Tractorman810 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 i bet, used to be pretty common when i started work ,being a cornish company, but i suspect this one would cost more to repair than have. a new one made , i couldn't see any of the lifting arms for the rear door either so may well have been missing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of Sam's builds and he excelled himself with it, lovely detail and also functional, my photos don't do it justice. That's a shame to hear of one abandoned like that, one of those would just do me to pick my grass up. I doubt you would put Tipps FR under pressure with one of those mind Martin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to have been told where there is a few spares laid for toucans but that one sounds past it. 37 minutes ago, 844john said: I doubt you would put Tipps FR under pressure with one of those mind Martin! You may be right john but it would be paid for and it would have got my grass into the pit earlier than they did this year, seeing as they didn't turn up till a week after they told me they'd be here.
