we got broken into Friday just a heads up to any one local in the area off wombourne and surrounding areas. They new what they wanted and persevered to get the saws left the chipper and mowers motorbike (with keys in) the reason I say persevered is because they got through 3 steel doors.

hi pete I did the irata level 1 its very hard to get work from it because every company wants level2 but you have to gain 1000hrs on level 1 to be able to do the level 2 course. I think ua2 would be more practical and help lead you to wider line of jobs/work . Regards David

Kumho KL 71 Are brilliant off road and towing on the road .

Over the road from me they have a pit full of old oil and they put timber fence post in and post and rail also its very similar to how they used to treat telegrath poles. I have no idea how you would get rid of the oil. p.s they only use the fencing on there ground. regards Dave

As you said there are a lot of variables in you question, I tend to do a step cut up to about 18 inch and about 3ft-4ft in height depending on the weight of the timber. If you can crash the stuff down with not having to worry about miss jones fence,green house etc ,then a pull line at the top and gob in as low down as you feel happy with. The lads on the ground can work with the timber a lot faster then yourself. If you have got fence etc to consider then nice and steady 4-6ft sections on the lowering system just make sure that if the timber has a chance of swinging back that you and you feet are above it . Regards David

a good friend of mine has got a 190 (no turbo) and ive changed the main bearings every 400hrs and ive put uprated bearings in every time. its not much of a job to do as long as you have got a decent set of spanners and a bit of know how. We only change them so oftern because they failed once and it was a night mare to et sorted. My Vermeer Bc 150 has never needed a set of bearings and know its at 915hr Regards David

keep it simple keep it stupid, The figure of 8 is more of a traditional caving /rock climbing system not a fan for it to be used in arb work. but that's my view anyway Regards David

Its not to much trouble to move the tank. we moved mine to the drivers side under the tipping body just has two new brackets made and bolted it on. for some reason if you fill the tank up it will only show that its half full on the gauge I think that its some thing to do with the height of the tank. (35c)crew cab daily we put continental front tyres they seemed to be the strongest walled tyre I could find. Regards David

I know what you mean my daily has got uprated rear springs and the front dose catch on the odd speed bump. To the point were we have had to relocate the diesel tank to be mounted to the rear chassis. The only thing that I did was uprate the front tyres too a stronger wall i.e Mercedes sprinter tyres. and found this has made a great difference.
