  1. With an ally bed or cage on not much more than 2-2 1/2 ton or they would not allow it to be down rated.
  2. Be around 31/2 ton it will.
  3. Can drive it on a car licence for now until he gets his HGV class 2 and then uprate it back to 7.5 ton (not rocket science) Have run lots of different stuff over the years and always around the auctions nosing about,That is the fun in it for me and picking up a 1 ton tree like a knife through butter is a great feeling.8 hrs work then down the pub. ?
  4. Still looking at 1=1/2 ton which is ok and for private ground and take downs always handy,I own a lot of woodworking machines and every one has a use,Its what keeps the world going round. I have a 24 inch wide 3 phase planer/thicknesser which cost me a grand and ony gets used maybe 5 times a year but makes planing huge beams easy and makes a grand every year in use for a few hours work.
  5. Another option which i did was to get a bigger truck and down rate it which is what this one is so no need for new hgv test Spec Hiab and Hook Loader. 6.5 Tonne down rated to 3.5 Tonne can be easily back uprated. HMF 350 crane perfect working order. H15 Multilift hook gear perfect working order. Ex council vehicle warranted 66000 miles. bigger truck and down rate it
  6. Without hiab full spec Isuzu NPR 7.5 Tonne Hook Loader Truck For Sale | HGV Traders ... Features & Options Rigid Trucks 2018 1 km 4x2 Day cab 7,500 kg GWV 3,000 cc Hook Loader White Diesel Manual New body condition New interior condition New overall condition 100% tyre condition
  7. Between 4-41/2 ton so means you would be on or around 3 ton gross weight carrying.
  8. Its a 7.5 tonner
  9. Pistols at dawn (eggs) i will be your No 2 ?
  10. Here you go and 7.5 ton all in,Pay for its self in 12 months.Proper toy to play with. Are you a man or a mouse or shall i get the (cheese)
  11. Go all the way then and fit a hiab but think about the overall wait you can carry.
  12. If you do go down the 7.5 ton route them think about a roll on roll off rear bed as can leave a bin/bed on the job and still use multiple bins/beds. So handy for loading and unloading,I had one and superb for loading my 2.5 ton excavator.Cost about a grand more but what money worth spend as had 4 rear beds with it for that money.
  13. I have done both and if you are going to jump up then go 10 ton and not 7.5 as you will see a huge difference in payloads as you mention and the cost of rinning 7.5 to 10 ton in about the same and all the checks involved, I got away with having to do the HGV as my car licence allowed me to drive one,I was doing a self build at the time so if i ever got stopped the truck was used for private use and was insured on my traders policy so as i was already paying that cost nothing to add it on.
  14. I have a 24 inch wide planer and its a monster to handle timber of big size though it.
  15. Project i doing at the moment (fire place)
  16. Just for the record i am one of the very few who can sharpen a handsaw (disston) still got him after 30 years
  17. Lazy lot and never know whats its like to go hungry
  18. Hand applied then as it can be sprayed
  19. Its a bastard is what it is (rest in peace)
  20. just asking musch
  21. Any goings on today on this issue
  22. I like the tapered legs as finished the table real nice
  23. Always good lads about as its just a numbers game and you are correct
  24. Something like this would do you John Deere ride on mower STX38 hydrostatic 38'' deck garden tractor Pre-owned £1,350.00
  25. I spend a year fitting 4 new custom builds out for a customer who had a b+b by the river shannon in ireland when i was living up in cheshire 20 years ago in a small established boat yard,One of the most enjoyable work i have ever been involved in as a carpenter/joiner is 30+ years and i saw first hand why people fall for the life style that comes with it.
