As said before the skoda caddy pickups were great little trucks but getting long in the tooth and rare now, I used and abused 3 of them and it always suprised me where they would go if you pick away quietly if you do get it stuck they are easy to get out. On the second caddy van now but not as versatile as the pickups and still use the Disco for the heavy towing. I am tempted to look at the Fiat Doblo pickup 1 tonne payload 1.3 tonne towing and as ugly as sin so it might not get nicked.

It wasn't that many years ago that the big arctics of the day were running the length and breadth of the country with 180 hp. Now days you can't drag a wheelbarrow round the houses with a transit with only 115 hp ! I must be getting older than I thought, still you can't argue with progress.

I think you will struggle to get a worthwhile lift off a landrover base. If you are going ahead is it worth considering an old cherry picker, it would give you the hydruilics and posably some additional legs, both might be mot exempt but I don't think you can tow with it if using an mot exemption.

Would that be a demo machine from ragley?

On the same roundabout as dirty Donald's there is a Morrisons cafe open from 08:00 and about 10 mins from the gate.

I was always told that a good guide was a thousand hours per ton, it seams a bit harsh but is probably safe. Unfortanately it's a luxury I can't afford and just hope fore the best with all my toys.

When talking to dealer at Dunster show a couple of weeks ago he say's that all the Hi lux's imported after November will be plated at 3.5tonne. It's still strong money for a work truck and there basic spec is far to pretty for what I want. Isuzu or another old landy??.

The little rabbit comes out the hole round the back of the tree and back down his hole! It's fast and easy to tie even when things are going wrong dosn't slip even with 8000 tonnes of ship yanking on it and is easy to undo. What's not to like about it? The first knot to learn after mastering your shoelaces.

I'm not sure what I would do with it but I could have a lot of fun finding out.http://youtu.be/8kvhew8WRMg

I can't fathom out who might have dredged up this old thread, someone poking round Davey Jones's locker no doubt. Eel get right crabby if he thinks your after his hammerheads and might even set his dogfish on you.

There's a drawbar on there going to waste, could you not find a trailer to make the load up?? Good effort

It was probably the least of my sins that day but a good point none the less.

You have to love an old Disco

I would like to think that you went back for the combine after you dropped the header off!!
