Deere-est Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 You should have seen the groundworks for the new B&***** at Cribbs Causway FB before they got the steelwork up. I don't ever understand how there can be so many excavator booms swinging around without ever clouting eachother. All I saw was 360's, JCB 3CX's and dumpers on the UK's longest contra-flow on the M5 south from j18 - j19. Quote

Deere-est Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I had Portbury - Avonmouth x5. Its daft, 1hr to drive up there, 1 hour to drive back leaving 9 hours to do 5 loads. They only take an hour and a quarter each!! Tell a lie, they are lifting tatties near me, the only field for miles around. Not sure of the machinery as I always see them between 6 and 6.30am when it's dark. They just do a few runs each morning. There is 6640 there but the rest goes back to the farm wherever it is. Must be renting the field. Quote
BGU Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Went to the local JD shop this morning, forgot to take the camera! Horror of horrors they stopped selling Deeres and are now an MF dealer!!! Some nice stuff there, three Fendts, Loads of JD's and MF's. Will have to go back with camera. Quote
