My valmets taken a beating

[Johny Walker]

Had a bit of a crash on hollins hill in Baildon ,the truck decided to pull out on me,tractor locked up & that was it & looks like the trusty valmet is going to be no more 

its bent frame not much but insurance guy reckons it's wright off

crane trailer can be repaired

She was like that anyhow Johnny! Big Hammer on the rim and back to work!

How can you pull out on that , it’s hardly inconspicuous! Hope your ok Jonny ,looks like it was hit hard to end up how it did... worth buying back for a yard tractor ?

[Mick Dempsey]

Bad news Jonny.

[Stubby]

Sorry bud . Not good .  Any comment from the idiot ?

[difflock]

I feel for your innocent Valmet, but at 60+ have started to understand being thankful nobody was hurt/badly hurt.

This is one of the reasons though I hate driving tractors on the roads is that it seem dick heads pulling out in front of you is the normal, tractors just seem to be a magnet for it... and over taking in stupid places or worse not overtaking when it’s it’s perfectly safe and not keeping the traffic moving so some retard 4 cars back decides he’s going to break a land speed record to get past almost having a head on... any way hope your not injured Jonny.

Couldn’t agree more with all those points Matty! Well said!

That must have been bloody scary! 
Buying it back off the insurers would definitely be worth exploring IMO.

You were lucky it pulled ring off trailer, could of been a lot worse.
