  1. We used to screen quite a bit of soil years ago with a fairly large setup. To do the job properly involves quite a bit of investment, flat deck screens are ok but trommel screens do a much better job especially when its damp but are in a different price league. Another huge problem is supply of good soil to put over the screen, where are you going to get it from, most muck away firms now have their own screens so you may struggle to get a supply of half decent material, you will get plenty of rubbish though We got out of it when testing started to become a requirement, but as stated above you need to get every so many hundreds of tons tested. We now buy all our screened in, we do not accept any recycled product in what we buy, far less hassle for us as all the testing is dealt with and apart from the very odd load we get consistent quality.
  2. If you don't want to do it yourself then try here If you do want to do it yourself there are plenty of wiring diagrams out on the net and Beals will have most of the necesary stuff you need, their website is rubbish request a catalogue to get the full range.
  3. Err I think not GPRS machine is £25 a month, merchant fee is £10 a month, the £10 a month is wiped of towards any charges. I curently pay 1.25% on credit cards and I think it's 12p per debit card transaction with no percentage fee on debit cards.
  4. KMR bodies are just up the road in hadleigh but as treequip said have a go yourself, service metals are very helpfull, and they are easy enough to make.
  5. That looks nice and tidy
  6. We normally use dinitrol cavity wax and then cover that with dinitrol black underbody wax. Sticks really well and lasts. But as said above give it a good wash down first Try get some on the underside of the seat boxes and bulkhead aswell
  7. Jees this beer is strong stuff Meant to read We no longer take cheques, mostly credit card with a few bacs
  8. We no take take cheques, mostly credit card with a few bacs
  9. Personally I think they look unprofessional, We use a proper GPRS unit and is far more accepted method imo Edit: and don't pay anywhere near that percentage, although we have a monthly machine charge
  10. I have been thinking about putting a low lift forklift on one of these to use to unload the truck and trailer, they look like a very useful bit of kit and far more useful than the crane as we can put pallets exactly where they are needed.
  11. It can be a money pit, generally they promise the world and no one can guarantee you will get top, depends how good your competition is. What has the site been made with ?
  12. They know how to charge for it aswell
  13. You still got that JBM then Dean Hope you are well ?
  14. Don't bother removing the old turf, rotavate it in, you put goodness back into the soil and save a boatload of time and money removing it when it really isn't necessary Generally no need to spray either unless it's infested with weeds, and even then if you rotavate it properly there is no need to spray. Several passes with a decent rotavator, then level, raking out any large bits of old lawn the rotavator didn't break up, then roll, then a final rake and then lay your turf off boards (unless using big rolls). Depending where you are we supply both standard sized rolls and big roll turf (shameful plug) Edit: you might want to spray it off if replacing with ornamental turf
  15. Well after the last batch of thefts I have decided I need to take the batteries home every night, the first idea I had was to put battery boxes on the front of the machines and anderson connectors on the tractor and batteries so we could quickly disconnect them and take them home, but I really don't want to be lugging big batteries about twice a day. So a better idea might be, I have a lot of room under the new landy body and was thinking about putting two 644 batteries under there, and again use anderson connectors. I am not really that clued up on working out what cables and connectors I would need amperage wise, so would like some advise if anyone can help, I know I will still need a battery on each machine or the alternator will be ruined, but how small a battery can I get away witt ? ideally small enough to hide away would be good. I can remove the batteries under the seat on the landy and use the 644's to start it, and then they will always be charged aswell. Any opinions please ?
  16. I replaced the Loncin on my crane trailer with a new honda, I could have bought 2 new Loncin's for the price of the Honda and I wish I had as the Honda has run like a bag of poo from new.
  17. Call me cynical but I hope you know the history and owner of the trailer. A missing wander lead would make me wonder if it's a stolen trailer, if it's one of the earlier removable leads. Sad but that's the way my mind works now
  18. It gets you like that, but give it a few weeks and you will look at it in a bit of a different light, it will still grind with you but don't let them get the better of you. Every time I see posts like this it me off, I still feel there is a large proportion of this theft could be eradicated if the manufacturers and dealers wanted to, but it's not in their interest.
  19. feel for you Matty, been there too many times myself, I hope you get it back but the reality is that's likely the last you will see of it. Hope the insurance pays out without messing about.
  20. A new lawn for a complete bungalow re-decorate A new lawn for a heating system install And many others Can't beat doing trades
  21. Please say you didn't use a britpart waterpump ? They are notorious for not lasting, some as short as 2 weeks. Parts like that it pays to use genuine oem for the 300tdi it's a QH iirc
  22. That's excellent Have always wanted to build one of those myself.
  23. You wouldn't have a link would you please? I can't find anything except replacement tracker batteries when I search Sounds like an excellent idea
  24. Finally got it home Look forward to some decent days and getting it out now
