That sellers got a blue 1200 for sale too

I was tempted to make an offer, let me know if you're selling it again, been looking for one for a while, it'd suit my work almost perfectly i think

Very nice greencotom, was that on eBay a while ago? Remember seeing one with green sides for about 8k

Im guessing this great idea is also appropriate to those of us overseas? seeing as stolen equipment is often put in containers?

Also seen 6x6 sprinters on trial last year or year before last too, looked like prototypes, maybe the g wagon won the contract? The land cruiser, if as good as everyone makes out sounds like a long term, owner operator investment. If the single cab, as in the picture below was available for 25k+Vat new price id be tempted As it is next year ill be looking for a 2-3year old (near half new price here) 3.0D auto hilux. I don't know why people get hung up on vehicles having a bit of bling. Imo although i will be driving it in saw trousers, wet coats and leak sawdust all over it, i don't see why i can't go to and from site sat in heated leather seats, with built in satnav showing me the way, listning to music through quality speakers travelling in comfort. realistically for me and most arbs offroad is across grass lawns, farm tracks, meadows, and snow/ice etc.

Saw 10 of them in convoy last week

1st post, 7th pic down on this thread, it really can make a difference to how hard or violent something falls be it a top, stem or tree

I wonder if the new defender will match the Jap stuff in comfort and interior space? or if it'll be like pervious defenders and 10-15years out of date with no elbow room still Be nice if they offered 2 engine options too, the green box ticking stressed out 2liter, but a 3.0v6 would be nice

Cheers Dave

Looking through yesterday's pics, thought this was cool, the avant looks like a toy!

Different sites, still in Stockholm, soon won't be any left! Not sure on age but surprisingly big rings, guess around 80-100, was an enjoyable tree for sure

Another decent sized elm bites the dust

And one of the trucks I call out when needed

This is the one like yours I used to drive

The cranes too small for dismantles tbh. You'll be on max reach then need to lift higher which you don't have the capacity to do, if you do need to strop something you can still do that with the grab on. The grab makes loading and unloading so quick and easy especially if on your own. You can also do things like grabbing whole hawthorn trees to take to the yard and burn rather than mess about chipping them. As long as the boom is leaven when loaded you shouldn't have a problem as it won't be any higher (I had it pointing a bit up when it sat on a big load and clipped a petrol station roof once!) You'll find so many advantages to having a grab and rotator

Nice truck billy! I used to drive one near identical to that, get a grab and rotator and you'll never understand how you managed without! Looks like it's pipped for it too

So having a discussion on a discussion forum is unbelievable? Or should arbtalk be called Arbfacts? Here's a statement, don't question it!

The winners maximum bid was 25.69, otherwise the next bid after eagleyes maximum bid of 25.67 would be 26.67-1 pound higher Assuming there's only 2bidders I guess? Would that make a difference?

I think he meant the increments are 1 pound a go, so a winning bid 2p higher than his maximum means the winners highest bid was only 2p higher

Haha, seen the sellers name? (Axmen)

Are you looking at brand new or used paul? The older transit connects are good vans to drive, highish driving position, but fuel economy is pretty poor (i got low 20s towing a 500kg grinder) avg 35-40 mixed driving heavy right foot. cheaper build quality means ime things went wrong quicker than expected. the last one i used regularly had 120k miles and was soon scrapped, despite being one owner from new. the new ones however i heard are top of their class in mpg. older vauxhall combo 1.3diesel was pretty good on fuel, especially if driven sensibly, not as much room in the cabin as the transit and low driving position. cheap and economical. older caddys, well its vw, you pay significantly more even 2nd hand but you get what you pay for, don't like the interiors much, very bland, the life edition is useful with rear seats, and if black with heavily tinted windows, still looks like a caddy van, pretty useful. think it was a 1.6petrol a previous company had. old partner/berlingo, dated, can't remember/diddnt take notice of mpg, don't like them. the new versions defiantly worth a look, 3 seats upfront on some models, quite crampt unless theres just 1 passenger then its roomy. the newer caddy and berlingo/partner is on my shortlist of next work vehicle if i can ever decide what suits my needs, them or a hilux which is more of a want than a need!

Wow only 68! Nicely done Tom!

Excellent sounds very efficient peter

Ive seen basic alaskan milled coffee tables go for more than 200! To the right buyer the first one over a grand imo That style is hugely popular in the states
