I could enter my 6x6 iveco in that Bob

Al there is a humungous second hand engine parts supplier in that industrial estate behind twickenham rugby stadium, I would be very surprised if they never had all your bits on the shelf. They have had a recent name change but I cant remember what it is. Bob

And me but I am not quite right Thats the way I see it with a decent gmc 6.2 or 6.5 . Re the length you cant have it always , it will carry 4 +_times the weight of a transit so it can be a bit bigger. If it takes an extra couple of minutes to reverse into a job so what, its better than a two hour turn around to empty a truck with next to nothing on it. Bob

If a bit of cleverness was applied and it was fitted with 4 steering axles it would be ultra maneuverable , probably better than a 90 . A bit like a telehandler. Bob

Here you go for something different, an 8x8 landy. The axles are rated at 2ton each so in theory it should have just over 5 ton carrying capacity.

We had to remove a monster roadside oak for a developer and ended up with the entire tree hugging population of the adjacent housing estate trying to stop us , police turned up to try and calm it all down and by the time we started a TV crew turned up to film it. Made the news on southern tv:lol:. Often wondered how many trees were felled to accommodate the houses on the estate the huggers lived in. Bob

Is there no warranty or come back from the guy that sold it to you Al ? Bob

I have not read up on the latest towing laws but I am going to. A friend of mine moved a tractor and post knocker on his plant lorry the other day for fencing contractor. It had to go from Oxford to Crawley, the fencing guy followed in his transit and trailer with some materials on the back. Nothing leary looking about it but he was pulled by Vosa at Leatherhead at 9am , apparently they like transits and its 50% of what they now pull. Anyway they found it to be slightly overweight and a few small faults so it got a prohibition on it as well, they also nicked the driver for tacho infringements . My mate had to go back to the Vosa depot from Crawley and crane the trailer onto the back of his truck and take it to the job, we are now talking about 2pm. That was one expensive day. You really need to be on top of this and check what you can legally tow not only with your license but the vehicle, not all transits have the same towing capacity's/ train weights and some when loaded for business use fall into the tacho rules.

West of stonehenge they use kit like this. Bob http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=161906&stc=1&d=1406309799

Just bolted the two ms880`s back together that had been run on straight petrol. I think the old pistons are looking a tad second hand:thumbdown: Managed to rescue the bores with a light honing but really could do with a couple of new barrels to get them 100%. Bob

Kinell:biggrin: Bob

We have mulcher heads for excavators but you wont be doing much with a 3.5 ton machine. That is not enough machine for the job, you will need a ten ton plus machine to get the kind of hydraulic flow to power a head like that. The smaller ones will do it but you will be working it very hard. We have Seppi head with variable displacement motor for a small machine if you want to give it a bash. Bob

Are you sure you have the pumps pipes on the right way round? Bob

Bang on:thumbup1: Get your head down, trim up the outgoings and get on a mission. Short term hardship for a long term gain. Bob

The success of the application revolves around the impact of the nuisance factor. You need adequate parking Good sight lines on exit Not to impact on the environment Not hack off the neighbours Noise comes into it so you may be restricted in a built up area Parish council can stick their oar in so they need softening up Timing of the application can make a huge difference. Put the add in the paper at the start of the school holidays or the week before christmas ,folk are to busy to read the papers and stick the boot in and the council are short staffed. Bob

What about this ? http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=161204&stc=1&d=1405428254

Any cheap tools are cr@p. Brand new cheapy circlip pliers out of the yard tool box on the right that snapped the end off the first time I used them vs the workshop ones from Facom that I have had for thirty years old and still perfect. We wont mention the hour I spent trying to fish out the POS from the JD gearbox with a magnet. Bob

I dont drive as a profession so was going to give it a miss but in doing so would give up the acquired rights . That then means having to do all four parts of the drivers cpc and not just the 35 hours if I later decide to go for it. What a pain. Bob
