A Scania wagon and drag tipper,seen on the A470 at Felenfach near Brecon.One for Harry Gill,if we can persuade him to drive a tipper

I reckon they’re more versatile than standard artics on tipper work, Dave. When the works slack, drop the trailer and do local work or vice versa on quiet days and do stock work with the drag coupled up…

Having to do tipper work on the odd occasion was bad enough having to do it with “two motors” would be rubbing it in a bit don’t you think, now two flats with canny rope and sheets and i might just be available, but the old lady might put the block on it she’s got me putting a new bathroom suite in at the moment got an hour or two break waiting for the floor tiles to set, thats my excuse and i’m sticking with it.
Surely driving a tipper Harry,would be better than all that purgatory you are suffering,fitting that bathroom suite .
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Go on then Dave but just a “little un”.and as far as the plumbing goes as soon as this job’s done every DIY tool i’ve got is going in the skip just keeping a little screwdriver i can still manage to put a plug on, and without moaning as well.
thanks harry long retired
Shssss Harry,only a qualified electrician is allowed to put a plug on nowadays,so you can bin the small screwdriver as well.Will keep my eye open for a small tipper with a trailer.I think Tarmac Contracting may have one.I will find out .
Cheers Dave.

I would think it’s a bit of a pain having to tip the trailer Nathan,then having to drop it,then hook up to it again after tipping the lorry.
Cheers Dave…
I have seen someone tip a trailer, then park it at right angles and tip the rigid load up over the drawbar and barely get any spillage onto it

You would only be able to do that on a level site I would think Nathan,the bloke you saw do that is pretty nifty.

hiya,
Norm my trailer mate, perish the thought Dave he’d set the sat-nav for the middle east and i can’t drive on the wrong side of the road the knotted rope would get some wellie i’ll tell ya,and the old goat would be leading me astray and the bathroom would never get finished and after a lifetime on the road i could still get lost in London, don’t need the hassle of getting lost over in them strange places and not being able to ask directions because them folk can’t talk proper, although Norm can muster a bit of foreign language whereas i’m stuck with a bit of English and a lot of rubbish, Ithink i’ll stick with doing the bathroom, but thanks anyway.
thanks harry long retired.

Sounds as if Norm’s off the job then Harry,perhaps you could train him as a plumbers mate,get him some stilsons,he could fit the cold water pipe to the cistern.You have probably got a drop of malt hidden under the bath,just to revive him every now and then if fatigue got the better of him .
Cheers Dave.

Had it refurbished and resprayed John,during November and December,probably a waste of money,but it was either that or scrap it.It’s a good back up vehicle and mechanically good,even though it’s done nearly 250,000 miles.

Put my foot in it there Harry,not for the first time 
.Like most of us I expect he had the old wonderlust for the open road in him.I expect if he had his time again with all the rules and reg’s with driving,he would stick to the plumbing,especially with your brew .
