  2. Why not do like you originally wanted and use the fog light wire for the reverse and fit a simple switch to the back of the trailer to rob a live off the tail lights when you need fog. Bob
  3. Its weird that the most proficient guys in the trade are without tickets. I know a few that have been in the game since god was a boy and none have a piece of paper to their names. Bob
  4. Yep £1k to sort out a yd25 if it goes bang. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/arb-trucks/66110-knackered-navara.html Bob
  5. There are two very straight sticks of scots pine in the yard. 1 is 600mm dia and the other is 450mm, both are 30` long. Anyone interested ? Can load. Bob
  6. If you are referring to the 6 pot 5.7ltr ish units there is nothing in it. We have a Perkins Phaser in the tractor and a Cummins in the chipper and they are pretty much the same. Both knock out between 120/210hp depending on spec. Bob
  7. I dont think thats got a hope in hell of busting up a track . We have a Drott bulldozer with 6 rippers on the back and that struggles breaking up tracks . That weighs about 8 tons. That thing looks like its made for just hard soil. Bob

    I think I will retire and just rent out sections of my place, Its ultra secure with 5 land sharks prowling all night and I think it would house at least 20 of you:confused13:. Bob
  11. Are comparing like for like here on these policies. Are these cheap quotes for any driver and for commercial use + trailer with fully comp or just for named driver ? Also is there a massive excess? Bob
  12. +1 on that, made me feel queezy. Bob
  13. We have quite a lot of 4x4`s on our fleetplan insurance which cover any drivers , the policy does not exclude under 21`s but they rob us of about £1500 a pop for them each year. In theory thats the sort of figure you could expect to pay. Bob

  15. Guy the log has a few of these Chinky saw`s and to be honest they are not that bad, yes they are a lightweight but the way i see it is if they suit your needs go for it. The spares situation is really the only problem but watch this space because as soon as there is enough want for aftermarket spares someone will jump on the band wagon and supply them. Other than the pull start mechanism`s they seem to have held up well. Bob
  16. What do you reckon on turning up on site like this. Bob https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/cFb0nLCKypg?rel=0
  17. I reckon you are ok as is with the mill. Often wondered why the glider trailers were allowed on the road. A mill constructed on a trailer would be an indivisible load. Bob http://www.gliding.co.uk/forms/trailer-supplement.pdf
  18. I was wondering about the status of the mill once its all together. Is it not then a piece of plant and not a trailer anymore?? What defines something you tow as a trailer.? Bob
  19. Maybe go turntable. Land Rover Addict Forums Bob
  20. Deal is done thanks Catweazel. Bob
  21. We were offered one recently that guaranteed fuel at the national average and was accepted in motorway services . Thats not a bad deal if you spend all day on the motorways but still not as cheap as the local garages. Bob
  22. The trouble with this stuff is the guys soon clock on to how easy a decent machine makes life and they become workshy. They forget that sometimes it takes longer to get the kit to the job than it would to go oldschool and handball. Bob
  23. Consider this, take a transit and load 5 cubic meters of beech sticks on the back , then if the thing will pull away take it to vosa and ask them what it weighs:) will the timber weigh 1 ton or nearer 2.5 ton? Do you think they will let you drive it home ? Then multiply that by ten which is whats on the artic trailer I forgot to award the jockey wheel to someone Bob
  24. The om mog engine is bomb proof, the only failures we have had x3 with them is when the rad gets blocked with crud from the chipper and no one is in the cab to see whats going on with the engine temperature so they get cooked.Gear boxes are running all day every day, when you add up the miles then the pto hours I think they are pretty tough. Bob
  25. You lot have forgot to ask him if he needs one or just wants one, Bob
