocked filters etc this is ongoing as lots of sites have older tanks and machines with dirty tanks and event the tank farms I guess ! I know at least two farmers who only use GTL (gas to liquid) fuel at a 5p per litre premium as it has no bio fuel element and its much much cleaner and apparently environmentally much less harmful and since running on it have no filter issues. https://certasenergy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Cleaner-Fuel-for-Cleaner-Air-Brochure-NEW.pdf

If you can find a wheel to fit with a bigger axle bore then some one (like me) can make spacer tubes to fit old to new if that makes sense? David

Try using 400x8 6 ply trailer tyres and tubes we used to fit these as standard replacements on the barrows at the college for the horticultural and Equine departments and saw very few punctures in comparison to a standard barrow tyre! something like these? 4.80 / 4.00-8 TRAILER TYRE AND TUBE MAX LOAD 335kg 6PLY TYRE 400 - 8 400X8 TYRE WWW.EBAY.CO.UK MAX LOAD 335kg 6PLY TYRE 400 - 8 TYRE & TUBE.

Hi I have a friend who is a fabricator and builds these kind of body’s and lockers etc amongst his other talents and is based just outside Scaynes Hill ! give Paul a call on 07966 247210

Emailed them but Gmail is saying it can’t deliver do we know if they are still trading ? If so I’ll call them instead ! Any help appreciated

With today’s technology I believe the camera equipment will read every numberplate and the laser the speed of each then runs the number through a database which will determine the class of vehicle and then cross reference to the recorded speed then wallop your done if your speeding ! It’s simple algorithms I’m guessing and a shed load of data !

Due to the ACPO guidelines of 10% +2 As you have mentioned above !

That’s the one your a star !

I’m sure there is/was a company that specialised in small carburettor parts and kits ! I can for the life think who it is/was or find them online ! Anyone help ? Zama and Walbro parts I’m after ! Cheers David

Mobile camera van ! Those and most of the yellow Specs or Vector cameras are linked via ANPR to the DVLA and can automatically tell the type and class of vehicle therefore they can apply the appropriate speed limit instantly!

Got done for 60 on single carriage way three years ago if I had been doing 57 I’d have been fine !

Give Paul Lincoln a ring on 07966 247210 tell him GT gave you his number

It's like that on a lot of places top fruit farms and salad and veg growers ! Bit daft lol !

Excellent guys thanks I'll have a ring round and see who's got what

Hi All I'm doing some work for a client who has asked me to source the following Oak sleepers either: 2 x (1800mm x 225mm x 100mm) 2 x (1800mm x 225mm x 50mm) Or 2 x (1800mm x 250mm x 100mm) 2 x (1800mm x 250mm x 50mm) Excuse the sleeper mention but that's what they think they are ! They are going inside a Glamping hut so will need to be ready to use inside so give me your best gents pm if you feel happier ? Thanks in advance David

10-14mm thick with beveled edges 75mm overlap and 4 angles welded to stop it moving and a small hole to lift it and it's done for life !

I'd say he's on the Kent Surrey border !

Dpd seam to be top. Itch round here too also our FedEx guy is top too ! As for the Tuffnells driver I have watched him walk all over the parcels in the back of a 7.5tonner not giving one sh1t about what they are fragile or not !

Uk fail are the worst the driver dropped my parcel next door which is 500meters away and they didn't know and wasn't till I questioned vendor etc did we find out where it was !!
