  1. well all you's running tractors out there will be pleased to know you can now run at a stunning 25mph, and have an all up weight of 31ton after the changes came in on the 9th of march........dont let the extra speed get to you now.......lol:lol:
  2. check the clark website, they do a hydraulic wedge, but its pricey
  3. if you dont know what your doing, or are unsure, leave it to someone who does
  4. to comply with loller, any kit must be checked by a "competent" person, now who is going to be more competent than the person who is using, maintaining, and repairing whatever kit is involved. back in the days of common sense how did we ever manage without all this big brother holding our hands........
  5. twin tanks are ilegall you must stop, empty the red out, change the filter, then refill with white, and vice versa every time, just in case you might travell 100yards up the road on rebated fuel !!!!!!
  6. a pretty comprehensive list apart from the high speed tractors bit.....20mph is the limit, and it only applies to vehicles that do not conform to construction and use act....ie dont have suspension on all wheels (tractor being a solid mounted gearbox back axle assembly) fastracs, unimogs, and trantors all have suspension therefore are not restricted to 20mph.....dependant on what they are towing!!!!
  7. ok smarty pants mark. pto, get my wuking murds fuddled I do, been a long day fighting with H&S over some paperwork
  8. playing field is classed as a public area so horticulture wouldnt apply, some crazy rules out there, of all the ones horticulture is the most difficult to comply with
  9. dont mess around phone plod and demand they are charged with theft and criminal damage, and dont accept no for an answer
  10. if the mog is fitted with a three point linkage and a tpo, there is NO doubt, it is an agricultural machine, this is clearly covered in the construction and use act.....not arguable by anyone, even VOSA, they can only apply the rules, not make them, no matter what they like to think, do a search, print off the relevant sections and paras, laminate them and keep them in your mog, when you get hasstle off any of them, including plod, take them out and ask just what bit of black and white dont they understand, do not ever let them tell you they know best, and once again THERE ARE NO GREY AREAS WHERE MOGS ARE CONCERENED, its all been sorted out in various courts a long time ago
  11. fill the rat hole with broken glass topped off with concrete, they'll try and dig it back out, the glass shreds them
  12. if it wasnt forestry, agriculture, or horticulture, it must be white.....arboculture does not allow the use of red.....no grey areas, its all clearly layed out in the HMRC guidlines, pay the fine and think yourself very lucky
  13. just be aware tim, that our location wont support the prices that folk can charge down south, the closer to london, the higher the value of good quality boards
  14. what you require is profesionall indemity insurancse for any product you provide, a little different from public liability, if possible char the larch where it comes into contact with the ground, much better than any treatment, and a polyurathane type adhesive for fixing into the timber will allow for movement without cracking and allowing moisture into the core
  15. my first ever saw was a mac 10-10, i was way ahead of anything else around, I too am sorry that I got rid of it, but I've still got my little powermac6 top handle, maybe a bit heavy but can still play with the big boys no problem
  16. japanese manufacturer, very highly thought of in precision engineering circles and at rthe forefront of high tech 2 stroke development, so it should be high class equipment
  17. what do you mean his tickets have lapsed, they are a qualification, they cant lapse, when will folk realise this and stop pandering to the self financing idiots
  18. split your full width boards down with a thin kerf blade on a table saw, then you can run them through a planer, re-asemble them with either biscuits or a spline, finish with a light sand, saves a lot of grief

    Transit Thefts

    a hidden ignition device in the fuel tank linked the brake light , they steal the van, first time they touch the brakes...boom...no more tealeaf, and a nice new vehicle on the innsurance
  20. Im curently milling 116 larch logs for a log cabin build, all in the 10-12 inch range, great stuff to work with, when used outside larch will last a very long time with no other treatments
  21. there not far from you, give them a bell and go up and see one in action, they were operating out of a farm near lesmahagow last I knew
  22. get a good 4x4, and a 338, no need to venture far from the path then, just need someone to fetch them back!
  23. tourniquets are great, but learn how , and more importantly where to apply them, they were frowned upon for a long time, but with the increased trauma effects being seen in various military theatres are coming back into use,find a first aid trainer who is familiar with there use, and the various haemostatic compounds (celox) and geat some training in there use, you never know when you might need to use them. I really think the introduction of the EFAW+F course will prove invaluable in getting more of our trade up to a higher level of first aid ability than was generally avaiable with the old "green box course", there are some even better courses out there, but these start going to levels close to trauma treatment, hopefully no-one should ever need these, but do your research, remember it might be you requiring the treatment, so dont scrimp on your first aider training

    4x2 box with 5mm wall, 2x2 box again with 5mm wall, and 1x1 box, 3.2 wall as per the drawing on woodmills site, £240 including delivery, I've went for 750kg unbraked indispension units,(calculated the weight will be a round 600kg) so no need for brakes, Ive stuck to the drawing except for the axle position, the americans can get away with a non suspended version, I'm mooving towards the rear by 8" to make it a lot more stable. also adding 4 more levelling legs equi spaced to support any really heavy loads, It should have been finished by now, but I'm up to my ears in building a log cabin that was pushed back from october last year, 5 more weeks before I can get back into it
