Looks like it is going to thaw quickly today so it is doubtful I'll get any more spread. We used to use contractors to do the main of the muck spreading but when we wanted them they were always busy elsewhere and usually turned up when the conditions were unsuitable and didn't do a very good job as they were in a rush. . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the second plant that be has built the first one was based on a artic unit which was ok but needed plenty of room to get in position before detaching the tractor unit then when having to move along the heap he had to reattach it also needed HGV to drive it ,this one will move itself in 2wd or 4wd if needed and no HGV . he goes by the name of CRUSHER TRUCKS (simon oliver) I have now him a long time and he is a very good welder and he likes a challenge on designing things 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Half way through reading Jimmy Nail's autobiography, so as the wife's out tonight I thought it only right to start watching the first series of Auf Wiedersehen Pet.(Again!) I'm probably a bit biased, but for me the best thing ever to be shown on television, I think I must know it all word for word A glass of whiskey and a big fire, heaven! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you can read it its a fact , we were probably happier than todays youth , my to sit in their rooms and hardly communicate with us and just live on social media , perhaps its our fault for letting them do this ? I know my parents never allowed us just to sit about , dad always had a job somewhere for us to do regardless if we were capable of doing it . happy days ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this sounds like Victor Meldrew, but I do think kids are different today to when we were young, ours are nearly 11 and 14 but have so much more confidence than I ever had when I was their age (and attitude and opinion! )- I've often said that I wish I knew half of what they THINK hey know! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
