  12. my old neighbour had one for years always working away in salty conditions never seemed to have much go wrong
  13. that old conveyor belts? nifty idea
  14. lookin good
  15. this being the minefield that its is straight forward info seems few and far between but from what i can see from this from atkinson vos ltd ''Unimogs are usually registered as agricultural tractors, which means that road tax is currently free for the year. The use of red diesel in some cases is also applicable, but this is largely dependent on the kind of work you are doing. Our Unimogs are generally imported from the Continent and can have age related number plates, or can be registered on a "Q" plate.'' seems to sugest actual activaty engaged in is more to do with legit use of the red stuff rather than anything else i.e you must be ploughing a field etc to use red which as i said doesnt come in to this so it should be fine to have it ag reg'd on white?
  16. well the o licence will be present as i said we are council guys and some of our guys have c1 licences but according to the spec on that mog we've all been drooling over its 9.3t ?
  17. will NOT be on red as stated at begining, i don't know if it helps but we are the forestry section and refered to as such officially in paperwork, job description etc, in all things about various exemptions etc the description goes 'Vehicles used solely for the purpose of agriculture, horticulture and forestry' ?
  18. thats stevie hailes mog he does training at the barony
  19. probably some copper going ooh theres one of those chippy things must be it! haha
  20. well we only work within edinburgh council district a radius of about 10 miles and never travel on motorways anyway and being a council, tax,mot,insurance not an issue,its more whether legal as regards carrying a load and the licencing issue? like i said any load we would carry would be from our land to our yard kinda thing
  21. ag reg mogs, now two things here before i start... 1. this has NOTHING to do with RED diesel all our vehicles inc tractors run WHITE. 2. the ONLY things we carry are from-to our own yard-sites NOTHING for hire/reward, selling, private customers etc. we are local authority what i want to know is can we run agri reg'd mogs? there is a slim possibility we may get one, our boss is interested as it would mean we could drive them without the need for higher licences, im not sure anyone got any ideas? AGAIN THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RUNNING ON RED!!
  22. jus wondering whats this when its at home
  23. love it when we're burning elm in allotments baking an apple over the embers at lunch yum also cooked a pie by stuffing it under the turbo heat shield on the landy
