  1. My 9.5 is up for sale, all sorted now, still 2 years warranty left. 70hrs I will put it on Arbtrader tomorrow. €38k plus vat. In France obvs but I sold the LR tipper on here to a guy with some hutzpah who got a bargain. IMG_0348.MOV
  2. Odd, I have the 536 and that has never happened. The groundy has occasionally not slotted it in correctly, but there is no power so it’s obvious. Have you managed to replicate it falling out on the ground? (If you see what I mean)
  3. A bit yes, but there’s not much you can do with lots.
  4. My offer was for either of us to leave this site if we lost, if that is beyond the pale for you just say so.
  5. Spoiler alert! He went to the US, proposed and she accepted!
  6. Better still, if it happens and we’re both still on here, if you lose you never come on here again and if I lose I won’t.
  7. It’s not for two years, ask me closer to the date, if we’re both still on here.
  8. When it becomes clear they’ll lose by a landslide with him at the helm they’ll switch to whoever’s next (prolly Sunak) They will lose anyway, but dump him and it might not be a massacre.
  9. He’s a dead man walking. I have always had sympathy for beleaguered PMs, not an ounce for him. Read on Twitter, he’s the third prime minister in a row to be brought down by Boris Johnson.
  10. I’ll take your word for it, the world overtook me around 2007.
  11. Yeah, no hashtags either, too desperate.
  12. IG is great for storing photo stories of your work for free. Ignore the monetising bit (wanker T shirts etc.) and it is a good storage resource. You do see some good work as well, not really interactive in the same way as other sosh, but that’s no bad thing.
  13. Yes, but what use is a crane on an arb job except to load stuff next to it? With a compact tractor you can load, winch over, forward stuff etc. Plus your 4x4 hasn’t been ruined and you can price and go shopping with the family with it
  14. Plenty about, don’t sweat it.
  15. Those of us (like me and Stu) who eschew the HGV route, are always looking for a cheat code to get the maximum capacity without taking the plunge. I think a mini tractor/loader combo with a tipping trailer is probably the best way round it. You can load over 2 and a half tonnes of logs with the tractor and press a button at the other end to unload. Means an extra trip of course to pick up the tractor/loader, but there you go.
  16. No use the same one, it’s probably healed itself by now.
  17. Problem with them is weight. Put that on your 3.5 tonner and you can legally carry your lunch. The Funeral people use them here to put gravestones in position, I talked to the guy at the cafe after having a look round one, he said that’s all they can do with it, otherwise it’s over the limit.
