Is this purely for employees using double cab pick ups as perks? What about company owners / sole traders who use the pickups as a 2nd vehicle to tow to site and for support vehicle? What's the crack then? Is this a storm in a teacup for me or is it time to get shut of the pickup and buy something else? If tax o ly goes up 100 quid a year so be it but horrendous amounts they can bugger off

Maybe late 80's but definitely early 90-mid 90's Should be able to get parts no issue

You keep saying that so hopefully the 50p someone put in you will soon wear off...

Fat bottom girls you make the rockin' world go round

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this? I want something for the digger for clearing the tops of fields after felling Ash with dieback etc.... saw the avant rakes and seen them in digger style also wondered whats what....? Land rake buckets looked good but I think RIP grass 😂
-
I've not so long since bought a rough old grab for loading biomass logs into 40 yard bins. Don't give a toss if it bends or breaks etc that's what a welder is for. Seems more than up for the job so far. Was a cheap grab bought off face book and just welded some new brackets on
-
Yes i think I might go the lano guard route on my recently purchased pickup seems the flavour of the month at the moment
-
Using my digger the other week to get logs to the roadside so timber trailer could get to them. Then for shoving the grinder about on site. Good setup as once I had ground a few and was facing the other way the digger could back fill the other holes and tidy up as we went Vintage rules long live the old girls !

I am what I am 😂 Nothing wrong with working machines of that age. My 2.7t is a 2000 model and I've no issues. I like it's robustness. Maybe 2000-2005 ish then. Will see whats about. With regards to age, everything breaks and wears regardless of age and hours. So it's much of a muchness to me. I take pride in running older gear and earning money esp over those who are highly leveraged
-
I have a hankering for a 6t machinenin the new year. I like older stuff usually so mid to late 90' or early 2000's. Any makes or models worth a shout at this age? Budget maybe 10-12k. Nothing set in stone yet but been looking at some machines and seems achievable. Would be for a grab and shear. Maybe a flail at some point. Thanks
-
An you get a 13t digger in with a shear or grapple saw? No climbing or messing then hopefully. Then you could cut, chip and clear what's on the floor when the machines done
-
Some stumps ground out today
-
**************** me. I thought I had some animals work for me before but that's the 2023 award for worst chipper disc surely. Not surprised bearings are shot
-
Morning, Up early on a Sunday as unfortunately off out quoting as been doing 6 days a week working for a little while to get done before Xmas. Roll on Wed or Thurs this week and I've had enough
-
It's hard work really on the size and power job. Yes I do want more power but I like the overall size (and width more importantly) of my case mx110. I can get in most placed. That is doing 135hp on shaft so maybe 150hp engine. I thought the 6155 deere were OK? But you want more power? 😂 lads local to me run them and have them chipped up and like them. They've just swapped an older one in for a 6185. About 130-135k though ouch! Either way, more power for road work is always a bonus
-
Timber off site today to clear the ground
-
I did something similar years ago but not with a mulcher.. Test driving a mf399 I bought off someone on here and the side panel dropped off on the road Test 😂 luckily wasn't run over so put it back on
