OK Since mineziz is up for renewal March this year, fingers crossed then?

for each foot . . .

An absolutely bona fida mechanic I knew, and RUC Reserve too, was spitting blood, when he absently mindedly put his old blue NI licence in for renewal, sans photocopying same, and lost his proper big motorbike entitlement, and despite busting a gasket trying to get redress, he made zilch of it. marcus

I understood a simple lobotomy was all that was required for the purposes of Cornish assimilation . . .

Yup! I done gone done my best to cut my left thumb off with a brand new (probably Sandvik) bowsaw blade, but fortunately it stopped on the bone without catching any tendons. Still got that scar as a reminder.

Thanks OSM, Believe it or not, I read through that Doc I linked a few times and did not see that footnote, or pay heed to that footnote, a weakness of mine I am troubled to admit, and it took me a lot of years to acknowledge this unfortunate trait. EDITED: Whale Oil Beef Hooked! there it was in that small small small small print Anyway, that is the "why" they tweeked the regs in 2013. Thank you, Marcus

So what you are saying is . . . Or where does your 2nd para be sourced? but then if whatever proportion of the load not being carried by the semi-trailer, must be added to the towing vehicle, which for "my" Ford F-150, would very easily push the GVW over the 3500KG limit for driver legality, surely, since there are never any free lunches with these regs?

see link up to 3500Kg only for electric braked trailers https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20121003162152/http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/@motor/documents/digitalasset/dg_200827.pdf see also this link https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/5th-wheel-pickup-and-trailer.35571/ generally very good solid info on this site

https://www.auto123.com/en/new-cars/technical-specs/ford/f-150/2018/4x2-regular-cab-short-bed/xl/ and https://www.hotcars.com/ranking-the-10-toughest-towing-vehicles-that-arent-pickups-and-10-that-are/ So does a Ford F-150 count as a car, since it only weighs 2767Kg(Gross Veh Weight), per the 1st link but can tow 13,200 lbs (=6000Kg exactly) per the 2nd link. It would need a 5th wheel(or sommat other than a 50mm ball coupling leastwise) and electric brakes, BUT, despite the earlier posted blurb, I am not sure that electric brakes are recognised in the UK, yet another gray area marcus

Now that comment reminds me of being a young unmarried man . . .

No, but Ausa do a useful looking "niche" small rough terrain forklift, and a babby telehandler too.

Typical tragedy of the commons stuff, no different to sea fishing.
-
But is that not a 7490kg veh, i.e.<7500kg but not <3500kg, so not a car? Since my Licence states that for B+E the "B" is less than 3500kg So no good for the B+E classification So, actually, what veh is it?

But, hmmm? Agriculture includes forestry, but can arb work really be considered forestry, so is a tractor really legal in respect of arb work, for domestic customers, and if it is not illegal in other respects should it perhaps be running on clear diesel? P.S. I followed a 175HP Case today, doing 40+ mph, I followed it for some considerable distance too, and def consistently just over 40mph

I got a full 4000kg payload on a Mitisubshi 7500kg beavertail. put buckets in a 750kg tlr behind, or a 3500kg trl if you were astute enough to preserve your 12000kg GTW grandfather rights back in 1997 when they moved the licencing goalposts. I was not unfortunately, which still pisses me off bigtime. marcus

I would probably like to suggest a case against the Police, your sister in law could perhaps state that she felt pressured/blackmailed by the Police effectively holding her dog hostage, until/unless she paid up. And unfortunately, I fear the Police are less concerned about correctly apportioning culpability, than getting a nice tidy hassle free "result", and fcuk the collateral damage. Obviously legal advice is required. Marcus P.S. Would a local MP's office be able to offer any advice or support, re the legalities?
-
That is why I commented, any I see being walked about our local village are always muzzled, and wor local blokes would not tend to be sticklers for the law, so there must be some leverage.
-
I tend to agree with Stephen's IW "if it fits" assessment. I presume you are saying why not move on a 7.5 tonne beavertail truck= spot on solution for us older drivers
-
Your sister in law has my full sympathy, BUT, are greyhounds not required to be muzzled , despite being on a lead. That could have swung it against her. Otherwise I, me, mesel, would have fought it, especially with a witness. Marcus

Apparently Leaving the wood in the water for a year, leaches out the sugars, therefore the wood will not split after cutting? Is this a correct explanation? I can understand it keeps it wet, therefore softer and easier to cut, yes? Plus less grit/no grit. mth

Better live with my wee Kioti a few years yet, it does all I need, but the multi speed PTO on the Hurlimann ud a been nice P.S. see link to my heart throb; http://www.tunstalltractors.com/shop/product/2592/Hurlimann/Prince-55/

Fiddle brakes not working then . . .

Is that a Hurilman?, from the colour of the paintwork. I was drooling over a Hurliman Prince, brand new, and £16,000 + V, but the loader was a tad cumbersome, for less lift capacity too, before I found and bought the wee Kioti. I still got the hots for a Hurliman mind. If it is a Hurliman, man are they a quart in a pint pot, and in a good way. mth

50 odd year ago, perhaps nearer 55, Dad fitted a loader to the B250 International, the loader was badged as IH , but with a plate somewhere stating "Alo", so as an inquisitive child I asked "why"?, as I thought it was an International. Dad explained all about the superb Swedish steel and that these loaders were simply as good as could be got. Actually it was probably the first true "quick detatch" tractor loader. And to my knowledge Alo are still very big in the tractor loader market. Some things never change, with(slight) due apologies to JCB. P>S> It is still sitting about somewhere at the homeplace.
