Greystone seems to be main source. I tend to buy through a small family owned outfit so they deal with the quarry.

assume the little Giant is loading the pallets, not moving them about

assume the little Giant is loading the pallets, not moving the about

Breaking them down to Giant sized loads, then shifting them and restacking
Ideal job for a multi-one/avant- Giant obviously isn't man enough really, but my loader/a telehandler would have struggled because of the state of the pallets. All laid out in random directions, rotted out, ground is all over the place etc.
Fair bit of manual labour involved, but I'll earn a good day's money for about 4 hours on site, and use more diesel in the truck than the loader has, and keep a good client happy

Have you got the second spare furrow/mouldboard.
I did one up with grandfather years ago but broke a furrow last year moving it about in the yard. Name your price

I've just had a look and my other spare is no good unfortunately.
Surely there are plenty of them kicking about in the nettles down your way!
Suppose it's a bit rockier down there so maybe not as they'd have taken a bit more of a hammering back when they were used in anger

Anyone else use these collapsible Ketter benches? They're bloody brilliant and really not expensive, 70->80 quid from toolstation. I use mine all the time for work, camping,anything- currently got a brand new one in my front room
Having a bench set up makes a massive difference on pretty much all jobs, even if it just saves you looking for the spanner you had in your hand 10 seconds ago, or somewhere to put your drink

Brilliant bits of kit and once you get the hang of them they take about 3 seconds to put up. Need to get one to keep somewhere in the van. Bought a couple for work but one lives in one of the engineers vans and the other broke when my slimmest installer was stood on it. Rated for 400kg and probably weighs 50kg with wet clothes on. God knows why it broke.
10/10 would recommend them to anyone. Mine were/are KETER branded

So quick to put up and down once you get the hang of it
I'd say he stood on it without locking the center strut in place, it's remarkable how flimsy it is with that folded! I stood on mine to fix the top of a gazebo a couple of weeks ago, I weigh well over double your guy, no movement at all

Whats the stove William?

Cheap and cheerful(ish) vango. It's OK, nothing exciting
Mate has the amazon one, used it a couple of weeks ago and it's great, folds up well, loads of power and takes 2 of the square frying pans well I'll be upgrading

Thanks been looking for something decent for "pickup camping"
So many on Amazon that look utter crap.

Reminds me of dad and his workmate. He absolutely swore by them
