very sad lot of money's worth gone up in smoke ther as for the big county , like hens teeth as it is \ at least nobody was hurt

may try to fit a new shower , not good with water or lectrickery , so if you hear a loud bang that'll be me \

looks like it's going to be a bit of a monster johny , will the wheels just be resprayed or the tyres to be fitted onto something else ?

i never could work out why the powerfarm version could be run from the wheels either \ no point in actually adding the pto

ohh some literature to go with yer model mark

thats what i find as well mate , you could have a few mistakes that no matter how obvious it is to someone else, you just dont see it yourself , & it's good to have other peoples perspective on the models you build

well as a baptism of fire yer going pretty well

nice little display coming along there mate , keep it up

like the pic of the perfectly clear tail lamps & it's great to know where to buy a flux capacitor :D

thanks bill getting the hang of the camera now not really Ol, helped haul sheep years back but not something thats really interested me mate , as well as drivers rules & regs , we also have animal welfare transport rules to adhere to which just means more aggro, that & it's bad enough getting yer boots covered in crap as it is , really dont need to have it all up me overalls as well :D best paid ? over here it's just another load to go , petrol/oil tankers, abnormal loads & car transporters earn the good money here

both stunning conversions mate , any pics side by side as the 80 looks chunkier than the 90 ,all the same really i wouldn't say no to either

did make a nice change paul, although not being as goodlooking as yer goodly self i at least looked the part no curbs clipped, no branches caught , & all went well , matter of fact i wanted to keep the trailer for the rest of the day & go hunting for mini diggers but as you'd quite rightly point out it's a flatdeck recovery trailer not as said a low-loader, but it did make a nice change & a break from the norm , having said that i did have a sneeky peek at plantspeed at bristol to see if there were any vacancies

hey hang on mate thats not fair this is my post not tristophers

those older units were inherited from ABN /PYE-BIBBY when MVF bought them out , because of the buy-out , there was a little unrest about just changing the name to mole vally farmers so southern valley name was used all the trucks were re-sprayed green & left unmarked , the new MVF logo is stilllike mine but on green paintwork , mine & the other 2 are only white because the units are leased. X776KOX had her diff let go & also in dire need of an engine rebuild ,so rather than repair it she was sold to round oak services who had a diff & rebuilt the engine so effectively she's in pretty good condition now but she's still no looker the unit that pulls this green trailer sean is the same as mine so no need to blame me on the moors slowing you down

an hour later back at round oak's yard ready to unload after dropping the recovery trailer i was given MVF Lifton's trailer which is also shot to keep going with my deliveries , the ex-DALGETY / ABN trailer needs a replacement donkey engine but it's got to last me till mine's done pic 5 at round oak in the lane pic 6 back to the mundane ,MVF LIFTON's trailer

overall height 16.2ft ,only just got out of the yard as they had a canopy at 16.5 to get under dumping the air helped pic 5 all ready to roll pic 6 an arty shot

round oak services followed me up in their ex-MVF FM12 the idea was to hitch it to my bulker & load it all , that way we didn't have to mess about dropping trailers pic 3 view of the flight deck pic 4 hardly a jump jet but it'a all there.

tonight mathew i'm going to be ............. PDC well not quite \ last week i had a bearing failure on my trailer , after about 8hrs of faffing about by the the garage team sent to me the wole thing was low loadered back to their depot, after a quote of mega £'s & at least 7 weeks down time to get a new axle , MVF & our local fitters it was decided to go fetch my trailer & get it back to them . so first thing to day i turned low loader driver . pic 1 made a change not to see a bulk trailer in the mirrors pic 2 my stricken trailer BT07

is your 3050 fitted with a 50k box then ricky ? chap i used to know ran 2 deeres 3050 & 3055 & both were fitted with 50K boxes , his fuel consumption was horrendous

here you go simon give this a try http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=4443.0

Re: What really annoyed you today??? well not today but last wednesday by wheel bearing on my trailer decided to go big time , had to get low loader to get me to the workshops . low loader driver not happy as was fully loaded , so am currently spare driver on other peoples trucks not all bad, i'm PDC tomorrow & collecting my trailer with my unit & hired low loader to go to another workshop

that's because you feel guilty about selling the massey's for that blue wosname

quality trailer mate , will look good coupled up to a FH16 / XF sporting the same colours

still cant really see the need for a hook bin mark , the bin & liner idea is ideal , a 7.5T lorry with hi-ab, high mesh sides . would keep tractor tyre wear to a minimum, & a faster vehicle to collect from a wider area. from what i can see untill it's baled, it's all bulk no weight cargo , so you'd be driving a slow tractor with a heavier than normal trailer carrying a load that's all bulk & no weight & you can't have the trailer & the baler at the same time ! better to have a collection vehicle that collects & a baler that bales not try to do everything with one vehicle

here you go mark seen a lot of these around the farms i deliver to, also seen the lorries collect as well , seems to be vey fast & efficient too http://www.kernowfarmplastics.co.uk/how%20it%20works.html dont think you need to have the expense of a hook loader system, the other altenative of which i've seen down this way , although predominantly for silage sheet from dairy farms is an old bin lorry
