I've got a Nissan cabstar on a 05 plate with a tip master tipper fitted, seems to struggle with 2 tons of hardcore on it, was almost a rite off last winter, shame it wasn't, about time I get a new one

When he first bought it it was green, then gave it a full respray Photo was taken at the Fife Show in 2011

Taking dads fordson standard n and a bulk bag of rock salt upto my grandad in Keith, just past huntly, on the back of the daf, then home, then she wants to go out for a meal, then packing for this monster stag in Poland

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone has used dry rub decal paper, if its any good and is easy to use, thinking of doing of producing a batch of HWS PLANT HIRE decals any help much appreciated, cheers, harry

Due to start 12th dec I think, gives us 3 days to recover from the weekends antics,

what variety of wood is the best for firewood, I've got a job coming up which involves cutting Down 90-100 spruce, i was thinking about cutting, chopping and the selling it on as firewood, I've had a few people In asking me to keep behind any logs or fence posts I come across, would spruce be any use?

well today was going well until lunch time when i got in the l200,started the engine,turned the heater on and the crack, a 4 foot crack opened up in the windscreen, phone autoglass, they say that the insurance will cover it, phone the insurance and they say itll be covered and all that, go to autoglass where they say theyll not be able to do it until tuesday, ragin

Well this was my day, just got this small stretch to go then its time to make a mess of the road, hired in a volvo a30f dumper to speed things along, the js145w is staying with us, just need to get Connel his ticket to drive it aswell, but he's paying it himself

I like Jaffa cakes too 60 for £3 out of tesco, and thanks for making my wee brother welcome, he's not all bad, good driver too, must take after his grandad,

Still not sure if this will be joining the fleet, impressive model I must say, the price could be impressive aswell

i'll make sure he behaves, and welcome to the forum con,

Thinking of bidding on this, anyone think its worth the price, I know how much the compactor and the 4 in 1 bucket are worth, help, anyone? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170946932317?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D170946932317%26_rdc%3D1

Small cardboard boxes, wrapping paper, ducktape, new stereo for the vw r32, Swedish house Mafia cd, and a fibre optic crimbo tree, girlfriend and one of the other secretaries in the office moaning about there being no Christmas spirit in the office,

Gave the js145w a rest today as I've hit a rather boggy area, so a jz140 was brought in, and moved another container onto site, and brought a manitou forklift onto the job as the farmers manihoe is a piece of s**t

More digging, spreading of hardcore and a wee game of darts in the canteen with a couple on my employees and a few water main installers, obviously I won, also found out a steel container makes a bit of a mess, now I've hit rock in the trench, need to get a ripper tooth forn the js145w,

I find with jcb you get a lot more for your money, for example I could go into the dealership tomorrow and order a 2012 plate 3cx sitemaster, quickhitch, 4 buckets and a few optional extras for around the £56000 mark, whereas with caterpillars equivalent model, you pay 4 grand more for the machine, pay extra for attachments and all the other stuff by then your easily 2 or 3 grand more, also jcb have a great after sales service, something goes wrong and a mechanic could be on site with in 2 hours, whereas other companies could be 2 days, and that's why I think smaller companies prefer jcb fast and reliable service and they appreciate there customers, quality built machines that last for ages,

Us scots don't moan about the snow, we are designed with built in 4wd, gets abit of a struggle when it 5ft deep but hey ho, that's what shovels are for

More testing of the js145w today, digging a trench for a new water main, easy digging as it goes through a couple of fields, spreading some more hardcore, then took the js145w round to a pals and stripped his lawn for a larger driveway, thinking the js could be a keeper

workbench at the yard, currently has two britains jcb 3cx's awaiting the chop, just something to do while its quiet,

Have bought loads from him in the past, great quality models, wouldn't mind another set myself, got 2 3cxs my self but only one set of buckets,

there's a few on eBay at the moment, chris irwin has got this set on at the moment, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/britains-jcb-3cx-excavator-digger-with-hammer-compactor-ripper-4-in-1-bucket-new-/170946932317?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item27cd3b2e5d Also this set http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRITAINS-JCB-3CX-BLACK-CAB-WITH-QUICK-HITCH-AND-4-BUCKETS-/160921661357?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item2577adafad Britains never made the 3cx with the additional attachments, all the different attachments are hand made, and well made, got a set of buckets my self and I am really pleased with the quality of them, try BSB plant or c irwin,

Just off the phone to a local farmer offering me a chance to buy a newish wood chipper which he bought to heat the chicken sheds which vion own, but due to there current economical status he will no longer be doing the chickens, which means he won't be needing the chipper, problem is he paid £1.5 million 3 months ago, for it, told him I couldn't afford it, and he should go into bio mass, and hire a load of forklifts off me for giving him a great idea,

na, it was either get him to do it or get a company in to do it for twice the price, plus, I could do with a pint aswell so it give me a reason to have one,

No there wasn't, but hotel security checked CCTV, caught the number plate, matched it with a resident and I have had a nice chat with the person who done it and my wallet is now £250 heavier than when I left home, brother says he can get a new one for £110 and respray the door for £50 and a pint
