  1. Buy a place, its a pension plan . Bob
  2. Its the sort of thing you would have thought manufacturers would have come up with. Men in sheds Bob
  3. Also known as a Pie key I think. Bob
  4. Are you buying in timber or are you chipping/burning arb waste? Bob
  5. Wrong picture, its only a small hiab.
  6. Mr Huck is right but the 250kg they use up is worth it, there is an 031 on my ten tonner that punches well past its weight and what it wont lift on it can drag over the side. Bob
  7. With a centre punch and hammer you could try and peen the pinhole shut, failing that weld it up. Bob
  8. What have you broken now JB? Bob
  9. Near Guildford Surrey a permanent position here for two groundies that are prepared to muck in on landscape duties on occasion, a cutter for mainly forestry work and a machine driver ( 360) with FMOC or CITB certs. CV`s or details and contact numbers to [email protected] Att Richard Bob
  10. Could be an old yank wartime ex army truck axle, something like a Dodge. Bob 40`s Dodge
  11. Better paid and a lot more of them, the plants and labour will be a tiny fraction in the whole scheme. I would imagine there was a consultant involved along with the expense of many other pen pushing leeches. Makes my piss boil.Anger as 539 council bosses paid more than PM Theresa May Bob
  12. Need or want? There is a big ugly 200hp 24" Morbark WTC chipper here that I would recommission and put out on hire if there was enough interest. Currently festering in the corner of the yard. Bob
  13. I had to go into a vodafone shop a few years ago to sort out a few issues, I was asked this question. Wamafyaban? I had to ask this spotty kid to repeat the question several time before I gave up , I asked his colleague what this prick was trying to say and it transpired it was a security question, he wanted to know what month I was born. Turns out the white spotty one thinks he is a yardy. Bob
  14. Chris if you dont have a three phase supply get a diesel/petrol arc welding set for a few hundred quid and buy a remote wire feeder. Best of both worlds because you can then mobile stick and mig weld. Just plug the leads into the remote wire feeder from the welder and connect the gas, should do all you want. Wire feed is inside the unit, one on the right is for on site , left hand one wont do rain Bob
  15. Should have bought urlektric Tom Bob
  16. Hire before you buy and see how you get on, local dealers offerings would be the biggest deciding factor for me. I have Greenplant just up the road who bend over backwards to help so TW makes a lot of sense here, its not about choice for me but serviceability and a good dealer backup. They all go wrong so spares on your doorstep account for something. Bob
  17. Chris I would sooner spend the £500 on a quality secondhand machine ,as Tom suggests a decent Murex or if the budget would stretch to it get an Esab. Bob
  18. Accountancy , pension plan and advertising. Bob
  19. Dont worry too much Stubby, the billion flys on top of it will probably help hold the smell off Bob
  20. Is there a big breaker bar and 24mm socket in there JB Bob
  21. There is enough space between the chassis rails and tipper body for a tray, good for brooms, rakes and shovels. On one of our transits there was enough room between the tipper body and cab to hang shovels, rakes and brooms on a small bracket. The body also has a locker with doors each side running through the tipper body, enough room in there for saws, blowers and the rest of the kit. Easier than cutting a body down and less wasted space. Bob
  22. Never marry a spitter Arrived back here yesterday, busy little critters. Last batch.
  23. Dont worry Stubbs we can keep a secret Bob
  24. They are all in here Timon, yours may come under the registered charity. https://www.gov.uk/drivers-hours/exemptions-from-eu-law Bob
