Eggs I have only just seen this. I have to appologise mate, I didn't realise it was you, I heard you say from Arbtalk but not who you were. I'm going to guess it was Matt B who cancelled ? If you want to do it yourself I am happy to run them over for you. Laying turf is a doddle, getting the ground ready is the worst part.

Only bought the impact wrench because i'm bloody sick and tired of trying to be a contortionist every time I have to change the meshes on the screener. It's turned a 2.5 - 3 hour job into a 30 - 40 minute job.

I had been thinking about getting a cordless grease gun for a while so ordered one today, I get fed up of greasing diggers every 10 hours so hopefully it won't be such a bind. Decided to go with the Milwaukee 18v, mainly because I can use the batteries from the impact wrench which made it quite a bit cheaper.

Called luck money because you will be bloody lucky if what you just bought is any good

Depends on the size of the body, most walking floor's we have in are about 80c/mtr so I would be suprised if you got a full load.

Bags are a nightmare Did you take off 40mm for the seams ? A 120 micon thick bag which most bags are has a stretch of about 15-20% but that is on soil, sand or ballast, not sure on logs. At best I would think you have 0.6 in the smaller ones and 0.7 in the bigger ones. We had all this getting the correct size bags for our topsoil, we now use thicker micron bags to limit stretch and a calibrated bucket to fill them.

Good and bad in all. In general most of the travellers/gypsy's I have traded with have been some of my most honest customers. One off the family members @eggsarascal was on about helped me when I started up on my own, even though it was in the same business as him, whilst every one else was pretty upset about another competitor. That particular member of the family is genuinely the hardest working man I have ever had the pleasure to meet.

The V8 landcruiser is quite economical apparently, especially compared to the straight 6 version.

I was going to buy the Iveco 4x4 but Iveco thought I was being unreasonable asking for a test drive, and there wasn't one available in the country. It's biggest downside was it's crap payload and known transfer box problems, but I could have lived with that.

If the tractor has a fuel solenoid then wire in to that, if it's an old tractor without a fuel solenoid you can fit and wire in a rack puller.

I wonder if anyone thought of following it with another drone with camera ? I would have hoped that was the first thing they tried.

Bit of artificial grass - if you like that sort of thing
scraggs replied to forestboy1978's topic in Landscaping
Yep plastic grass and plastic plants. How unbelievably good for the environment. -
I have always put a strap over log bags but I never strap soil bags on, waste of time imo as they aren't coming off the side, the only place they can go is forward in an accident and as it's loose and don't really settle well in the bags a strap won't stop them, in fact it just makes the soil come over the sides of the bags, it will stop when it hits the crane anyway

Never used them but 727 Truck parts in Colchester reline shoes

Firebricks - clay or vermiculite?
scraggs replied to aesmith's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
I replaced my Villager Chelsea firebricks with the Vermiculite bricks, the original clay bricks lasted 14 years the Vermiculite ones lasted just under 2 years. -
Just my opinion but if you are looking at buying new or newish steer away from VW. Build quality certainly isn't what it used to be. I have never really been that impressed with our new transporter 4motion and wouldn't touch another VW with a barge pole.
-
But the information in it is still relevant ?
-
Perhaps I missed something but could you point me in the direction of information on where this is out of date.

you need a copy of this Sorry for the poor quality vosa-ifor williams.pdf

Try Ed Jones at the point clinic colchester mate It will take ages (4-5 weeks) to get an appointment with him but he is excellent, he sorted out my shoulder which had got so bad I thought I was stuck with it for good and was struggling to work and sleep, and has helped sort lots of people I know. The Point Clinic If you call them make sure you tell them you only want to see Ed.
-
Have spoke to him before but don't know him as such, nice bit of room he has there though.

I had a revamp Colchester Turf
