Damn, I obviously didn't pay them enough to have you shipped off to the Gulags in Siberia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 honestly mate,i thought getting into the states was hard, but these guys would make hard as nails special forces teams nervous, theres no appeal or anything ,thats it you ain't in. anyone on a trip had to go to a talk a few days before, all told don't make any jokes, answer every question , certainly do not argue, dont take any pics in the building at all,even in the shops, they take it deadly serious. apparently the rep nearly got arrested taking pics for the talk for customer ref in the talk to aid every one in what to expect, swear blimd they dont want you in the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Just got home from Illminster Carnival, big tradition here in Somerset and the main one Bridgwater being in a few weeks time. This is only a small show and getting smaller each year sadly but few of the carts from this year, the bottom one is based on a MF1080, most of the big ones that are 100 odd ft long now use lorries though.

Anderson Agri Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Had the chance to look at the brakes which dont work on my Leyland, took the master cylinder off to find this, seized solid and caked in rust, no wonder they didnt work. Bit of heat and now free with good resistance, just waiting on a few bits to refit correctly 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
