Would only buy a high tip version. My muck truck was great (before it got stolen) bu having to carry ramps so could load the tipper got boring real fast. The hinowa 1100 is great.

I helped a friend of mine (window cleaner) setup a dead easy way to keep his customers updated. Like most folks nealry all of them txt him and vice versa. So when he needs to send the same message to all of them it took him ages. I signed him up with a cheapo online txt service (there are loads we used fastsms.co.uk). Next was the painfull bit, we created an email contact on his PC for every person off his phone, the email format is [email protected]. This took a while but only has to be done once and them kept upto date with new customers. Now the easy bit, he is off on hols for two weeks and needs to let them all know. He starts a new email and BLIND BCC adds all the contacts from the step above. Adds the message and hits send. Job done 322 txt's are sent immedialty. Took him less then 2 mins. Obviously this has marketing options for you wood choppers to keep your customers up to date / christmas sales etc so thought id mention it. https://fastsms.co.uk/solutions/email-to-sms.html

planning laws. created to protect buildings that were built long ago when there were no planning laws.

found the invoice, it was £2900+vat. only weighs 500kg which is important as the digger is a fat old girl with bucket and tilt.

im not sure as it came with the digger, its an Indespension Alumax. Very well built. I think it would take double the weight to be honest.

tipper is 3.5tonner, alumax trailer is 500kg, digger is 3 ton.

thanks eddie, they not far from us as well.

funny you should mention a DIY counterweight. I'm in the middle of having it made now, the digger has mounting holes already. I'm thinking about 300 - 350 KG does that sound about right for a 3 tonner or should I go 250-300 ? My plan is for a wrap around steel 'bumper' and fill it with lead (melt and pour) so it doesnt protrude too far and as narrow enough to miss the blade and allow the service door to open. Here you can see them, the black bumper is what is being replaced

You make a good point there eddie. Im running S40 and have the auto hitch as well running of a trigger which is bloody great time saver. As the kx040 is so new I'm having trouble getting a counterweight but it will definately be less bronco with one. I've had her on a heap loading an 8 wheeler and full stretch which you need to dump into an 8 wheeler she is rocking and bucking a fair bit. You do get used to it but the H & S bloke would shit a brick if he saw it. As far as trenching, I could drop the tilter unit off and put the whites hitch on but I just dig all my trenches in 600 now. If I did miles of 6" then it would be different but I dont. I also got an augertorque unit and run it off the rotate circuit for post hole/stump planing. It has just the right amount of flow, not too fast and not too slow. The claw on it is too powerfull to be honest, I had some 8" stumps and it just disintegrated them. Crazy strong. A word of warning though you can hit the cab if your not carefull as the tilty extends the length of the arm just enough.

i had ex demo engcon with a grab fitted on my kx030-4 and you wont get change from £10k Great bit of kit but it is bloody heavy so you will need weight on the back. Also bear in mind if you do trenching the narrowest you will be able to dig is 600mm as the tilt is 580 wide. The engcon buckets are the best ive used as well, they have slightly difference geometry than stricklands ones. You get more in with each scoop and its easier to dig with them if you know what i mean. In near worcester if you want to come and have a play on it.

cash! do monthly vat. it doesnt build up then.

sodium chrlorate is very very good but also banned for a while now and cant be legally sold.

well from an end user perspective this is good news is it not ? The Positives: Cleaner Air. Better Firewood. Less pikies selling crap as firewood. The negatives: Price of firewood is going up. or am I missing something ?

just keep a sprayer full on hand. squirt on anything green and its dead withing minuted and gone withing a day or two. If you have moss inbetween block pavers for example, spray them good and it will be dead and gone rapid.

best bar none. sodium hypochorlate. they dead and gone within days. mix it up weakish. brilliant for making pavers look like brand new without jet washing.

How you find time to be buggering about cooking when you supposed to be working. I see subbies with this mentality, take breaks dead on time. dinner bang on time. They wonder why they still live in council houses...

this. cheap electric fence job done.

What the hell you lunatics on about getting guns. The single best weapon to use is a camera 10mp+ WITH A FLASH and get good clear face shots that goto the cloud so if the cam is destroyed you still have it. If you really want to be a wannabe rambo then keep a maglite in reach, I have the one that takes 3 D batteries by the back door for walking the dog.

are you geniunely saying a pidgeon trumps the life of a human being ? Only a grade A cretin public servant would side with a pidgeon on that and i'd want the twit with a A sat under that tree with his wife and kids until said bird was gone.

i would definitely install GS heat up or if no land for the coils Air source if my options were oil or wood. It really is a no brainer.

just guess it. Not like they have the capacity to check it after the event. Useless council workers, sack the lot!

scaff tower on wheels is nice and easy. I have used that nifty a couple times and they are ok. I'd prefer scaff tower though

could have had a new one on the books for less. Enjoy your toy mate, jam today.
