day 1:

we are doing a big extension on the back and re doing the landscaping etc, its a dark damp corner everything mossed up and they'd fitted decking when it was built in 2000. possible the worst choice its like an ice rink.

originally we were going in the back with the 16 tonner sat at the top acting as a crane to lower minis and we bought a 1000l crane skip. but the rd at the pack is single track, mean backing tractor and trailer up it and the neighbours are rio and ronnaldo still as a house up it so we decided to go in the front, which was fun hehe.

That the job you posted about awhile ago asking for ideas on access?

Posted: **Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:38 pm**

yeah planning got re submitted with the inclusion of a garage where we've made the hole in the hedge, waiting for permission on that

Giles - I'm not certain of the payload of your 7500kg wagon therebut that KX71/3 @ 3000kg and a set of buckets plus loading ramps will most certainly put you overweight.......just beware as VOSA are now totally self-funding, they are out in force now.

Having to write personally to the Traffic Commissioner is no fun.........believe me!

You run tachos? How far into CPC are you?

2014 isn't that far away now......

kx71-3 is 2800kg plus buckets make that 3000kg plus ramps make that 3200kg, them wagons can take 3.5t cant they?

the man is quiet light actually its gross's up at something like 3800kg leaving 3700kg for driver and load.

yeah tachos and as for cpc, our foreman is doing it as hes full class a etc, i need to get on it and get upto class a

its far better option than towing it with the navaras like we used to that was silly as navara towing limit is 2700 so machine and trailer is like 3600kg way over safe limit, but we dragged one rd for years. most the time we move it around on the tractor. lots of machines flying around on big tractors rd here helps we are very agricultural and the cops are ok.

found out today baletelli is 3 doors up haha

Cor! Blimey.......all manner of trades are getting pulled down around here pulling trailers, inc small builders etc towing mid-sized trailers for general stuff.

The local VOSA yard/place where they take you to - has shut down! dont see them much up here! Maybe things arent the same oop norf? ps i dont go on motorways/dual carriage ways if i can help it or anywhere VOSA might be, stick to the back roads with the kubota on!

Its not forever anyway, ill get a wagon someday, also if we need the dumper on the job to we get a wagon in, only every now and then i tow it...like today

We got pulled by VOSA with the JCB on the back of our wagon (daf45) last week.
got a fixed penalty as it was SLIGHTLY off center, had to move it about 3inches back:rock:
Â£180 i think the fine was.

Vosa are evil. If they stop you they will get you on something regardless. You cant even work for vosa unless you were picked on at school by everyone including the teachers and your own parents.. .FACT!

They like to sit right around the corner from my yard

I get stopped by them and traffic police all the time, orange plate for hazardous goods attracts them like flys to sh*t. Last time I was stopped I got held up by a cop for 90 minutes while he kept on walking back to his car to check the regulations in his wee book. He finally let me leave with a warning after he yanked on the gas bottles with all his weight and they moved millimetres
