Hi,

I had a brief look for threads but couldn't find what I was looking for,

I have an ally tipper bed with caged sides and want to board the sides up for signage to stop the chip flying through the mesh.

Is it grp board that is used for board?

Also looking at ally sheeting to bolt or rivet to it but I'm aware it will cost a lot more.

Can anyone recommend somewhere for both in the midlands? I'm in gloucestershire

I would preferably want it to be a full sheet to cover the entire side.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

can anyone recommend a good chipping container roof seal? The stuff on it is a rubbery paint seal that has cracked and started to leak, I've looked up what it's called and am I right in thinking is and elastomeric roof sealant??

If so would this do the job?

If anyone knows of a better product, and where I can buy it from would be appreciated,

Cheers

Hi, I am aware of the many threads on here debating the different pickups and 4x4s, but I wanted to know of anyone who has the experience of a Nissan nivara king(the newer shape) cab tipper, with chip box.

I currently run an ldv convoy and has been ok but is now costing quite a lot in repairs and not to mention the amount of welding. I'm sure it will rust itself to death in the next 6 months or so.

I know there is a fair difference in the holding capacity, but was looking for some experienced owners/users to advise me in some pros and cons.

Any big repair costs?

I have thought about compensating the loss of space by getting a ifor tipper too.

I spend most of the time on the road but most of our chip is unloaded on farm land, which has swayed me away from a purely front wheel drive van.

Would it be a bad idea to down size vehicle?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Not the best pic but saw this today, a hummingbird moth, was pretty cool

Out of interest, with larger amounts of tree work and management, how do people quote it?

By the day and do it on day rate and state this in the quote or price for an entire job?

If you price it by the day and provide a management schedule and duration, do people get an agreed contract signed to say they are to complete the entire schedule?

Or how do others do it?

Any info would be appreciated

Cheers

Just came across this, don't know if its been posted before, must say, it was unexpected!!

Hi all,

I'm trying to get better at identifying the types of fungi out there, so thought I'd share a few finds and what I have Id them to be.

I'm trying to log where I've found them and what they are so I can build up my own album which, in theory should held me learn.

So far......

Kretzschmaria deusta

Polyporus squamosus

Now I'm between perenniporia fraxinea and aurantiporus fissilis

So any one who can confirm any or all, would be much appreciated

Hi, just thought I'd add to the thread.

Just finished my open water padi last weekend. Did it in a cold freshwater quarry, not much to see apart from some minnows and great crested newts but still absolutely loved it.

I'm going to Croatia(split) the end of July and plan to do some diving there, nice clear and warmer water. Will be nice to wear a wetsuit instead of a dry suit.

I have looked at a few places online, just wandered if anyone has been there or recommend anything. Bearing in mind I can only dive to 18m at the moment.

Really looking forward to getting on the next dive, it feels very addictive!!

Is there a specific guide to the size of a tree that is to be replanted in replacement for a fell under D.D?

Cheers

Are you still looking for roof bars? Have 2 from our old 110?

Thanks for that, will message over my address.

Thanks for the other replies

It's the side that covers the chain and sprocket, something got dropped on it at some point and now has the chain bare.

Thanks for the replies

Thanks

Anyone have a spare ms026 side cover?

Anyone have a spare side cover for ms 026?

If you splice your own ropes, can a loler inspector pass it? Or will self spliced ropes be unfit for use if you arnt qualified?

Basically I'm looking to lean from someone who knows how to but I don't think they are technically qualified?

Obviously I'm not looking to practice on my ropes but if and when I get good at it can I use them?

Cheers

Thought I'd add a hungry tree, wouldn't want to be the one felling this in years to come, make a right old mess.

He doesn't charge for dumping, he mixes it into his muck heap from time to time and eventually spreads it. He just thought if it was worth doing as a byproduct.

I have been talking to a local farmer where we dump a couple of loads of wood chip, he mentioned about doing something with it, ie mulch and bag up in dumpy bags and sell when ready, or I mentioned getting it taken for biomass.

Which is more suitable?

We produce a small amount of chip each week depending on jobs and at the moment get rid where ever we can and where ever is closest. Is it worth taking it to the same place to put in a clamp and then load it up when we have enough? How long can the chip sit for before biomass companies won't take it. I know that it has to be clean and of good grade.

Or would it be better to keep it and turn it into mulch and sell?

If so, how is a better mulch made, do you mix in anything else?

Cheers for any feedback

Does anyone know if you spray glyphosate on ground elder, it won't damage bulbs recently planted for next season?

Today we were taking down an old ash stem, knackard chains on 200t and 440, purchase a 660 for the main trunk and fell, can't bring myself to go near after finding these items in the tree.
