minus 10s here, got up to 1 degree down near the coast today. Doesn't feel bad at all, was changing the pickups wheels for studded winter ones on Monday, didn't realise how cold it was till I had to peel my hand off the alloy.

Hope it’s a hell of a cold winter for you.

I could do with -10 for several weeks, I might get something done then!

There’s one on an 8 wheel Daf chassis. I’m pretty sure it was the biggest in this country when it arrived. Been used to reposess cars and caravans hidden behind houses !

Think they're known as G88's here. He has a heap of them for silage work and some newer (but not that new) F's FM's and FH's for silage, straw and potatoes. Got to get the most out of gear you know
They do some big hours too, just fixes them up when they break. Think most of them are set up with air conditioners etc so not too terrible on a hot day.
Might as well give him a plug, few pics on their website.
