Ten years is the maximum for hydraulic pipe but some manufactures of kit recommend changing at five years. Most mewp inspectors will condemn any chaffed or nicked pipes , pipe is lot cheaper than cleaning up the mess of a burst. Bob

We removed the trees pushing this wall over a few months ago and had to wait until now to get TM in place to remove wall and destump. Dozens of big stumps to dig out and 200mts of leaning/cracked wall ranging in height from four to six feet. Furious day but all done by 4pm, just grading and clean up tomorrow.

The answer e6G is to not use a standard tipper body that was designed to tip an evenly spread one ton payload ,fit greedyboards, ram the thing to the top way forward of the ram/tipping gear center with chip and expect it to tip Cranking up the pressure is one way of doing it but things like ram seals and pumps will suffer long term, fitting the tipping gear further forward would do it but then it would not go high enough to empty so its a complete redesign or crank up the pressure.

All our saws strimmers and blowers are stored in a shipping container and when you open the door you are hit with a powerful wave of petrol fumes, mentioned it on here before and no one seemed to think its a problem but I always tentatively turn on the light switch. Bob

Thats pretty much it, vehicles registererd in this category as " tower wagons" have to comply with the new regs. Ag registered vehicles are classified as " agricultural machines" which outside of this legislation , this will probably be on the hit list in years to come. The new plating laws will be in place for 40kph tractors/trailers soon. Bob

Needs to be ag registered to still be exempt or it will fall into the new legislation. http://www.cpclink.co.uk/30/mot-exemption-update/ Bob

How did the engine cop it John? Bob

There were rumours that drivers CPC would be dropped but I cant see it happening, its the only tool available to put the onus on the driver rather than the employer for vehicle checks, securing loads , drivers hours and a load of other vehicle related shite that would normally be thrown at the employer. Vosa wont want to see it go and international drivers will have to have it . https://www.rtitb.co.uk/news/driver-cpc-will-stay-post-brexit-say-experts Bob

Phil this is the reason just the paint code is no good https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b&tbm=isch&q=RAL+1003&chips=q:ral+1003,online_chips:1003+signal&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbiaXW8J7bAhUnLMAKHTOmApYQ4lYIJigA&biw=1600&bih=1043&dpr=1 Far better to take a bit if the unit down to a paint shop and they will match it.

Its hard to comment on this without more detail but would seem that interceptors and attenuation tanks would be the solution, that would give a degree of pollution control and slow release . I cant see car park run off being allowed directly into a watercourse being an option. Bob

I rate these, the wheels are a bit fragile but they really are a great bit of kit. I fitted chain to mine to convert it into a mini swipe. Bob

Its just a chipper Swampie but like any chucknduck chippers you have to feed them a little and often to give the fan a chance to clear. Does sound like you are getting the hang of it though so best of luck. Boat gets used a fair bit on stuff like this and those little chippers are a tad lighter than an rg35 Rayco,winch and clobber Bob

Kinellh e6G who signed that off ? Blunkett! boD

We use one of those chippers on whispy vegetation , sharp blades and mixing in a balance of wood/leafy material at the same time works well.

Apparently pulled over with an estate car and a rope, there was also an injury that needed hospital treatment Bob

My old fitted is back on the scene and he is a landy nerd, I doubt if I would have bothered with this but he is all over it like a rash and is keen to get it done. Mick Dundee threw a sicky so the fitter and I made up a jig to position /pick up on all the bolt holes of the original , prepped it all up and it only took me about twenty minutes to weld it, there was a fair bit of work to get the thing set up though and glad there was no bodywork in the way. Nerdy fitter pointed out that someone has fitted the shocks with the washer the wrong way around, apparently the chamfer should go on the inside to allow the bush to move or it can snap off the shock mount.

This according to the neighbour is the finished job

A Nottingham woman, (pictured below) lost her case at Nottingham Magistrates Court today when she tried to sue "NUH Queens Medical Centre" after her husband went in for an operation which she claimed left him unable to have sex with her afterwards. Mrs Minger of Bulwell, aged 67, said to reporters outside court this afternoon, "Me and me 'usband Fred 'ave 'ad bangin' sex for years till 'e went ta 'ospital and 'ad 'is operation, now 'e's not interested n' it's all down to them twats" ! The surgeon who performed the operation and attended court to give evidence said, "All we did was remove Fred's Cataracts"

Got the old rear crossmember off, twas very crispy The upside is the rest is completely rot free, trimmed the chassis back with a thin disc and wrapped the loom in some ceramic cloth. The new crossmember needed more than a tweek to get lined up, got there in the end but took a while. Not bad for a downhand mig weld While the wheels are off we are doing the rear bushes and brakes, for some strange reason the pads had dropped down and were eating through the brake discs.

Fair mix of 4x4`s here and most will top 30mpg if driven carefully, ragged or towing they are all sub 25mpg. Bob

The heat has not slowed the goblins down much, not seen any of them ( one of them is serious totty and gets assistance ) but they have shifted around a dozen loads this week Bob

Best 100ish HP tractor from the 90s era
aspenarb replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Large equipment
Six pot 3000 series Massey with speedshift and booster gear. Put over 15000 mulching hours on one of these and I dont think I have come across a tougher tractor. That 6pot phaser engine is also easy to tweek extra HP from. Bob -
Way to many factors determine chain life but one thing is for sure is they do have a service life and that if its got that rattle on start up it needs changing. Its not a big or expensive job and may well save you from a lot of grief/expense at a later date. Internet is rammed full of inaccurate shite and myths on these subjects, chains do stretch and tensioners do fail/wear irrespective of engine type, a lad that works here has just had a timing chain fail on a 60k from new BMW, apparently a common problem . Ignore a noisy chain at your peril Bob
