Crappy delivery

[Tippin Alaybye]

Cheers but I’ve paid for delivery and it’s the principle. A farm is just up the track from me. A few years ago he helped me shift my new chipper with his tractor with some lifting gear. I could drive my truck to the depot and collect it, about an hour’s round trip.
They are coming back with it in 2 days time.

How heavy is it? Pallet trucks can (by design) lift full pallets, and tail lifts can lift/lower them. Pallets are regularly 1 tonne - is the mill heavier than this?! 

713kg

As @monkeybusiness says there is no reason that that can't go on a tail lift, I'd almost bet that that's how it arrives.

I'm going to do nothing apart from wait to hear how it gets delivered. If it does come on a tail lift I can't believe, (well I can) they didn't ask if you had a way to offload it your end.

well I have decided that today I will let my principles take a back seat to pragmatism and the fact I can't wait to get milling again. I'm going to the depot in my L200 to pick the bloody thing up this afternoon

If you want something doing, do it yourself
