  1. Legally you can do what you want, as long as it meets EC94/20 standards. What you’re proposing is almost certainly WAY over these standards. Proving it? Different ball game re legality, insurance (and yes, you have to tell your insurer) etc. Electrics as well can be a legal/ins nightmare. I’d lay it off to a pro company. £200 fun project to £1000 wallet buster. Sorry, just being honest.
  2. This is where people f up. The grab makes the machine. No one sells them ‘due to upgrade’ because any grab on these titchy machines is maxed out already. Any grab is better than no grab, but if you find anything for less than £2k you’ve done well.
  3. On the internet.
  4. Have you seen the shit about Starmer saying you will be charged £85 every time you are asked for this ID and don’t produce it? Good luck with that one nonce friend.
  5. We know who the tool is. It’s really important that we just all say f off.
  6. Mesterh would like it if there was only one word, so he could get the occasional 3.

  8. And blatantly Yank words like DOOZY.
  9. I would think the tendons in your forearms will soon be a much more important issue.
  10. Don’t care if we did, they started it.

  12. Public opinion percolated through to them eventually.
  13. Animal.
  14. You will find them much more hard wearing.
  15. Steve’s is even more unhappy than mine!
  16. Arse. Wordle 1,586 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜
  17. Looks great Tom. I’ve always thought spending money on a decent grab is a wise investment. No point having 17” guns if you’ve got baby hands!
  18. That is exactly the problem. It’s like Reg’s bollard with the crank handle. It works, but you’re constantly resetting the capture pulley. Endless is what’s needed, but a £3.5k GRCS is sledgehammer to crack a nut territory for a lot of our jobs.
  19. Defo give NFU a shout then mate. You also have to remember a lot of people probably don’t declare any modifications to their insurers which probably isn’t the wisest move.
  20. I know it’s not what you’ll want to hear Conner, but I wouldn’t bother converting a double cab to a tipper. Got to be king cab to avoid a ludicrously small payload. Lad round here spent £6k converting his and bitterly regrets it.

  23. China do need picking on. They are still by far the largest polluter on the planet, mainly from burning fossil fuels.
