Good on him.... But whats the point in having a lot of numbers in the bank? I think its important to have a healthy savings account, but also enjoy yourself. Could get hit by a bus tomorrow, then, lying on his deathbed, be kicking himself for not enjoying those numbers - you can't take it with you!

The Chestnut Tree, West Wratting, Cambs. Got/had a young horse chestnut outside too. Only went there once, done a job nearby, smashed out a widow re-pollard in the rain by lunch, we only went in for a half and to warm up I have a vague memory of snakebites, a round of sambucas, playing pool doubles with the brunette barmaid being the 4th player, then being sent on an emergency in Letchworth, Passing my mate in royston dressed up on his heavy horses for a funeral or wedding giving me a scornful look for beeping and waving from the lorrys cab filled with smoke from a workmates "roll ups". Spiking up an ash in the dark-6pm? heavy rain, to remove a broken top hanging over a 600year old house (back another day to fell, honest) Ahh those were the days ^^ note the blushing smiley

For what its worth, a mate with a machinery dealership has an amorak and has no end of gearbox problems due to towing. The new (at least this years) hilux can be uprated to tow 3.5tonnes, the dealer quoted me about 2.5k to do so.

The 2.5 had 2 possible power variants, 102 and 143bhp iirc They're seriously solid trucks though, one of the local company's had a hilux and navara new, navara lasted 2 years with a heap of problems, hilux 8 without problem, replaced with 2 new ones I looked at the older ones before buying new, twice the price of same age navaras etc but with good reason IMO

Awesome pics! Where'd you go?

Beechwood can't be too far from you with their Hiab lorry? I think they even have a few different beds so they could drop off a bed or two for you and the crane (?) to load up and pick the smaller dia stuff with the lorrys hiab off the deck

Brake disc scam here too, I fitted new pads and discs 6months previous, took it (mondeo) in for a wheel bearing, got a call to say the rear discs were shot it'd only be an hours labour, if I came back another day it's be at least 2 Told them it's something I can do myself, (And I diddnt believe they were shot) 2weeks later it passed it's MOT (same as op, not even worn a lip in)

I would guess the pto is powered by a hydraulic motor so just like any other hydraulic powered attatchments?

Ditto Scotts comments. clumpy and heavy Airstreams for me at the moment, won a pair of husqvarna technical extreme boots shortly after buying the meindls, as comfy as the airstreams but with higher ankle support. only worn a handfull of times as they're my "reserve" boots, seem good though, worth a look.

I believe some of the multione loaders have an oscillating central joint (think that's what it's called) which would be a big advantage on uneven ground
