  1. Liking the tractor handbrake! been thinking of buying an old foden with a crane on, is it worth having one? what use do you put to?

     

    it gets used mostly by nesting birds during spring/summer, occasionally the birds let us use it for shifting machinery and timber, its surprising where they will put a nest, last year there was one on top of the rad so we have to check carefully for them. i'd say anything with a working crane is worth it, and pretty cool too:thumbup:

  2.  

    i have decided that after a year and not hearing anythink back from them that i would take the oppertunity to hand the boots back to Work Wear when i visit the AA arb show this weekend .

     

    my bro talked to a guy who sold them at apf 2x ago, when my bro pointed out what they looked like after 2mths normal use he said- 'it looks like you have been abusing them, i dont think you appreciate the technology that has gone into producing them'. funny how we don't appreciate them when we spend so much on them, jumped up little shoe man needs to get back in his workshop and make them properly! we demand the best, pay for the best.. and don't recieve the best! rant over:001_smile:

  3. Yeah they ara but alot of fun aswell was in a 2.8 tonne few weeks ago had it resting on it blade all the way down and the tracks at the back were 5' in the air came crashing down and I bounced if the rood won't do that again !

     

    same digger, baby driving.. no dramas:thumbup:

  4. I'm bit gutted as my size13's ain't cheap.Hope local cobbler can glue it as the soles and everything else look brand new.

     

    managed to squeeze a reply from haix lastyear about this, they said i should find a competent cobbler who will use antistatic glue, replacement soles are available:001_smile:

  5. i was looking for a quad to skid logs out of my little wood when i got offered this, for the work i have found for it, it suits me better than a quad, carries and tips everything thats been put on it, slower than a quad but can shunt heavy trailers all day long with pinpoint precision.(even reversing two trailers at once), low ground pressure is a plus but it does belly out occasionally.:001_smile:

  6. yesterday i snapped a bleed screw after changing fuel filters on my tw190:blushing:, (it felt a bit duff last time i tightened it) i called Alan at UNI-POWER on 01371 875331, he emailed me a parts diagram to ensure the correct bits were ordered, had them all in stock, also ordered a set of genuine kubota filters and they were on my doorstep in less than 24hrs! they don't just sell kubota parts but many more too. :thumbup1:Universal Engine Power Ltd (Uni-Power) Honda,Briggs,Kubota,Lombardini,Kohler...
