We had 3 assessments, first one was yard based, vehicle checks, equipment checks, (lights, signs, cones in good order), then set out a site in the yard, put signs out, lights up, cone off, etc then take it all off in right order to show you know what your doing before the next `live` assessment out on the road. The next one we had to draw up a plan of the site and what signs and equipment was needed, check council streetwork paper work in place, make a loading list, check the vehicle again load up in the right order for unloading, go to the site set it all up, show how you would clean cones, and change battery's in the road lamps, then take it down again. The last one was the same idea as the last but instead of traffic lights it was set up for stop/go boards. This was for a sector scheme 12 (I think) modules T1 & T2 Multi phase lights are an other classroom day, and assessment.

Steve, I`ve just had 01682.

As treequip said, but the trailer socket is subject to test now, so as long as you didn't alter the wiring, keep the fog lights wired to the socket, not the reverse lights. Just thought I think its only 13 pin sockets that are tested.

Not got a wire less one myself, but know someone who had one to use on the back of the truck, then move it to the trailer when towed, it had a magnetic mounting, it worked but the picture was not as good/picked up interference when on the trailer. That was a few years ago so may be the technology has improved now.

You can get an adapter lead to reverse the image if you need to, plugs in between the end of the extension lead and the monitor. To the op, you won't regret fitting one. Depending on your work, if you go onto large construction sites, highway jobs, or other places with more h&s people than workers, many ask for rear view camera's.

I think this post might of made my mind up:thumbup: been thinking of getting a 390 and getting it `done`.

Get your maximum legal weight on the van checked on weight bridge, with the load evenly distributed or where it needs to be to get the axle weights right, and measure down from mud flats, or tow bar, or any fixed point on body work, front and back and you`ll have a rough reference point to repeat a maximum load.

Ref your tipper problem, harrier hydraulics/flowfit did have motors and pumps on offer not long ago, just an thought it might work out more cost effective?

Are you going to sell you self on ebay:001_tt2: Sorry:blushing:

Seen this myself, a ford galaxy (again) pulls up in layby opposite site, a eastern European gets out comes across and asks if he can have some timber, then calls across to car, an other chap and woman come back and they all carried the wood off back and to, to the car and filled every where they could in the car.

James Hart in Chorley are good for Leyland and DAF parts, Used Daf Trucks Spare Parts Commercial Vehicle Parts ? James Hart I`ve found them to be helpful, and have parts that DAF don't have in stock, if they didn't have anything maybe point you in right direction. Or may be give cabmasters a try. Cabmasters

I like this with my Kelly kettle, I`ve got the scout so I can get a few brews out of it and no need for extra water.

Brilliant work there. Did you put anything in the base to help buoyancy?
-
You could try http://www.woolacottgears.co.uk and see if they could make one for you.

A drum mower should work OK on 35hp, the only down side if it`s really wet, heavy, and knotted you still need to keep your forward speed to keep the material flowing through the machine, or the grass will try and wrap its self round the drums, only had it happen on a couple of times but that was on steep ground and unknown ground and not been touched for a number of years so going a bit cautious. But in most cases you would be ok.

Ty, if your stuck with this give me a shout on pm, I think I`m quite close to you from memory reading old posts. I`ve got both a flail and rotary topper, the flail take a fair bit of driving, but as others said mulches the cuttings more so not ideal for wild flower. If the grass is a bit longer the rotary should leave it in a swath, to help picking up.

An other vote for the Stanley food flask here as well. I`ve got one of the plastic type ones, empty the soup into it a few minutes in the microwave, then screw lid on, jobs a good one.

Manitou made a semi rough terrain fork lift, looked like a normal stacker truck but with bigger wheels some thing like 20" or 22.5" truck tyres, might be worth looking into if your yards not all tarmac or concrete.

I had some info a while back on the head chris sheppard said about early on in the thread, a stroke delimber with rollers turned by cables pulled by the stroke, no measuring on it, and little electrics other than diverter valves, a guillotine cutter, and crane mount or excavator mounting, I cant remember what capacity it would handle. I was looking just for a shear, but the info all came together, I thought while reading it looked a simple set up and would fit in as you said between hand cutting, and a full harvester head. Naarva Grip, I think was the make, and Riko supplier.

Is it cord wood? If so try Graham Edwards He's from Ruthin and has got a wagon and drag, I'll pm his number to you.

The street works card can be done in a day I think, but the 12d sector scheme will take longer if you want to get the card, for t1 & t2, basically the same as street works (part2?), a day of theory, a yard or depot assessment as they call it, a live assessment for stop/go, and a live assessment for 2 way lights, with the assessments taking between half a day to a day.

If its on the road up to 1m overhang nothing needed, 1m - 2m overhang clearly visible, 2m - 3.05m end marker, and side marker if over 3m. any more than that it will be getting a bit light on the drawbar. Off the road, chain it on and let it drag on the ground:laugh1:

I`ve got a 3.2 one, OK so far touch wood, looks big but parked it next to a 58 reg Nissan navara, it`s about the same footprint but about 9" taller, same again parked next to an 03 reg ranger about a foot longer and a bit wider, and a fair bit taller.

Just found the tread, its in the picture forum, by Beaver, called winch fitted to me transit. Don`t know how to do a link, sorry, but it show how he fitted it.
-
The was a post on here a while back, with pictures, of someone fitting a winch on the front of a transit. Just can`t remember who it was, or where it was posted.
