Festering Dosco , lost its newness a while ago and its having a nap:001_smile: Bob

Your not missing anything http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/lounge/85863-mugged-train.html Bob

I dont know but some of them cant fit anymore work in this side of Christmas. Bob

Some climbers work out of the boot of a car and charge £250 a day. No truck chipper or yard just the climbing gear and a saws. Its only as complicated as you want it to be. Bob

Feckit I have been rumbled Only because the nippers cant drive anything else, thats my excuse and I am sticking to it . Bob

And this is the problem with 3.5 ton tippers ( its not a dig at you Joel) , a chipper like that has an output of over six tons an hour which on some jobs could mean emptying the truck more than working Bob

Something between 7.5 and 44 ton gross Bob

The old 4.2 turbo is not LEZ compliant either. Something else that needs to be considered because other city`s around the UK are going to be LEZ`s as well. Bob

I cant bring myself to part with my disco commercial. If time permits its getting a makeover and shoved back on the road. Bob

Discovery and throw away the rear seats. Bob

A full time position for a cutter/groundy in the guildford area and two cutters needed near Witney ( Oxford ) for a two week period. CSCS needed on both. Bob

Nice truck Mick:thumbup1: The bit you lose in the rear seats you gain in the load space so its probably going to work out better as a work truck. Bob

lost the pic:blushing:

Another great gadget for bramble or whipy stuff up to 30mm is the Seppi flail that goes on a 360. It has the iron boot flails rather than the knives. Notice the lever on the variable displacement hydraulic motor , it can be tweeked to suit the flow on diggers in the 1-3 ton range. This one has just come back after clearing an overgrown 3 acre allotment. It has the advantage of starting at the top and working its way down which is handy if the brambles are 10` high Bob

Perzackly that. This guy does a demo on the difference. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhdxj_Da9H8[/ame] I bought ten of these off ebay and they are advertised as a worklamp but they are definitely a spot , they will get used as reversing or driving lights on the plant and I will get some proper work lights. Nothing more dangerous than loading plant on the lowloader in the dark in the dazzle of these cheapy spots Bob

I bough a big bag of mixed budgie seed and the birds wont touch the stuff. They only seem to bother with the fat balls. Bob

I done most of them Jon but it took more than an hour http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=192086&stc=1&d=1445765373

Your user name reminded me of a guy we knocked about with when we were kids called Harry the dog. He rode about for years on a dirt bike and the reg number was HTD 1 . We were in the cafe one day and he turned up on his bike,one of the lads asked him where he got the number, Harry just looked at him and said " motor factors it was a fiver":laugh1: Before the days of NPR and cameras on every street corner. Bob

Jon were you walking while trying to hold back a bad Indian curry and too much cizzer from the night before ? Bob

Is it this one ? http://www.renewables-map.co.uk/biomass.asp It seems the government has its work cut out if its going to meet the EU target on renewables, we are basically only half way to meeting targets of 2020. Bob

Some of these made me laugh. Bob As I age, I realize that: Old age is coming at a really bad time! I don't trip over things, I do random gravity checks! I don't need anger management. I need people to stop pissing me off! My people skills are just fine. It's my tolerance of idiots that needs work. The biggest lie I tell myself is "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it." I talk to myself because sometimes I need expert advice. Sometimes I roll my eyes out loud? When I was a child I thought nap time was punishment. Now it's like a mini vacation! The day the world runs out of wine is just too terrible to think about! I don't have gray hair. I have "wisdom highlights". I'm just very wise. I like my middle finger best because it always sticks up for me! I've lost my mind and I'm pretty sure my kids took it! Even duct tape can't fix stupid, but it can muffle the sound! Wouldn't it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes; come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller! Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet! If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would've put them on my knees. When the kids text me "plz" which is shorter than please. I text back "no" which is shorter than "yes". At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for. Chocolate comes from cocoa which is a tree, which makes it a plant, which means it's salad....Almost. Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can & the friends to post my bail when I finally snap and give me patience and give it to me NOW.

I dont know, when we do our insurance they ask what a particular vehicle is and we just tell them transit tipper, they seem to grasp what they are insuring. It may cause a problem if say the log book said box van and you had not done the change on the logbook with dvla. Bob

TCD I was thinking more in terms of the glut of chip in the south making its way north where it could be put to use without putting more trucks on the road. We live in crazy times:thumbdown: Bob

And here lays the problem, "logistics" . £15 a ton would only be for a relatively short haul. You cant start to haul chip the length and breadth of the country when its value is so low. The whole chip supply and demand chain would benefit if perhaps the rail companies could step in and transport this straight into the power stations. They are better placed for moving bulk around the country than trucks. Bob
