Had to move some stone roof slates from the job we are on from the remote barn to the farm yard 1 mile down the track, loaded up the ifor tipper from front to back axle. By the time we unloaded in the farm yard we’d filled 5 pallets full! Must have been 5 ton eek truck was like a speedboat

also the farmers bull kept getting in the way met the lads at one of the gates debating how to move the bull. I had to go shoo it out the way, checked with farmer and he said he was a softie turns out he liked to be stroked like a dog lol

then driving home 3 cars in front 21 plate brand new discover ran up verge smashed a tree rolled and span. Had to help them out with few others while fire brigade and others turned up. Discovery was full of booze bottles everywhere think they’d done their Xmas shop,

Then had to do a u turn with 12ft ifor on narrow 2 lane Rd.
Someone's Christmas starting badly lol

I did the top ball joint on the Iveco Daily wishbone today.

It was a piece of piss with a 50ton press and a lathe!
I had my 10kg breaker on it and all it did is make a half inch crater. Bottle jacks done nothing.
ive ordered a big chinese g clamp thing, failing that maybe a 20-30 tone bottle jack if it fits.
