Evening Dennis

Believe it or not it was bought by one man, a certain Mr Pears of J G Pears animal by products so yet again the big money being spent has not been generated through farming… the one we missed out on was bought by a consortium of top breeders with deep pockets…

Cheers Wrighty.

“Animal by Products” well that sounds a bit “iffy” !! :wink: Has he bought it to “use” or “butch” !! Them Chops sound a bit tough like if he bought it to butch!!! Have you ever thought of changing over to rearing Roughs ? Tastier meat and better wool than Swadalls ! :wink: Cheers Dennis.

I saw a couple of your motors heading south on the A1 last night just below the M62 Buzzer i felt for them the Doncaster section is constantly queing
, not what you want friday at 4.30 pm

Ha Buzzer good old wine collections,i well remember when we had 15 to 20 collections ,all hand ball ,when you were on the VIN -DE-ROUTE in any area allways villages, never sure how high to go and of course you had to step the loading else they would go over ,and the owner would always want you to have a slug, it got dangerous after a while,in the end i would refuse from the start ,they never liked it but you had a good days work to do then end up at a custom house.

You would back on a bay and think you were going to top your load up ,wrong…you have to start taking all your hand ball off on to pallets and then they would load you pallets of some other wine so what you had done was a load of local collections for the company , it was CARBATAGE ,WHO KNEW AND WHO CARED they did not and your own company knew but what could you do in the end you i got wise and started to drop the odd case, soon no more collections.

Here is a blast from the past Keith Barrett from Newcastle, he used our office as a staging post for his drivers in the 90’s, he would send me a wad of running money which I was in charge of handing to his drivers on there way out, he had four trucks then doing Spain one hit both ways most times round trip every week how did they stick it, wonder if he is still around was a fanatical Newcastle football supporter and went to all the away matches as well the home ones, Buzzer.

PS. Wrighty you can turn tap of now lad we got enough water thanks. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Buzzer is the above a factory axle configuration or aftermarket cheers Dan

Evening Buzzer

I wish we could find the bloody tap cos we would have turned it off a long time ago, it’s a bog up ere glad we got the cattle in when we did. Only got a dozen heifers out now and they will be coming in shortly for our TB test on the 9th Nov.

Cheers Wrighty.

He says it’s getting done up this time although the back needs stripping it’s had some stick on tree roots with the topper not done the threads much good on the casings :open_mouth: :unamused:

Dan I think Volvo did a pusher axle back then and IIRC we had two F10’s on a C reg with the same set up on containers for Dual Carriage, bought them with the work of a mate, Buzzer.

Here in Ross-shire crops of wheat and malting barley ripened nicely on time some getting combined in decent weather but since then almost daily rain made the rest of the harvest a bit of a disaster, the dry breaks put a lot of pressure on the combine and baling contractors, now nearly November and a fair lotta bales still to get carted in.
A few loads of bales, the first pic in Holland and last pic a load of hay grown on irrigated land in the Sahara, that would be a bit precious…

This is a shot of the only “pusher axle” Volvo we ran and surprisingly it did very well on tyre wear even though the axle was fixed. I was bit wary when I bought it about tyre wear but it was OK. The 6x2 Scanias we ran were steered mid axles which I preferred.

Didn’t some of the early Volvos have a centre axle that “self steered” at low speed, but locked up at higher speed?
