I go off and bend a ram and come back to all this.
Tractors are for tractoring.
Lorries are for haulage.
Westminster are C U N T S
The rest is just opinions amoung the lively group that exists on here!

And on that note we can draw a line under last weeks discussions and focus on next weeks jobs

Found an afternoon free to scrape off a bit of wild ground at the end of our garage (we have some odd bits of land thrown in with our little semi as it was last one sold back in 2006). Planning to drop a full size gravel parking bay in there and turf round the edge. Tipper was full (wish it was bigger!) and filled a couple of tubs to fit in the front of the plant trailer so I could get cleared today. Don’t want to be making a noise on a Sunday as villagers frown on it. View attachment 53204View attachment 53205

Did it tip it off? I got 4 bulk bags dropped on my big 12’ one at end of farm track by merchants wagon took it up track and wouldn’t tip it had to shovel the clean stone back till eventually it would. Clean stone levelled itself was only 2/3 way up sides but across full 12x6

Thank your lucky stars it tips electronically. My tipper requires a bar and a bit of sweat. Never runs out of charge though

I spent many weeks of my teenage years loading Rotary dung spreader with a dung fork. At least they emptied themselves!

 

[JoeS]

Couple of odds and ends I did over the last couple of months that I actually took pictures of.

Before picture then roughed in, to be finished and seeded in spring (client only wanted a rough shape to see out his windows and decide exactly what he wanted)
The other pictures is some grass seeding/ landscaping. Last job I did for seeding season

Better not show how the digger got there toys will end up flying….

Lovely place on a bonny day! less bonny today
It was a machine i had hired. I really like it had it a few times now. smooth ,plenty of power, stable, seems canny enough on diesel. Only complaint is the seat gives me a sore back after enough hours in the seat. Assuming its just a option that needs ticked for a nicer one.
