  1. the 8x5 tows fine behind a ranger, but earlier rangers can't tow them "legally" fully loaded So depends what year you have
  2. You no longer have to downplate trailers, just keep them under the towing limit of the truck
  3. Sorry I should have linked to this Just to add to that, the raised lip that joins the aluminum floor to the steel floor is now starting to get bent from loading pallets and pallet bearers resting on it, I really need to ply line the floor when I get time
  4. I have a new type ifor 10x5 tipper, it's a complete pile of festering shite, it's for sale to anyone who is stupid enough to buy it. Did I mention it's a pile of festering crap ?
  5. That looks an arse Top marks to who ever done it for fairly uniform missed strips through their length, sadly not quite so uniform in the width missed strips though
  6. nice bit of engineering dean. But do bandit just take whatever paint comes along
  7. It a 1990 S3 It has had 916 front forks put on it and has micron pipes which will go as soon as I can find a s/h set of genuine pipes, although it does sound pretty good with them on
  8. After trying a custom for a while I have decided it really isn't for me so went and treated myself to this last week 1990 851 not totaly original at the moment but I will work to put it back to original in time. So if anyone is interested in a 06 xvs650 with only 400 miles on it let me know

  10. whether you will get a penny for it will all depend on the wording of your tenancy agreement, and even then if the ammount isn't agreed by the tenant then it will be decided by the adjudication service (depending where the deposit is held), and from bitter experience the best of luck if it goes up that route.
  11. Feeling really sorry for you Sadly the chances of them being caught are zilch
  12. The best advise I can give is find a good hypnotherapist and get them to teach you self hypnosis. Be very carefull of doctors with some of the drugs they may use to help you out, sure go get checked out, that can't do you any harm at all, thats imo of course. Whatever you do don't do nothing.
  13. They are on ebay now Le-Criquet Still no pictures or video of one at work yet though from what I can see, which I would have thought if they were trying to sell them would be the least they would do to help sales.
  14. I have owned several same's and zetors and although the zetors are reliable the same's are a good all round tractor and much nicer to work in and on imo but as said above a little noisy. My current explorer2 90hp has nearly 10k hours on it and it's still in excellent mechanical condition but it's bodywork is getting really tatty now. The economy PTO on some same's is really handy if you are doing saw/processor work as you can run 540 pto speeds at a touch over tickover
  15. My mad cocker spaniel "Willow" she is a cracking dog but it's a wonder she is still alive as she eats anything and everything.

  17. The best pic I have of it is this but it's a different thing entirely
  18. Sold my quadtech box for £130 iirc on ebay, it was a fairly tatty one and was with a full length ladder rack
  19. The AT2 is now the old original AT pattern but apparently is only available in certain "commercial" sizes due to EU legislation on tyre noise Hence the new AT pattern
  20. The AT is crap, I had them fitted to my ranger last year and it now could'nt pull the skin off a rice pudding, also get a bit of wander with them. AT2's are much better grippers imo
  21. Service metals are pretty good for such stuff they also do fibreglassed ply sheets servicemetals
  22. If it's a 3500 gvw some brands are running close to thier max weight rating when loaded, bfg's are fine weight rating wise
  23. It's all in here ifor trailer thread
  24. If it has to be an ifor then do yourself a favour and go find a nice secondhand earlier model would be my advise.
  25. Looks like a nicely done job, what track unit is that built on ?
