Definitely worth putting a new galv chassis on, while you are about it repair and rot on the bulkhead and seat box section and dinitrol them and you are good for many years.

I have a Homedics AR20 bought mainly for hay fever season, I would find it too noisy to have in the living room with my fire throughout the winter.
-
At those prices it would be mad to hire it out machine only. We get more than that 1.5 ton rate per day for hiring out rotavators
-
Out of interest what are people paying for 1.5 tonners ? I seam to be doing more and more hire with myself driving and am thinking of replacing the old JCB 8014 with something new but have been asked if I would hire it out self drive.

I only use Neosorexa Gold now Tried Slaymor but the little buggers just ate it and bred some more. They were all gone within 3-5 days with the Neosorexa and couldn't smell a thing.

We were going to place our last order with Smartlift, decent prices, but was put off by their terms for what was a fair sized order. We ended up getting our last lot from MCA Kingston, a little bit dearer but much better quality than others we have dealt with.

I have a load of new but printed bags at £2.00 each plus VAT & postage Probably have 100-150 left PM me if interested

Be sure to tell the dealer it must be 3500kg towing capacity you want, and put it in writing. When hilux's went from 2000kg to 2500kg years ago I ordered one telling the dealer I wanted a 2500kg tow, 3 weeks after getting it I thought perhaps I ought to check the plate and I had been delivered a 2000kg tow. Several calls to dealer and 2 weeks later the truck was replaced with a new 2500kg version and an apology. Identical trucks in every way except for the plate under the bonnet.

If you had agreed to go when she first mentioned it then you are out of order. If you didn't want to go you should have said so from the off.

One of these would do me Jeep Brute

One bloody lucky motorcyclist to get away with broken ribs, if what is being reported is true. Looks like the axles of the trailer saved him.

I was bought a Bosch 115mm years ago and although we have hammered it, the thing has been bullet proof, however had it not been bought for me I would never have bought another Bosch after they refused to replace a brand new industrial circular saw that burnt out on the second day we had it. Otherwise Makita and Hitachi for me.

Been a cracking day Had to do one delivery this morning, then took the bike up to Sizewell, had a really nice ride out. Then a walk along the front at Harwich. Finished off with pie and chips and beer in the garden.

Osteopath every 5-6 weeks for me, best thing I have ever done

Can't argue with that

Never had a problem with my old 8014 JCB, basic but reliable, it gets the job done and was pretty cheap, it has been far more reliable than the new hitachi we had on site recently.

anglia vehicles John was a very helpful chap, but I test drove one and wasn't impressed, gutless for a 4.2 engine imo
-
Definitely the right thing to do. It's good to have some ethics. But are you sure she was on about the pump work

Have tried several methods over the years. Proper hiab pallet forks are a pain unless you have either a rotator fitted or two people, one working the crane and one straightening the forks as you put them into the pallet, make sure if you try them you get a self adjusting set. Scaffold poles and chains are just bloody dangerous for lifting pallets imo, tried it and they slip all over the place. We now use a set of 5 metre slings nailed to a piece of 4x2 that is 4 foot long, just a couple of clout nails on each end is enough, once the wood is pushed under the pallet you know each end sticking out is the same length, works a treat and have been using it for the last 4 years. Edit: if you have pallets back to back on a lorry then you probably do need to use crane forks

Sorry to hear about your dog stubby That's a cracking pup though. I would love another Cocker.
-
Sorry to hear that, there is some real scumbags about. Hopefully they are insured.

It's not coming out until September, and it's still not known if when it's towing at 3500kg you have to carry 500kg less in the truck, like all the others atm. If it has a 3500kg towing capacity and 1100kg in the truck at the same time I will be very interested.
