  1. Used to use those to stop poachers in the old days... Makes em run if you set them up sneaky...
  2. A Bandit is a good machine...and built to last. Mine was built in 1991...and has had 2 bearings and a new clutch since new.
  3. Broke the tipper on me truck...and had to let all the oil out of it to get the ram down again... The question is...where do I fill it back up again..?? Should I fill with hydraulic fluid..or oil..??
  4. It's really just a case of those who can afford to charge high prices will do so. Those who have kids and rent to pay for will go in cheaper... It's a case of needs must when the devil drives... We all have **** to pay for and if we cant afford it...then b+gger the future...
  5. required for a bandit 90.... Anyone have any idea where to get a cheap one..?? I have been quoted £500...and that sounds a bit steep.
  6. Only joking mate...any help would have been good... My feet have never been so cold... (apart from that night with the sheep in Yorkshire)...
  7. _tt2: You ****... and that's being polite....
  8. Cheers matey....doubt you could have got to me...

  10. :001_rolleyes:After driving up a road that was closed due to snowfall and drifting... I got the transit stuck.... After an hour of revving the **** out of it...I got her shifted....only to have the tipper go mad and constantly go up....even when the switch was off... So the battery went flat....in 2 foot drifts...:crying: After 3 hours.....a snow plough turned up...and gave me a jump start...:thumbup: Shame it was a 24 volt system.....:blink: So I now have a tranny...stuck miles out on the moors...in a 3 foot snow pile...with a flat battery...and melted battery wires....:cursing: That's gonna be fun to get out again...:puke:
  11. Who bothers with loler inspections anyway..??? Why do you need one..?? In 10 years I have never had one..
  12. I got one of those...didnt know it was numbered though...it's had a few coats of paint.... I presume 1 is faster than 10....
  13. What does the flowmeter look like...and which way does it turn to speed it up...??
  14. I had my saws and blowers nicked twice from outside my house in Hampshire..they were chained to the seats in a truck on my drive. I then got a steel box in the back of the van...and put them in there instead. I had the entire van stolen about a week later. None of it was seen again...van included.
  15. True that.!!! The tranny does struggle a bit on hills when it's full of chip...
