    A lifetimes collection

    That is an absolute hoss of a forklift. My concrete is crumbling just thinking about it! The old Sed Ak is the one that caught my eye, though 😍

    Deutz-Fahr 5090G bouncing problem on the road

    @feilding got it - smaller tyres need more pressure to hold weight. A good rule of thumb is this - tractor rear wheels 1 BAR, 4wd front wheels 1.5BAR, 2wd tractor front wheels 2BAR.

    Deutz-Fahr 5090G bouncing problem on the road

    I’d do 22psi front, 16psi rear. Your tyre place sounds like they only know cars.

    Land Prices South East

    It’s up to the seller how much he wants ask for them. It’s up to the market to see if his price is right. If you don’t buy them, somebody else might. Bid him.

    Hole. The bane of my life! Massive air leak. Water always reveals the location. At least it’s a straightforward repair.

    Loaded up and trucking!!

    I’ve had a few runs in to London in my DAF. It is a fairly short wheelbase rigid, mind… but I drive there like I drive up here in the Lake District in summer - fill the road, and make it quite apparent that I’m not going to stop!

    Today NOT at work

    Some yesterday stuff. The kid’s tractor broke down on day one of driving lessons, so it was time to sort that out. Turned out to be some utterly ridiculous welding on the clutch fork / idler roller operating rod performed by some brainless oaf prior to my ownership… Seriously, if you turn out...

    Playing with a new toy, today. An hour and a half’s fettling and she was ready for work!

    Times Leader

    My OH has a subscription to The Times and I find it unreadable. It’s a limp-wristed, Cornish pastie shoe-wearing circle jerk of weak men and testosterone-filled women. Bloody awful.
