  1. I've met divers that go in canal locks. They don't work offshore. Was doing canal cutting by boat for a while and they forage in the locks for treats...🤮😁 I think you are confusing canal street Manchester with the actual job...
  2. Good reason for yellow curry and cider. Both will help with the healing . Calcium tablets and magnesium will also help. I think both of those are in the bucket licks for the sheep.😁
  3. Front suspension in the big 2.0 transits is soft at best. They eat brakes and destroy front ball joints. They are very thirsty pulling a tip load and chipper with a kit load in the rear seat area...
  4. I have used all the vehicles mentioned. The most unreliable was a 4x4 sprinter... The best I've used has been the 3.0 iveco.
  5. Well for me I'm not bothered about the cabin, it's gonna get wrecked and covered in oil and sawdust so I'll stand my ground on the iveco. It does have the edge. The 2.2 and 2.0 transits are disposable at relatively light use unfortunately
  6. Shirley a mid range husky at that price is going to fill the gap in the collection.... You know it makes sense....😁🍿
  7. I have a honda mower I can look at in the morning if you want. I'm watching TV at the moment and it's roast dinner night....😁
  8. Not many tree cutters that don't overload in reality ,that's why we go iveco.
  9. Could be a canal forager which wouldn't count as offshore for tax....😂
  10. Tipping loads is all about chassis and axle so the Iveco will always win over the sprinter on that job.
  11. Newc husky 435 on eBay £395
  12. If you're going to make an investment then get a husky...😁
  13. I would definitely go iveco over Merc these days. The iveco is using the fiat engine's in most of them and they are a lot stronger than the Germans. It's also extremely Easy to make solid sides for the box at very little costs.
  14. Have you bothered working offshore?
  15. @river_thames https://www.autotrader.co.uk/van-details/202403127497418
  16. 🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
  17. It's not looking terrible but certainly not built to a spec for heavy duty use.
  18. I prefer tarmacing thanks....😂
  19. Finally a sensible worker. I too manage 4 months a year or so , mostly doing house upgrades. During the 7 months a year I work full time I make an absolute wad. Spread it out over 12 months. During my rest months I spend a bit of time repairing kit and pissing off numptys on the internet 😂😂😂😂
  20. That will never tip a load or go anywhere full up. Ok for fly tipping sofas and mattresses but that's about it...😁
  21. Signed in for this one..😁
  22. 🤕
  23. Yeah Arb managers jobs being advertised at the moment for upwards of £50k and that's a basic job.
  24. Grey with a glimmer of blue hope.,.. Hopefully the woods have dried out a bit as it's dam slippery by bike
