  1. run it on red do not put anything relating to "the removal of waste, arisings etc" in your quotes. If you are stopped, its your own chip for your use , from your stance you are not paying or being paid for its transport , so long as quotes etc do not state this. You have been paid for the tree work, (not the chipping or removal of waste) and you are having the chip / wood for your own personal use , its not being sold on. we got stopped a while since, with chipper on front of tractor and silage trailer full of chip on back by vosa. They could not prove either way if its haulage for reward or the arisings (not waste) were for our own use. As we stated in several letters to them that we were paid for dismantling the trees but chipped the brash to be used on our cattle tracks. Eventually no further action was taken and never heard a peep since. Its a huge black hole and has little to do with what the mog is registered as, just make sure you don't stitch yourself into the seam by charging for removal of waste as that becomes haulage. Carry on as you are until a definite answer can be clarified by the peps at VOSA. this may/ may not be the way to go about it as its only my opinion of a past experience. Im sure I will get crucified / corrected on here
  2. got 2x 06" plates, cant fault them. had dual mass changed to solid state clutch, Both have done over 100.000 miles and running sweet. with regards to refusing to start, we had one do it a while ago and turned out to be starter motor shorting internally and draining power from the fuel pump relay, thus resulting in nothing when turning key . put a new starter on it and all should be sweet, apparently if the pump does not get 12volts exact it will not fire, any short or power drawer will stop em starting
  3. hi there put up a 6ft stock fence as normal, then 2rows barbed wire on the top of the stock netting. Another row along the top of the posts, and a row or two on your side say halfway, 3quarters of the way up. also when its up, get a large tub of ep2 grease and stir in plenty of dog poo. paint the exterior of the fence and the post tops! if the wire doesnt stop them,greasy poo under fingernails will, and the reason for mixing it with grease, it sticks uber well to people and clothing also doesnt wash off the fence in the rain!
  4. give me a shout if you need inspiration.we built one last year from scrap works well, also currently building a processor.got pics if you need
  5. Hi Stephen, why are you so keen to get shut of the iveco 4x4? is it too pricey to run or are they not as good as they seem? Andi
  6. road noise is great, old women think they're about to be rear ended by a chieftain tank! that's whats the stereo is for isn't it ?
  7. yea theres a 10mm spacer between them rear wheels, looking at it im glad there is! mind you we had a full full chip box!
  8. Mark, These on mine are 205/70/16 and fit mint on standard tranny rims. See what u think Andi
  9. dependant on the response on here,it may become possible to have a picture of your favourite plank instead
  10. most definatly extra points for creativity
  11. we need more examples of arb planking then go from there, i reckon as a rule of thumb, keep yourself as horizontal as possible but you may use arms for balance / steadying yourself. more points for creativity can we have a sponser for a prize for best planking?
  12. body including head and legs to be as straight as possible,arms where you want. Mines a poor example as was highly uncomfortable ,lets see yours guys!
  13. We've had the lunge thread so now at work we have created the "plank" or "planking" thread. Show us your planking skills,keep it safe guys and make it creative I will start on a row of conny stumps!
  14. lunge thread or stilts thread..........couldnt decide
  15. DOH! I shall retire to the fridge for another beer now ive humiliated myself!

  17. company owner ,general dogsbody, climber, wood chipper operator, stump grinder operator, mechanic, procurement officer, accountant, customer services, digger operative, groundsman, .......................
  18. can I ask to see the rest of the tree!!, im torn between pop and ash! the bark looks too ridged to be ash as you say but the cut face doesn't look, fibrous enough to be pop
  19. I thought pop at 1st but then the grain doesn't look fluffy enough?
  20. definatly sounds "greener"for the enviroment with a genny chugging most of the day as opposed to a 2stroke saw running occasionally as you cut!
  21. might have some subbing work for you on a large job in Abergele. What tickets/ insurance do you hold if any? Always space for LO subbies if not. Cheers Andi
