The 'Today's Job' thread

[Furniss]

To be fair the chipper @Monkeybusiness has soon clears some stuff up. Plus it doesn’t hurt to get out of the cab and work up a sweat once in a while

Hey ...ive been running about like a blue arsed fly all day .. and I hand fed that heap.
Its for the local landlord, a new entrance to put in and there was a lot of branches left from a half finished tree clearance job. ...last little job he paid us in food and wine, this time I said we needed folding stuff !

I need to change careers. Power flush machines and thermal cameras not satisfying my urges anymore. Todays fix is a £80 project to see if I can turn it into a grading box /leveller for the Tafe. 3 miles away so handy. I don’t like going far

It drives lovely, but the fuel tank is naff. Filled up at 11 before I left the yard. Drove it a couple of miles to site- 16mph and quite comfy on the road. Gets to 4pm and the guage hits red, light comes on. Twenty minutes later it's amost at the bottom of the guage! Fk me that didn't last long.

Get it back and it takes 23 litres. Check the specs and the tank is 26 litres. Pathetic. Economy is good (3.5-4 lpm, same as the old one) but this bloody emissions bollocks takes up all the space so you only have enough diesel for 6-7 hours work!
