do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
this has been doing the rounds since I was duck hunting in '12/'13/'14 ... from memory it was getting bandied about at around £5.5K back then ... somewhere I've probably got pix ?

A lot of money for it , by the time it looked respectable you’d be better buying a younger machine. Scrap value is where that should be .

be a handy yard tool at half the money

I thought it was 7750 ! Bloody eyesight !! Just looked at the video , I think the steering axle is suspended and the rear is fixed , when you see him lifting it about it looks that way . He’ll off a project and he is open to offers . What’s 8 tonne of scrap worth today ?agreed Vin ... be some project - there is a vid with the ad. and I forgot to put the link up .........

Cooke bros Engineering @V8Druid check them out.
Some of the biggest milling machines and lathes you'll ever see.
Interesting fellas, big collection of County and Muir hill tractors too.

They aren’t very good at anything they do, only ever owned by ‘overcompensating’ fellas, lots of owners have been lost to Anally Injected Death Syndrome apparently…
(Except for Mogman, obviously he’s not in any way ever been anything of the above, and definitely hasn’t caught AIDS in public toilets or gay-byes)….

This was one of the ones that I spotted locally, photo from the Mercedes Web site.
I could see thundering about towing a Menzimuck 545, be worth having logo'd beefy flap and getting Wilton to make custom carpets.
Pair of arbortec chainsaw boots with the built in crampons and I'd look the kiddy .......
......be beating them off with a shitty stick
