Deere-est

I'm assuming one of Keiths post bangers, Dave?

Thought so, the chap that dis it wasn't a farmer if I recall either? I saw that lovely 77 come off its lowloader to and can say it ran lovely and wasn't breathing oil. I did pass comment to the seller/haulier.

Fancy coming on here wanting a serious answer, Luke of all people should have known the outcome! Export indeed, Flowerstar.

Glad a more expensive catasstru....... catoshtraf........ it's too early already...... problem! didn't come of it, Sue. Praise to your plumbers as well, that really is great service.

Is say 12 - 15 I suppose, Luke but a better idea may come along.

Rummors? :D That Inter looks flipping lovely, Martyn. I look forward to seeing more. Were you at the sale today as a possibke buyer then or looking at at stuff from a possible selling point? Do you have open days at all, models amd real deal kind of thing? Butty van, beers in a water trough...... Know what I mean?!

Empty crisp packet.

Seems odd though. As probably the best UK show - definately by this years standards any trader not attending would notice their loss. Competition is a good thing anyway, take G and M. Look how many people have started since they first set up. G and M are still here, big as ever. Because of the respect from their customers. The same for farmmodels, UTS, now HLT, scratch builders like George Poole, Dave Perdue, Ken Davies..... People come and go inbetween, some staying longer than others, some doing more damage than others! But in the long run, competition between traders is as good for the buyer as for the seller themself the way I see it.

Green Meadow were (possibly still are?) a fair concern along the M4 from Swindon, Mike. I needed their help one say when I put my then Scania 8x4 Bulker in a soft verge. A tree stopped it going over, she was loaded too! The chap that came out had a brand new 5 axle Iveco costing 250k, this was 2002. He told me the worst kind of recovery is a loaded, unmarked lorry! I ser his point. An old Scammel Constructor also attended to stop the back end slipping in as the Iveco winched me out forwards. Aaaaaaanyhow! Walls and NYR are very well known for their specialist vehicles. What a fleet you chaps run though, eh Mike?! Very nice, modern well presented..... This sort of work always attracts onlookers and working so close with the emergency services, you can't afford to run around with old kit. I love it. More of the same please although it goes without saying as I know how professional you are we will be saved the more macabre images for the respect of those involved or related.

I was up there over lunchtime today picking guff up, Martyn. Must have brushed shoulders at some point. I'm glad you got some photos as I had neither the time nor the camera! I watched the guys unload that Bud, it sounded beautiful, I'm sure it was a magazine feature? Sid you see the '83 Deere 3040 2wd, it looked incredibly original. I wish I had has the time for a wander but sadly I had to load a pallet of manifolds, two engines, three Massey 165s and a Belarus 570 in the rain

Deal, done!!

Traci says that to me all the time :'(

I'd have wanted to drink it by the time I'd stacked it thougj, Sean!! :D For me today it has been a mixed bag. In at 7.15am and out in the artic just down near Shaftesbury to collect a 590, 590 4wd loader, 699 4wd loader and a road compressor, leaving a 565 therw for another day. Back to the yard for a mid morning cuppa. Next job down to Surrey in the rigid, just off the M25 to pick up a Massey drot and back to yard. Mid afternoon cuppa and load the artic with Scania chassis cab 4x2 and head for Sheerness. Currently sat in Poland ... Clacket Lane on a break before my last punt up to Sheerness for the night. Good job I'm feeling better! Hope you get some better luck soon, Andy. What brought that on?

I guess your average parent isn't going to buy Wiking and Shuco for their eight year old to razz around the carpet into the sofa, door fram, cat....... Nans feet ....... and so on!!

What Sid you do to your foot? A.other load of hay to Wales for me. Homeward bound now

Out and about delivering logs and gradually running out if steam no thanks to the chesty cough I picked up Toytrac. Hitting it hard with ad many legal drugs as I can. The boss however just said "Ere, go home and go to bed, I'm not trying to sound mean but you look like s**t"!!

I took some close ups with Andys camera so they may well appear later as and when Andy has time.

I don't know why Jigstones don't just pull their finger out and sell the finished product to be honest. I don't want to faff about tying to use moulds and stuff. I just want to buy a product which I can crack on and use.

Long time out of stock on there too, Joe. The railway guys like it as stands up to the weather on their garden layouts.

Blimey, if children are learning words from me I better be careful what a say!! Harry..... New word for you..... Tightwad!

It's great stuff, Paul. I built my workshop and my cattle byre with it as well as sides it for the walls for my big old granary building. It is.no longer available as the bloke who made it didn't have permission from Jigstones who make the moulds. You can buy the moulds still, direct from Jigstones, just not mass produce and sell the products from the moulds!! Must admit Sean, I'm looking forward to this

Yup! To be fair, I do have five maybe six packs od this I bought off Ricky a few years ago and they havn'tyet seen the light of day! So I shouldn't moan really. Sean is still a git though! :D

Git.

And, Saaa-fooork?!

Just need a Markant 65 to follow on behind now then
