Jez Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Sneeky, Sneeky Sneeky : ??? No tips or even suggestions that you are moving to machinery Graham. Excellent, something we have all been hoping for from a manufacturer. So how did you build it? Plastic? Gav, any chance you could roll out a few '000 Quote

TS135A DRIVER Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Very smart Graham. Looks just like the real thing, you've made a great job of your first go at making machinery from scratch . Was thinking I would try to make a lift mounted spreader / bedder to use along with my new building. Quote
