  1. The land rover has a dozen uses even when its road smoking years are over. Our 110 was finished with so we got our fabricator/welder to lengthen the chassis and mount a simon hoist on the back. while he was at it he fitted some anchors and a hyraulic winch up the back of it. The hydraulic pto has a two way spool too divert too the winch/cherrypicker. While he was at it he fitted an extendable draw bar so it can tow a chipper. I found an fd35 nissan engine on the bay of thieves and we put that in it. Its the nuts and we get no end of use out of it. A friend of mine had a beaten up old 90 and he tore the back off it and fitted a massive drum winch in it running off the pto, same thing its always in use. They recycle well:) Bob
  2. Thats just taking the piss Onion juice works a treat and lasts all day. Bob
  3. Its as clear as mud just like anything the government legislates on. I do think the loop is open enough to be workable in as much as most of us are not employed as "drivers" which the drivers cpc is aimed at. Even though its an EU directive Germany are threatening too not comply which might blow the whole thing out of the water. Time will tell. Bob
  4. Some truth in here. I deliver about four artic loads of timber a month to a little old man and his mucker. He is and has been flat out all year with his logs for a number of years now. He has a splitter and conveyor belt going straight into 1 ton bags , he has a beaten up forklift to stack and load the bags. He makes very light work of this and he has done very well out of it. He is just organized. Bob
