Id much prefer a pussycat purring away behind the seat than the snappy little terrier that I currently have to put up with.

Sparty would jump up on a wheel or mudguard or stand on the front deck and wait for me to come around
so he could climb in the cab and chill, watching the world go round
or if it was real warm he'd stretch out on the deck .. front or rear - wasn't fussy
also liked to ride round on the Coutax too ... got to the point where I used to strap one of his beds to the bonnet, to stop him sliding off

Cats do like a cab I've found. Our old ginger tom growing up could always be found in a cab- usually the several abandoned Zetors lying around the placeSparty would jump up on a wheel or mudguard or stand on the front deck and wait for me to come around

Start on a new job today- rock facing this eroded river bank. Bit of a mission getting the boulders down to it as half a mile from where they're tipped and only just fit the 3 ton dumper down there. Otherwise would have been the perfect job for my Case

Oh yeah for sure. But can get them in easy enough with the thumb- if it's a really big one I'll tip the dumper up and jack the digger up on the blade to give enough height to get it in. Tbh wrestling oversized rocks with undersized diggers is the story of my life

First rough draft of my cordless pressure washer going out for a test run today. Will need some more plumbing and paint and baffles before its done.

Years of looking! They are on my searches as we use the 600l ones for work. You can buy baffle balls but they are very expensive. I will use 60m of 4” pipe cut at right length and posted in. If you use smooth pipe you can keep lifting and sliding till it’s full, Needs em, makes you feel seasick otherwise

neat idea
... wonder if you could feed a roll of 100mm perf in 'til it was virtually stuffed.. would have a similar effect

Never seen a 600L
Obvious point but do the fire lads a favour and rip off any hazchem labels ...you'll be glad if it ever ends up on its side
