Like I said in my experience treatment plants are o.k if they are looked after - and tricel although a solid thing need frequent emptying to work correctly if near capacity, there will be hundreds of them not emptied often enough and discharging sludge into the watercourse/ditch.
Compact filters are more popular around here but the regs are strapped to a slab and lean mix backfill.... as there is a virtually empty tank buried.
Can't beat a traditional tank and trenches if ground conditions and space allow.

A lot of folk do think a treatment plant is so good they never need to be emptied whereas like you say its more often. The klargester bio disc looked after possibly are one of the best on discharge quality but suffer worse if not properly maintained than others without moving parts.

Interesting one...lad on tyre van just changed this. Coach driver noticed it on his check before he set off across the dales was fine in the morning checks apparently.
Heat? Interior felt ok..

Joys of remoulds.

However I've no issue with remoulds on tipper work ect as you'll more than likely destroy a tye before it wares out. On a coach I'd expect a decent operator to run new.

Looks like it says "made in Germany" so should be a decent make of tyre, doesn't look to be ancient.

Bit of topping. Quoted at £200, was sure I’d underpriced but all done in four hours from loading to unloading so a nice enough afternoon job. Been putting it off for ages as it’s been so hot.

 

[DaveDCB]

How many acre did you do in 4 hours? I think the going rate is something like £35 a acre for topping.. but my topper is 2.5 meters wide so obviously rattles through a lot more!

National trust project manager only comes up on Wednesdays and no he hasn’t got keys lol he’s more office based

The going rate doesn't apply to Surrey small holders Dave. The smaller the job, the more expensive the price per acre. But you try finding someone to do it round here. Those that do cant fit in the gateway with the size of their kit!

Yup, you try buying five acres round here for the average price of 10k an acre!

Don’t think I’ve seen 10k an acre for a while, nearly 20k up here

thus why I was wondering how many acres got done for 200 Can soon make a gateway bigger

Last week I mowed 3/4 of an acre with digger & flail on the side of the Thames near Henley & they said I was cheap at £600 + vat
