MJB1 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 surprised to see the levers marky , i thought you'd of spec'd one with electro hydraulic switch controlls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 no jcb then marky :'( looks a bit odd in that colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I would have thought the same as MJB aswell actually, about the levers versus electro-hydraulic. Not degrading your choice of machine by any means though mate, you tried a fe so your in the know. Set up a slalom course in the yard tomorrow mate and get some Santa Pod style photo's!!!!!

Light Land Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 That's a smart we forklift, How long before some one takes it off the cement and gets it stuck"just nipping over to get that box on the stones"? I've done that loads of times only to be told "get back in your tractor and sod off out of the pack house" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Thats a coincidence Marky.... I had the local JCB dealer onto me yesterday asking if I would be interested in having a teletruck in the yard for a couple of days to try out, I told them my mate had tried one and that he thought they were crap! :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just phone and complained that the Alloy Wheels, Air conditioning, Cab Heater, Mud flaps and CD player are missing \ :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 A man where I worked for the last few summers used to be always at this even in front of the company's health and safety officer. I suppose it was pretty dangerous doing it on barley but sure you've got to have a laugh at some stage :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 I presume you had great fun doing handbrake turns and wheelies with it yesterday :D ;) You must be kidding... I had to part with the cash for this one...so as I own the tyres ALL skidding.. wheelspinning and handbrake turns are banned I had a go at the driver this morning for taking the paint off the tines :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Another breach of health & Safety we used to do with the forklift- The pallets of polythene that used to arrive were so heavy that when you tried to lift them off of the artic it lifted the rear wheel up!! (3 wheeler) So we used to get 2 people hanging off of the back of the forklift. After 2 years of tis they bought a bigger forklift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I think the classic one is working off a pallet up about 15 feet in the air. Only problem is I know some people who actually went through the pallet. One of the other things the lads used to do was when we had the Volvo L90 and when you'd be in the bucket they'd tip it up the full way including the hi tip, you'd have to hang on for dear life - let's just say we didn't do these when the boss was around. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
