2002, set up as a 3 seater van/camper. Taken it on 10 days round Scotland, Dartmoor, Peak District and Lands End with a trailer (delivered a flail to Redruth) from Hertfordshire in the last few months. Then I can change the wheels for the muds and do a play day
It's in the dog house now though- alternator died while I was trying to help cars stuck on the ice this evening
Oh and someone slid into it in a focus earlier. Focus needs a bonnet, I need precisely nothi

How do you get the display to show outside temp?
Any pics of the inside? Ive been thinking of doing exactly the same, remove os rear seat and maybe a big long draw that goes up behind the drivers seat and some sort of split bulkhead.

On a JCB 8008 for mate today, ground frozen solid which didn't help, the machine isn't too bad but whoever thought of the layout of the controls needs to have a word with themselves. By far the most uncomfortable machine I've sat on, if you have your feet on the floor the levers sit on your lap, so you have to spend the day with your legs at another 45 degrees further out. I couldn't even reach the slew pedals without having to slide forwards a bit View attachment 42278

Can’t beat a micro with servos. I can’t believe that old shite still sells

Got out
The irony of asking the weight after moving isn't lost on me

I don't know with newer ones but always thought 3 ton benford was about 2750 ish.
Interesting on backwards I'd have thought that would put a lot of weight on hitch

Nice tyres on it and nice new ifor, if it’s a thwaites 7000 then it’ll be about 2300kg

Fair game then. It's when you want to leave site but the skips full of muck that it gets a bit dubious

From experience with benford 3ton sits perfect on ifor forwards without being right to the front.
