It`s at the bottom of page 2, but its not of the tree that hedgesparrow was talking about when he started this thread, it was one Sussex groundie came across after reading the post.

Well done Steve, and well deserved, also to all the mod's and others who make arbtalk happen.:congrats::congrats:
-
I think the is a sticky about it on the top line of the forum.
-
I think Mr Bullman has changed the employment forum, so you can not reply to adverts.
-
I`ve seen them in the here in the UK, on tractor units with the crane on the unit rather than on the trailer.
-
I`ve heard the same over here in north wales, people having their stock robbed the day/night before the poultry sale in chelford auction.

Have to renew all NPTC units every 5 years
Craig. replied to lloyd g's topic in Training & education
Driver CPC? Being able to to the same course, eg first aid, five times to get the card. Going back to forestry/arb personally I think a log book idea like in construction plant would be a better way to go, you have to complete it and have signed off x hours for each category you hold. When it comes to renewal time you've got the prove of you skills and time working, an up to date h&s touch screen test and get a new 'ticket'. -
Agreed, and seeing a mobile number and a 0800 number has the same effect, I think.

I use NFU for mine, they do a type of fleet policy but they did`t offer it until I was pricing around a couple of years back, they looked at what I had insured end said they could offer £xx discount for having I think over 5? vehicles insured with them. (can`t remember the exact figures with out digging paper work out.)

Mostly husky, though a couple of stihl. Husqvarna first saw to be picked up. Mix of all uses, north wales.

An electric winch would work, may be a bit slow, but their not designed with a high duty cycle, ie winch up the bank, and stright back down to pull up again, and so on, it would get quite hot.

True, and as some one has said about looking like they need a pull, but holders of operator licence`s have a colour coded scale, to likelihood of finding a fault, as well. Their ocrs rating. The operators score comes up in the vosa car, off your number plate, a red is more likely to be stopped than an amber score, whicle is more likely to be stopped than a green.
-
Sorry to hear of your loss.
-
Thats fairly standard for them to ask about about the load, where you loaded it, where your going with it and so on, usally making notes as you tell them.
-
I`ve voted for 3, most of the time its free hand,some times knock a stump vice in, back in workshop in bench vice and file guide, or if its real bad electric bench grinder.
-
If your making some thing like the grab in the photo, and it`s a clearfell, how about getting a old trailer chassis and making a single bunk on it, cut and stack at the stump, load using the grab a bit time consuming loading only a few lenghts at a time, but unload quite quick, and should get a tidy stack roadside.
-
As some others have said, other makes might give you better value for money, but if your planning on restoring it the massey will have loads of parts available at a reasonable price. Other makes are getting more parts available all the time, but generally at a bit more cost. The easier to get parts, the easier to restore tractor,=price of base tractor goes up. I`ve got a mf135, its one of the most fuel efficent machines I`ve got. It took me about 10yrs to pull my finger out and restore it, once I had finished it, wished I had done it sooner.
-
It looks like its got external hydraulic spool valves, rather than just the single tapping off the top cover and using the lever on the quadrant to operate it.
-
In Scottf`s link above, It says about how petzl had contacted sherrilltree about the zig zag failure(about 3 days ago), have they contacted any of the dealers on here? As serious as it is or could be, I would of thought petzl would of made a statment either through their dealers by now, or on here or other forums, they know we`re here they promoted their prouducts in the news section.

And back out through a window glass!

The same as Steve, a gas hob/electric oven, it had to have different jets for propane, a 47kg bottle lasts over 12 months.
-
I`ve got a couple of them, a snap on one not sure on model but had it about 12 years and still seams OK, dont use it every day but keep it charged ready to go. also got a clark 12/24volt one, and thats OK as well, its about 3years old, again keeping it charged up. I was told as a rough guide the heavier they are, the better the battery. Also check the leads, as some have quite short leads, or thin with poor clamps. I would buy either of mine again depending, on the price snap on would want for one now.

You can get stop/go boards with the back covered so you can`t see the go from the other side, you just turn the plate in front of the backing, for that reason. Sorry bad description, I`ll try and find a link.
-
Forgot to put, road signs or not, it not normal to go crashing in to pedrestrians, thats right out of order.
-
You can stop traffic using red/red, not 100% on time allowed with out looking in book, as long as your signs are right as per chapter 8 regs, you can also use a STOP WORKS sign, its similar to a school lollipop again with the right signs. Did you notify your local council street works dept? as they could come and kick you off the road If you have not.
