Was a bit tight with the low loader on
But got it back to the yard and with a bit of fettling got it all working bar the brakes that need new seals in the master cylinder
5 (or possibly 7?) tonner? .. watch the reduction hubs on those Lansings - planetaries have a habit of letting go if abused - other than that a good truck - could well have been made about 20 miles from me

What is the tracked screener in the background to the second photo? Is it yours?
Yes mine. Bought it on a whim last year as was local. I have been using it to rattle clean drainage stone for myself. Was going to look at hiring it out but insurance way too much of a headache, plus my day job has got busier due to my right hand woman going off on maternity. Will be putting it up for sale in the next couple of months. Lots of clay in my stone, so needs to be VERY dry, which it was until today!

I have a friend who has been looking for a Rhino screener, but that looks more compact. What make/model is it?

Irish Version. Only 2 way screen and Lighter and smaller than Rhino. Think the Rhinos are 3 way screen with 3 conveyors and almost too heavy to tow legally. This one is light enough to legally tow behind a 3.5ton Van. Conway S10. Will PM you a link

Trench for hedge planting today at the house across from my barn. Working for the garden designer so obviously the plan changed several times ๐Ÿ™„ knew I should have brought the tracked dumper but 'no, you won't need the dumper, we'll just pile the soil there'
Ended up walking over the road and getting the loader to clear up ๐Ÿ˜†
Left the digger there, went and collected/delivered a tidy little ride on for a customer. Took at least 20 minutes longer than it should have done as we got talking about mowers, land rovers and engines in general ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ‘
Went back to pick up the digger, got talking to the guy who owns the place about dealing with a big pile of waste soil/hardcore in the field. Could be a nice job, if we can keep the designer out of it ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿคฃ To be fair the garden/landscaping looks fantastic, she's just such a pain to deal with ๐Ÿ™„
That's 3 jobs with 3 different diggers in 3 days this week ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
