scraggs

Sadly these are somewhat slow to use and big butts really is all they are suitable for imo. They could be made faster but that would cause more whip in the crane and require more strengthening on the trailer and again less payload, it's a bit of a trade off.

Yes I do have one, best thing since sliced bread it's on an LM146 and has a payload of nearly 2100kg, the crane fitted to these is a bonfiglioli and they have the best lift/crane weight of pretty much anything available but it is at the cost of quality imo, put a better quality crane on and you loose the payload. These are/were made by what is now truck and marine crane but was ACB hydraulics. Mine was about 8 months old when I bought it, it had extra services, rotator and grab, price new was pretty scary at nearly 15k inc VAT with all the extras. It's rated at 1000kg with the boom in and can do that and more with ease, they are suprisingly hard to tip over (and I have tried ) just to see how stable it is. It's one of those things that is worth the money if you can find someone who actually has a proper need for it, I believe there was another on here that took ages to sell. For my next one I will probably sacrifice a bit of payload though and get a better quality crane, as it gets a lot of use. I would not be without one now.

Out of interest what ifor is it ? and is it a double or triple extension boom, and has it any auxiliary services ? I assume it has the loncin engine ? Is that a recent photo ?

Bugger trying to get one of those down at the start of the day

They do indeed, it's in quite a few supermarkets now, but obviously far dearer than the false rubbish, tastes so much nicer though.

Rocks cordial What do I win ?

Not sure how well an inflatable would fare if you were to scrape the bottom on shallow bits, only one way to find out I suppose We have a couple of sit in kayaks for me and my g/f, and a couple of sit on tops, which are ideal for taking newcomers out on. Please please please whatever you buy make sure everyone in it especially kids wear a buoyancy aid, I know it's nothing to do with me but mishaps can happen very quickly. I am always amazed at how stupid people can be on the water, last Saturday we went up the river and we had a couple come past in an inflatable kayak and sitting in the back was a woman holding a baby in her arms, none of them were wearing a buoyancy aid I am sure you will get a lot of fun out of whatever you get.

Be interesting to see how they work/perform, may be handy for some of my customers. I don't lay turf any more on the business side, this is for an old friend, so it's down to him to water it. We used to used a perrot rollcart sprinkler on big jobs, set it up and leave it. We mainly laid turf on the understanding (and in the contract) it was the customers responsibility to water it, although we would give it it's first water.

After a couple of hours at 31* if he don't get water on it straight away there wont be a green side

I'm laying turf on Wednesday

Done the full width intercooler and a VNT Not cheap but well worth the money, the power increase is pretty substantial. I still need to sort out the fueling which I will get around to at some point. I would highly recommend doing it, I ended up buying mine from allisport after being messed about for weeks by allard.

She was fine one minute, then went into liver failure, blood tests showed high levels of toxins in her blood. We will never know if it was genetic, she picked something up in the garden or as several friends have suggested, someone threw something over the gates for her to eat and shut her up. We know from the last incident that people have been busy looking around at night. I had thought about a GSD, I have been bitten 3 times in my life and every time has been a GSD

coincidence this thread gets dragged up, I was calling past the home brew shop this afternoon and thought it would be wrong not to stop and buy another one Woodfordes Admiral's Reserve this time

If it's anything like the one I fitted last year you will soon get fed up of bugs setting it off, great idea in theory but the image quality of mine is rubbish and the false alarms is well, alarming. Don't really know what the answer is, I used to think a dog was a good idea, but after what happened to our spaniel I am not so sure on that anymore.

what a sad world we live in

Having looked into it more after ordering and reading a few articles on the pubmed site I have decided it might not be such a wise idea, it appears a few people with pollen allergies have had anaphylactic shock after taking the stuff. That may explain why the first dose or doses of immunotherapy treatment apparently have to be taken at the doctors.

Have done that for years but it does nothing anymore

Cheers for that I have just ordered some. How much would you take a day if it's ok ?

I have just been looking it up and it appears to be something else bee pollen. I will happily try anything

Has anyone tried immunotherapy, I seem to be having more and more problems with hay fever and saw an item on TV on how good it can be. It's unlikely I would get it on the NHS and is fairly expensive, apparently it can not be started mid season so will have to wait.

I didn't bother to ask her what the options were, she was told to take it to the nearest garage, get tyres fitted and return to them to prove she had them fitted. I would be pretty sure that if they decided to go to court over nearly illegal tyres it would make an interesting case, It's either illegal or not, that's why we have a legal minimum tyre depth.

We are just in the process of moving all policies from the NFU to a block policy with Rural Insurance via a broker and have made a very significant saving in the process.

Where do we draw the line here though, what is the definition of nearly illegal ? They are there to enforce the law, not make it. The tyres were due to be changed anyway. A very bitter taste indeed. Sadly I have no faith what so ever in Essex police, they really are nothing but incompetent imo In our last incident it took them 30 minutes to get here, when they did the officers said "sorry we have taken so long to get here but our resources are so tight we have had to travel a fair way to get here" and that was at 2am in the morning. I have nothing wrong with what they are doing in theory but it is obviously being done at the expense of community policing, living and driving a lot in the county these types of checks are becoming scarily common, and the resources they use is shocking.

It's a shame they can't do some proper policing as well, easy pickings when they do those checks as the crime comes to them, but to catch thieves takes a bit more effort, something Essex police would rather not do anymore it appears, my £10k theft didn't even warrant an officer coming out because it wasn't enough value, it wasn't until I kicked up they decided they should probably sent someone out I am not knocking what they do with these checks, but they use huge amounts of police resources to do them and they do them without any thought to the complete traffic chaos they cause, the last one they done at Tollgate caused a partial blocking of the A12, creating a very dangerous situation, and it's all at a cost to community policing. They also appear to make the law up as they go, my mother in law was made to get 2 new tyres fitted locally on her van at one of these checks because the ones on it were nearly illegal, well nearly illegal means they were still legal.

I would say he is talking out of he's jacksie. I would think it highly unlikely snap on make the halfords socket sets, use of both would soon clear that up. The halfords sets do a job but are a mile away from snap on quality imo.
