Maybe they should go and nick some pikeys when they’re told there’s £10,000’s worth of freshly nicked gear in their camps then. Or pull the pricks when they’ve got a 2t digger on the back of a Transit towing a 5t trailer. Too much like hard work? OK, let’s target the people who have already proven they’re law-abiding. Easy money!

Paul, send me a video of you reverse loading your wheeled stand on mini loader up ramps into a truck so I can see how to do it please. Ta.

That’s not the point Matty. It should be about £50 for a renewal, they literally do f-all. The police can ****************k off, they’re stupidly inefficient, corrupt and lazy. If it is costing them £400 every time they should look inwards, not outwards.
-
That’s certainly dealt with.

It’s too much now, let alone increasing it. What did I get for my last renewal in November? For £200 including doctors letter. A 5 minute telephone interview with an idiotic policeman who mainly asked me questions he already knew the answers to, because nothing had changed and if it had I would have been legally bound to tell them. Cabinet, guns, security etc. Then started waffling about ‘convictions I hadn’t told them about’. Turns out they were a couple of incidents I was questioned about over 20 years ago, but being innocent I was never even charged, let alone convicted. I’ve held a shotgun certificate for over 35 years! Told him to get his facts straight next time. Where is my money going? I’m tempted to say my guns have been nicked and just keep them illegally next time round. Labour won’t be in power then though.

Looks good to me mate! Put another pic up after it has flushed, I’m sure it will do really well.
-
The list is literally endless Alex. The main item is learning from someone who actually knows how to do the job properly.
-
True, but it feels far more likely that something will go wrong if you reverse load it! You aren’t meant to be stood on the machine when either loading or unloading, forwards or backwards.
-
Pins drop through holes in the ramp ends and through holes drilled in the bed.
-
Good stuff Hank. Looks like the tree it was hung up in didn’t suffer too much either.
-
I hear that reverse loading these machines is a good idea. Presumably by people who have never tried it. It feels as sketchy as hell. Much easier forward, walking up with a foot on each ramp behind the machine as doobin says.
-
Sorted!
-
This is my set up. It’s never been a problem with the standard tyres. I’ll drill a couple more holes in the bed for the ramp pins to budge them out a bit so they’re centred on the fatter tyres.
-
A fitting tribute I feel Sir!
-
They’ve got 21psi in them. @william127 do you load your Giant up ramps? Any tips?
-
Success with the Big Boy tyres yesterday. Only downsides so far are the obvious overall width increase, and it seemed more twitchy going up the ramp. That was on the plant trailer. I’m going to have to be extra careful loading up the truck ramps.

DBH was on point Jesse! Amazing.

New big boy tyres on the Worky Quad made for an easy day. 150m drag, 2 truck loads.

Hornbeam shape will be nice in leaf Mick. And that’s all I’ve got to say about that.

OK then, we’ll all stop doing it.
