Recently moved the battery platform in the truck to 18v Makita, lots of goodies about for the older version of this battery platform. A surprise is the small compressor, way quicker than my twin cylinder Tmax and I don’t have to go rummaging for a battery connection. Bob. pumped up both of these dumper tyres from flat in minutes and still showed a full charge on the battery.

This little spark plug tester is worthy of a mention, checks four at a time to 9000rpm. Need to leave out the spacers for the chainsaw plugs. Nice to know whether a plug is actually properly plucked when trouble shooting rather than change them just in case. Bob

A few pointers here Chipper bearings Bob

Nice work Stephen, thirty years ago all the old boys would bleat on about how tracks and trees didn’t work, how things have changed.🤙 Bob

LG and Sambron still out there doing their thing. Bob

It’s not that bad Ruben, I think the 4x4s are about £1500 a year for any driver with a U.K. license. It’s probably double what it was but I also added in sdp as well,is £750 extra pa too expensive when it’s the difference between a nipper working or not ? Bob

Worth talking to your broker, our fleetplan covers any driver with no age restriction and also added in sdp use just in case they get stopped driving outside of normal working hours. Bob

Don't tell these old log goblins that, at 80 they may not get a chance to burn it 😀 Bob

The medical is no big deal, I have had to do one every year since I reached 65 to retain my HGV, only expense is the medical itself which is £60-£100, the license gets renewed FOC. Bob

Euc is a bit slow, this would normally be gone within the hour. Bob

Still using Rye oils finest👍, Barrel lasts about six months, can’t say there is any noticeable difference between that and the more expensive brands. Bob

Curious to know how many hours folk work these days, in years gone by 3pm was a tea break before bashing on until 5.30-6pm. Seems to be packing up time these days. Bob

The problem with that is the whole shooting match exceeds the 3.5 ton limit which falls into olicense and tacho territory. To stay legal the answer is to run two transits with a mad busy driver on turnaround all day or get one lorry, the lorry soon starts to make more economical sense 😂 Bob

Only as a pointer for potential 7.5 tonner buyers, our truck has to be laden for its pmi’s. Level loaded with chip with about 200mm to spare is 9 cubic meters and puts the gross at 7 tons with driver, so in theory half a ton spare. Bob

Stefan, I think your get up and go has got up and gone. Take a break, it may return. Take care. Bob
