In many cases this is where it all goes wrong, its not the job of a book keeper or an accountant to give tax advice. Proper tax consultants are worth their weight in gold. Bob -
Purpose made Richard, cost a fortune new but come up for grabs on occasion. I think I paid about £350 s/h for that one but its worth every penny. Truck wheels are off in seconds. Bob

It was a bit Al, but went 1"-3/4"drive , then 3/4"-1/2"drive ,then 1/2"- 3/8"drive and used the 3/8" drive 13mm socket Bob

Put a tube in it JB. The yard tool cart had a puncture the other day which had catastrophic consequences, so I went up the cafe:thumbup1: Got the dog with it and fitted shitenbrinny new solid ones.No more punctures

Location thats key eGg , £26k could be deemed a good or a bad wage depending where you are on the map. £150 a day is probably ok if you dont have a £500,000 mortgage, all your gear on the strap and a lease car/truck. Bob

Thats seriously mashed up Jeremy, whats it off? Bob

I think its a toned down a bit now Dave , a good friend of mine lived there for years and has since moved to Renishaw. He reckoned it was like living in the wild west ,if the pub landlord wanted you out his favourite saying was "pick a window your leaving". Bob:)

Good call Kevin , at least you wont need to be tooled up to survive the night:thumbup1: Bob

Its far worse than you think, JB has been smoking it about without wearing a chequered shirt Bob:)

Why not just buy a cheap torque multiplier and divide the torque by which ever ratio one you go for. This one is 16/1 so you could use you old torque wrench and would still have a handy tool to undo bigger stuff without going up to 3/4" drive gear. TORQUE MULTIPLIER 300N.M OUTPUT 17,19 &21MM SOCKETS 1:16 RATIO CASE 18A | eBay Just thoughts Bob

Its the way they are , as soon as the oil gets hot you have a different grinder. Direct or belt drive is far better imho but I dont think any one machine made fits all the applications. You were on a hiding for nothing with that grinder on those stumps, its way too small, a decent size machine would scoff these in minutes rather than hours. As a job you would need a range of machines from tiny to huge. Bob

Tom was it for the Alzheimer`s society and did you invoice it three times ? I think its all down to common courtesy and it shows willing. Bob

Bad news Jeremy. I spoke to the brother in law who is a Greek and he has translated those Hieroglyphics on the saw. Roughly translated it means take it back to the main dealer but take some lubricant with you. Bob
-
Nice old school properly engineered piece of kit you have there Jeremy:thumbup1: The landing leg was torn off the stump grinder, it was a bit short on range anyway so Mick Dundee knocked up an extended version with box section and a longer ram. No problem now Plate on the bottom. Jobs a goodun

Spark testing is a straight forward way to find out roughly what steel you are playing with. Try it , it works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_testing Bob

Who can build me an aluminum or steel chip box for my transit

JB did tell me what he spent on that body but I lost conciousness and fell over so cant remember Bob -
Our fabricator went on walkabout for a while but now he is back and doing catchup at one hell of a rate. The backlog of other work which includes a new fancy workshop is nearly done so some of these toys can be brought forward very soon. Bob Mick Dundee on the right our auzzie fabricator. Good while he can poke up with being here

Good trucks, worth taking a fitter with you if its one of the older ones for the reasons mentioned. Good tow barge and general workhorse, ours has had a £500 S/H gearbox and a clutch early on but other than that its given us years of trouble free service. Bob

As one of our lads found out a while back Stubbs. Al was only joking about the holes

I can work in sillymeters Bolam There is a sheet of inch thick road plate here that I have hacked into, if you would like a lump of that I will cut a bit off for you. Send a large stamped addressed envelope and I will post it off to you . Bob
-
These that have been stuffed into 200ltr pots seem quite happy, if they can be hacked like this and put into pots they must as gooseflight says be quite resilient. Just baby sitting these at the moment . Bob

Good going Hamdog, it looks like a bit of an obstacle course. Bob
-
I agree:thumbup1: Willy is 76, he is the first man in every morning and the last man out at night. He has only stopped climbing in the last few years and dropped back on the saw. Does anything and everything you throw at him, still gives the kids a run for their money Priceless

And a pos VM diesel engine , yum yum Bob

I have never really thought about tail lifts on tippers within this industry, it makes perfect sense when combined with arb trolleys or barrows. The down side on a 3.5 tonner I suppose is the loss of a bit more of the already poor payload. Bob
