  1. There are no reasonably priced land fill sites around here and you could not tack on the cost of them in your quote and still be competitive . I wont give chip,logwood or arbwaste any yard space . I have spent to many years double handling mountains of it. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=182446&stc=1&d=1432055349 Any cord goes here Any chip gets dumped here. Definitely no yard space for chip , poxy stuff. And the log goblins take all the Cr@p http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/80713-log-goblins.html Bob Dave the log and a few others take any hardwood.
  2. The few logs left over from the winter are being used out by the stables keeping the girlies warm when they are having a barby Bob
  3. I think you are right, its such a small amount as a contribution it should just be abolished and tacked onto income tax. That would be a fair few seats less being polished by arses. Bob
  4. The problem you will have with arb waste is that no one is going to let you pick through the pile and take the good just leaving the cr@p. You will probably have to be prepared to take it as it comes like this sort of thing..
  5. Except the Dodge would if the law allowed it pull a loaded trailer at over 100mph uphill. Bob
  6. I dont see whats wrong with the idea, A landy just towing a chipper is going to have to poke up with going away with one ton max on board. If a PTO chipper is mounted on the back and all the useful left over space utilised for tool storage it can with a pull out drawbar legally chip 2.5 ton into a tipping trailer. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=182396&stc=1&d=1431975372http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=182397&stc=1&d=1431975372
  7. A climber and two lads on the floor for the morning, Chip as little as possible, stack timber to one side of the drive, breeze by in the afternoon and lower the stick to the floor with the Hiab, load up sticks and leave a guy there for the afternoon having a tidy up. Fassand Pand , any more your quote will be laughed at around here unless your the only one looking at it. Bob If there is no rot through the middle of that stick it would go on the mill, other than that its on the firewood pile , its money either way.
  8. Sorry for the confusion, this is Henly on thames. Bob
  9. You could of shaved Adam:) Bob
  10. Stopped the traffic and had two guys on the pavement. Its the foot soldiers and cycle riders on the pavement that cause the problems not the traffic. Bob
  11. A job running in Henly I have a position for a digger driver and cutter for two months. Its a rake and burn job on a 15 ton machine with power rake. No construction industry tickets needed. Cutter needs to work along side machine with experience in forestry ops. Bob
  12. I like that:thumbup1: Its important to keep the weight off these trucks, the Ali boards make sense and look smart. Who supplies these boards and edgings? Bob
  13. Had to fell these two today. One Sycamore leaning back over a road and towards the railway also growing out of a really steep bank , also among the phone and overhead lines, also raining and blowing a hoolie , Great . The other a 100 foot Poplar with lean back and the wind in it next to a power line. No room for error so winched them over. In this winch we trust
  14. Import duty is applied to the Mill and all the associated costs getting it here. They look at the total invoice from the shipping company. It normally works out a £ to the $ for things shipped over from the states. So an item for $20k will end up roughly £20k by the time its at your door. If its not going to fill a container speak to a freight consolidator who will jockey your bits in a shared container, that will be a big saving. Bob
  15. A bit like this http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=182075&stc=1&d=1431555036 To avoid this http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=182076&stc=1&d=1431555126
  16. Form https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/209641/D888X1.pdf
  17. I need a five ton excavator and driver for two weeks in Caterham. Or just an operator will do with tickets. Bob
  18. Finishes on the 8th June, from that date on anyone needing to check out a drivers record or validate his licence needs to cough up £5 for the privilege . More kin paperwork More on it https://www.gov.uk/employing-people-to-drive Bob
  19. Working on a lake is more the reason to hire in a bunded bowser for the jobs duration. I doubt if your customer would appreciate even the smallest of spills near a lake.Play it safe. Bob
  20. Many of these Fords, Chevs and dodge trucks have cracked the million mile mark. They really are the nuts. https://social.ford.com/our-articles/trucks/f-350%20super%20duty/passing-the-million-mile-mark/ Couple Put 1.2 Million Miles On Family Truck In 7 Years Bob
  21. Have the traveling community been seen in Hastings? Where is #EdStone? The monumental question facing Labour after Miliband's departure - Telegraph
  22. The last set of tyres we had on our Hilux are too taller profile and have messed with the overall gearing. It was never a racing car before but this has really dulled it off. Its worth noting the od of the originals and stick with it. Bob
  23. Alas poor Yorick I knew him well Bob
  24. A friend of mine has something similar bolted down in the cab of his truck. 12 Volt One Cup Car / Van Coffee Maker - BestAutoBits.com Store Bob
