  1. i have a restricted o license... no hassle so far in a year.. been stopped twice by vosa and didnt ask what i was doing with load on back... have checks every 8 weeks but could be as long as 12 depending what mileage you do... what does annoy me is having a trailer checked every 8 weeks when its not moved an inch from last time it was checked.... not so much the cost but the hassle.... have 3 trailers now + unit so its at least a day or more to run them back and forth...
  2. i'll message costs etc

  9. i have one less than half that size.. no shelves in it... can get 2 660's... 2 441's and a topping saw with a bit of wriggling.. was payed to lift it out of an old barclays bank window with a fofklift and take it away.... we took the door off which took 4 of us to lift.. then fofklifted it into our workshop doorway and lowered it on scaffold tube and pushed it into place.. god no's how we'd get it out again
  10. spot on i'd say..
  11. and more importantly you need to make your yard bigger to get those butts in!!
  12. we had two 7710's.. same as 7700.. theu used to pull 6 ton single axle salop grain trailers no probs... when i think back it amazes me how we used to do the work we did with them.... they were 2 main tractors on 800 acres arable and inthose days large contracting business,, they would pull 4 furrow reversible plough to help out the 1184 county then after the county a ford 8210.. the 7710's used to do thousands round bales then most of cultivation work with a 4m wilder pressure harroow/4m springtine or 3m power harrow.. while the other one did all the spraying with a 12m allman front and rear tank sprayer.. both had dual wheels fitted to rear when needed.. the one my dad drove then me when i left school used to clock up over 1500 hrs ayear as it also did all the hedge cutting.. the other used to do a 1000... they both hhad porous blocks at 2500 hrs as did the county... apart from that they were brilliant little tractors...
  13. thats what we have at stokenchurch.. just off j5 M40... womaqn who owns the transport cafe there has fed them in car park foy yrs.. dozens upon dozens in the sky..
  14. they are in big no's in our area... counted 12 above my head last yr while mowing a grass field.. not far from me in princess risborough is where a lot were released into the wild few yrs back...
  15. perhaps the chassis was extended on the fastrac giving more room for a chip box... seen it done with a lime spreader mounted on the back..
  16. where abouts in devon are you..??
  17. hello clive.. tried to call you back no answer mate.. i'll try again in morning.
  18. must be very leanient EA officers thats all i can say... they call on us at least once a fortnight now... cant burn a single thing except from tree branches from trees off the farm.. need an excemptioin cert for hardcore and burnoff tarmac.. they want to see duty care tickets for where the hardcore has come from.. and under no circumstances can we store wood chip that is to be resold off site.. only way we can store it is for use on the land.. me and the old man have had 2 sepereat interviews each at there head office in hatfield all under caution and taped..
  19. i bought 3 propertys in 2005/6.. no accounts.. just a building society payin in book to show income of some sort.. put 30% down on each and was peice cake.. that was then.. house prices were going up so much on a monthly basis that my first house i bought in early 2005 had gone up by nearly £20.000 in few months from offer being accepted to completion.. 7 yrs later its still worth the same. as are all the others.. i'm lucky i live in a good area where house prices have stayed at same level. some have gone up.. others inc mates mine have not been so lucky and although not looking at negative equity would loose 10's thousands if they were to sell now..
  20. the land cruiser colarado is what your talking about.. cant be compared to an amazone in any way.... but havin said that they'd be miles in front of any disco... anything with a landrover badge is fit for one thing and thats the scrap yard.. in last 2 yrs i had a sport [disco3]. td6 range rover and a late 90... all gone now.. landcruiser amazone.. audi Q7 and newer tansit tipper..never known so newer cars spend so much time at main dealers... my amazone is a mint 99 T reg with just turnt 70k miles. it had done 53k when i bought it a yr ago and has never once been to a main agent.. or any garage. only for brakes etc..
  21. my 75E17 skip lorry does around 20..
  22. waited till 6 last nite till ground dried off a bit then went fertilisin till 11pm. did nearly 300 acres then was 2 bags short to finish last 40 acres.. made good mess in places but its been crying out for it for last 3 weeks.
