jackal bigger than the landy and shaped like a ship at bottom to stop ieds has a v8 engine in it and will go like stink 70 plus built at bovington and the midlands

the bottom end was the D22 yd 25 engine built in spain it had alloy shims and wrong bolts. plus the oil did not get to no 4 block due to oil ring closing up so dried out. and they go bang big time mine filled the cab with steam and smoke not nice cost for new engine 5k. apart from that bloody good truck goes were i want to go. and pulls like a train good on fuel. if i knew engine had been fixed then navara over a landy. mine is having a tipper fitted when i have raised the dosh so will be more useful than it is now

what navara D22 or D40. will let you know my veiws as i drive a d22

re aspen 4 stroke been using it in brushcutter checked oil on dipstick still like new. so must be better for engines. wish it would go down a bit as is expensive to use.

they had a ANGER managment guy on one show. and he ended up in the river. sad new even so it back on the history channel at present have it on record. waiting for heli loggers to come back on. heard swamp loggers was finished and not any new programmes being made. pity there was not some uk shows of the same vein

as found on HSE page Gas mains and service pipes should be designed and installed in accordance with the requirements of the Pipelines Safety Regulations 1996 (PSR). PSR does not specify how deep mains and services should be laid. However, the Regulations are supported by HSE guidance 'A guide to the Pipelines Safety Regulations 1996' and there is also a Health & Safety Commission [HSC] Approved Code of Practice and Guidance 'Design, construction and installation of gas service pipes'. These publications refer to the Institution of Gas Engineers' guidance 'IGE/TD/3 Distribution Mains' and 'IGE/TD/4: Gas services' which specify the minimum depth of cover which gas mains and services should be laid in order to minimise the risk of accidental third party damage. HSE expects mains and services to be laid at the depths specified in these publications unless other effective precautions are taken to minimise the risk of third party damage. A gas main should normally be laid with a minimum depth of cover of 750 mm in a road or verge and 600 mm in a footpath. A gas service pipe should normally be laid with a minimum depth of cover of 375 mm in private ground and 450 mm in footpaths and highways. trust this is of interest to all of you and do not get fobbed off being made to pay for there shoddy work not burying it to the depth it should be. makes me mad any private guy has to do it by the book as i had to for water and gas but ther own guys do what they want muppetts:mad1:

rubbish its down in black and white they have to bury them at a certain depth and abide by certain rules and regs if they decide not to follow spec and law then there fault not yours bugger if i would pay them anything take me to court judge would throw it out. will do some reading and report back what i can find

if you are going to dig near that pipeline get hold of a firm called fisher german. they look after the pipelines if they get any vibes the chopper will be up and will be there like a shot. have one run under my land can not do a thing without asking first and they have a chap watching me work. if using a digger cost nowt but you are safe. if you want phone no pm me and will let you have the number. pat gas lines have to be a min 18" should be laid on sand have a yellow tape round them to say gas and sand over top so if digging sand starts to apear. so you start to look carfuly for buried pipes. so if they try to bill you tell them to bury it properly. BT are very bad for this. allways laying theer lines in verges just under surface so have to watch when digging ditches out

what size tractor you got you can get very good paddock mower which run off the pto just google paddock mowers. and do them for compacts. the tow behinds work well can get normal mowers or finishing ones. but you pick up a good small pto one at a farm sale starting to come up now as the weather gets warmer.

i though you where going to use a axe to fell a tree or axe throwing not the tv programe. still it is getting late:blushing:

for you budding chain saw people hoe easy would it be to have this done or similar http://www.hampshiredown.org.uk/images/phocagallery/thumbs/phoca_thumb_l_srs09westlake.jpg be interested if it could be done.

colmen do good sleeping bags. if your looking at the carp game nash,fox, to name two in the carp world

its like any training you can be trained and do the exam and pass with flying colours. but not use any of them skills for maybe months. Arial bit different as you should be able to climb like a monkey. but it does come down to practicing rescues.so when god forbid its needed those whose job it is to do the rescue can rescue. also its fine doing a rescue but how many who have the ticket id finding someone with a lot of blood will be able to cope with the mess. and not faint up tree making two to rescue. not a nice sight. maybe thats something when doing the first aid side there should be more realistic makeup to see first hand. wife did the accident makeup and its was gory stuff. not for the squeamish.

greenlands insurance will do a good quote for you. re hiring out. get those who hire it to have in plant hire insurance if it gets nicked or damaged you can claim off there insurance. its a lot of money. and no matter what is written on agreement they will try and squeal out of paying. most hire firms with diggers will not let you hire with out in plant insurance, saves you money having to insure it whilst its out of your sight.

are they axles like on a trailer. so are stub axles. i would have thought the shaft is a permanent fixture. and it would be the bearings and such that can only be changed .if the axles are worn then it may be new stub axles. eg indespension. would bolt to chassis

as easy lift guy said they are nicking more than like to order. any stuff worth a bit will have been shipped other side of country or abroad. no help to you a small glimmer. you say you had 5 new saws. the firm you bought them from did they chip them with your id on. some of the new saws have chips which when you buy the dealer puts your details on againt saw. when it is serviced they know who saw it is and how much work it has done. its a glimmer but if they have. let police know there chipped. if these saws now are coming chipped should be a database like cesar if they do get nicked inform them its put out anyone taking a saw in to have something done gets flagged up may not ever go in a workshop. but may be picked up by police who can scan it. something got to be done. its out of control.

how come they have not been nicked for having all them people in a van made for two. never use big firms for doing things use local people get a good service. and not normaly cock up.got too many fingers in too many pies jack of all trades springs to mind master of none:thumbup:

be happy to quote to lay it for you so its then manageable with hedge trimmer

anyone got a phone no or website for cutting edge can not find them

what size bonker normal size that goes on a tractor would make the front end go down. as other post like to see it work and drive with it. maybe a compact one may work

well i have now been running the echo for nearly 4 weeks on aspen and longer i use aspen in saw it is getting better now just prime choke starts dies push choke in pull starts and runs even ideals on ground and fires up. with normal 2 stroke was a dog saw. will not go back to normal 2 stroke again. if i was to buy a few any dealers doing a better deal for bigger orders.

have sent you a pm

+1 if i do supply materials i put on 10 to 15% mark up for my time sourcing and collecting the stuff.

try a toro very good machines do a triple collector side discharge or mulching. so have it all plus a cleaning spout to clean deck. worth a look

if you can not secure a lifeline rope to other bank. then as other posts get inflatable buoyancy aids from a proper chandler. explain or better go in with what you are going to wear. have a C02 one so you can pull it to inflate so less bulky. was going on but then had a thought go and speak to the local fire and rescue water boys get there advice trained on this all the time. and not a bad idear have a inflatable rib with outboard down stream as a rescue craft. as for the trees other posts a small bit of tree in a river becomes a lot hevier . had a situation long time AGO unblocking a river line across river chap pulled on what was a small branch was a 6ft christmas tree it moved and pulled him off his feet luckily i grabbed his coat and hung on untill he let go of tree it shot down river coming up 200yrds down stream could of been him if i had not grabbed him and he let go. water has no freinds so be careful. go OTT with what you do to be safe
