They havent got the man power or time to check camera footage !! well thats what a guy i work with now n then was told by lancs constabulary when his 6 tonne kubota digger went walk about on a ifor williams trailer behind a silver land cruiser, footage was off house CCTV where he was working and which ever way that digger went it had to go to a Mway junction which all carry CCTV cameras, this case was given a crime number and case closed in 2 hrs,,,,,, is this the service we pay for when we pay our council tax mine says Lancs constabulary £186 but whats it for ????

Why 6.2 mtrs and 3.4mtrs ? saw logs are mainly 3.7mtr and 4.9 mtr, most mills will take logs down to 200mm tops

stihl ms 500i Dilemma: What to do with a totally new MS 500i ?
spuddog0507 replied to HackneyAndBeyond's topic in Chainsaws
Why bother with Ebay and have to go through all the hassall if some one arses you about you are getting offers off lads on here, just say what you want for it and you will more than likely sell it in a very short time, you seem to be very bothered about come back on you and i cant understand why ? As stubby said people buy cars and crash then injuring even killing people, that is not the fault of the dealer who sold the car to them, its opperator error !!! -
There is a fair bit to consider here, can it be straight felled ? or looking at it it has some top on it, how much damage cane you get away with round it ? if its to be partly dismantled thats time, the scare at about 7-8 ft looks suspect ? if you get it down and its rotten do yo still have to pay for it ? it could be some very expensive firewood!, if it was me i would walk away and look else where for a couple of logs that are down all ready and can be inspected for rot etc, as Trigger said at £200, if it was sound but you will not know that till you put a saw in it, that price would be ok, work your costs out and what you could possably get back out of it, the dessision is yours,

Wrong spark plug seen it many times, how can it be free with out plug in and then one revolution when plug refitted ?? Had a saw given me a few years ago and was told it was seized up, took plug out and turned over fine, fitted correct plug fired it up stuck it on flebay £345, thank you very much, -
Cabstar i have is a 51 plate and has never had any liners under the bonnet as such, and i have had it 12 years now, never ben a problem for me,

I think you need to think carefully on this and one point to really take in to consideration is that, someone has just spent/handed out a awful lot of money with in Government and put the country in to massive debt, this will need to be paid back, and the way i see it is if they can get a few quid back here and a bit more there they will do, i can see a few more people being employed by DVLA, VOSA, HMRC and customs & excides and put out there to combat all the evasion, One guy runs a car breakers salvage yard and up to about 5 years ago it cost him nothing in fuel to run 2 7.5tonne trucks as they used the diesel out the cars they brought in now he says he cant salvage enough to run one but he gets enough red to run the machines in the yard this will be known by government and i will bet a large amount that there will be more roadside checks taking place in the not to distant future,

Been reading the posts on this thread since it begun and one thing i aint read is, Is this for arb work or with in forestry ? as there are massive differences on the regulations between the 2 with using a tractor and forwarding trailer for haulage, Guy i know of up here got pulled with a tractor n trailer with a digger loaded on it about 2 year ago, so far its cost him 20 odd k and it aint finished yet, then another arb lad with a unimog now on his arse,
-
Yes seen that a few days ago and made me laugh but we will all be there one day !!

Not good but it is going on every where, and not just under the cover of darkness, mate of mine had his suzuki vatara broke in to about midday not long since, he only went to quote a job about 10 minuets and came back and side window smashed, 2 hedge cutters, blower, long reach hedge cutter, pole saw and a 500i that was about 6 wk old,you need to set something up on the door with a 12v gell battery, car horn, micro switch and led lights, if they know your gear is in there they will be back for the new replacment machines,

This subject has more grey areas than the book, 50 shades of Grey. I went through all this about 18 month ago and it was a nightmare from start to finish but i got the result i wanted in the end but it took about 6 month to do it, best addvise i can give you is DONT believe anything anyone tells you on this subject, there is not much above that is correct, do your own reserch with DVLA, VOSA and HMRC as what it says on one website is correct, then says on another its not ???? very confuseing, print every page that applies to your requierment and high light all that applies to you and stick it in a folder, well thats what i did , i spent hours reseching on this subject but got there in the end and if i had took notice of some people i would be ending up doing poridge, good luck,

Yes your right you could,nt make it up. someone not doing there job there and in my book they need a serious repremanding for that, a total mark of Dissrespect, Jill Dando was one of or if not the best TV presenter at the time, she was at the top of her job all the time, Very sad n sorry to hear what has gone on there,

Yes and some where mixed at 10-1 the early seagull outboards where 10-1 and then in the 50s went to 20-1, and during the 2nd WW small boats where sent across the chanel with seagull outboards on to recover troops from the beachs at Dunkirk,
-
Yes look at it, it was thought of by some prick who has never been near any wildfowl or been wildfowling, been out pigeon shooting on a laid barley field today, we have shot god knows how many shells between us, now this very same land we will be shooting Greys and Pinks over it in the next 3 or 4 wks but by law we should be using steel ?? whats the difference ? there isnt one,
-
why 3 mtr ? 3mtr is not a product size 3.1mtr is so thats why no mills would take it and if they had been cut at 3.7mtr even better,
-
4 stacks of timber in 3mtr lengths right to top of pins would be way over gross weigh, we cant get 4 bays of 2.5 mtr softwood chipwood to top of pins before max weight attained,
-
Windblown is where experiance really comes in to its own, you have to know what that timber is going to do when you sever it, i have seen 1 or 2 lads over the years have some very close shaves, one i do remember was 3 large spruce edge trees on one massive root plate all 3 stems after being cut ended up about 12 ft above the cutters head, and when that last stem was severed that root plate all of about 15 tonne of it went down with a bang, not for the faint hearted at all,
