Right,

Long time no posts...............

I have been back in the UK for a while and there are 4 of these in the yard waiting to go to the Environment Agency.

They have a flail head with hydraulic front guard and a hydraulic roller. Also they have a weed cutting bucket.

All clever stuff inside, there are weigh cells in the arm that tell you what weight you are lifting with the arm and also a height limeter to avoid overhead cables and some strange set up on the front axle.

Clever really as the fuel tank is moved to the right hand side and some extra stabiliser wheels that come down when the arm is out full reach.

Sorry for the pics, taken on the phone....

When I was part of jd they didn't let us near langer, ask about the old training centre in notingham in the late 90s, it was on an industrial estate! but inside it looked like the photo you posted with the workshop with a couple of tractors, whitebord etc. we did all our training this time of year,cold, wet, snow outside and heated workshop inside....Zzzzzzz. we used to have a laugh those days as the teaching staff were cleaver chaps, new all the working presures, system voltages etc but came straight from university, HNDs and stuff but had never actualy been fitters, thus had no idea how to take stuff apart,.........hope thats changed :D

Oh and to be fair I think a lot of the sleep was due to the errr....drink the night before :-[
