    Unimog tyres?

    mitas are hard to beat, price is good, MT3 is a good road comprimise, got the extra bits to keep road noise down without comprimising off road ability, if your not doing a lot of off road work, consider getting a set of 22.5" rims and running super singles, cheaper, quieter, longer lasting
  2. you need to strip the pump and check for scoring and wear on the end plates, this will cause cavitation and pulsing , depending on how bad, you might be able to hone it out, if not the pumps probably past it, again as has been said before, check rotation, although the arrow says one thing, its very easy to reverse the rotation of these pumps, and quite often isnt marked on the casings as having been changed, oil, either iso 30 or iso 46 should do, as will any 10w single grade oil, intake pipe work, rew new it as a matter of course, its a cheep fix to many other "problems"
  3. ranges from £250 to £400, depending on what, where, and how much assistance is available, plus any breakages (bands and chains)
  4. that hurricane is the reason your all stuck with the rules and regs that now plague us, so many fly by night, inexperenced, muppetts were hurt with chainsaws that H&S had to come up with a set of "rules" to cover there butts, and they've been getting stupider eversince
  5. some folk live on a different plain.......and some idiots pay it !!!
  6. it is for a boat, its an outboard motor, 4ltrs of v8 in fact, evenrude xp300
  7. that 2 way splitter was on display at the arb show 2 years ago, silly money, and didnt lend itself to CE certification( very difficult to work with a two hand lever on the split cycle)
  8. they dont like warfarin very much either
  9. get the rumtopf jar going..mmmmm
  10. the real answer to the question about landrovers...they market them as being "the best 4X4Xfar", then why is there a multi million pound aftermarket improving them, answer, cos there still using post war technolige, apart from slightly updating the engines, and trying coil suspension, they are still piles of crap !!!, no room in the cab(unless your a midget), rot in front of your eyes, no side impact protection, no wait there is, its your legs, factory fiddled towing capacities to make them attractive in the face of REAL FIGURES from the competition. I have never been able to comprehend why so many sheep love them, and dont start me on transits!!!!!!!.......rant over
  11. that is beech, 7years on the ground for sycamore =gloop, not timber
  12. K-seal might repair it, do a google search for companies doing block stitching, this used to be a common repair technique

    mini 4wd truck

    tata is the same company who now make land rovers!!!!!!, and contrary to popular opinion, a lot of stuff coming out of china these days is of better quality than produced in the european union
  14. how much power is available at the pto on the 35, and at what pto rpm, your pump will need a method of ataching it to the pto, and probably gearing it up, pump size?, flow = speed of ram movement, psi = power of "push", have a google at "diy hydraulic log splitter kits" see what comes up
  15. drool.........lol
  16. vacume brakes?, thought the RB44 was air over hydraulic
  17. flying rats, take it down, they are not covered by the nesting birds bit, shoot the parents for the pot first

    3 phase

    depends on the use, speed control required = VFD, newton tesla, check there site on ebay, no speed control, a plain static convertor, same source, both types are expensive when your talking 4hp(3Kw)
  19. like it Joe, at least someone has a grasp of reality...lol
  20. well, its finally arrived, have just sent an e-mail to FSC, informing them of a discovery of P Ramorum in our local wood, now waiting for them to get there guys out to confirm the outbreak, this will be the second discovery in our area this week, both small independantly owned plantations
  21. again this crap comes out....get it into your thick skulls once and for all...THERE IS NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT FOR ANY CHAINSAW QUALIFICATIONS IN THE UK....only advisory
  22. countryboy, the use of red doesnt bother me, if I'm doing forestry biased work, I run red, if not I run white, price jobs accordingly, not a problem, my gripe is the speed thing, If as a motorist you constantly ignored speed limits and ran 10-20mph over the limit, you wouldnt have a licence very long, but drive a big shiny tractor towing a massive big trailer, and nobody cares, just dont ask them to stop, I've seen to many accidents with big tractors, heavily loaded trailers and inexperienced college student drivers on a summer job, not to let up on this
  23. RCO, I was involvedin the toolmaking side of the electonics industry, when the uk still had one, we produced the tooling for the production of populated circuit boards, lead times were caculated in hours , stock of raw materials had always to be on the shelf, and components had to be readily available, designs could be changed half way through a production run due to customer changes, it was a cut throat market, little wonder it all ended up going to eastern europe, lower production costs, so I have experience in the market and know what is involved, maybe a different market, .....a simpl;e question, an all metal wheelbarrow, doesnt cost £400, so why does an arb trolley, with a similar amount of work involved in its production?
  24. oh the excitment of nightime motorway work...lol.better than the movies
  25. thats correct, two tank systems were outlawed, so in the fields, you can use red, on the road, you must use white if your a contractor, catch 22 , your supposed to drain, clean, and then refill every time you change, aye, right, so there in a no win situation, price for white, too expensive, loose the job, run red and risk it, make a hefty profit, thats why most of them run fancy new 40kph and now 50kph tractors, ignoring the rules, hoping to get it finished as quick as possible, have you seen one of these trying to stop from 30mph with a full sillage trailer on the back.....interesting is not the word...so when it catches up with them, they get hammered, as I said before, time the playing field was levelled, give everyone a fair chance at a bit
