  1. I got a Newray Iveco 6 wheel artic tractor unit from Germany with a folding crane not perfect but best so far. Much better than Americian version . David
  2. They do the trailers with cranes and 360 diggers. Most are with amercian trucks but I got a yellow MAN from Ebay a few years ago David
  3. Read the test schedule and make sure you can do/know what it asks for. Know about nozzles flow round spayer and have used the sprayer you are geting tested on is very useful. Run through the setting and calibration beforehand so you know what to expect. Best of luck David
  4. My understanding is that an ATV would be normally be licensed as as as light agricutural vehicle not a tractor therefore you canot drive it on road at 16. David
  5. Only Gretna ties in visit to family my home area of 30+ years ago David
  6. Last time the Carlisle show was on there were only 2-3 people with agricultural equipment, that included Ann and Brian Holmes. Plenty of cars and trains. Takes about 20 min to get to Carlisle show from Gretna. Best to use junction M6 J43 left along Eastern way then head back towards city centre as Carlisle can be busy even on a Sunday David
  7. I have used piona hinges in the past rebate them flush and the can be covred up David
  8. Seen some on ebay in past and maybe a topic on forum I think
  9. how about one of the mainline machinery dealers, a lot of them seem to keep a good range David
  10. I wonder if it can do more than 60k? with blues and twos see another topic. David
  11. If you are serious you could probly get away with the auction mart other side of dual carraigeway about 500 metres away. David
  12. Sorry don't often get wound up but I must say this has How do you intend stopping these things or does that not matter? Do some basic maths in relation to stopping distances or read Andy Scarlett's research on trailer braking. Apart from being totally illegal on several fronts please think of what you would have to live with if you were responsible for causing a serious accident or even a death. They are simply not up to it. You can argue about the outdated 20 mph laws but things that are allowed to go faster are designed to do so and are generally subject to greater regulation. Buy a Fastrac Unimog or HGV. David
  13. Ann and Brian Holmes will be there. Ring him and he wiil bring them along what you want. 01535 642184 David
  14. I will be there 7 minutes from home. Brian Holmes usuallly attends David

  16. Just in case anybody was wondering the weather in Penrith itself has not been too bad. We are expecting more rain tommorow but nothing too bad. I would advise you stick to main roads as there is still likely to be a bit of localised flooding. However I would not travel and expect to find accomodation without booking as most of it is likely to be full. David
  17. I will be there shortly after it opens. I have at least 10 minutes travelling from other side of Penrith David(dwross)
  18. Easy to get to M6 junction 40 take A66 west to Keswick. It is first exit on the next roundabout about 1/2 mile from M6. David
  19. There is a travelodge within 1/2 mile of venue just off M6 junction 40 A66 towards Keswick, I know a few of the dealers use it. Several good bed and breakfasts in town if you want a few names give me a shout but would book as we are on coast to coast cycle route and can be busy even in November. North Lakes hotel is a great 4* but expensive. Also in town is George hotel not sure about prices. There is also Westmorland Hotel at Tebay sevices if you are coming from South about 20 minutes from Penrith. David
  20. I am pretty sure I wiil be there again it will take me at least 10 minutes to get from home. A good range of displays and dealers. There was some decent olders Britains there last year David
  21. If you want to get into the subject there are 2 books worth reading one by Andrew McMahon and the other by Mike Braithwaite. I think they are both called agricultural vehicles on the road. Both have websites. David
  22. There is an exhibition in the Richard Greenhow centre Gretna this Sunday the 22nd, 10-4. I don't have much detail but tractor and machine displays and some traders. I guess some of those who go to Reghed Penrith will be there. Been told it used to be held in Lockerbie but they needed a bigger venue. It is in the centre of Gretna 1/2 mile from Gretna Gateway shopping centre. David
  23. If i rmember coorectly the updated version did not turn the rotor David
