the commercial discoveries are cracking vehicles id have one of them if i didnt need the pickup bit for peckers and buckets etc

we are trying to buy a new tractor at the moment 1 with 40kph box and suspension getting bored of 20mph haha

my navara is making a horrible clicking noise out the front transfer box but not had time to investigate it

My navara is missing a wheel :laugh: Dad crashed it on the weekend, swerved to avoid a dog on the road, hit the kerb, wheel buckled and snapped off.
Rough estimate, 2k to repair.

40k is old hat...lol
MSH :)
yeah but im only spending 20k cant justify 90k on a new 50kph one plus dont want a massive one as still need it for field maintenance mowing harrowing topping hedging etc and the fields up this way are a little smaller than norfolk lol.

i bet the drivers of cheshire are getting the hump poodling along behind agricultural machinery day in day out
cannot remember the last time i saw a tractor on the roads round here most of the farmers tend to use 8 wheelers to move gear around
