Have you considered checking the hinged end and other moving parts to see if they are bound? It could be the solenoid but check the easy stuff first.

Relax and work hard, look for things to do, don't be afraid to ask, take enough to eat and drink. Wear the right clothing and footwear, expect to get the jobs nobody likes and complete them as if they were for your Mum and then remember, that's how you've to be forever more. A trial is how they expect you to work when they are not there too! Relax,Good Luck and best wishes!

Okay, it's years ago but my 130 single cab with dropside came from the local dealer in Stratford and was ex-Landrover Special Vehicles. Try asking the dealer to contact LR to see if anything is being released soon. The main issue with overloading is self restraint based on experience.

I suppose it depends on what type of work and who for gives distance travelled. My old outfit, Barrowcliff's, did ute work and we covered Gainsborough - Northampton and Boston - Uttoxeter and we lived pretty much in the middle.

Brooksby College at Melton Mowbray does arb courses.

Look in the Ute Arb section. Qualified people needed in Essex by the look of it!

Trouble is, scum who do that will come back with a bigger stick! Good shot tho!

Man says to his wife "What would you do if I won the lottery?" "Take half and leave you" she replies "Here's a fiver, now Sod Off!"

How about Leavesleys, Rocket Site at Misson and that mob at Ampthill? Shardlow Landrovers, Keith Gott, Liveridge Landrovers will convert things, Foley's, landroverman.com, simmonites etc The list is fairly endless......................

Sorry, finger/eyesight error. Balmers at Burnley.

I like gadgets like this and the Boxer and the Avant. GreenMech did not make that woodchipper tho. It would have been advisable to offer some advise on PPE to machinery operators as well. Anyone know who is the dealer in the UK? I know of some of the Merlo construction tellehandler dealers and the kit is well made and designed but dear I understand that sales are difficult due to the competition and the pricing structure.

Blames at Burned. They used to be TW dealers but are now GreenMech dealers.

There is some sense in your comment, blame the litigious society and the ambulance chasing lawyers out for an easier buck! As my Mum used to say, "If you put your hand in the fire because your brother told you too, I'd slap you legs for being so stupid too!"

Ho Ho Ho!

Hey Ty, If you jam it, sit it down on the infeed chute, take the belt cover off and rotate the drum (use the hole in the shaft end) anti clock until it turns freely. Then start engine whilst it is still upended and when at full rpm - sit it back on the stand. I take onboard you comments ref tying down - I 'll photograph one on a trailor for you as a guide. If you want a handle and another wheel it has been considered but we are trying to keep costs down you know:sneaky2: Best regards

"Bedfords Rock!" They do! as do Matadors.................... Still open to offers on the "project":001_tt2:

Whiplash!?! Forsooth Man! Actually, I gave them a lift home - Newark to Ashby De La Zouch! About 20 miles extra round trip from home tho! Hope that someone would do that to my parents if they were in need. No Thermos or Werthers tho..................

An old couple had their car breakdown on the dual carriage A46 near Newark showground. A passerby saw that flames were coming out the underneath so stopped, got them out of the car and called the Fire Brigade. The fire was from hot oil etc after the car threw a rod and died without causing any further histrionics. Police called because of the slow lane closure and council incident team turned up to block off carriage way. Heyho all well and good. Thanks for attending. Upset retirees have another hour+ to wait until recovery truck is to arrive and are asked not to go back into the car and wait behind the armco (it is spitting with rain, grey and blustery). The passerby suggests that they will be better off out of the weather in the Police car or the Incident Team truck, which is not permitted by their respective employers due to insurance reasons. The AA will arrive in over a hour and they are told to wait outside. It then transpires that as the car has been reported as "on fire", the recovery will be to the nearest yard (Newark) and they will then have to find their own way home or to their destination. The AA will not take them home with their vehicle. The passerby suggests that the car and couple are taken the mile to the cafe/service area where they can await the AA in more comfortable, safer and convenient surroundings. That is not permissible. No one is permitted to enter the vehicle and a suspended tow will not be arranged. The car is left to take up one lane of the A46. The couple are to stand behind the armco for over an hour then find their own way forward. Other road users have to put up with the hazard of a lane closure. The Incident team push sawdust etc up the oil slick then retire to the cab for the duration. What is the world coming too. What would you do?

I have! But my opinion would be biased:sneaky2: or not believed! In many respects they GM and the JB do not compare with the GTM, different price, specification, build quality, support and performance all spring to mind. In fact, they do not compare!

Someone needs to get out more and broaden one's horizons!

Get On! What do you cart it about with?

I was told by a JCB fastrack specialist that in order for an ag tractor to do more than the 20mph, it should have brakes on each wheel and have full suspension to both axles. He also pointed out that Ag registered vehicles cannot do haulage as that is a different taxation class, thus, you could tow a trailer full of corn but not a low loader with a swing shovel.

better still, a GreenMech:001_tt2:

Filters generally have a number on them which should then be cross-referenced with Coopers Filters for example. Belts have a number on the back of them which give the length and profile and these can be sourced from a belt supplier near you. Failing that, go to Vermeer UK Ltd in Wellingborough. Advise is free - but parts will need to be paid for. There are bound to be members who still have 620 or 625's so post a thread!

Some years ago, I was at the council site in Luton and a travellers truck turned up loaded with conifer brash. I asked the site foreman if that was allowed and he replied. "No it isn't but what do you want me to do, tell them to get lost and then send a team out to pick it up from the nearest lay-by?"
