The staff (or lack of) at the factory I was delivering to in Bromborough, Liverpool. 45 minutes to tip is not a good result . AND they pinched my clipboard .
And to top it all, getting the Sprinter stuck in mud when I got back home. My L200 was spinning on the sodden earth, so out with the bosses dumper and and a strop (I was in )
Hearing my boss relay a co-worker's attempt to escape a dumper tipping over down a slope, after the man himself describe to me his "near death" experience and daring jump to safety. Turns out the machine rotated very slowly giving him plenty of time to step out the top side if he needed to (although the roll bar would have easily shielded him apparently). But what did he do? Lept out down the slope in the direction of fall, injuring his back -but luckily avoiding being crushed.
Self-employed garden maintenance worker, occasional (but frequent at this time of year) delivery driver, occasional farm worker (still hoping to build on this, even if it does bring in less cash than the other two))
I've been putting this off because of the relatively mild weather we've been having here in the UK, but I was wondering if anyone on ftf has previously used snow socks as an alternative to chains? I'm told they cope with icy conditions on a par with snow chains, but suffer when exposed to clear tarmac. Any ideas? \
As others have pointed out the plastic on the Ransomes Harvester is very fragile, and seems to become more so over time. The 'slime' I've encountered is usually a previous owner's attempt to lubricate the moving belts with oil, but only weakens the plastic further. DO NOT LUBRICATE!
I've tried that before, and it wasn't half uncomfortable. I'll give fluffy earmuffs a go next time I think...
Rather miffed at the loss of my laptop recently as i lost all my uploaded music. Oh well, the Sprinter has a cd player.
Driving to a farm in Tunbridge Wells with 2 tonnes of ingredients. Some nice machines there, including Fiatagri, New Holland and Claas (coming around the corner followed by a Claas dealer/mechanic van).
Well done Sue, at least you didn't have to do too much rifling through the dirt pile, I always dread that if I've hoovered up part of a model or something.
