  1. for volume sure. For moving a 10 ton digger one a month with no O licence, no MOT and no tacho you cant beat a tractor and trailer running on red.
  2. that would be fine. Falls under the 100km from base and not for hire or reward exceptions.
  3. nope not allways then many many exemptions. Tachograph Exemptions (UK): a overview of the exemptions | FleetGO FLEETGO.COM Exemptions – When don’t the tachograph requirements under EU-regulation 561/2006 apply in the UK? We have created an... Never only a car though.
  4. ah the window tax. Whether you have the rear windows blanked on a disco 3/4 governs your speed limit. If they are blanked you are a van and have to go 50 on A roads and dual carriageways, if you roll them down your a car and can do 60/70. The upside of this nonsense is blanked windows pay cheap road tax!
  5. correct some trailers when loaded. but never a car.
  6. nope. cars done need a tacho. its exploiting a loophole when downplating the vehicle keeps its train weight.
  7. wrong there is no limit on trailer weight limit on an old BE licence, the plated train weight of the tug is what defines it.
  8. you spec the mileage at start so no payment at end.
  9. maybe been better off not tieing up the cash and contract hiring.

    New Digger

    the alumax trailer is really nice to tow with, you need a decent tug id say. ive got the 3ltr daily and i dont notice it there, also used a disco3 and we fine as well. the 27 is a bit old now, id go for the 030 as its bang upto date.
  11. not necessarily. It looks like cement board. Even if its not as long as you double bag it our local council tip has a special skip you can put it into or just get a small skip from a registered waste carrier. Replacement Corregated sheets are a tenner a pop. Total pain in the arse for a moments slip but thats how it goes. Get the insurance in and they defo will get a £££££ firm in.
  12. just replace the roof with new sheets, its dirt cheap and you could do in a morning.
  13. Not your tree, not your problem. ‘The encroachment of the boughs and roots over and within the land of the adjoining owner is not a trespass or occupation of that land which by lapse of time could become a right. It is a nuisance.
  14. I can see a loader wouldnt be much cop on a digger (3 tonner) its fine.
  15. have the same including the grinder. It literally chews the stump to bits nice and slowly so safe and easily controllable.

    Overloaded

    Could be a tad over there Mr Pikey
  17. bang on not enough housing. Too many people here is why, deport 100,000 a week until the prices comes down. Start with the 50.2% who are net spongers on the state.
  18. really good company to deal with as well, small firm but bed over backwards to help. Their scandi style buckets are equally as good as our engcon supplied ones at half the cost.
  19. for knocking in stackes - loads. Whats a good one thats easy to level up etc ?
  20. how about a small duck - best of both worlds.
