Bollocks! The 30" :thumbup:bandwheels were my main reason for being attracted to the LM15 Seriously:thumbdown: PS On a more serious note, I know of 2 local NI engineering companies who each employ a degree educated Engineer, on "container stuffing" (i) In respect of the optimium way of packing multiples of the same item. (ii) The best mix of mixed items for each container and (iii) Subtle but significent engineering design and construction "tweeks" so as to facilitate optimium container utilization. Simply because for any sizable Nothern Ireland based company it is a case of "export or die" cheers marcus

£1.000=$1.634 Is that not quite an attrative exchange rate? m i.e. Get em ordered. PS Can one not get the LM15 without the wheels?, or does the axle unbolt for shipping?

Buy once, buy right, buy Morso. Or indeed Clearview, or other correctly engineered and constructed brand.

No luck yet, might need to chase up. Awaiting delivery (tomorrow, hopefully) of my Rotabroach Panther, which will allow me to drill holes up to 40mm dia., so was in no rush. And yes I were sniffing around Wilsons auctions stuff. But I am not good at buying at auction. trust me!

I put feelers out a coupla a months ago to 2 local dealers for a fresh high tip dumper for this very reason. Except I intend to connect a small ex agricultural 3 point linkage mounted forklift up-front. Dammn!! Should patented that idea.

I was aware my post could have come across as a trifle "snarky" or baiting. Thank you for understanding. However, whilst lying and thinking ove the root cause of my irritation, I reckon it is due to the march of progress and new houses everywhere forcing change on others. Especially the adjoining landowners, who are then oblidged to bear extra costs at the whim (sometimes/mostly) of newbie blowins. Perhaps the developers of new estates marching virgin woodland or farmland should instead be oblidged to fund permiter fencing (re "dangerous" livestock) or tree surveys, and associated maint works, and in perpuitity. Then they can load this extra cost onto these desirable new homes in the form of a legal condition on their ongoing ownership. This might curtail the demand for such currently desirable homes. regards, marcus

davy b, if you are now so concerned as to the safety of your house in respect of these trees, why did you buy or rent it? I regularly get a bellyful of "H & S" related nonsense re Council trees overshadowing "their" house. Generrally due to obstructed visibility or falling leaves, or twigs blowing into their garden in a storm. But then for heavens sake, why did they buy the house in a row backing onto the already maturely wooded parkland. Regards, Marcus

Sorry! But a steel sculpture, to timber workers. Scheesh! Someone needs their arse kicked.

Hmmm? You get the "hots" for men in dark green Berets Worrying that.

Just remember to remove the "Dominos" reference in Para 4.

I was sitting in a hungover daze one morning in the Polytech cafeteria, munching on a bacon bap, when Tom gave me a nudge with his elbow. Fair in front of my eyes, not more than 5 feet away, standing in the queue was a very attractive pair of boots, followed by legs in tight jeans, followed by a crisp white blouse stretched over a rather attractive pair of breasts, all of which I hungarily devoured with my eyes, except when I finally reached the length of the face I instantly recognized it, and visa-versa. Oops.

Heh-Heh-Heh, "J" All points duly noted cheers

I will freely admit to knowing zilch about any kind of such racksaw/bandsaw/production saw etc. I understand this to be a rack fed band saw. but (i) what sort of horsepower need to drive it, bearing in mind I recally some silly high horsepowers being quoted on another thread. (ii)How expensive are blades likely to be, though assuming cost effective as an "industry standard" product. (iii) I presume it will do the same job as an American bought portable horizontal bandsaw, except cutting in the vertical plane. (iv) How can I establish its "completeness", since it is sitting in a pile. (v) Perhaps this should have been first, but suitable for cutting shitty small Sitka, if a trifle over-specced for this task? Anyone in the vicinity of the advertised saw know owt about it or its provenance? PS BigJ, better start putting a really fine point on your pricing pencil:lol:

Strangly enough I took it as a "given" that Volvo would not have used such obvious trickery in any way in this ad. Simply because of the importrance of integrity to their brand image. Anyway, they were cheating with the 3 white lines painted on the runway for the Drivers guidance.

We had 2 seasonal employees, who were perhaps a tad too fond of cruising the Main Street ogoling the summer clad females. Until one of them forgot himself of a Saturday morning as he drove down the Main Street with his Mrs. and absently-mindedly "spotted" some particularly "hot-totty" for his mate. Oops
-
Yep, seen that posted elsewhere. I can barely get my head round how they managed it. Assuming it was done live/for real, which I surmise it was. PS The only reversing to anywhere match that Volvo stunt, was a Gunner/farm worker par excellence reversing a LWB petrol Series III Army Landrover, with attatched Sankey trailer absolutly flat-out, for a considerable distance, like in a 100m or so. Down a runway. The slightest twitch or deviation and that yoke would have terminally jacknifed in a split second. He merely asked "do you want me to do it again?" Marcus

Is that not very unusual? And I say that from a positition of often wondering why some of the large loads moved world wide are not fabricated a lot nearer their final destinations, or indeed "on site". My other "wonder" is why do they not use the hovercraft principle for these massive loads? Surely this would spread the weight better than wheels, though I suppose lateral stability could be an issue within the constraints of the width of an average roadway. cheers marcus
