  2. Will you not eat well into that £1800 price difference by the time you are finished though? Ram, hydraulic pack, battery, steel for new sub chassis, strengthening of existing chassis (important one) consumables etc, not to mention time. And when you are finished it, it isnt going to be worth anything near as much as a purpose built tipper.
  3. What they really mean is 'there's good and bad in everyone and YOU should welcome them', because I have more than a sneaky feeling that they would not want them on their doorstep either.
  4. Couldnt agree more. Highly stupid and insensitive comment tbh.
  5. I also bought one today and tried it out, very impressive for the money tbh.
  6. She looks a tidy machine, and if the hours are genuine, she is probably worth it. If you intend doing roadwork, the non turbo models (as she is) were very dead and could smell a hill.
  7. If I remember right, 1995 was the jubilee year. I never drove a powershift 3cx, but a standard Project 8 from 1993. A great machine IMO and very little to go wrong.
  8. I have heard in the past that skokbord can distort a lot due to sun etc. So much so that it can shear the tek screws!
  9. I wouldnt be overly gone on the way of working there. I have a pto saw and I never put my hand on the right hand side of the blade or never see the need to. Horses for courses though.
  10. Post says he fitted a new battery 6 months ago.
  11. Shouldnt you narrow it down a bit mate? There are loads of MF Industrial loader models to choose from, or will any model from any era do?
  12. <p>Sorry, I have already sold it to a guy that contacted me first. Thanks.</p>

  13. I have a new one here that I bought a few years ago, never took it out of the box because I sold the pick up before I got round to fitting it! If anyone wants to make me an offer on it, I will look into what it would cost to send it over from Ireland to the UK. The weak Euro should make it cheap for you UK guys now!
  14. Brian james tipper is approx 23.5 inches, I dont think anyone beats that.
  15. Truck Pick-up Crane with Cable Winch Lifting Loading and Unloading Tools Goods | eBay or cheaper again... https://www.vidaxl.co.uk/p/210049/truck-pick-up-crane-with-cable-winch
  16. I know many on here love the horizontal splitters, but vertical is the only type I would buy. Vertical splitter = horizontal table, and thats the best way for any table IMO!
  17. This is excellent news Paul. After nearly 2.5 years of this thread, its great that we have reached the final chapter. Enjoy your ape movie.
  18. The 12x12 shuttle is nothing to fear really, alright that little spring can go and its a splitting job to replace it, but I would still buy one without hesitation.
  19. You wont go wrong with the 399, reliable tractors with no electrics to give bother. They can often be bought cheaper than the smaller 390T
  20. The biggest problem you will have is that these cabs are sought after for refitting to 100 series etc and a breaker is going to be slow to sell the back window off a cab. This guy might be worth a call as a long shot. Super Duncan cabsFor Sale in Kerry - DoneDeal.co.uk He travels to the UK quite often to auctions etc, and has been involved in the business for years. Otherwise, just get a fabricator to make a frame, get a glass fitted to it.
  21. I have read this thread from day one and it is certainly entertaining, but I'll bet most of the people clapping Paul on the back for putting all his 'adventures' on this thread have a healthy wage packet coming in every week from their various jobs, business's etc, and most will have their own homes too. Unless I am very much mistaken, this thread isnt putting food on Paul's table or paying any bills. I think the occasional post like 'mountain man's' may well do Paul a favour in the long term, it keeps things real. I wish you all the best Paul
  22. I have only ever seen videos of them, they seem a very efficient machine, but the end product is not very nice, it seems to split everything. Lots of kindling after it methinks.
  23. I couldnt agree more, I have one of these in petrol format and it is a horrible thing to move even the smallest of distances. Other than that, I am glad I went petrol even though I do have a tractor. If you intend using it on different sites, you are either going to need a good roadworthy tractor, or something like a compact tractor that you can tow behind a 4x4 etc. In your position a road towable petrol would be my choice, I indend to convert my one to road tow.
