Concerns as to if we will have business suitable vehicles to run....
Dan Maynard replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Arb-Trucks
Seem to do a proper hardtop van too. -
I have a customer who sent their Siemens drive away to a firm called Kontroltek who repaired it, they specialise in industrial automation but might have a look at your board if you sent a photo. It's probably simple stuff to them.

Just to be clear, when I do that I hit the page I linked in first post but that was updated 2014? I'm getting in over my head as I initially thought the answer was an easy 2 years but not quite sure that's true any more. I see in 2014 page that consent for works to a TPO tree defaults to 2 years, but also the response to a S211 is not and should not be treated as consent. So does that also default to 2 years if they give a response but don't mention a time? Why would Cambridge council bother to mention 2 years but other councils not? I guess in the for the OP boils down to getting the contractor to sort it out anyway.

Well, the best I can find is under the TPO section the local authority to _may_ set a time limit if it thinks appropriate. Most of the time I don't get a decision letter to be honest, but I have found one in my inbox which does have a timeframe in the letter. If you don't have it mentioned then I don't think you have an expiry date. In practical terms I don't think you have any chance of the council coming back and changing their mind and saying the trees now need a TPO so no need to reapply. In any case if you use a good tree surgeon they will know who to contact at the council and just check, worth a phone call I would have said.

Yes, the permission does expire after 2 years. This is the definitive page https://www.gov.uk/guidance/tree-preservation-orders-and-trees-in-conservation-areas I have noticed that the 2 years is only shown under the option where the authority does nothing within 6 weeks, but if they sent notice of not objecting then I think the expiry date will be in that letter.

Seems £150ish? If you are determined to get a cheap saw why not buy a Stihl MS181? Few quid more but guaranteed to be able to get spares for it even in 10 years time.

No, it has a simple angled plate which catches behind a bar going across the front. Guessing they put the double bolt for bigger door.
-
We've got a 20 ish year old Hunter Herald 6, looks similar so I believe yours could well be an 8.
-
I tried those Site and have to say found they fell apart really quickly so haven't gone back. Green showa at Mstore 50p less than black for some reason.

Does show up though, it's pretty hard work the be VAT registered if you're still doing accounts with a shoebox of receipts. If you're already doing QuickBooks, Xero, Freeagent etc then should be straightforward - just need to be more careful to correctly enter the tax amounts and rates on incoming and outgoing invoices.

Bad News Ash Disease discovered in East Anglia
Dan Maynard replied to arbwork's topic in Tree health care
It's an interesting one, conservation in the woods I volunteer at is cutting down trees, and they mow grass too. This is to conserve the wildlife which has grown accustomed to a coppice woodland over hundreds and probably thousands of years. When the MOD owned the wood they did nothing, all the trees grew up and covered the ground. Massive decline in orchids, wildflowers, hence decline in butterflies and birds, dormice, et al. -
Cherry tree excessive growths
Dan Maynard replied to Stany's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
The growth on the rest of the tree looks very thin, it's been a very dry year. Personally I would leave them alone for a year or two and see what happens. It is likely the thick areas will self thin through shading anyway. -
Good job. Entec lives another day!
-
Lot of repayments every month on those shiny vans, plus staff costs, I would guess cashflow held up in pandemic and not reserves to cover. My business would have popped without BBL for cashflow and I've no kit really.
-
That's decisive! Should get it working though, bit of cunning with mounting holes or adapter plate.
-
They have both front and base mount in series 45. Maybe you're right, take some pics of what you have. In the end it's only switches so must be possible to fix it with something.
-
What do you mean upside down? Base mount as opposed to front mount? And why too small? Most of these contacts for 22.5 are all pretty much the same size, we use ABB, Allen Bradley, Eaton at work they just have slightly different clips.
-
Probably find a few suppliers but Mouser are ok, otherwise digikey, Rs, Darnell. https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/EAO/45-311.1Z10?qs=nVS1qgv%2BQrm6qpBPF7JXSQ%3D%3D
-
That's a bit confusing because the description says NO which means normally open (closes when you press the button) - but the picture is NC (closed but breaks when you push the button). I found a statement from EAO that the series 44 is obsolete, try series 45. That has a base mount NC and NO contact in the range which you could try. Otherwise someone like ABB or Eaton make base mount contacts but probably won't click in so Stanley knife and hot melt needed to get it in position.

On the bright side leaf cover looks ok, as Paul said I'd see how it is next year.

The chain oil tank gets warm yes, it's right next to the exhaust, but no it's definitely not normal for the bar to get that hot. I think it must be either excessive force on the cut, or lack of oil, or it's not a matching set of parts eg wrong gauge chain (admittedly not likely if they were bought as a set). You have to just eliminate the possibilities until you are left with the impossible (or something like that Sherlock Holmes said). Only other thought if you've run other saws, were they Stihl? The inboard clutch drum has a little slot which engages with the oil pump drive arm, easy to miss if you don't know it's there.

Possibly not wanting to start chipping 8.00 on a Sunday?

I guess they hope you have a local dealer to answer as many questions as possible, keeping anyone from actually ringing Greece

It will be interesting to hear how you get on, we had a thread about this recently.
