  1. Many drivers spend some of their time driving under both EU and GB rules. EU rules usually take precedence over GB rules. Important points to note: Time spent driving under EU rules cannot count as an off-duty period under GB rules Driving and other duty under GB domestic rules count as attendance at work under EU rules (and cannot be counted as a break or rest period) Driving under EU rules count towards the driving and duty limits under GB domestic rules So my take on that is, VOSA could technically do you for being over your hours, and not having/showing adequate rest periods
  2. Ok, see here is where iam lost. You pick up your trailer, put your card in, drive 10 miles and get pulled by VOSA They ask you to prove you have had adequate weekly rest, for that week, how do you do this?
  3. Oh yes. 1500 squids worth. Didnt opt for getting it factory fitted (wads cheaper), as iam a prick
  4. Do you still put your tacho card in, if its set to out of scope?
  5. I remember, or think i remember, reading that you have a Tacho fitted, but only use it occasionally, as you dont always tow a trailer? If iam correct, how do you record your weekly rest period? For example, if you dont take the trailer all week, but then take it on Friday, you put your Tacho card in, but how do you prove you have taken adequate weekly rest?
  6. Cut their fingers off. Bolt cutters
  7. You want to buy wood without looking at it? Brave move
  8. Your right, i was talking whizz. I get 80l/min (i read the book). Still a fair old flow, and still a slow crane.
  9. Definitely ask to see one working before you splash the cash.
  10. Top half or bottom half?
  11. What trailer?
  12. I'd say slower than Botex. Youtube them, they are real slow. I run it off a Fastrac with an oil Flow of 110 litres per minute, so plenty oil
  13. I have a KTS crane, 6.7m and find it very slow. Well enough built, but slow.
  14. Really? I wonder what they will/are able to do if suppliers don't register?
  15. Yeah just the two wheel drive. Iam mainly on the road and in the yard. I forget the price, got it from Jim at Riko, you should give him a call. There is a video on YouTube of the 4 wheel drive version. I have shifted at least 2000tonne of chip wood with it, and tonnes upon tonnes of brash, and the trailer is still like new.
  16. I bought a 14 tonne Oniar trailer a year ago. Cant fault it, very well built. I got in extended so it would take two bays of 3m chip wood. This extension is removable, for getting into tighter spots.
  17. You said you wanted bigger?
  18. Time to go back to the good old horse and cart Tacho exempt
  19. Still selling, cant complain really. Has been cold up here all week though

  21. Those stacks are nothing compared to my Posch Packfix nets. Did fresh cut Birch and Sycamore at the start of the year. They look rather drunk. I will get a picture, so you can laugh
  22. £35 up here They do say the Scottish are tight:001_rolleyes:
