I’ll clarify. I’ve nothing against other 3.5 tonne tippers. However since 2001 I’ve had only 3 transits, they’ve run around, usually a fair bit overloaded, pulling a chipper, got me there, got me back, almost never let me down, reasonable economy. They have been my most consistent moneymaker. I just don’t know how I could improve on them with anything more powerful or more comfortable.

I’ve no issues with the power, plenty enough, not discernibly more than the 2.4 but you don’t have to work the gears as much if you know what I mean. Long term reliability…I dunno, only done 3k, but there’s a warranty so fingers crossed.

Then it’s much of a muchness. I’ve been pulling it backwards for many years, I know what you mean about the snagging though.

Is it cos the worm drive that turns the oil pump only turns one way? Dunno really, just speculation.

Running a tranny here, 3rd one in 24 years, reliable and cheap to run. love them.

Actually those are some pretty good observations. The ram does look rubbish.

I’ve been to Belgium for a rotating grapple, near the Italian border for a Schliesing chipper and Durham for a Land Rover. I’ve driven across the country to look at equipment, stayed in a hotel overnight, decided against it and driven back empty handed. Go and have a look at it (the vehicle itself) look at the work they do there and then make your mind up.

I’m afraid he’s gone metastatic.

Did you see how on March 7th the Whitehouse warned the Kremlin of intelligence about an imminent terrorist attack on a concert or similar which Putin described as meddling and propaganda?

Wnky neighbours.... Cut tree dispute
Mick Dempsey replied to Botty Cough's topic in Trees and the Law
So it was your tree all along? Yet you failed to mention that in the first post. What a spectacular waste of time. -

Just wondered if there was any appetite to recover territory lost in the Winter War.

I presume your sons consider themselves Finnish. What’s their take on Finland joining NATO? Are they anticipating invasion?

Well, as they say, it depends. If I had the opportunity right now (at 60) with most of my debt behind me, to finish off my working life with all those benefits, lack of pressure, guaranteed holidays etc. I’m not saying I’d do it, but it doesn’t sound terrible.

Ha ha, load of crap anyway.

Another beautiful day here, set fair for the week. Chance to get some work off the books that’s been sitting around since the autumn.

Interesting that 7 years after I started this thread I’m still no clearer about what constitutes what, chain wise. Old dog, new tricks etc…
