eG6z, Al always stutters after his sunday snort . b0D

We have both and on that distance I would go for the wheeled dumper. They are a lot faster and will manage ok on the sticky stuff. If its a quagmire the slower tracked dumper wins, they both have their place . High tip is useful. Bob

None other than Eg6z Designed and developed over many years by the technical team at Aspenarbs sandbag filling department. Patents pending. Bob Will be taking orders shortly

Kinnel its not a council job Eg6s its forestry . Sandbags filled with concrete , raked back and pinned. Sump on each end of the pipe and a steel grate on the inlet of the pipe to keep crap out , all the water is running over sandstone so pretty solid base to the ditches. . Sandbags wont be doing anything by the time the ground behind them consolidates . Bob

The lads renewed app 160 mts of these gurt 1mtr dia land drainage pipes under some roads and across a field. 6mts deep at the end so sandbagged/pinned up to about 3mts and raked the ground back on top. Also doing a bout a 100mts of bank reinstatement/retention around a lake with gabions And a 13mtrx10mtr factory extension base + sewage treatment plant. Having a bit of a run on these @eggsarascal this is the fifth one this year.

So this shim has tits, a chopper and does goblin Bob

Just needs one with a box of swanvesta`s Mick Whats left of todays pile after less than an hour.

Its really not a problem, you can register any plant and machinery to go on the road. I have seen registered road rollers, tracked excavators , tracked dumpers, wheeled dumpers, cranes and the list just goes on. The most important thing is safety, it really does need to steer and stop. Lights etc are not that important and for daytime use not obligatory but if you fit them they must work https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/daytime-running-lights/daytime-running-lights Bob

There is nothing to stop you registering one as an "ag machine" and trundling down the road with it. As with anything ag there are restrictions like no motorways, 360 flashing lights on dual carriageways and max speeds . I move one for a guy on occasion and they are a ballache on the low loader because of the height ( 16` all up on my setup) , journey needs planning a bit around bridges etc but thats nothing to the tree damage caused once you start beating your way down overgrown country lanes to a site . Bob

Unless Mrs Goblin is ordering you about .Poor old sod was really struggling with this, I did stop and ask him if he needed a hand and she replied " he can manage" poor chap was not even allowed to talk Bastards are getting fussy as well

Not found anyone better than windsor saws ( used to be called bandsaw services) , very helpful and nothing seems to be a problem for them https://winsorsawltd.business.site/ Bob

Jesus thats thin, I can remember when they were abut two inches thick (50mm for the kids) . If all the tree surgeons in your area did advertise in there Steve it would probably still be two inches thick Bob

Just been powdering my nose Mark, fixed it Bob

I think you can tell what a climber is all about by the time they have got their kit on and are standing at the bottom of a tree. There is an air of confidence about someone thats good at their job, its not to be confused with just being cocky. Bob

I have just bought four forty footers to poke in the corner of the yard, they seem to have a a coating on the inside which stops condensation, maybe all the newer containers are already done . I bought some granules that you mix in the paint that supposedly stops condensation, going to try it on my other containers and will report back. Forming a u shape with these so the two back ones are put down door to doors and the only way in is through roller shutter cut into the sides courtesy of Mick Dundee.

They are serviceable Catweazle, the circliips are on the inside of the uj. Bob

Petrol/diesel all starts off the same, the cheap gear is as refined and goes off to supermarkets etc . The likes of Shell and the other big players blend theirs with additives which is why they are dearer. The crap car killer stuff was just a mistake and I think the big boys have had similar problems in the past . Where the fuck is Jon from @Rye Oil Ltd `s when you need him ? Bob

I use this stuff in all the machines with tubeless tyres whether they have a puncture or not, if they go down with this gear in its normally because of a tear. Good insurance ? Bob

Mark I am sending this response to Bletchley Park to have it decoded , keep off the sauce Bob

Timber hauliers are nomadic feckers so best just have a phone around and see who has trucks in your area, they may well be from the north but available. Decent site access both ends and a reasonably short run should not set you back more than £400 a load. Net weights will depend on the truck/crane combo and the drivers porn stash in the cab. Bob

Bank holiday special treat for the Goblins, going well atm Some of Surrey`s finest logwood

You dont have to be the whole 20% dearer just because you are vat registered , in reality being vat registered is going to drop your overheads slightly because you will be claiming back on quite a large portion of your out goings. You would probably not be out of pocket if you only upped your prices by 10-15% and I doubt if you clients would even notice that. Bob

Bought a parts washer for the chainsaw shed the other day thats worth a mention, its a completely self contained mess free unit that works a bit like a blast cabinet. The degreaser/solvent lives in the tray underneath and is sucked up and blown over the parts to be cleaned, excess is filtered back into the tray underneath, there is a light inside and it also has a fan running to clear the mist . Very well made thought out bit of kit. You do need a compressor . There is a reason they have sold so many https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SwitZer-Benchtop-Enclosed-Parts-Washer-Cleaner-Workshop-Degreaser-Pump-Grey/201624176716?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Bob Its supposed to be bench top but the bench would need to quite low. Compressed air draws up the degreaser through this gun Reservoir pulls out on a slider and can easily be tipped out/swapped for water after degreasing to wash off with Light inside and fan at the back The fan I would recommend piping to an outside wall.

This little grinder has had a fair bit of use now and seems to be holding up well. A few design flaws that will need ironing out. Firstly the crap plasticy skirts do little or nothing to contain the grindings from escaping, they need changing for rubber and extending a little to stop the shite getting all over the pullstart and cooling vents, second thing is the flimsy belt guard which I dont thing will be long for this world. May add a few braces before it gets trashed. Other than that its all good and will probably invest in a Greenwheel for it. Bob
