  1. Tricky Dicky deals with this side of things, I will find out tomorrow. Bob
  2. This makes more sense.We hire out kit to a trusted few and even that gets a bit of a beating , the upside is they are prepared to pay for the damage. Bob
  3. I think you could be forgiven for that one Mr Bear, MEWP`s and things like 20` road tow site huts can be very unstable trailers. I think it still comes down to weight distribution and the need to ballast as necessary, just having a draw bar on kit does not automatically make it fit for towing. Bob
  4. A load of old crap went yesterday and one of the Goblin haters has left a sign there. Today I had a guy at the gate inquiring about the free squirrels
  5. We have had the pleasure of a pair of swallows nesting above the stables in the yard for the last few years. Their latest batch of five , they normally stay here long enough to do another lot. My lump of wood across the beam has stopped us losing any, they used to fall out and get trod on by the horses.
  6. It all depends what the regen site is, if its regen growing through vegetation thats hiding old stumps and brash you could end up damaging kit. A 360 with mulching head is good if you can get one with a decent operator. Bob
  7. Bandsaw services in Windsor will sharpen anything. They even do our coldsaw blades . 01753 862029 Bob
  8. Commercial or domestic work? Bob
  9. Rye Oils do there own brand of super tacky and sexy:001_smile:
  10. Nearly Stubbs, great looking mini tractor but what is it? Bob
  11. Does this apply to a pallet Timon:confused1: it seems to be a favorite with the climbers that cop free rides up a tree on our telehandler Bob
  12. Dont beat yourself up over this, your truck /trailer choice are sound and there is nothing wrong with your driving. Just spend a little more time on load weight distribution and you will be fine. Bob
  13. I am glad both of you are ok , I would say the snaking ( trailer slapper) is most likely down to poor weight distribution on the trailer, too light on the drawbar. Bob
  14. I use a big bag of oddball ba nuts ( about 300 ) and some diesel for this, follow the intructions in the Vid. Bob. [ame] [/ame]
  15. A mate of mine is moving some trees for me with his rigid crane truck, its a bit of a beast with 28mts of reach. Can pick up a 13 ton digger close in and load it onto the bed. He is well versed with crane assisted take downs and has bolsters on the truck if you need sticks moved. Will work a 50 mile radius of Guildford, Sean on 07767806338 ( shameless plug ) Its also fitted with a jib winch which gives superior lowering control at close quarters.
  16. Thats an online thing Al, DVLA and vosa dont have very good links and if DVLA see an attempt to tax an hgv out of test it automatically goes into default mode and assumes its MOT exempt, it then changes the taxation class. Post office will sort it out if you have the green slip. Bob
  17. A lad I know with one of these trucks fitted with an arb body got pulled by vosa, his passenger ( one) had to get a cab home because with a few tools in the locker the front axle was over even though there was virtually nothing in the tipper. I would suggest a lwb and no locker for this reason. Bob
  18. They always show these augers drilling a small stump of a similar diameter to the stump itself. Can you imagine the grief it would be to keep plunging/centering that thing on a six foot plus stump with any degree of accuracy or even achieving the job at all. Bob
  19. His son Robert runs the show now, they still " own" a few sections of the Wey and some canals Just gone past my comfort zone and where I felt it being worthwhile Sunken 47ft Harborough Marine Canal boat | eBay Bob
  20. What a POS , an ordinary tracked grinder would eat that in minutes .The company also need to have a chat with their TM guys and I dont think Mrs Miggins will let that thing in her garden Bob
  21. Thats a hell of a transformation John Bob
  22. Sub chassis, crane mounts and twist locks are on. All things being equal the crane should be able to self load the three different bodies on as and when. Next week Mick`s fitting up the tipper gear and making the timber bolsters.
  23. Just checked and the furnace Cedar`s all gone, not bad going in three hours
  24. They are still at it, three loads of the finest conny gone in a few hours
  25. Diluted detol works a treat, nothing that bites will come anywhere near you. Keep some with you in a handyspray. Bob Edit: Dettol Liquid | Dettol
