  2. ive got some chunkys on my mk6 crew cab tipper kingpin highlander 205/75/16 u will need to fab some rear wheel spacers to stop scrub when loaded.they are an incredibly aggressive diamond tread,noisey but they grip!!!!!!!!!!
  3. hi there,relativly new on arb talk and just seeing how many of you chaps are local to me? Andi
  4. hi there and thanks for the friend request.ive been past your place a few times on the A54 :) u might of seen my truck around as i live in Alderley Edge and the Mrs lives in Biddulph,its a mk6 tranny tipper in black and white :)

  5. we would move it with telehandler and grab,carefully!!!! we did a lyme tree yonks ago between two headstones,literallly logged it down one ring at a time,biggest job was tidying all the sawdust up between the headstones....no matter which way you tried to blow it,the spirits took it everywhere but!!!
  6. blowing a gale here in Cheshire,not much stuff down,phone not ringing is it just me quiet this Jan?
  7. Our yard Herb Garden & Nursery Birtles Lane SK10 4RY Cheshire Chip & Logs-FOC Dirty waste-£10.00/load
  8. has anyone been out and about busy today? its been bloody windy but had no phone calls. dragged shopping by the mrs................ logs to deliver but thats it
  9. but dont write waste disposal-£££ on your invoice or you will be spanked by VOSA for hire reward!!!!LOLOL
  10. 330mm zubat for me compact and unobstructive when on your harness also have one of those iccle folding silki pocket saws,ace as it fits mint in your forestwear pocket!!!
  11. we run a transit crew cab tipper with a removable chip box.find it incredibly versatile,the chip box has 3x worklights,2xrear beacons and a reverse camera built into it,all this simply unplugs via a 7pin trailer plug from the headboard.removable in seconds which allows us to put the compact tractor/timber/larger items onto the original body. a chap i know runs 7.5tonne dafs, done a few days for him and i prefer our transit tbh,quite often he cannot get into the smaller domestic jobs with the trucks due to their size weight on driveways etc so you end up lugging crap further thus creating more mess and adding time to the job ,plus his o license,checks,limited drivers due to license etc etc.becomes awkward we find the transit good in most conditions with the all terrain tyres,if it gets too wet then we revert to the tractor and trailer. i now hear that the dafs are up for sale as he is downsizing to trannys,due to increased operating costs,and a general downturn in work. both 7.5 and 3.5 have their pros and cons but if you need the additional capacity,can afford the o license and downtime with checks etc etc then go larger,but if not stick with what you know,more trips but less mither
  12. my 150 did exactly the same last week,bearings went and all the fins ended up in the chip box.Lucky noone was hurt bearings have gone twice in ours over past 18months,been told by gunn JCB the flywheel is warped by some numpty (previous owner) belting 7 shades out of it which has left it inbalanced,hence repeated bearing disasters. spent alot on her now including new flywheel,fins,bearings anvils,carriers,shaft etc etc.Hope it does the trick
  13. I think its ridiculous all these trailer laws weights etc etc im 24 and without my trailer license i can only legally tow my TW 150dhb behind the tipper. but i can jump on the tractor and dump trailer and legally weigh 24tonnes gross on the public highway on my PLG license?!!red diesel,no mot and tax exempt??!!! its ridiculous ,and being self employed with just one full time employee is financially hard on us small boys
  14. Hi im Andrew and im new on here.Please bear with me if i type in the wrong topic pages as evolution is slow to catch on with me and internet. Cuts and climbing..... No major ones fortunatly Mainly jumping silky cuts that take days to heal ive cut my leg with climbing saw once in the past which required stiches and glue not too serious but looked awsome! cut my phone with 200t once when it was in the rear leg pouch on forest wear pants!!that was amusing to explain to phone insurance dudes.lol My pet hate is sharpening saws,as soon as you've taken glove off for a brew,u start sharpening again,forget the glove,SLIP and bang to the bone on your knuckle!! repeat offender for this.lol.
