Are you aware if you insure a vehicle for "any driver" they class it as a 17 yr old with a drink driving conviction no NCB to cover themselves. found this out by accident when renewing all 3 of us were over 25!

Here's a picture of my old D90, ex B.T. Chassis Cab, had the body constructed by T G S Truck Bodies Bristol, together with a DEL Slim Jim Tail-lift with a "plant gate" useful for scraping the mud of your boots, 500kgs payload. I used this for garden maintenance , getting ride ons, 1 ton bags of grass clippings on and off etc the tail gate is on pins top and bottom, drops down as a tail lift or leave top pins secured and remove bottom pins to tip.

Jensen Wessex chipper fuel consumption
Sussex Groundie replied to Sussex Groundie's topic in Large equipment
Thanks guys for the info, think its 35hp, looks like its a Jerry can down the garage for some Red Diesel -
Hi guys, just been bought a s/h chipper by one of the Estates I look after, can anyone tell me the "average" litres per hr on diesel? I am guessing 1 Litre per hr but may be wrong. It's going to be working hard to start with clearing up the brash in a wood with 40+ Scots Pine trees that are on the floor. Cheers SG

The colour is wrong from the start, saw should match the chain guard scabbard, that one looks red/pink, mines just dusty

Interesting post this, I cut a lot of Leylandii, Privet, Yew, no Hawthorn though, over the years have used Shindaiwa (Pole), Tanaka (single sided), currently using a Stihl KM56 pole, carbon fibre extension with a Ryobi Expandit Hedge Cutter attachment, kept very sharp with a Dremel. This set up seems to work for me.

As I decided not to work today, herself is going to work on the Bus! Good info from my local bus company on roads in a 20 mile radius of me. Does your local bus company have the same thing where you are? I know for guys out in the countryside its not much help but I found it useful. Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company

I have used Postcrete in the past but got a slightly different mix from McVeigh Parker, they seem to use pea shingle with the concrete in a separate plastic bag, mixes up just the same but I find the mix fits tighter round the posts.

You might give Steve Wood a ring at Roywoodtransits.co.uk Reading based, used to look after mine very well, they also sell off the rental fleet from time to time.
