Valley Axe Man Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 10 hours ago, Tractorman810 said: yes we did mole plough ,hence the roadless and countys we bought,but nothing that big ,more a 100 pair copper local cable across the moors or somewhere. i can remember a county doing it on dartmoor not long after i started . interestingly we have started doing it again recently , for rural broadband, sadly not ourselves, they use a contractor, not sure what he runs though as its more in somerset at present where we are doing the infill stuff, the hard to get to one or two houses bits, lays a duct with pre installed cable in one go. if the rumors are true,the people doing the devon and cornwall infills, are not going to hit the contract dates, and we have been asked to continue it,so i may get to see what hes using soon .apparently only one person bid for the work,seems its a rare skill now ?? Ahh thought that's where the likes of the BT roadless would be bound Sean.... There's a bloke over Ripon way that's into a bit of cable moleing, and locally theres a bloke with a big modern Fergy and a plough for putting in plastic water pipe for farmers, although the bloke who used to do a lot of that work had an old Major with a winch on and used to winch the mole towards the tractor rather than need a big 4wd, he did miles of waterpipe that way over the years before his retirement 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted November 3, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2019 Had a quick 10 minutes with Brian and Will yesterday on route to another job and picked up another couple of Blues but not for me, these are going to Penrith next weekend for Dave steele but seeing as they 16th and have a short stay here in my collection i thought id share a few photos of Brian's super6 and 4wd dexta, Brian did point out that the protoype nose for the grey bonnet super6 is now nearer being finished so i expect Dave will be having one when Brian gets them away 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John, must remember that then you can give it a better coat of looking at Penrith, if hopefully things are getting back to some kind of normality by then, come to think of it seeing what you do in 32nd.... a 16th one would be jaw-dropping..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
