  1. 3500max including trailer, 750kg unbraked trailer, otherwise tow vehicle and trailer up to 3500kg, ie 2200kg vehicle, 1300kg braked trailer, as long as within vehicle allowance (you need to check vehicle plates for max weights)........the limits and what was allowed were never made clear as it suited both VOSA and plod to keep everyone in the dark
  2. a table and chair set from some windblown corsican pine (overlooks royal troon golf course:001_smile:)
  3. let them all sell it at there silly prices, hold onto your stock, and come the end of jan when nobody has any left, sell it for what you feel is a good price for you, there are lots of "muppets" jumping on the band wagon, they sell green wood at cheap prices, make a quick profit, and dissapear after one season, good suppliers have a client base that keeps coming back year after year
  4. howford hydraulics at catrine, speak to George, they specialise in agricultural hydraulics
  5. cheers guys, will try dingbro and killworth tomorrow
  6. can anyone help me,I am trying to identfy the filters required for this tractor, it has a lombardini ldw 1404 engine, and has been a little neglected, all the markings have gone from the oil and desiel filters, and the little hydraulic one is rusty ! any help as to numbers that could be cross refrenced at a local factor would be great
  7. has no-one actually looked at the design closley, they are designed for smaller diameter trees where your going to almost be spikeing on opposite sides of the trees
  8. where the lever for working the three point linkage is, there is usually a facility to take an output to operate a single acting tipper ram( it works in conjunction with the three point linkage) have a good look in your manual, or check out other kubota tractors
  9. the newer range of heamostatic products seem to be made up of non woven cloth impregnated with the "celox" type products, a lot easier to use, and not so frowned on by the medical folk in A&E the origonal celox granules could cause issues with anyone with a shelfish allergy, not very well publicised
  10. how many of you that work in areas that re quite remote actually make a note of the gridref and/or lat/long readings of a site sutible for a helivac should it be required?, and know how to get a helivac in for a serious trauma incident
  11. doing domestic work, you dont have any of the advantadges, white diesel, hgv reg, and "o"licence limitations, tacho restrictions, and all the normall crap that goes down this road, you would be a lot cheaper upsizing on your truck, look at any 4x4 7 1/2 tonner, and if you really want you can stick a pto on most of them for a chipper. you could try the agri route, but if you transgress just a little off the rules, and they are strict !!!, you will get hammered by VOSA and HMRC
  12. very few first aid courses teach major trauma, most are based around the "big green box" first aid kit, you are going to have to find a specialist to even think about any specialist trauma courses based around chainsaw, and even they are going to be ltd
  13. are you doing tree surgery work or forestry
  14. doesnt even make good firewood !
  15. depending on timber species, between £12-£15 a tonne roadside, and you will need to put between 8-12 tonne a day on the road to survive, very difficult without some form of machinery for extraction
  16. would you stop doing that, cleaning the half eaten food out the keyboard is a nightmare........lol
  17. climbing ropes are for climbing, use them for rigging a job and they then become just that, rigging ropes. and if theres no qualified rescue bod on the team, no-one goes up the tree, it just isnt worth the risk, a quick written risk assesment and a method statment, and if he doesnt want to comply....walk away, do not put yourself at risk----for anyone..PERIOD
  18. thats a lot of cladding...lol
  19. unless you have a lot of work dictating off road capability, the 7.5tonner is the better option, a mog only comes into its own when you can utilise its abilities, pto, hydraulics, etc, but it has its limitations in an urban role, and unless you have a first class mechanical know how, they can become very pricey to operate compared to a conventional truck
  20. have a look at what this guy does with them, then decide, everybody seems to think its not safe ?????
  21. late into this, but lodgepole tips the scales at 39lb a cubic foot, its sometimes easier to work in old stuff cos its easier to picture a cubic foot than a cubic mtr when your looking at a bit of wood
  22. I use a a snipe cut a lot of the time on bigger timber that I dont want damaged by hitting the ground hard, just slides off and lays down gentle
  23. the RMX is a rapid micro miling chain, not a low profile or picco, its going to take a big bite!
  24. logosol supply 63 PMX chains, not rmx
  25. there are more cant's than cans when it comes to the use of red for forestry, it takes some carefull reading
