Gav836 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Took some pictures yesterday at work while we were mucking out one of Bernard Matthews sites. The loader is a Wiedemann 1490 with a toe tip bucket and the lorry is a Volvo FM12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Handy little thing by the looks if it, especially with a toe tip on it. The yard isn't what I expected though, looks a little bit of a hole when you think of Bernard Mathews image don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 The loaders are great fun and quite nippy. The site we're on there only has four sheds and is one of the older smaller sites, a lot of them are on old WWII airfields and some are quite grotty but the sheds are kept in good condition. Alot of the sites very clean and in good condition and as Ben said there are a lot worse than this one and not just Matthews ones either.
