No issue, I was just asking what length I could go to. Got a sensible answer pretty much straight away and a good suggestion about turning the mill through 90 degrees which I think I’ll go for.
-
Move it on flat trailer but it’s a complete faff hence the reason for the original post. I don’t use it much off site but will do more if I can just turn up, mill and go! It just not professional or profitable to set up site off a seperate trailer and start building it up in my opinion.
-
It’s on the website in tech specs
-
Never known a mobile miller remove the mill from the trailer, add bits to it and set up on the floor.
-
The website says 770kg for standard length, no fuel or cutting fluid so would possibly be ok if you didn’t mind removing something more than 20kg and carried fuel and water in the truck. I’d want it over a weigh bridge though to be sure. Mines 22’ track so definitely over.
-
Or imagine if those ships could be powered by wind ?
-
There over weight for non braked, so illegal to tow on road in uk as far as I can see. Not type approved either but reading up on this I’m not sure they need to be.
-
Not really, it looks like cheap shite pressed sheet steel bolted together to build a frame. I don’t know what brakes etc it has and I’m not sure it has type approval either. Might be alright for the odd 10’ log but I’d want to keep the full length of my milk capacity. It would be more agro to build a kit of parts than a proper welded steel chassis for me. The easiest way would just be loaded on my 16’ flat trailer but I’d rather something purpose built.

as much as I love my v8 and other combustion engines toys anything who thinks electric vehicles won’t catch on has got there head in the clouds! It’s already happened, new combustion engines will be gone within the next 10 years easily.
-
Electric motors are surely better at towing, and pretty much everything else that I can think of. It’s the cost and lack of demand putting manufacturers off. We need to get our heads around range..how many people tow, off road, heavy loads for hundreds of miles every day in a non hgv? Electric would probably suit 75% of road users in the uk. Can’t remember the stats but I’m sure you find them online about average journey travelled. It’ll be a while before folk are willing to move though, when most already have something that does all the things the next generation trucks will do at a lower cost to owner albeit a higher cost to emissions, health, noise pollution etc

You’d think it would be better when kids pay so much too, for my eldest at uni I say how much an hour are you paying to be there..paying about £15/hr doesn’t represent good value to me. But obviously it has other benefits and is a great experience.
-
One kid doing a levels one at uni both do about 16hrs per week in lessons! Both in full time education.
-
My definition of working everyday would be you work every day maybe not including bank holidays. But if someone says they have a full time job I would assume 40hrs per week.

I’d be interested in the tank if it doesn’t go with the stove cheers -

Has it got other inlets? Or just for the 1 stove? And any immersion fitting? Looking for something to add to solar -
Had one lately Friday night 8pm call saying ‘when can you deliver cos we work everyday’ I say well its no problem we work everyday too so pick an evening that suits you. ‘Oh do it Sunday lunchtime’ I say oh I thought you’d be out at work if you work everyday and get told Monday to Friday is working everyday!

Is that for sale Andy? -
+1 for Adrian flux, got all other insurances with Nfu but they wanted £600 for my old 90. Given my other three vehicles with them including a van, a much newer jag and Range Rover is only about £1200 all in, I couldn’t believe it. Adrian did tpft for £117! Limited mileage (think 5000) but I knew it was going to be off the road for a bit so asked if it could be knocked down for less money. Think it was £200 ish before on probably 10,000. Commercial/farm use included. think so many are nicked these days less want to cover them.

Always do nothing outside (other than livestock) Christmas Eve and day and Boxing Day. Like the fact the phone and email goes quiet for a fortnight though and enjoy a bit of tinkering, tidying up and doing the jobs I choose to do rather than the ones that shout loudest/pay most. i don’t feel guilty about having the fire on, feet up and beer in hand by about 3pm most days from Christmas Eve right through to first proper week of the new year. Prefer doing a good bit especially with no customer pressure then relaxing, as is common with other threads on here if I don’t I get bored quickly and don’t enjoy it.

Definitely sounds like a grey area, not many cows milked, fields sown and harvested or sheep clipped by a digger I imagine yet everyone seams to move them round here with tractors. What about the hedge cutting lads? Do they run on o license and white? Same for Gritters when it’s the tractor towing the spreading. Not trying to be funny, just interested to know what the crack is on this.
-
I assumed if it was working on a farm, for a farmer, with something that was produced on the farm it would covered as farming or forestry. Is this the case? What would be the case when contractors move diggers between farms on tractors..is that covered the same way?
-
I was thinking the wheels would be about the same width as mill head or wider as it’s a very small mill but once I figure where the weight is balanced I could set up some brackets to turn the head through 90 degrees. Good suggestion. Are other mills set to travel like this?
-
I assume locking off the mill in the right position to get the load balanced should be ok.
-
I could take on a bale trailer or just build it as a tractor tow trailer if need be, it’s not something I do masses of so wouldn’t be looking to get new vehicle and operators license.
