MJB1 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 work doesnt think i do need it , it's me that's pushing for it , the mill in dorchester uses a forklift with a bucket to load elevators to load the lorrys , nobody minds the drivers loading themselves , but if something were to go wrong we're not covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Won't be making it this year I'm afraid lads, it's a long way for a couple of hours nosing about and I dare say there won't be many changes. So we have gone for the airshow option at The Fleet Air Arm instead (all be it I wish I was going to RAF Waddington to see the Vulcan!!)

powerrabbit Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Still on as far as I know, actually looking forward to it. Was planning to give Mike a ring later tonight as I have one of those Ferguson compressor driven Marples hand hedgetrimmers, thinking of taking it to see what it's worth.

What did you think of the 1/2 size 525? in the first shed, hand built by the now retired chief engineer from Exeter College. Most interesting tractor in the display I thought. Very clever chap! Sorry I did'nt see you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
