Hopefully they pay but don't be scared off the legal option if you have a written contract to produce the product with pre agreed payment terms then you're halfway safe. If you have that and sent a cast iron set of terms and conditions to be considered as agreed when they agreed the main outline contract and they did so then you're laughing. In my opinion that is. Look at every website which says tick to agree terms and conditions, have you read them in detail ever? I bet not but they still apply if you tick.

This thread has me convinced that moving to France is fraught with many hazards but that the biggest danger is fellow expats in the slave trade! I think I will stay in the dearne valley! Oh yeah great news on your repair from Vermeer. Cracking service and great to know.

I've used best 4 hedges before. Don't do much planting so only used them once, good price, quick delivery. The beech I planted were cell grown and they seem to be doing alright in poor ground with no attention or weeding despite my instructions.

Got one it's three years old lovely little saw, alright for 40cc saw but it won't set the world on fire. If you need something a bit more nippy the 501sx is awesome!

Large Norwegian blue spruce needed for planting near Selby.
Daythe trees replied to Daythe trees's topic in General chat
Thanks all and yes I do mean picea pungens. Can't imagine a parrot would take kindly to being planted and watered even a deceased one, especially with our climate. -

Nope, but I will now. Cheers Felix. Anyone else got some wisdom? I found loads of mature sorbus, acer and betula varieties for sale. When it comes to any pine people want to sell a thousand plus as a Christmas tree plantation! Leylandi though you can get them in big sizes for pennies in bulk! -
As above I have an insurance job to conduct on a tree damaged by a car impact, it needs to be removed and replaced. Getting it down cleared up and ground out I've got nailed but finding a replacement taller than 40cm not so much! Anybody know of any specialist nurseries which could deliver a tree of this species to the Selby area. The tree coming down is seven metres (ish) in height and I need to replace as close as possible to this. According to the customer price is not an issue however I suspect I need to be realistic in this regard. Any help gratefully appreciated.

What starscream said, even if you only need the 26 and the van is out of site because you are in a back garden empty the van into the garden, right in the middle of the lawn where you can see it. If you have to park the van out of site and need stuff for an afternoon job but not the morning go back to the yard at lunch and swop kit. Pain in the arse but works for me. That and shed loads of chains, padlocks, wheel clamps etc.

My parents neighbours son just got done doing 70mph in a Peugeot boxer (or similar) he was doing 70 and should have been doing 60 on the m1 between leeds and Sheffield. Certainly made me drop my speed in the ranger and the transit! However my ranger is fitted with a tipper so not really an easy argument that it isn't commercial!

Hiring small chipper without plant hire insurance

In that case I think you're pretty stuffed unless you have a mate with a suitable machine you can hire/borrow on a you break it you bought it arrangement. -
Hiring small chipper without plant hire insurance
Daythe trees replied to karl1991's topic in General chat
Won't your insurer put hired in plant on for the value of the machine for a week? I've done that in the past, last time they didn't charge me maybe I was lucky and it was near renewal time! -
I suppose the only issue is that giving an employee c+e you've all but given them the gateway to hgv driving. Come the winter on the second week of climbing or dragging brash in the cold and wind whilst watching artics go past with nice warm cabs they may be more liable to switch career! But investing in someone's skill set always carries that risk I suppose.
-
You don't have to do c1 you can jump straight to c which as has been said let's you drive any weight rigid. My guess is the price difference will be negligible and then do c+e and you or your employee can drive anything. Means even if you don't run big trucks you can hire one for a massive job.

Thanks all, will call around in the morning and get it sorted.

Stefan fecks sake man! You're a long time dead and a short time alive, I know there's plenty of time to sleep when you are dead but why not enjoy some of the time you're alive! My tag line in the army used to be "boys there's plenty of time to sleep when you're dead" that was a joke to make the lads fight up near sangin. In the real world you seem to live by it though!
-
Read what I have written Stefan, working hard is admirable but there comes a point when you destroy yourself doing so. My old man calls me at two in the morning sometimes to ask if he can work in the morning and at sixty he's better than any young lad when I say yes.

My old man worked at goldthorpe colliery and was one off two out of four hundred to insist on a transfer rather than redundancy. He earnt a bloody fortune, for scale he aren't as a man per day paye what most of us charge for three men with chipper now and that was in the 80s! But he's fecked and cannot relax and ten years after working shifts is still on the shift pattern. He will never relax and will never enjoy himself he works or sleep, my mother is miserable as a result. Is that what you want? Hat of to you for working hard but think on.

I think Stefan that work has to be done and must be done. I happily go to work at six every morning and try to be done by seven in the evening and then spend an hour or so doing paperwork at the dining room table whilst the mrs cooks tea and we talk about our day during this hour. But Sunday is a proper day off and has to be for me otherwise why are we together if we don't enjoy time together? I have enough work on the books to work seven days and seven nights every week but surely at some point the human body or the kit needs to stop and be repaired? I've done it before where I've come from a day shift of my own and then showered eaten and gone for a nightshift doing pts. To what end?
-
Thanks wrsni, that's some solid advice. So that's Tuesday evening sorted, oil change take two!

Lincoln is fine Richard, only a short trip down the road. Pete who quoted that? I'd be delighted to get a recon box fitted for that price, may even consider driving it up to Teesside for that price. Pretty sure it's not the selectors just because of how it feels and that it pops out of gear when under load. As it tows my tracked chipper it's nearly always under load!
-
Cheers Mick, I'm clearly just being paranoid about that thread given my ability to trash threads! Maybe there is a competition we could enter or start for pro thread strippers like ourselves? Kind of like the bad mechanics wooden spoon comp? I think you're right drop it, pop washer on and re-fill. Bizarre that they don't fit as standard as the plug is marked with those little angled machine marks clearly intended to bite into a copper washer. Tight bloody manufacturers! What do they cost in bulk 10p each?
-
Sound mate cheers, mine has to keep running until the high sides are put on the transit so not overly concerned about condition as it will be getting reconditioned before getting fitted. But would love to have one before the end of next week. I'm in South Yorkshire, can organise a courier or get someone to collect it if not too far away.
-
Anybody got one? I may be in need of one as mines is err... Fecked! Happy to buy either a gearbox, complete drivetrain, or scrapper which has a gearbox. Pretty sure the Mazda is the same gearbox so would consider one of those. Or alternatively one abused supercab ranger tipper for sale with a wonderful gearbox, provides hours of fun sweating to get gears as trucks are bearing down on you at roundabouts! Not sure if this should be somewhere else on the forum, my apologies if it needs shifting.

Hi all, just changed the oil on my new tr6. Like a good boy I read the manual thoroughly, bought an oil filter and a high quality oil of a grade stated in the manual. When I took out the sump plug their wasn't a washer on it, does any one know if it should have one? Because it now has an oil leak and the sump plug is not cross threaded and is in firmly. I did sieve the oil when I poured it into the waste oil can and I hadn't dropped it in their, checked the area as the oil drained I hadn't dropped and it wasn't still seated on the sump. So there wasn't one in the first place and I'm not tightening that plug anymore because I am yorkshires champion thread stripper! I know the solution just drop the oil soon and put a copper crush washer in there, just intrigued whether others with the same engine have washers on the sump plug. Cheers

Unless he's done his day rate twice? Therefore as has been discussed it's a fixed price for work regardless of duration in one twenty four hour period, similar to pricing a job at a set price sometimes your done at twelve sometimes your still there at six.
