Been back doing some Groundworks, had to help an architect friend sought a problem with pooling on a new carpark at a convent! Main contractor gone bump and architect does a lot of work for the church so asked us to do this. Long way from home in north Manchester in middle of a rough estate 6am leave home 7pm home for 3 days but hopefully sorted it.

Had a bit of asphalt left so fixed a pothole at yard tried new to me 215kg wacker out. Very nice to use.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
At what ball height 🧐. I spent hours messing with the scales when we built the crane trailer and 50mm can make the difference between negative and over weight .
well the adopted UK std is 16", ctr. of ball to G/L ..... and yes with a twin axle, (or any trailer) you have got to get the coupling height just right especially not to get negative nose weight :rolleyes:

You and your nose limits😆 I bet Pam gets fed up of you weighing the wheelbarrow handle weights 😂😁😁😁
had a mate pull in the yard many years ago with a trailer on the back of his 90, with a 2-ish t machine on board and asked if I could see why it was making some odd noises ... hitch was way too high for the Ifor and it'd actually worn slots in the back cross member - in not a great distance ... made a plate to weld to the back of the landy to re-establish the holes in the right places and sold him one of our adjustable dropper set ups to put on to get his heights right ... didn't have any more issues after ... had to use the fork lift to get his trailer off the back off the back of the 90 when he pulled in ... nose weights aren't set/designated for the hell of it LL :rolleyes:;), to say nothing of the designed spec.s of the hitch slider itself ... too much and it just won't slide .. they ain't mounted in linear bearings ... just a greasy tube - that will stick if it has too much weight bearing on it .... it's also worth bearing in mind that insurers'll wriggle like ferk with any trailer accident and it'll be the first thing they'll assess ...... and then ................ you have PC Plod to contend with :rolleyes:o_O


and as for the barrows ... she's the one who's usually overloading the damned things for me to push :rolleyes::ROFLMAO:
