    cant beat the diesel estate and pick up combo: I picked up an old 306 1.9D for 100 quid on ebay, flat as a witches tit but I say to the wife if she wants a good time we'll go out out in the 'two seater' (Isuzu Rodeo 3.0d single cab) Needless to say we have many quiet nights in....

    I agree with this as I'm sure I used to shift more logs when I had a double cab pick up before I got a single as people simply had to part with less money I think. I may even go into nets or barrow bags next year The joys of dealing with the public...

    Unless you can keep it moving and making decent wedge the bureaucracy nowadays is only going to get worse and put off more and more drivers and operators alike. That said, maybe I ought to speak to the bank as there maybe room for another one man band timber haulier around here?

    Buy a six wheeler TCD and i'll come and drive it for you....hours of fun shifting those piles

    might tidy her up and put her on ebay and/or arbtrader soon. Would like a double cab model of similar age but manual without silly miles on but might be hard to come by.

    I really didn't think it would be worth more than what I paid for it

    Did you manage to get a manual as all I could find when I was looking for mine were autos

    Was that a single cab?
  10. adowning7
    I bought it with 47k on about 18 months ago for 5k but I've put a few more log dents in the side of it. Cracking truck but with the little one a single cab isn't ideal now

    I am thinking of selling up some of my kit and as the title its the 3.0d manual 4 x 4 with off road tyres, ifor canopy and I've just put 58k on it. Has anyone bought or sold or seen one for sale in the past few months? They are nowhere to be seen on ebay or autotrader Thanks in advance

    As long as you got paid by the developer for building the set rather than the taxpayer then no problems but man exterminated the natural predator for the badger ie wolf/lynx so we should be responsible for controlling their numbers? much the same as deer? left for a few more years they will be worse than buzzards?

    7901 is marmite and you will get one probably in 100 which is as good as yours. Most either fall to bits or implode 441 all the way, I've got the C-M and its the favourite of all saws I've ever owned. Each to their own and all that!

    Classic. The beer tax must be hitting some folk....

    I appreciate that farmers put food on our tables but what I don't appreciate is then constantly feeling that they are hard done by given that they get all sorts of tax relief ie the red derv, business rate relief, VAT exemption etc. I have to put food on my families' table without such relief so don't get to drive around on brand new machinery. I could ramble on for hours about the fact that you will never find a poor farmer

    Will check the details in the morning but I'm sure the old man drove it down the motorway without a class 2 licence when he bought it and he should have had one. Its the Merc engine which sounds lovely and that's about all I can say for a minute....

    No derail intended but the UK contribution to the CAP comes out of VAT, so when I am at the builders merchants or off licence a small percentage of the VAT is subsidising farmers who all have newer pick ups and tractors than me but when I want to nip to the quarry and get some concrete dust for a landscaping job with the tractor and trailer its illegal but if I am a farmer and I want to put it in my gateways its legal to run on red? Then to kick us in the teeth the farmer then claims VAT back on everything?! Here here on a level playing field

    I was tempted to strip the picker off it and build something rustic but have not got time. The engine is sweet as a nut still its just a ropey brakes and fuel system that lets it down. Shed stored for the last few years so minimal rust, I suppose its the haulage that buggers it

    I thought I would give you good folk on here first refusal before dealing with the 'classic ebayers' She's a gem

    Dear all One cherry picker which is currently a yellow roundabout and I'm sick of driving around it. Brakes non-existent, fuel tank is a 40 gallon drum in the back of it but other than that not a bad shed. Located near Ivybridge, Devon. Open to offers 07917 678535 Would put full postcode but I'm afraid that I would get prosecuted if someone got mauled by a pack of angry dogs

    I couldn't a agree more I have the IM350+ which has fired over 25,000 nails in the past two years and I still haven't had it serviced. Worth every penny to a point where I don't keep any mandraulic nails anymore, just a selection box of different sizes for every job.

    hayes are the ones with the ally clamps, good but pricey
  25. adowning7
    I have a fair few but not thousands of metres of stock fencing to do for a gamekeeper, anyone recommend a set of clamps for someone on a budget and not in a rush? Have used the red ones with the ally clamps but they are a fair investment and can't remember the make Thanks
