  1. You need to price it as you see fit and hope for the best, There are teams on here that would smash that out and be playing pocket billiards by two in the afternoon. Bob

    Trailers

    If I were you Bird I would chuck your money at the trailer test, these unbraked single axle under 750kg trailers are not really up to much. They are generally built as light as possible and on a tight budget, horrid things bouncing about all over the place:thumbdown: Bob

    Yep http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=200017&stc=1&d=1456677331
  7. Too right, Scania are torturing a friend of mine to death as we speak. They dont use lube either, they let you have it as it is Bob
  8. Thats more like it Pete, I can feel a trip ooop norf coming on Bob
  9. I hate battery nut guns, they are either flat when you go to get them or they go flat before you finished. Go air or petrol, air is ok if you have a decent compressor but even then you will find yourself waiting for it to build up if there is lots to do. Just one more thing and thats the torque rating, that gun in the red case produces more torque than the two larger air guns so all is not what it seems. Petrol is the dobermans danglers for truck wheel nuts Or just get a drizzle cake
  10. Very nice Wainy, two nice bits of back saving kit there. Bob
  11. Dont forget the reversing box for the pto if the chipper has not got it already fitted. Bob
  12. Wrong Mark, I have never eaten a Yorkie bar Bob

  15. For the budding ticket harvester there is always this HSE Winch Management | LANTRA Courses | Driver Training | Training Expertise Bob
  16. Chainsaws with radio`s fitted? how long have they been about ? Bob:)
  17. The gap is not what it seems, the roller knife tips dont stay in synch because the rollers motors are piped on a common feed and return. The gap looks big when a knife tip say on the top roller is pointing at a flat of a knife on the bottom roller. If you were to get the knives on the top and bottom rollers to run tip to tip the gap would be small but they dont stay in synch. As Simonm points out they do wear . Bob
  18. Now that is a neat idea and good value. +1 on the Anderson couplings but its worth going for the 350amp version if you are using them on a winch. Its also worth the extra for the handles, its so much easier to plug/unplug the critters when wet or icy. Its also worth putting them up out of the way of road grit and crap or get the rubber protective covers for them. Bob
  19. The spring should be pushing down on a ball bearing or a plunger ( detent) Gray. There is a notch in the shaft that it pushes into to keep the shaft in its selected position. Bob

  21. Not mine but found a nest of them in a barn on a job. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=199666&stc=1&d=1456236090 http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=199667&stc=1&d=1456236090http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=199669&stc=1&d=1456236090php?attachmentid=199668&stc=1&d=1456236090

    Ploggs .

    I must say I did not enjoy the witch-hunt at the end, I feel those closer to Jon should have perhaps advised him to calm things down a little. Tiz sad but some of the points raised were valid. Bob
  23. An interesting aside to expenses is how cheaply you can run a second or third team once you are set up . If you have a yard,plant,trucks,insurance,advertising and office to run for a one team outfit a second team can share or ease the burden,the onus of earnings per man are significantly less. The extra truck, chipper ,kit and wages do not add much to the overall annual expenses when you consider the potential doubling of turnover. All providing you have the work of course. Bob
  24. Yes and that would be a job well done Gary. I dont think I would take it any further. Bob
  25. Sat on its bellyplates
