I’ve used a few tracked MEWP Teupen about the best but more often than not we find we can get our 3.5 and 7.5 ton truck mounts in on roadway if necessary or reach over obstacles. faster set up times ,much more stable and more outreach so bigger drop zone.Truck mount wise Ruthmann are ahead of the game .

Possibly not for much longer people might be looking to source all goods a little closer to home . MC wise I have 3 wood burners all working well on barn stored air dried the same as I supply with no issues . Its the crap that’s supplied at the garages that wet and rubbish.

I think if you add in all the emissions involved in transportation from Lithuania you may well have a low MC but a significant green footprint. it seems crazy to me to transport firewood so far.

I burn cedar regularly it burns hot and clean and dries quickly when split . no problems at all with flues I have 3 wood burners with no build up of residue. it also smells fantastic in the log basket.

Have a word with Steve Spinks or Dean should know about it ,I never suggested you would but I’ve seen it done on our ZT and 915 ?

We have a 2 year old ZT and received a cutter wheel belt tensioner update kit which you can get fitted yourself or pay global to fit. It involves cutting and grinding to fit the tensioner but no welding we also received a new belt. we like you have carried on grinding when the belt was slipping to get done ,I think the most important thing is to engage the cutter wheel at low revs .

Sorry might have misunderstood the airbag kit was £800 +vat fitted.

Not at all ,we’ve had the hilux for 18 months now it was a demonstration unit built for Toyota and is the wide body chassis version.It had 400 miles on the clock. we had the sides extended and a part folding roof fitted as we deliver logs and mulch . it was £22500 +vat . i think the hilux is a great truck to drive ,very comfortable.

We got an airbag suspension upgrade fitted by air ride near Reepham. works well and can adjust the airbags from an airline . This will allow us to uprate the GVW of the truck if we want to. The hilux looks happy loaded ! The truck rides much better loaded with the addition of the airbags . towing wise we are more than happy with the hilux as it will push / pull our Bandit 915 most places we wouldn’t put it with our 7-5 tonner.

To be honest Norfolk is a pretty much saturated market with plenty of subbies and new apprentice entrants looking for work .

It’s one that slipped through the net so to speak as the previous owners were not a threat to it . most of the area around it is a mixture of conservation area and TPO its the prime area in Norwich because of the Trees so I think they are well within their rights to have an opinion and try to save it

Not the Walnuts complex behind Steve which has an area TPO on it they asked me for a report on the tree along with several other residents. That site has been managed sustainably for the past 20 years and we’ve planted 15 -20 new trees to create an uneven aged tree stock. i agree with you Steve about the owners rights but why buy a house with a big tree if you obviously don’t want it.Buy a house in a field or on an industrial estate. Were loosing too many big ones in my opinion.

I’m not taking away from the fact that you did a professional job in getting the tree down but It is a shame the owner felt he had to or was advised to ring bark it to prevent Norwich City Council putting a TPO on it . It was a bit of a feature that tree on Branksome Close and carefully looked after by the previous owner of the house for many years with several different contractors pruning it in that time . New Owner =no tree and pissed off neighbours!
