Bugger! You beat me to it with that one.

I'd just seen it and thought it sounded perfect!

There was a big 6x6 ex-MOD 1976 Fire Engine on there too a couple of days ago.

Cheers,
James

Conrod

I think you need to speak with the fatherinlaw

I'm just guessing he would know where to find what you need


DEAN C. - 26/2/06 at 12:12 PM

Conrod,
whats it for ?
I have the feeling I'm missing something here,
I can get you a 6x4 bin lorry cheap!
One careful owner,full service history.
No i'm not joking!!


theconrodkid - 26/2/06 at 12:55 PM

ok bob,ill do that,dean,its for a mobile drilling rig,30 feet long/high (depends on weather its up or down) and weighs about 4 tons.must be able to traverse muddy feilds and carry a crew of 4.
the rig was originaly mounted on a truck that was used on the D day landings,thats going to a good home and the rig is now imobile looking for a new set of wheels


DEAN C. - 26/2/06 at 07:49 PM

See my U2U,the trucks we deal with are usually 6x4 with double drive rear axles with diff locks on the 2nd axle and usally lock the 2nd and 3rd axles together.
they are designed to carry your bin rubbish up and down the tips but I must admit they do some times get stuck,not very good when you have to crawl under them on the tip with a million seagulls.
The best tip is look for a big piece of cardboard first!
