All I have done on any of the 24v trucks we have is run a two core cable via a fuse to one battery . That will do everything 12v How steep was the hill and did the brakes pull you up ok at the bottom Bob

Just finished my third day and most of the class have slept through the entire course . I dont think the lad below was awake for an hour of it, another great idea brought to you by the EU Bob

I think snapon own most of the quality tool manufacturers , I swear by snapon for workshop use and dont have much else . Everything that has been worn out or broken has been replaced with no quibble by the mobile snapon guy who is in the area every week, one phone call and the man is here with the FREE replacement. How can you fault that ? Expensive yes, inferior not a chance. That said I would not buy it for the lads or put it the truck as a service set. Bob

GDG`in lightwater had their pile of chip spontaneously combust, the fire brigade were backwards and forwards for days. In the end they made him cover it with thousands of tons of dirt. Nightmare. Bob

I need to rebuild our 25hp grinder engine and wondered if anyone has used or can confirm the quality of this kit. Kohler Command Engine Rebuild Kit, for models CV25 AND CH25 | eBay Bob

The one on the left definitely controls the headlight aim, its used to adjust the beam depending on load on the back, park facing a wall and see if it works Bob

Tom that would fry my brain as would a turntable I struggle momentarily with a normal trailer after I jump out of the artic , I suppose its what you get used to. Bob

If you want some decent Tarps go into a biggish transport yard and have a chat with the fitters, when the curtainsiders get a bit tatty they get replaced leaving the old ones folded up in the yard . They are normally up for beer money. We have them covering up the hay , they are very heavy duty. Bob

I dont see the difference between disposing of green waste or compacted green waste. The stations charge by the weight, if your burning it there is no difference, if your fly tipping it will only need a smaller layby:confused1:. . The concept is a good one , there was a London tree outfit that used full sized dust carts with the timberwolfs behind . They could run all day with a five man crew without going back to the yard, I have also noticed there is a canter sized dustcart made now so that may be a bit less cumbersome. Bob

Our lads are rhodi bashing at the moment and they are using medium sized saws, if it gets a bit heavy going back one of these over it.

We keep horses and they are in fields with oak , conifer and sycamore all of which can poison a horse but we have never lost one. All the time there is plenty of grass I dont think you have a problem , its when they start foraging they start on things that will kill them. Horses die after eating 'poison' sycamore seeds that give them incurable illness | Mail Online Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List - Horse | ASPCA Lilandii conifer poisoning (please read) [Archive] - Horse and Hound Forums Massive rise in acorn poisoning in horses Bob

Great looking product, my only concern would be service and spares . You are never far from IW spares or backup here in the UK. Bob

Just by chance the grinding head turns 90 degrees so it can hollow grind or flat with the same wheel. The bed at the back also flips and is adjustable. Other than the round discs on the small greenmech chippers this old girl has done all our vermmeer, timberwolf , schliesling and morbark blades. Brilliant tool. Bob

We do our own on a converted mower blade grinder, its got coolant running on the blades as it grinds and it does them in pairs so they stay the same weight. Bob http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=163154&stc=1&d=1407794129

That Bahco set onfoot has got is better than the one I bought for the lads. I got them this one Bahco S410 Socket Set 41 Piece 1/4in & 1/2in Drive - BAHS410 and its missing to many sizes of socket.No 11,15,18,20,22 and its biggest is 24mm Worth checking the contents before you buy because this set is worse than useless.

If its a decent lump shove it into some property and get it let out, nothing beats that. Bob

Going back to to OP , I had one of these Teng sets in the back of the truck along with lots of other bigger stuff but it was this little set that did about 75% of the mobile repairs. TENG T3867 67 piece 3/8" DRIVE SOCKET SET (ratchet, sockets & spanners etc) 0058 | eBay Chuck that on top of a decent 1/2" drive socket set with a breaker bar and a decent roll of spanners and you will be 99% there. The box it came in fell apart after 15 years of constant use and now I can find little or nothing of what used to be in there. The box is really important for spotting whats missing at a glance. Bob

If you want a portable winch with some nuts that could winch all day you need to consider going hydraulic. It would be an easy job to make a mount up to strap it to a tree You could easily run one of the smaller winches off the portable hydraulic power packs and it could also be used on a hydraulic chainsaw if you were in the water. With a bit of ingenuity the bracket could be made so it clips to the front or back of a vehicle and then it would have more than one job.

There are a few different types of jaw ,the army have hook type. Trucks that come from the factory piped for air have big train weights so I suppose if you retrofit the air it will need the plate uprated. Like this renault truck renault truck - DoneDeal The 18 ton MAN 4x4 has a staggering 33ton train weight. http://www.man-bodybuilder.co.uk/specs/pdf/tgm/TGM%2018t%204x4%20Rigid.pdf http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=163002&stc=1&d=1407529525 http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=163003&stc=1&d=1407529525

Not touched on here is the train weight of these trucks. Even our little ten tonner has a train weight of eighteen tons , that's a payload of five ton and eight tons of trailer behind as long as it's piped for air. Peters truck would be a lot more than that. Bob

Top honcho here at Vosa test station this morning said no agricultural vehicles of any sort are allowed on the motorways unless they are granted a special permission, he said that if a unimog is plated,in test, registered and taxed HGV then yes, he also said that run commercially it would be subject to the new drivers cpc and an o`license laws . He never mentioned fuel but did say that agricultural vehicle`s are afforded many concessions but the use of motorways is not one of them. He also said a lot of Mogs run through Guildford station for test and they are all classified HGV. In his mind there are no grey area`s its one or the other. He also said Vosa at Swansea would confirm this so feel free to drop them a line. In my mind stick to the A and B roads and avoid stirring up a can of worms for yourself, if you were pulled by this guy you will be in the dock. Bob

So for about £20 a week over and above the running cost of a transit you can move ten times the amount in one journey. That makes the truck the equivalent of 200mpg if you are busy , you are also saving the cost of an extra driver and staff waiting for the truck to return , I dont know why you bother All for the sake of investing a few quid in a license Bob
