agrimog

depends on the code after your C1+E what your max isan awfull lot of people lost the higher weight entitlement when things changed because they didnt query the reduction

so basically the same as a C1.......8250T GTW

a weird question came up the other day, couldnt answer it, hopefully someone out there can........had an ex military guy came bye, he passed his hgv3 back in the day, what excatly does it cover these days........

is there anyone n the sw scotland area able to do some serious stump grinding for us, we've tried a hired in unit and it took ages as it was on the small side, mostly larch stumps in an open field situation and running in the 12" to around 30" dia size, cut off as close to the ground as possible, there is accsess to a tractor or tracked unit if needed, but nobody seems to hire kit of this size, let me know who, or whats out there

on the subject of a mog being agricultural......refer to the construction and use act, definitons of an agricultural machine/tractor......front or rear three point hitch, mog has both, front or rear pto, mog has both, initial registration as an agricultural machine from new, yes, , the usual crap comes into the rules for the use of rebated fuel.....there is a good downloadable set of instructions from HMRC, takes any confusion out the use

still have the beast, doesnt get used much these days as it needs a refurb, but a yanmar compact tractor and an IH454 tractor keep things rolling along nicely

about time, it might start to see a realistic pricing returning to the pickup market, working vehicles used far tax loopholes for too long

further to my post, it brings memories of having to do a telehandler certification as I reqd a "ticket" to be able to use one.......I am now in my 60's and I think I was about 14 or 15 when our first "forklift" arrived on the farm, basically a tractor reversed and a forklift mast stuck on it......from that through just about every conceviable type of "thing" with forks on......including some very weird and special things in the military, Ive driven them all.......so 2 hours in the classroom being taught the basics by a rather young gentleman, a quick written exam, doh....and then a practical test.....moving some boxes on pallets about.....so upon finishing and being told stack them on that wagon.....placed them in such a way as the instructor could not get them back off with the same machine......I just looked shrugged my shoulders, laughed and walked away laughing, I wonder if he workrd out how I actually did it yet....lol......

at 1.2m wide unless you have some serious underside bracing in place any slab will crown significantly......I recomend you use 3 or even 4 pieces with the grain alternating and either biscuit or spline jointed, if you could source them from the same log the grain structure will match

if this forum continues it will open the old can of worms......"tickets, re-assesments, how long things last, and what you actually can do ", these days, with every "outdor" shop selling some make of chainsaw, toolstores selling battery top handles, and even chainsaw bars for circular saws, there is a increase in jobing joiners using them....no "tickets" a basic knowledge and maybe, if your lucky someone giving them 5 min's instruction, we are in a way returning to the way it was before "the big storm", when there was little or no regulation about saws, then suddenly the massive increase in injuries forced H&S to do something. I have been asked on several occasions "do you have a ticket for your sawmill", I just laugh these days, 20years experience and still picking up little tricks here and there, I wonder who the instructor would be....as I now have an "apprentice", I make sure everything they are shown is noted in the work book so there is a record, this, as far I am aware is a perfectly acceptable training record and covers us both as far as insurannce goes, as for use of other tools and equipment they recieve onsite training as reqd

take one old static caravan and add some wany edge boards =

woodland mills do a 4" a 6" and an 8" pto driven chipper, check on the uk website

since this tory goverment came in £190 billion has dissapeared in various handouts for "companies" to provide certain services reqd by them, without going throrugh the proper channels, all reqd by "emergency measures " being in place, we used to laugh about the corruption in third world countries......these days the tories are not even trying to hide there corruption and are just laughing at the rest of us

speak to a lawyer about pursuing a civil claim against the officer who tried to cuff you....unnesescary use of force, and acting outwith his authourity....a serious offence on his part, plod are getting to officious these days and seem to have forgotten there purpose......to serve the public.....most of them are on a power trip and looking for the slightest reason to cuff anybody and be the bully boy
