  1. Haha nice one distance is fine close up is shot
  2. they throw em at the spiders
  3. the moan for today being over 50 is i cant read the street names on small roads in the AtoZ without my glasses on and a nice bright light in the truck first thing in the morning
  4. and only drag one bit of brash THEN! watch it as it goes through the chipper then turn around and trip over all the rubbish they've managed to drop around the chipper and still not clear it up
  5. that's every day for me plus they don't show up on time always on the phone always tired leave the rake on the ground and i'm only 52
  6. you do know what their winning bid was what you don't know is what their maximum their prepared to go to i always do my max bid and walk away, no bidding wars that's how you do your dough
  7. when i put a max bid on 24hrs earlier of say £25.67 and the money at the time is £19.49 someone has to bid £20.49 but bids £20.69 it throws the pennies bit out for me they win at £25.69 and my bid never goes through but i look at it that i missed out by 2p hope this makes sense
  8. the one i use has got a 2 second snipe and you can still lose out by pennies
  9. none of the above but our new Peugeot boxer 3500kg tipper ally body with tool compartment mesh sides and mesh rear doors 2 crew tools and fuelled up no chipper on came in at a staggering 2880kg = 620kg payload your have trouble trying to get the perfect 3.5 tonner
  10. some of those quiet country lanes are national speed limit 60mph and are more aggro than busier 2 lane road
  11. spillage on anything other than tarmac try hyperclean that's the product name think its made by comma petrol spillage on tarmac it may melt it just sprinkle dirt on it to try to blend the stain in
  12. whatever you use its going to need a handrail
  13. too true with all the tool-box talks site inductions read this form sign this form to say you understood the last form if anything does happen all you get is well he/she was trained/instructed because we got him/her to sign this piece of paper
  14. only if it was over 50km problem you might have is its going to be over 1032kg = operators licence if you don't tow with duel purpose vehicle
  15. in the good old days of a 4 speed gearbox even i get caught out sometimes swapping from a 6 speed to a 5 speed looking for 6th drove a new transit the other day with a springy resistance for 5+6 changed down from 6th straight into third not nice
  16. haha the black art is the ability to be able to un-load it quicker than you loaded it in a non tipper
  17. just make sure your driving license entitles you to tow that trailer before you get busted by plod
  18. that trailers fine if your on your own ton bags are a pain to lift or shift just stack/lay any brash sensibly when full ratchet it all down nice and tight to compress it then chuck more on top ratchet that down and pull out your first lot of straps your get more on than no mesh sides as said before chuck a bit of debris netting over it and your sorted
  19. use scaffold debris netting keeps the grass in but lets the air through job done
  20. wind your neck in bruv
  21. The A2 in kent 3 or 4 lanes M2 in kent turns to 2 lanes after chatham
