[Bucket on wheels]

We have it here too ..our signs are in French and Breton ...when ever it's discussed most think it's a waste of money but should be just in Breton.
and a lot don't think Bretagne should be part of France anyway, the guy down at the testing station collers me every year to explain that soon it's going to get independence from France and it was taken illegally etc.
Finally nobody likes a sign more than the French....end of our road makes me laugh out loud when I notice it from time to time.
EDIT: in fact I'm going to count the signs at the end of our road (entrance to village) and nearest guess gets a special prize in the post .

So the Avant on extended forks removes and relocates 6 pods after a cock up by my clients client, an intense late day due to serious lack of space.

that is the issue with extensions on a 4ft fork ....
if you're likely to use them often enough, a set of 6ft forks makes a world of difference when using 8ft extensions
had 6ft and 8ft forks for my 7t Hyster ... was always worth the effort of wrestling the damned things onto the carriage, over using extensions

Had to be 8' as needed to come all the way through the pod for support, we were unsure whether the Avant would lift them either before we tried

understand what you mean, but a 4 ft fork leaves the load virtually balanced on the fork tips with 8ft extensions ... unless they're a snug fit on the forks ... 's why I liked the 160 x 80 x 10 RHS .. nice fit on 4t forks

Why not just hard stand it with stone? Or Do you use it for turn out area rather than just a landing zone from muddy field, if turn out build a little sand school area you’ve got lots of sand down there lol and wagons to move it.

Did originally did a type 1 area for horse to turn out if field is wet but wasn't very thick as awkward access to get it there plus we don't own the land
Horses over time had dug through it while eating hay where they stood with there front hoof's and the mud came up

The wank stain of a young (22) labourer decided to open the cage on my forced action mixer place a large rock in, close cage and start it up. the inevitable jam happened Bent the solid 1-1.5” bar that holds the paddles and cracked the casting on the paddle head. Managed after some serious effort to get it somewhat mixing again but it’s not like it was. £300 for new arm and £100 for new rubbers. Tempted to get them and deduct it out of his wages.

Meant the lime renderers couldn’t do anything and I wasn’t on the other job missed weekly client meeting and cracking on.

Very frustrating, new mobile 200amp Honda welder is good though now need to find a back up forced action anyone sees another imer360 let me know.
