Volvo 740 estate (with 240,000 miles) and a 8x5 trailer, husky 55 and new climbing gear for college course. Groundie was my 16 year old daughter (after her CS30/31 course).

 

Upgraded to a treebusta - sat on pallets so it would blow into the trailer.

 

Then LT35 van - back 1/3rd boarded out - TW 6 inch chipper to fill it - 10 mins to shovel out.

 

Now run transit tipper, Greenmech 15/13 and loads of other toys acquired over the years

 

Evolution rather than revolution

Started off with a Lada Niva, homebuilt caravan chassis trailer, Husky 254 and my now wife doing my groundwork!!

cool thread, nissan cabstar for me, had it for a few months untill it refused to go into 1st gear so sold it to India and got my Landy 110 which I still have, started with an ifor caged trailer on the back then got my tracked chipper most of my work involves leaving chip on site which is handy.

As for climbing kit well it about time I got a new harness my willans is 7 years old and still going strong!

 

Had my Willans since 1998 just thinking about replacing it but what for?? its all I've ever known!!

Nice bikes but if we're going triples then the Kwackers were the nuts. Styling, engine...shame about the frame:001_smile:
