mb86 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Went to the yearly machinery sale at my local mart yesterday and came home with this. I towed my mates purchase home with it so he didn't have as far to travel to pick it up in his JQ, it was a trailed tarrup drum mower conditioner which was the same as a Kidd clipper but I didn't get a photo of it. The 4000 goes well for only having half the cylinders I'm used to! It needs a few things sorting but hopefully I'll take it on a tractor run or two and maybe give it some light work.

Spent many happy days on a 4000, lots of them buckraking silage. I love the song that engine sings, especially when it comes under load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will get some work at some point stan, don't think my contractor would appreciate me hooking the old parmiter buckrake up and getting in his way! Although it would make a good photo.

Gav836 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Two glass fronted pine display cabinets from a local furniture recycling charity shop for £45 each, bargain! Will take every one I can find for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I've had a few bits out of there over the years, the one in town keeps their FB page up to date so as soon as I saw them I went in there as they aren't a bad match for my existing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 after a good few years service my karcher pressure washer went bang today, started putting water out of the cooling vents and power area while i was using it, popped the rcd and the ring main fuse with a nice puff of smoke. so out and bought a new one, had to go mid range as it was the only way i could get my extendable lance one (4m for doing the facia boards) to fit as the cheaper ones now have a different attachment system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not expecting one of my own but now have a two year old boy involved in my life. Spent hours today trying to find one that we're sure will fit my truck, Britax are the only manufacturer to list Ford Ranger's, no other manufacturer listed any double cabs in their comparability checker which was helpful!

Tractorman810 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 has it got isofix ?? if so plenty would have done, we have a recaro young sport for the two year old, its not isofix but has fitted every car tried so far,via the seat belt ,with a 4 point harness , the older one has a recaro monza ,thats isofix and very easy to move about ,used to get some great comments when we took my neice and the eldest out when they were younger, pair of rally spec recaros in the back of the softtop roof down ,two little blondes in sun glasses sat in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Yes it has, went for Britax ISOfix type in the end, I knew most of them would fit but this was on offer and should cover him until he's old enough to go without. Did look at the Recaro ones but this was cheaper. Gave up with the seat belt fitting ones, Ranger has ISOfix so might as well use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 just spent £17 on a autoglym scratch removal set from halfords to have a go at a series of scratches/marks along the side of my car from someone pushing past with a bag or similarina carpark recently ,plus 2 marks on the bonnet from huge seagul s**ts which had badly swirled/marked it,the joys of living near the sea i had been told by several seperate people plus two pro detailers i went to ,that i would need paint jobs on the scratches plus buffing of the bonnet,with quotes from 250 - 450 quid ,however a very good friend recomended the above and i would to anyone now, has lost the bonnet marks, and also the side marks with a total of 30 mins work tops, all the marks were through the top lacker and into the top of paint,luckly not deeper to the primer , and showed something terrible on metallic black but now you can not see a thing bar one very fine line/scratch if you go right up to itand at the right angle , and i suspect that will go with a little more work .best cash i have spent in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Certainly sounds like a good buy Sean, think I might have to add one to my valeting kit, well, the wife's car does somehow seem to attract plenty of scratches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 As me and my brother have got a building project on the go we decided to buy a bit bigger mine digger than the one we already own as to hire one for over a year was going to cost a fair bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
