New toy day

[Boothy]

Have you ever had any problem with the u bolts on the legs breaking? my only concern is that might be a weak point?

No problems with them at all, did plenty of shear-pin sections but we have some heavy riverside clay and it was an exceptionally dry year so to be expected.

 

[DieselRob]

Thanks. Are they a straight swap for the original ones?

Any pics of them?

These have only done about 50ac so far


Genuine set with only tungsten point had chipped the tile completely off on 4 out of 6 before they had done 30ac

Had price moved while you "carefully considered" your decision?

Yes it had moved a bit but the next move is a lot more so i thought best to get one now , Suffolk Agri Centre have looked after me ok on this

 

[Barleymow]

I,m guessing you paid just over £2k for that, they have doubled in price as well, I bought mine when the beast from the east hit us, 1st job I did was clear our lane from snow £1k it cost, I priced a bucket grab the other day from local dealer, £5k , crazy.

Under 1k

 

[icanshootwell]

Under 1k

Good deal then, who's the dealer, maybe they do bucket grab?

I would say dealers name is on side of the bucket

So, this turned up today. Couple of years old, 180hp of turbo goodness. I took the rear bags off. Electronically adjustable front and rear suspension, heated grips, seat, and throttle lever. Auxiliary power for heated driving goggles or visor, heated compartment for smartphone and 12V power outlet.

Just need some snow

Just need some snow

We got plenty and in fact it's snowing right now. Upper picture from dealers well scraped yard and the second from my carport.

This is a bit more mundane than the above but just what we need. The Barry Sheene handlebar fairing is still AWOL but at least weather dry….for now.

Now this really is a toy!
Perhaps one of the last old school internal combustion engined pocket rockets we'll see.

Very very cool! I need to try one of these out!

New manitou has arrived in the yard. Very similar to the one that’s leaving but just feels tighter overall as you would expect. Had them fit a hitch light on this one too, and joy of joys they’ve actually put a cup holder in this one!!
First pic is the old one ready to leave… clean as a whistle!

Dad seems happy with it

Braw, you like to keep them fresh, how many hours was on the old one?

 

[Tucker]

Very smart, that looks lovely ..... it's the wrong colour but still !!!

Don’t know if its the same dash as our 635 but I was only saying to the chap servicing ours this morning that it’s nice they went the extra step & put a cup holder in…but a shame they can’t do basics like fit a clock that keeps time even vaguely right

Take a photo before it gets dirty

We also had a new one in yesterday - I was assured the clock would keep time, but confidence level is low.

I won't post pictures as proof, due to the new one already being much dirtier than Colin's and its predecessor's state a risk of causing heart damage!

Not very chuffed at handbrake 'improvements'

Very cool, someone wanted to race me in one of those the other week with my 16yr old WRX - from a rolling start there wasn’t anything in it which surprised me as the GR should have smoked me in my head? Either that or he wasn’t pushing . Enjoy it

This was taken this morning before it left.
