We supply wood to a guy that sorts through it and delivers it to the kitchens of some posh hotels in London where they smoke all their own meats. The are very specific about what they want but its a weekly delivery all year. Bb

Gonna build me a tractor shed!(hopefully)
aspenarb replied to chris hennelly's topic in General chat
If you tried to get planning on this you are more than likely going to be refused. As above and to quote a phrase used by a friend "'Tiss Better to Beg for Forgiveness than to Ask for Permission" Bob -
Tackling large windblown stumps in tight gardens..
aspenarb replied to Suffolk-Matt's topic in General chat
We had a big inaccessible oak stump like this, all we did was stick a turfer on it and tear it out. Then put a loony on it to bust it down with a saw, sledge hammer and wedges , it still only took him a day which is not that bad. Bob -
Horrid little ivy clad fir tree that had come to rest on some lines. Got out there am because the tree was on a nasty bend on a busy cut through. TM nightmare. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=145668&http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=145669&stc=1&d=138926http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=145670&stc=1&d=13892685638411stc=1&d=1389268345

Also handy if you want to load and pull a trailer. Bob

We have a two wheel Aebi pedestrian tractor that has a froward facing PTO. The only attachment we have used on it is a 1mtr flail, the engine is a monster of a single cylinder petrol Kubota. They really are the muts nuts for scrambling around on banks and along fencelines. I will take a piccy of it. Bob

Do these things work 4 way? I was thinking of some of the crane and winching work we do these would be ideal especially if they are not obtrusive . Bob

I have a 110 he can buy cheap:001_tt2: L200 on BFG allterrains is as good as any 4X4. The old pig we have gets about really well but as said a trailer will bring most things to a stop. Bob

We have a few small vans and they all do 40 + mpg. The most comfy of them is the Peugeot partner , the Freelander td4 commercial is a good little van and the same again good on fuel. Bob

A landy 90 and l200 both with the best part of 300k . The poor old Foden has done a staggering 1.6 million miles , cant see that getting topped here. Bob

I think that most accidents are probably of trailers that are badly loaded or overloaded and not badly maintained.You see tank slappers involving trailers all the time and I have seen loads of caravans on their side over the years. Bob

Anything towed on the road already has to conform to construction and uses. It is plods job to find enforce, fine and impound dodgy trailers. I know what you are saying about some of the crud out there but we keep our trailers up together and if you count every thing towed as a trailer we will be having to MOT another 8 units per annum , sorry make that 10 if you include the lighting tower and traffic lights. Its just another tier of B/S we dont need, the stats in the report prove that the trailer test has made virtually no difference to accident rates in Germany. Bob

It does appear that the caravan club have been active and they have made quite big strides in abolishing the proposed trailer mot. Not set in stone but worth a read because they are probably the only body putting up a fight. Covers trailers up to 3500kg. MOTs for caravans - FAQs | Advice & Training | The Caravan Club Bob

Volkswagen Amorak or maybe something different!
aspenarb replied to WillTimberlake's topic in General chat
I can vouch for the Ranger,Hilux and mitzi because we run them and by and large they are all good with the Mitzy being the most car like, there is VW Amorak that belongs to one of the horsey brigade in the yard and I was having a really good look at it. Its very plasticky for one thing and the steel panels are painfully thin, as nice as it looks I dont think it would last long in the hands of our lot. Bob -
On the back of the 6x6 magdeutz I have kept the slew rams of the crane below the height of the bearers so the timber can pass over the top. Also put all the controls etc under a plate that is also lower. Bob

This will probably end up being a long and drawn out blamefest. That tree should have been highlighted in the original planning application , the arb consultant working for the developer should have given clear instruction for the tree to have root zone protection fencing erected in part around that section of the site. This is normally checked on by the council and arb consultants but seems in your case to have been overlooked, as far as damage to the tree goes for the best will in the world its going to be a case of time will tell. Chopping of roots is not ideal but happens all the time with fencers and service layers with little or nothing said. Bob

I was behind this truck the other day and it looks the nuts which is more than I can say about your cycle rack Jonny Bob

This is out of date but worth a read. timber sales news Bob

I was thinking more in terms of the value of the stick to the carver, this guy can possibly get his £60 a ton for his timber without touching it. I just thought that going through the hassle of dropping the tree, trimming it out etc must be worth a little over the top of saw log. Bob

This crowd have a depot near here. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=145012&stc=1&d=1388688690

Some hardwoods have been selling at auction for over £60 a ton standing so that stick must be worth £150 to the Carver I would have thought, that would be subject to it being sound. Bob
