Is there such thing as an experienced hand cutter looking for work in the Hampshire/Surrey/West Sussex area? 

Someone with reliable attitude, saws & vehicle, who wants to earn a good day rate? Working alongside recent up together machinery.

Seems a hard man to find!

Still looking for someone, ongoing potentially full time work

A lot of guys out there using modified artic trailers Paul. Not sure what's left in the way of a legal payload, with  the weight of these modern tractors/trailers combo`s some must be down to under ten tons.

Good for road haulage but less so for in the wood or tight driveways.

Less concerned about the legislation more worried about the mechanical reliability/safety issues. 

Wheel bearings going, blow outs ect 

Just upgraded the old 40k tractor to a Valtra with a 57k box

All my current trailers are 6 stud axles on flotation tyres

Is anyone towing at speed on 6 stud axles?  Any issues? 

Should I be upgrading to 10 stud axle trailers?  Looking at upgrading the old Botex euro 8 timber trailer for a new larger one, these seem to come in 8 stud only.

Still on the look out for someone.

Ideally a 480 size machine

Is that while it's working or left on site. 

Left on site.  I'm only really worried about theft and vandalism cover, I can't be carting round fence panels everywhere we go, JCB cover machines on private land without fencing but won't touch tree work, neither will anyone else it would seem.

Tempting to try and cover it for general ground works but when your called Grayshott Tree Services and its been stolen from a forest I don't think they will pay out!

Can you not get it covered through you public liability insurance. Mine has a plant cover on it and hired in plant cover. 

I'm with trust, they require a heras fencing around the machine, which isnt practical.

Running out of options here, any more suggestions?

Yeah left Trust for that reason- locked compound they said. Complete bollocks. I go with Cornish Mutual now. They may not be the cheapest but someone actually came out to the yard- looked over all the plant took serial numbers etc before giving me a quote- just instills more confidence in the event of a claim.

Cornish mutual also not covering tree works

JCB have also confirmed they don't cover tree work.

JCB through cover sure are offering a good price, the sales man has promise the world though and I'm wary.

Basically has told me its insured for anything anywhere, doesn't even need a fence around it.  Unable to show me the policy wording that backs this up however.

NFU for all my insurance except EL and PL. Can't fault them.

NFU informed me they no longer insure diggers used for forestry/tree work

Who do you insure your diggers with?

And for what use?  Got an arb/forestry digger that needs theft and vandalism cover out in the woods and in gardens.

Cheers

Does anyone have a contact number for @JimE please?

Many thanks!
