Lord Ferguson Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Not rude at all Tim... My real day job is to run a business that sells Fruit & Vegetables to about 800 schools across East Anglia and Hertfordshire... BUT.... I also have a small subsidiary business which is centered around this tractor for baling farm waste and other recyclables, hauling and selling topsoil, sand & ballast and doing a little corn carting if I can get it.... I've also bought a little digger from PDC which I hire out to my mates... I'm up for trying anything providing in involves the use of 'kit' :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 No Sean... but they had quite a volume of paid green waste input.. if I could bag that then it would be well worth the investment in a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffithsbros Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 which picture buddy oh sorry didnt realise yours doesnt have one, on the standard roof above the door on the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 ah... in that case... yes it's the cab filter... on mine (visio roof) it's at the back.. hence the grab rails on the rear of the cab. Strangly... the UH5480 has the rails.. but on a standard roofed cab... which SHOULD be wrong \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
