MJB1 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 get someone to wash someone elses lorry some drivers struggle to wash their own bill ! no i wash mine when i can , trouble is we have 10 lorries in our yard & it's a free for all to get to the power washer sometimes , not helped by the fact the diesel tanks are situated right next to the wash bay , to get a half decent wash on my truck in this state takes up to an hour & a half but just road film it's a bit quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 never seen it done that way, why does it take so long to swap round then?? are they not fixed o nthe same way as the pick up is?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 There are loads of foragers hooked up to mowers. An old forager may have a worn out chopping mechanism but they've often got a pretty good engine in them that gets otherwise wasted. Looks like the NH has its chute so maybe they cut their own in one hit before turning it over to it's grass kit to pick it up or maybe it's a back up machine.

Kiwi6920 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 you have to change abit of pipe work around and remove all the cutting drum and change the lift rams and a computer. all fiddly stuff, both our mowers still have there chutes on, dont know why, ill find the pics i have of both ours side by side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a haulage company in Aberdeen (Sandy Bruce Trucking Limited) and they had a yard foreman who washed lorries when not busy. In addition they had one of those drive through lorry washes for their curtainsiders. Sadly that is another Aberdeen haulier that went to the wall some time ago.
