    One thing not been mentioned is fatigue. After using our 365 for several hours my arms felt 2 inches longer. Heavier saw will cause tire you out quicker which is when you are most likely to make a mistake. Coupled to this as Jomoco says a bigger saw has the ability to bite you quicker. Mate of mine takes liberties with a small saw and he has got away with it so far, but I shudder to think what he would do with a 576. Take your time John and stay safe

    Presumably a 4 wheeled trailer. Is the hitch at the right height to give you enough weight on the hitch. Also best to put some weight in the tow vehicle if you can.

    We have found that most salesmen exaggerate the returns. Always best to do your own calculations.
  4. cornish wood burner
    Yes sorry I couldn't remember the name. We bought one several years ago when a 5ft girl was moving 1300 kg pallets on a less than perfect surface. Electric is obviously better but more money.

    BT pro lifter is the answer. Sometimes referred to as a ratchet pallet truck. Pull the second lever and the pump handle rotates the wheels about 1/3 turn to get you started. Not cheap but a well made truck.

    Unfortunately I don't think the law sees it that way. I believe the phrase is "duty of care"

    I think her point was her friend should have not been allowed to take it if there is a health risk, however small. As they were not in the tree game they cannot be expected to know these risks.

    You can get ratchet pallet trucks that use handle movement to help you over roughness. Streets ahead of a normal pump truck but electric is best especially if your surface is poor. A manual truck will give you a good workout if the surface is rough though. 4 wheels better than two.

    Tried your local bearing factor? They will just need to measure the diameters.

    A company that chips for us runs their lorry and chipper on red. 10 wheeler and I believe no HGV or no tacho. It's all built as one unit though. No travelling on motorways as its agri.

    Agreed, proper kit is normally quicker and safer. Also with the policy of " if they break they get replaced" which sounds like there is a good chance of no LOLER inspections then you definitely would not want a second person around. Presumably no ticket would mean no insurance payout.
  12. cornish wood burner
    Presumably you have the hiab, chains, and slings inspected and tested?
  13. cornish wood burner
    Over the years I've seen several welds let go through lack of penetration, many cracks due to fatigue and poor manufacture resulting in high stress concentrations. This is why I was thinking best to buy the correct items rather than get joe down the road to make it. I'm sure a short piece of scaffold piece would do it especially if kept short and has had an event free life. However from the replies I wonder how many of you bother with LOLER.
  14. cornish wood burner
    So if you have them made up will they be tested/ inspected etc? If not and something broke and someone was injured then you would be in trouble not to mention having the injury or worse on your conscience.
  15. cornish wood burner
    It does tighten a bit sometimes if you have worked it hard but always manageable in my experience.
  16. cornish wood burner
    Good idea Thanks Stubby just seen your reply
  17. cornish wood burner
    Or you could use an Internet conversion site, just put in 14x7x1 =98 cubic ft Site I found did give 2.77 Big J has given the best advice though, he just needs a few more decimal places to be accurate
  18. cornish wood burner
    RS probably do them
  19. cornish wood burner
    Bit of 6mm plate with a reinforcing across corners should do it. At least 50 or 60 x6 on its edge for the cross and probably overlap the hole by 50 mm if your location pieces are a tight fit.
  20. cornish wood burner
    Volume is in "liters" so presumably it comes from over the pond. I didn't think they even acknowledged anything metric. Perhaps they forgot a Pi in their equation on purpose.
  21. cornish wood burner
    Hopefully they have come good again. Ours lost all the paint underneath. Mechanically was sort of OK. Our old Sprinter is better though. Anyway just keep an eye on the chassis paint. Perhaps a coat of waxoyl if you get a problem. Enjoy your new wheels.
  22. cornish wood burner
    I hope Iveco have improved the underbody paint/protection. Our 08 is just about rusted out
  23. cornish wood burner
    Volume does seem to be consistently low.
  24. cornish wood burner
    Sorry ignore that been a long day
  25. cornish wood burner
    Doesn't seem to work out right
