Sun Valley,Hereford,used to come into Wincanton at Maltby as well as Tom’s Transport.This ERF may well have been one of them.A lot of their trailers had underslung fridges and there was knack starting and setting them as I recall.Apologies if you’ve seen the picture before.

Most of it is done by several of their ex drivers who have set up on their own,who also employ other former drivers from Sun Valley,finnly300 will have more detail than me.
Cheers Dave.

Thanks,when were clearing our farms near the feed mill i always look in as i go over the level crossing,that would explain why i havent seen any sun valley
feed trailers.Yes mate were clearing Monkswood today,i aint been down there this crop,lucky really as it gets a bit busy on site with 3 teams catching and the cleaners in as well,my motor has gone down this evening with a late driver,hopefully he will be back for when i get in or i will end up in an MAN 
We have to be a bit carefull when we come out the site nextdoor to Monkswood we used to turn left and come back up into Goytre but we never know now when the other sites you do are clearing and you wouldnt want meet on that bend, so safer to go back Little Mill and save the embarassment

Well,I think youre safe for a while now 
Monkswood cleared today,both Kilpeck farms plus Orcop Hill was last wk,next one on your door step is my favorite farm…Fawley Cross 
(youre welcome to that one back )
From my point of view you can keep Fawley,and Stoney Court, the o/d’s on the other hand would love them back , work on the door step not much diesel used, i’d rather Somerset or Devon out the way for half a day 
.Time for the pit catch you soon all
Cheers Fin
