Looks like it's had suspension upgrade to 3500kg but they.ve forgot to upgrade GTW on Vin plate? Has it got a LR Special vehicles plate on it? Or been privately upgraded? Good luck.

It was a Readymix lorry now Cemex that ran over the woman's son, they ignored her calls for warnings so she bought shares in Readymix and stood up at the shareholders AGM and gave a speech that shamed the lot of them! EVERY Cemex lorry has great big signs on the left now!

Stihl dynamic are good mid range with rear zip vents, close fitting but too short in leg for me! Got engelbert Strauss which come in long leg at same price and very good too.

Tanaka worth a look, we.ve had em years. Japanese throughout and normal 2 stroke engines.

Talking to a lorry mechanic the other day, ambulance service bought 50 spinters and load of 'same' crafters. All the crafters are rubbish and they are pulling the bodies off to put on sprinters! They are NOT the same anymore.

One of my dads mates (luckily working for council) drove a platypus anchor through a fibre optic cable and cut off town centre phones and cash machine!!!! Be careful driving steel into unknown ground!

Farmers weekly just reviewed Stihl, oregon, makita, bosch, husky, cutting telegraph poles, Stihl battery twice life of rest, bosch best value for small saw. Only really useful for quick odd cuts like hedge-laying, fence posts or reductions with lot of climbing between cuts.

Stihl Dynamics seem good for me £100-120, fit me better than Hi-flex (crotch too low), very comfy, rear zip vents, good pockets, but I only wear em couple days a week.

I know that as a sylvester?? It is a heavy winch system using chains, commonly used in mining for tensioning conveyor belts etc. You anchor the bar, insert chain in th recess, operate lever to pull chain, there should be another chain gripper on a short length of chain which is used to hold tension, so you can grip the chain further along and pull again. My dad used to use 2 in tandem to pull trees over.

If you only worked for one firm for years, then technically, you are not a subby and should be on their books. (The tax man don't like it!!). So tell your boss you would be better, legally, to work for a few different customers, or the tax man will be after National insurance Etc. This way you can start to be your own boss. Good luck.

I didn't mention thumbs or thumps!! But they will clip 12mm and chew away at 20mm all day. If you do a lot of heavy work they will need blades touching up before going onto fine conny trimming. 3 grease nipples on head, keep em greased!!

Tanaka, not well known but Japanese built, same head as Husky, good value. Worked one 10 years, never had a spanner on it, just bought another same for backup.

'Oh you're lucky to have all this kit' I reply- the harder I work the luckier I get. Expert--- Ex is a has-been and a spurt is a drip under pressure.

What about a Trantor? Not quite as rare as an AgRover?
