  1. You wont need any help with a restricted license, all the info is in the pack and its all pretty straight forward. Gets a bit more involved with a standard national or standard international. Bob
  2. I removed all of the mower fixtures and made an adjustable platform to bolt the blades down onto, its got a sweep of around four feet so you can bolt in multiples of blades at a time. I will dig out some snaps of it. Bob
  3. DVSA were making noises a few years ago about new legislation regarding cargo nets/tarps on loose loads. Enclosing a tipper may not be a bad shout, only problem I can see would be the swirling of chip when blowing into a closed off box body, could get messy. Bob
  4. Big balanced trailers behind Mogs are horrendous and painfully slow, better off with a truck. Bob
  5. Cant see what they think they are gaining out of this, they will become net losers with firms declaring all non commercial vehicles as pool cars. Its just an excuse to employ an extra platoon of chair polishing parasites to gnaw away at the cabbage of life,this country is drowning in bullshit. Bob
  6. As said a fag paper clearance, worth taking into consideration a tad of float on the rotor shaft bearings or bearing housings. There can be a small amount of wear in the bearings and or the bearing housing which will let the rotor walk, I always load the shaft towards the anvil when doing the clearances. Bob
  7. https://www.ate-uk.com/products/750kg-unbraked-rubber-suspension-axle-for-timberwolf-chipper.html
  8. No, recent years. Speedbumps/humps around here kill the chipper axles, the bumps are worse because the trucks straddle them but the chipper gets launched, the meatheads behind the wheel don't often spare a thought for the chipper. Also worth noting there were two axles made for the timberwolf and they don't interchange. Bob
  9. The last unbraked axle I bought for a 150 was £350 and that was from Greenplant. Bob
  10. A stretched dumper makes a fair mini forwarder, weight over driven wheels and very compact. Bob
  11. We used to run a 10 tonner about for the smaller kit, that had a six ton payload and the truck itself was no bigger than a 7.5 tonner. Bob
  12. I think you can just about legally tow a 2.7/2.8 ton excavator on a something like an IW plant trailer behind a 4x4 or Transit, buckets etc would have to go on the truck and you would have to edge the digger forward a tad so as to have about 100kgs nose weight on the tow hitch.Should be about 100kgs light if you were put over a weighbridge. Bob
  13. I don't remember a single time when we have had to deal with a customers insurance company, removal costs and provisos go direct to the client, the bun fight with the insurance company is theirs. Bob
  14. Stop and let someone else go in first, use that dipstick as a dipstick. Bob

    Yep! Cost of the ULEZ/LEZ system was always going to have diminishing returns, with folk slowly shifting to compliant vehicles it will get to a point when the returns are so low the same tech will transfer to pay per mile.The motorist will always be a cash cow no matter who runs the show. Bob
