new toy

[gensetsteve]

:lol:

 

I used to take an easy week just after new year and service everything. landy , van, tractor, chipper, stumpy, trailers and everything, haven't found the time this year so things just get done when I can. Should really try and get back to a regular thing thjough.

 

Same here I always check the tyre pressures and dip the oil at christmas After a slight mishap a few years ago I now check antifreeze in everthing in October.

Nice one Steve! Has you're work shifted away from Gloria stuff now?

 

Gloria is a coat hanger these days, but when she is needed she will be called upon to make my life easier:)

you going to go and give the tyres a kick ?

 

it does lok like a handy bit of kit but cant see that it will be as handy as steves new toy

[nick channer]

thinking of something like that or a 7.5 or 10 ton lorry with crane.... think the lorry would get more use to be honest..

Nice bit of kit, but just too wide. It's the same width as my old 2150 I think. I really was limited with access but great for rd work .

there is a cracking trailer and hiab at Frank Atkinsons that would suit your 1600 Cts.

That's a smart looking set up Stevie and seemed a bargain compared to that old 7610 they had in.

 

Do you know much about it? remember seeing one in FMJ a few years ago same colour with a patu crane with the grab bar to one side like yours and it was FC at the time.

Hi Chris, apologies for not replying to the Holder pm, i totally forgot, sorry.

 

I am so delighted with the tractor, i have only been on it for about 2 hrs, but it is so tight. I dont have a descent trailer for it , i need to find 1 asap or get 1 made so i can use it properly, i have stacks of work for it.

 

I do not know the history of it, i never asked. I could soon find out off Wilsons.

I am glad i just bought it, i havent been spontanious for ages. lol
