@Gabriel82 those lorries are too big for round where I operate. I haven't outgrown the transit, I think they do take some beating, it's a tried and tested set up that has worked for many people for many years. Land rovers is a path I had thought about but I reckon you could pick up a mog for a similar value. L/R parts are cheap and plentiful obviously, similar to transit in that respect and also the rust can be an issue, again similar to a transit. Turning circle not that great. Long bonnet, small cab. I currently have a 1970 reliant scimitar (not as my work truck), maybe I could sell that and get a small mog and have it as a bit of a side project.

Working on the day of rest, well I never! 😀 Getting the fire going then a quick spin on the bike. After that feed up at the farm and check the stock, maybe my wife will do that. Then out to the rugby club. Kids have matches then back home to probably play monopoly, the kids have gone mad on it!

Running a 2006 transit is cheap motoring but it does always seem to have a problem. Rather handy on the spanners. I never see mogs around these parts. There was some up on the brendon hills that ended up in a farm sale, prices were insanely high! One was an old sprayer with tank on the back. I had seen it parked in a hedge 10 years previously, the chassis had rotted right through in one place, that still sold for a couple of grand! The other, a square cab, cab quite rusty, went inter stellar

Looks good but way off the mark in terms of size.

I always think the best option would to get parcels delivered by royal mail as they are coming here anyway. Delivery of letters here in porlock is bang on.

Been using my husky battery stuff for a couple of years recently the pole saw, one cut it worked the next it did not, same battery fine in the hedge trimmer so battery seemingly okay. Saw climber used it for one cut, then went to gob another piece and it just stopped again. These things are great when they are going but somewhat frustrating when they stop with no warning or reason.

Unimogs looks good but have never been that involved with them and always thought they were expensive, big and complicated. Watching some vids on YouTube it would appear not all mogs are ginormous, they have a good turning circle and, the older ones, look like simple machines to maintain. I don't need pto, although if it's there I could find a use, don't need to pull massive trailers. What I do need is low box and 4wd and low box. A lot of steep driveways round here, currently hitting them at ramming speed in the transit or burning the clutch out. It would be to replace the transit, I only did 1000 miles in that last year, lot of local miles. Do you reckon an old mog can fit the bill?

I see chris gill has a luvely looking mog trailer and chipper for sale .. little bit out of my price range but does look like a tidy rig!

Net zero is a load of crap, climate change is not. Government getting rid of all industry and then announcing their carbon credentials and then condemning the countries to which they have framed out the industry. It's an absolute shiteburg. Real action will not be popular and it is surprising that labour have reeled back on where the conservatives were. I thought the conservatives were a load of toss then steps up sir kier starmer- what a guy. Bring back Corbyn I say.

Working for a mate today, three other chaps on site, all called Sam!
