  2. Here we go https://cg-machinery.co.uk/machines/case-1056-xl-tractor-for-sale-8995-00vat/
  3. What do you boys put down for chip box? Modification ? Sick of getting shafted. Wouldn't mine paying my sort of money if my policy was anyone over the age of 25 could drive them
  4. Bugger! 66 plate master tipper and a 60 plate ford ranger. Me and my dad on insurance 1600 off quidi thi k it was last year with Aviva. 10yrs on one and 8 NCB on other. 8k miles each
  5. I'll be looking into this later in the year, nov i think mine is..... Pita is this van ins thing.... plenty of ncb on both my vehicles here but still a lot of money. Problem with tippers and us is the backs we have for signs and keeping chip in... Modification. most companies see it as a cash cow. Im currently with aviva and being lazy i've renewed for the past 4 years ... Maybe not this year! I wouldn't mind paying 500-600 each vehicle but mines a lot more. Maybe im being persecuted for being young? that said.... better to be young and paying more lol
  6. Theres a lot to be dismantled in a domestic setting though Bob. I've to look at some this weekend and taken a few down allready
  7. Balls to what the mrs thinks..... mine didn't like mine either. I one took a bird out on a date in mine.... drove 50 mile to blackpool in it lol and back

    Vermeer sc252 clutch

    No, just go to Vermeer. I had to put one on mine few years back 400 odd quid. Expensive but you'll be back.up.and running
  12. Still looking and sat on the fence waiting for something here as well. Paris tractors get some nice clean examples in
  13. Im pretty pissed off to be fair, i sent a tpo app in first of april.... they said registered 14th, rang them up and said you had it on the 1st and we shouldnt miss out on 2 weeks. They agreed to back date it to the first. Letter said decision by 10th june!!!! 10th june comes ran up later that week, they havent even been out to look at the tree yet. Rang last thurs 11th July and they still havent been out yet. Piss taking sods. any advice? Im annoyed but customer will be seething!
  14. I wouldnt mess about just buy the rc3001. Thats what i use andnits spotnon
  15. That using a rc3001 and winch or you talking gcrs?
  16. Now wheres that beautiful place? looks a nice spot. Was it felling into the wind?
  17. Massey helping out on site the other day
  18. Now I like that!
  19. Id get some fabticated. They wont be that hard to do for someone with a sheet metal bender and a mig.... only steel at the end of the day
  20. Well i thinknits rotten to bomb all that shit off for one groundy. And more work for a climber to cut and chuck all that and tiring.
  21. The jensen a530t did one with a tilt bed also.... I run a old jensen a530t its a vari track and tiltbed. Getting a bit worn though to be fair though done a lot of hours
  22. Handy little trailer at times this is
  23. Yes there is this. All will slow up on certain hills. local lads running dump trailers can get up to 32mph on a flat but hit this certain hill and are just about keeping hold of 12mph coming out the top. Its not a massive steep hill to be fair but its constant
  24. Old is gold and all but today theres so many better things out there without going to new. nostalgia can lead you astray. I can assure you if you have to do multiple trips in my tractor per day you feel like youve worked hard. Time is money nowadays.
  25. My current tractor has a 6cyl turbo fitted
